U55 jnnsm flfwffyn iS l'nner 1uining y On the evenings of November 9 and lO, the junior class presented The inner Willy. Danny Brady, pictured at the bottom of the page, portrayed Inner Willy hilariously. Phil Crabtree, as Willoughby, was coddled too much by his three old maid aunts: Louise, Hester, and Olga, who were played by Karla Harris, Charlotte Downard, and Nancy Smith respectively. Stanley, played by Gerald Soper, became a bit perturbed when he thought that Willy was trying to steal his girl. Mike, portrayed by Bruce Calbreath, was called on to act as a mediator. The aunts chose a quiet girl named Marybelle, played by June Duckett, as the ideal girl to go with their Willy to the Senior Prom. A set of twins, Trudy and Janet, played by Charlotte Warner and Myrna Detrick, heard that Willy didn't have a girl to go with and volunteered to go with him. When Carol, played by Pat Irish, accepted Willy's invitation to the dance, all problems were solved. irii f,f,..x,if5j!'2gf - ' f . .,.- W' 'f'isQ,,1fi f, ' f' A 113zf'rZm,q1i,, 1 i, 1 - f, fi'f1+s-VL:iffy:1 .

Then it happened! Everything went wrong- the steering wheel twisted out of my hand, the accelerator went down and down, and the speedometer went up and up. When the truck pulled to a stop outside a farm house, I staggered out and ran to the house. No one answered when I knocked, so I walked in the open door. In the living room, I saw an odd-looking television set and when I walked over to it, I found it was a new brand named Futurscopic TV. One of the buttons I punched said, Ten Years , and another said, Class of '54 . The picture came in clear, but when l saw it focus on a superintendent's office, I was ready to jump out of my chair to change the controls. Before I could move, I recognized the superintendent as Vollie Sanders. He looked at least ten years older than he had when I had seen him just that evening. He no longer had his butch haircut. II guessed that he wanted to look more executive.l As my eye traveled to the other side of the screen, I realized that his secre- tary was none other than Deanna Smith.
