6 X X 1? SENICIR CLASS PLAY o 0 0 0 0 0 A LITTLE HONEY On Tuesday evening, May 8, the class of '45 presented the senior class play, A Little Honey , at the Community Auditor- ium. The play, a delightful three act comedy by Wm. Davidson, was staged under the direction of Miss Viola Mogck. The play centered around the romance between Diana Min- ton and Tom Corning. Diana's mother had taught her that men like women to be intelligent rather than attractive, but when Diana put this theory to practice on Tom, who had just return- ed from. two year's overseas service, she found that it did not work very well. Grandma, old in years but young in ideas, saw that the romance was headed for the rocks, and decided to in- tervene. She knew that one must use a little honey to catch a m-an. She showed Diana how to dress the stage and herself for a proposal. After a few interruptions, Grandma's technique suc- ceeded and Diana had anchored Tom to her heart forever. The cast of characters was as follows: Jerry Minton, a teen-ager ............... Elaine Moline Albert Parker, from next door ................ Ralph Enquist Caroline, Scoots, Jerry's younger sister ...... Norma Bumann Diana, Jerry's older sister ............. . . . Beverly Schulte Delores Megglehammer, the cook ...... . . .

M' I ivlx sf SENIOR SKIP DAY Members of the Class of '45 enjoyed the customary Skip Day on Thursday, March 29, when they put aside their books for a day and drove to Sioux City to spend the day of freedom from classes. Twenty-six seniors, together with their sponsor. Mr. I-Iegstrom, left Wausa shortly after seven o'cloc'k and ar- rived at their destination a couple of hours later. After enjoy- ing la belated breakfast, the entire group boarded a street car for Morningside. Arriving there, the class toured the campus under the guidance of Dean Hartman. Places of interest on the campus were the library, the conservatory of music, the gym- nasium, and the barn , the students' recreation and social build- ing. The group also had the pleasure of attending a Freshmen class chapel program where a take-off of the musical comedy Oklahoma was presented, The girls also enjoyed a trip through the fine dormitory located near the campus. Returning to down-town Sioux City, the class met at David- son's Tea Room for their noon luncheon. During the afternoon, several of the group visited the NBT Business College and the Lutheran Hospital. Others spent their time shopping, attending the movies, or riding the street cars, which seemed to be a popu- lar diversion for many of the group. The evening hours were spent in roller-ska-ting or at the movies. After a day of fun and excitement in the city, the group started for home, tired, but happy because of the splendid time and beautiful spring day which they had for this eventful part of their high school life.-Virginia Mae Carlson.
