WITNESS: Gene Johnson 00000 SENIOR CLASS PLAY O O O I O O A MIND OF HER OWN On Tuesday evening, May 16, the Class of '44 presented their class play, A Mind of Her Own , at the community audi- torium. The play was a three act comedy by Anne Ferring Weatherly, and was directed by Miss Viola Mogck. The story of the play dealt with the difficulties and troubles of Bunny, whose efforts to imitate everybody else, but never by any chance just be herself, created many amusing sit- uations in the production. After trying on her friends' personali- ties like as many hats, she at last tries on her own and dis- covers that it fits, But in the meantime, she nearly loses the one man, queers at big business deal for her father, and creates a pandemonium of tension and laughter for the audience.

SENIOR SKIP DAY On Friday morning, April 21, the long awaited skip day became a reality, when the members of the class of 1944 left, bright and early, to spend the day in Sioux City, The class arriv- ed at their destination a few minutes after nine o'clock, and im- mediately proceeded to Davidson's Tea Room, where they enjoy- ed a hearty breakfast, before embarking upon the day's, activi- ties. They returned to the Tea Room for their noon luncheon where they were seated together at one long table. As all industrial places were closed to visitors for the dura- tion of the war, members of the class spent their time in various ways. Many of the group rode the street-cars from one end of the city to the other, this being a new experience for most of them. Shopping, sight-seeing, roller skating and attending the theaters made up a full day for the class members. The group left for home about eleven o'clock, ,arriving at Wausa a couple of hours later. Despite the fact that it was meatless day in Sioux City, and that other war-time restric- tions prevailed, the class did have an enjoyable time, which will not be erased from their memories for a long time to come. i -Audrey Frevert. 00000 CLASS PCIEM O Q O I C I IN LEAVIN G It's time for the Seniors to say goodbye, To the studies they've pretended to dread. They'll lay down their books and silently sigh For their high school days have fled. They've chosen a motto, as all Seniors do, And selected their colors and flowers, i And they've thought of the years that so quickly flew For they have cherished every hour. Then they look to the future ahead of them, And each picks his walk of life, And they'1l work for the task that was meant for them, Though it may mean trouble and strife. A They might strive for the job of a white collar man, Or the task of a humble farmer, But they'1l work for America as best they can, And protect her from those who may harm her. -Arlene Poole
