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 . .

RW 2,9 SENIOR SKIP DAY - 0.0 At four o'clock on the morning of April 12, the members of the class of '46 left Wausa, in a chartered bus, bound for Omaha to spend their traditional skip day. They were accompanied on the trip by their sponsor, Chas. McMunn, and Supt. Harry Hegstrom- The first stop was made at Fremont, shortly after seven o'clock, Where arrangements had been made for an early break- fast, at Petrows. After enjoying a sumptuous breakfast, the group was soon on its way again. The next stop was at Boys Town, 'Where a guide took the entire group on a conducted tour of the grounds and several buildings. Places of interest here included the gymnasium, the print shop, the pottery shop, the dormatories and dining hall, as well as the beautiful memorial chapel. At the souvenir, shop, members of the class purchased various articles as mementos of their visit to the city of little men. r From Boys Town, the class proceeded to the Omaha air- port, where they had an interesting time, watching several big air-liners land and take-off again. Several of the boys took rides in one of the commercial planes stationed at the airport. After a late noon luncheon, at Dixon's, the members of the group separated. Some of the class members visited the Joslyn Memorial, while others 'were shopping, visiting with relatives, or attending the movies. Shortly before eleven o'clock, after a day of fun and ex- citement, the group started for home, tired but happy. The day which was beautiful and eventful, will linger long in the mem- ories of the class of '46.-Betty Jane Newquist. 0 0 0 0 o o AUTOGRAPHS
