SENIUB Real hep-cats themselves, these Seniors were chief dance promoters all year. The dances not only made their bank account fatter, but provided lots of fun. Among Seniors who helped make these dances possible were Anne Bailey, Jo Brown, Peggy Seybert, Dick Cartwright, Bill Stewart, and Frank Jones. ' In November the Seniors were measured for their costumes for the Grand Finale, caps and gowns-dark blue with white silk tassels that can be added to other reminders of Circus days. One of the biggest pre-Christmas events was the arrival of Senior rings in December-lovely rings-plain gold, onyx or pearl. Of course, they created quite a sensation. It wasn't long until several, Senior boys had given theirs to their steadies, and that accounts for the heavy rings weighing down the fragile hands of some slick chick. Still trying to pad their treasury, the Seniors presented the play Rip Van XVinkle given by some professionals. Some say we have better talent here in A. H. S. VVho knows? Time will tell though, because it was right after Christmas that the dramatics class began work on the Senior play- Miss Hieatt directed the group in Come Rain or Shine, the three-act comedy, presented to an audience of 900 people January 18 at 8 p. m. in the gym. The play was a huge success, and added over 515250 to the class treasury. We didn't know the Class of '46 was so talented. The really star-spangled event of the year was the all-school Spring Prom sponsored by the Seniors on March 23 in the gym. It was quite a gala affair with an orchestra to furnish the super-special dance music. Though their days were chuck full of extra activities, the Seniors found time to plan a Senior trip to Chicago, a slightly solid class day program, and a grand Senior banquet. But the day approaches, the day all have looked forward to, some joyfully, others with a few tears. This is the final show, 'I the last performance, the culmination of four years of study, Ifun, ' and hard knocks. But it was wonderful-every minute of it. f 0 The commencement audience is hushed, each graduate is his throat, the silence is filled with many thoughts. This is it.
