gn glfemoriam Une hy one those who are dear to us leave. We cannot hope to keep them always, and yet we cannot but feel regret and sorrow in their pass- ing. During the past year our loss has been great. Both the faculty and student body have felt it. In our minds remain the memories of Louis C. Ward, our school superintendent, Clifford B. Risk, our botany instruc- tor. and James Nichols, a member of the graclunting class of l93l. They will not he forgotten.

Senior Play One of the milestones of the class of '52, as of every other graduating class, was the senior play, Just Cut of College, a rollicking comedy by George Ade, Indiana's own humorist. The play depicts a young man, Ed- ward Xvorthington Swinger, who bor- rows a large sum of money from Sep- timus Pickering. manager of a pickle factory. The condition upon which the loan is made is that Swinger will not go with Caroline Pickering, daughter of Septimus, for three months. Many are the mix-ups and upicklenientsu, but the play ends well as all good plays should. and everyone lives happily ever after. The leading role in the play, that of Edward Worthington Swinger, was car- ried by Everett Scott, while Mary Helen Geyer was the leading lady, as Caroline Pickering. Her father, the manager of the pickle factory, was portrayed by Ed- win Meisner. Slivers Mason, who is an eccentric Page 75 old man. was played by Woodx ' Schlatter. Milton Johnson was a double role man. The part of the handsome col- legian, -lack Lindsay, just fitted him. He was also a good ticket seller. But the members of the cast were not all boys. Here's Floy Edna Frank as the old maid school teacher. We won- der whether the part was made to order for her! Edward Spitler's size surely made him an ideal office boy, Rufus. Ot course, his acting was splendid, too. Do you suppose Dick Stauffer will ever be a train conductor? He cer- tainly knows his All Aboard! But we must not forget Frances Hath- away as Luella Pickering, the wife or the pickle manufacturer. And can't you just see Herb Thinnes asking people to take out insurance with him?

Art Club Very worthwhile to all those interested in art is the Art Club, which takes a very active part in North Side activities. Nlembers of the club held their first meeting October 16, at which time Mar- garet Lepper was elected president, lxiaurice Weiiiier, vice-president, Doro- thea Bayer, secretaryg and Hugh Fawley, treasurer. Miss Gertrude Zoolc and Miss Bernice Sinclair, art teachers, are advis- ers of the club. Evelyn Martin was chosen head of the program committee, assisted by I-lildegarde -Iaehn, Velma Brendel, and Bill Ballou. Cn October 13, a party was held in the apartment, which was attend- ed by about twenty-five people. An art exhibit for eighth grade pupils of Frank- lin and Forest Park schools was prepared with Katherine Malcolm as head of the craft class. Woody Schlatter, Kenny Blair, Anna C. Dell, and Don Komis- arow made up the social committee. Because of the great interest in soap sculpture, all students were invited to AE Q, 09.-Aus enter a national soap sculpturing contest. The display of many of the figures en- tered in the national contest was shown in a trophy case here for some time. Big preparations were made for the Bubble Dance held November 20. Pastel shades of balloon, lattice worl-1, flowers and crepe paper, with a central decora- tive effect were the original and lovely decorations. Miss Zoolc thought it one of the prettiest dances ever given. The new officers elected in January were president, Woody Schlatterg vice- president, Hildegarde Jaehng secretary, Hugh Fawleyg and treasurer, Betty Barth. Beautiful worlc done by the art classes has been on display in the study hall and the high school held an open-house night at the Woma11's Club to display the best work. Another social affair was held March ZZ, in Room 312 and an exhibit was opened to eighth graders in March. Page 76
