Seniors, will we ever forget; Having sticky paper put on our mouths in the first grade when we whispered. Building doll houses from various materials, in the second grade. The years we had Miss Throckmorton for arithmetic. She knew her stuff. Changing classes in the fifth and sixth grades. Did we feel big! Marching down the aisle in red caps and gowns at sixth grade commencement. Watching high school kids when we went to big study hall for the first time. The feeling of being important when we entered senior high school. The shyness with which we entered clubs in our freshman and sophomore years. Having to go bare-footed all day at initiation when we were Freshmen. Those feeds every fall and spring with weiners and hamburgers. Singing in Home Room period in our freshman and sophomore years. Sponsoring a Spanish-American styled Junior-Senior Reception. The Physics class drinking cokes and eating candy during Mr. Russell's absence. Mr. Stockton and his dots and dashes. Several senior boys leaving Geography class. Were their mouths full? Singing and gabbing in the bus on the way to Ohio State games at Columbus. Our clowns Charlie Ross and Bill Wickline performing for us morning and noon. Page Fourteen

By her quick thinking, Grandma thwarts the underhanded plans of Genevieve and Archie Van Camp, and starts her grandchildren, Jim and Mary, on the road to matrimony with Joan the Maid and William the Butler. THOSE IN THE CAST LIKE TO REMEMBER: Dorsey's superb portrayal of Grandma. Compliments to the whole cast for a fine performance. The expression on the faces of Wadsie and Greene as Vic walked off the stage with two pages of script unsaid. He came back! Seabold's ejaculation that Babe can really slap a face. Half of the cast ad-libbing while waiting for Margie to primp. Mr. Mawhinney as the first man director — and a marvelous success. Cora, Bob, and Miss Dean working methodically backstage. Hurley's evident enjoyment of the scene in the dark. Margie calling James every name but his stage name during the matinee. Page Sixteen
