MOTHER AND DAUGHTER BANQUET Nearly 2.00 guests were entertained at the annual Mother and Daughter Banquet held October 26, 1949. After a delicious meal was served, Mrs. Esther Davis welcomed the guests. .Tean Carper offered a toast to the Mothers, and Verda Borchers gave the response to the Daughters. The speaker, Mrs. Phylis Griefe, a graduate of Ohio Wesleyan, gave a very interesting talk about her work in various countries of Europe. The girls' sextet furnished a few novelty songs for the program, and Joyce Nolting and Gloria Powers pleased the audience with their xylophone music. HAMLET Drawn by the attraction of the movie version of Shakespeare's tragedy, Hamlet, twenty-three Ashley High students traveled to Columbus' World Theatre February 16th. Tickets were secured at special rates for the students and a school bus was taken so that any one desiring might go. After a slight discussion considering tickets and ticket numbers the students arrived safely. Supplied with crunch bars, chocolate bars and carrnel bars for the two and one-half hour production by Lawrence Olivier, the students took their previously agreed upon seats and proceeded to pass the one picture program QMiss Toby'sj among them. Everyone was familiar with the story and had no trouble in understanding the wonderful performance of Olivier as Hamlet and .Tean Simmons as Ophelia. After an incredibly short two and one-half hours of brilliant acting and magnificent scenery, the students left the theatre feeling that that fellow Shakespeare really deserves all the tributes he has received in the last 350 years. RABBIT SUPPER I, an Ashley Senior, do hereby solemnly swear that the meat served at the Senior Rabbit Supper, held November ZZnd, was genuine rabbit. Maybe that doesn't sound very important, but it meant a great deal to the Senior boys who bagged at least ten of the swift-footed animals. After a meal of mashed potatoes, dressing, gravy, salad, apple pie and ice cream and coffee, prepared by Mrs. Biggs and the Senior girls, was served to the members of the Faculty, their wives and husbands, and members of the Senior Class, a program of toasts and songs was enjoyed. The date of the rabbit supper was also Mrs. Warner's birthday. She was very much surprised when the cooks in the lunchroom presented her with a delicious birthday cake. 35

In this contest they were beaten in the semi-finals, after beating Bellpoint and Powell in the first two rounds Though the Aces had not practiced as frequently as many other teams and had no systematic offense, they held their own before going down to Radnor, 2.-l. Members of the team were as follows: J'. Roth Boring P. Roth Bartlett Riley Hershey Davis Murray BUS DRIVERS Much to the consternation and chagrin of the rural students, the school board has afflicted our fleet of five buses with governors limiting them to a mere 32. m.p.h. This, coupled with one of the messiest winters in recent Ohio history, slowed our faithful GMC's to a mere crawl and increased the torrent of student criticism which was heaped upon the defenseless drivers. However, the chauffeurs have taken it well and continue to give good performances in spite of their afflictions. Headed by Bus Manager .Tess Bennett, Ashley has managed to keep a good crew of drivers on hand in spite of several resignations. They are as follows: Carl Duerr, Charles Lee, William Cramer, William Meyers and .Tess Bennett. 37
