'The Senate was responsible I’m planning: graduation exercises, the senior picnie and was in charge of the play. ()ne of the high-lights of onr last, most spirited year was the annual mid-year dance, this year railed the ‘‘-Mid-Year Mop-Up, which was jived and jumped t« the close har- monies of “Conroy's Corn Cats.' An all-school election named as onr king and queen of the evening “Johnny the Janitor Hall and “Maxie the Maid Sutherland. Funds for the senior picnic, the most enjoyable climax to a senior week crowded with various activi- ties, were provided by the class play. Out of tin Frying Fun. 'This comedy was the lively story of three boys and three girls who, for finan- cial reasons, decided to share one apartment. The six were hopeful young actors and actresses, stuggl- ing for recognition. The bewilder- ment of their landlady, who was never sure whether they were just talking or quoting from a play, added to the general merriment. ’haracters were portrayed by these members of the senior class: Bruce Weiser. Bill Ritts, Ruth Fitz. John Bmilliard. Alice Miller, Shirley Clark, Marilyn Forsyth, Mary Lou Dahl, Jack lliland. Henry Clark, Virgil Xewhouse, Elmer Lange. Advertising and production crews for Out of the Frying Fan deserved the class' thanks for the hard jobs they successfully per- formed. The success of this year's ath- letic teams has been due largely to the excellent playing and sports- manship of senior members. Out- standing in football was the work of such senior hoys as Fritz Black, Joe Bush, Earl Rhoades. John Brouhard, Bill Bates, Don Dixson, Bob Kchory, Fred Ooslin, John F. Hall, Jim Morris, Ozzic Langlnnd, Bob W essel. John S. Hall and Kenny Qnaife. Senior members of the varsity basketball squad included John Brouhard, Owen Shadle, Bill Bates. Jim Morris, Kenny Qnaife, Fred (foslin and John F. Hall. Jim Morris and Kenny Mayo went out for tennis, while tracksters were Fritz Black, Bob Sehory. Fred Ooslin. Kenny Qnaife, John Brou- hard and T. M. Moore. As the war progressed, more and more seniors received “greetings’ from their draft boards, or enlisted in some branch of the armed forces. The Air Corps reserve was one of these favored by many boys. The Army-Xavy qualifying test for A-12 and V-.12 college programs also interested many. Some for- nici members of the class departed for service at the end of our junior yea r. As our last year came to a close, we looked soberly forward to the winning of the peace, and prepared to take our place in the better world to come. Page 9
