Na 3,9 ,,' SENHJR l:l.Ass .PLAY ' 0 O 0 THE PROFESSOR PROPOSESU On Tuesday evening, May 14, the Senior class presented the class pllay, The Professor Proposes, at the community audi- torium. The play, a three-act comedy by Evelyn Northrop, was staged under the direction of Miss Earlene Ransom. The play centered around Emily Gilmore and Geraldine Flint in their efforts to make Bert Cornell notice Emily. Geraldine assured her the situation just called for management. ,Men would always go for a girl if they thought some other man was interested! So Geraldine built up an imaginary romance for Emily, using a photo as the hero of it. Sure enough, Bert was in- terested right away. And' then the original of the photo showed up--as a new member of the faculty! The students were in a twitter. Geraldine appealed to the new prof to propose to Emily. With a pair of gossiping freshmen planted nearby to overhear Emily say No, thanks. the situation could be saved. The new professor had no intention of co-operating. He was recently married and was keeping it secret, since his Job called for a single man. But Geraldine convinced him there was no other way out. And then his pretty bride appeared-just in the nick of time to hear him. proposing to someone else! In the excitement that followed, the profe'ssor's marriage, Emily's and Bert's ro- mance, and the professor's new job all seemed headed for dis- aster. But the strong-minded Dean of Women leaped to the rescue of all three and all ended happily. ' The cast of characters was as folloiws: Geraldine Flint, a scatterbrained Junior . .

These were Carolyn Bloom and La Verle Olson. Both were marriedg Carolyn lived in Wahoo and La Verle on a farm east o-f Wausa. We next visited Omahais army air base. The commanding officer himself offered to show us around. We were quite proud vf such an honor, especially since this distinguished man was Colonel Donald Samuelson. Sam gave us a lift to Wausa, too, since he was planning a visit. We met the 30th member of the class of '46 in Wausa High. She was Leona Swanson, now Math and Science teacher in -the old alma mater. Leona, too, wore a diamond on her left hand. Thus ended an eventful vacation in which We learned the whereabouts of each member of the best remembered class ever to be graduated from Wausa High--THE CLASS OF 1946! -Lorna Lou Bornholdt UUR FAREWELL 'obo Four long years of High School Seem blended into one. As We in retrospection Reviexw what We have done. We'll bury all our failures In the dim and dusty past. And we'll keep the smiles of friendship, And our fun, to the very last. Again life opens wide the door Through which we'll pass with ambition and hope Into that harsher world, of which we know so little With eager faith, its tasks We'll meet and cope. We have learned about History and Science And of course the value of right living. Then, may there be no idle dreams or selfish visions But to all mankind-a real blessing. I --Jo Ann Tunberg
