Miss Schvvenker, vvifh her sfeadying influence, helped us vvifh our plans and preparafions for This parTy. T ln our junior year she sponsored and ad- vised The Peanufs of '47 . She also spenT her Safurday mornings and parT of her Chrisfmas holidays here aT school so ThaT vve mighT re- hearse sufficienfly and Thus presenf a finished performance. Now, in our senior year, Miss Schvvenlcer's job grovvs, if possible, even more arduous. l-lers are The monofonous defails of graduafion which done, go unnoficed buf, if forgoTTen, are glaring omissions.

As regulars in The pony chorus were DoTTy Spen- cer, MargiT Friedlander, Jean EllingTon, and MargareT STayTon. In The girls' singing chorus were Barbara Jaffe, Irmgard Kroeger, Helen CalverT MyrTIe Irwin, and Jo Pease. In The boys' singing and dancing choruses were Dick Bauer, Ken MiTchelI, Bill Williams, Amiel Wohl, and John Zeigler. TweIfTh NighT was The annual Shakespear- ean producTion puT on aT WalnuT Hills This year. Sam Davies and George Haynes of our class were parT of The casT. Mr. STewarT, aT The annual Shakespearean banaueT, Took The unprece- denTed sTep of offering To whoever idenTified a few lines he quoTed from one of Shakespeare's plays, a free lunch wiTh Miss LoTze in The faculTy Iunchroom. Sam Davies received The honor by Telephoning Mr. STewarT aT his home afTer The banauef and sTaTing The answer. Our spring play, The Bluebird, while by no means a producT of our own class, displayed The TalenTs of many of our members, noT only in The spoTlighT buT also offsTage. The play was given Twice, an unusual occurrence in The annals of WalnuT Hills' dramaTic hisTory: a regular Friday evening performance and a maTinee The Thurs- day before, To which members of The sevenTh and eighTh grades of oTher schools and of Wal- nuT Hills were especially inviTed. WiTh so many characTers symbolic of various elemenfs of na- Ture, amusing evenTs were bound To happen backsTage. Eddie Minor's face was red when, in answer To Miss BelIvilIe's quesTion, Is The Ass here? , he had To confess ThaT iT was he. The ChaTTerbox VarieTy Show, which was produced This year, offered To members of every grade a chance To display Their abiliTies. The PeanuTs of '46 and acTs from The sevenTh and eighTh grade as well as TalenT from our class were included. The ChaTTerbox raised The money iT needed, buT The fun we had would have amply compensaTed our efforTs in any evenT. Supervised by iTs PresidenT, John Zeigler, The Junior Hi-Y gave a Dinosaur Dance in April. The unusual feaTure of This dance was The aTmos- phere of prehisforic Times, compleTe wiTh mon- sTers, dinosaurs, caves, live cave men, and oTher fugiTives from The Cenozoic Age. High-lighTing The evening was The music of Johnny CIark's fif- Teen-piece band. WiTh The coming of spring, all of us began looking forward To The B. A. Prom, which, for The firsT Time, we were permiTTed To aTTend. Dick Schwab was seIecTed To be junior chairman of The affair, and DoTTy Spencer and Barbara GeisT headed commiTTees. Ever since The sevenTh grade we had anTicipaTed This May when we could join in This dance as privileged upper- classmen, We were noT disappoinTed, The prom of I947 lived up To our expecTaTions. Our gym was magically Transformed. Circus was The Theme, and The moTif was carried ouT by The gayly colored side-show painTings of faT women and Thin men, sword swallowers and snake charmers. Even in The choosing of The queen The circus paTTern was used wiTh a wheel of forTune spinning unTil iT poinfed To The lucky winner. Then The perfecT nighT did noT end for all wiTh The end of The dance, parTies aT The homes of several sTudenTs kepT The enTerTainmenT going. As graduaTion approached, The iunior girls as well as The seniors were anxious and an- Ticipafory. The seniors were, of course, waiTing for The faTeful day when To The music of Pomp and CircumsTance They would march down The aisle. The junior girls, Too, were hoping To march down The aisle as members of The TradiTionaI Daisy Chain. Chosen on The basis of personal appearance and refinemenT by Miss Clarke and her Senior Council, Ten girls lead The procession carrying The chain of fern. IT was universally agreed ThaT The girls chosen merifed The honor of boTh counTs. They were Rosemary Danner, BeTTy Ann Davis, Jean EIlingTon, MargiT Fried- Iander, Joan Gradison, Joan Henke, Jane Long- naker, Jeannine McCue, Lois Ann Pfau, and Nancy Sebasfian. ,W If Mfd S Q lliif f' I' T' S y si eg Q5 ,S f as X - Eg .5 X Big Sisfers and Big Brofhers for The nexT year were chosen as were officers for The class and The various publicaTions. WiTh ThaT we prepared To Take on The responsibiliTies and privileges ThaT go wiTh The TiTle Senior . This sums up The firsT five years of our school hisTory. Our lasT year is recorded here for all To see. IT is a record of fun and enioymenT, buT ThaT is noT all. IT is a record of high school achievemenT, which will noT end unTil The sTrains of Pomp and CircumsTance play ouT our year and ring in commencemenT. CommencemenT is beginning, and we The class of T948 are ready now To begin The shaping of The fuTure, our fu- Ture and ThaT of our world.
