School Carnival More than three hundred people enjoyed the annual school carnival which was held in the school gymnasium on October 28, 1949. The entertainment was provided by the bingo stand, novelty booth, fish pond, penny pitching arcade, and the cake walk. Additional features were the presentation of the one act play, Ghosts on Guard , which was complemented by musical numbers by the band, and the wrestling and boxing matches which were held in the kindergarten room. The food stand was decorated in the form of a circus tent called The Big Top Canteen . Tickets were sold for a Westinghouse portable radio and the usual turkey and door prizes were awarded. The money in which received from the carnival was used to purchase the new basket- ball suits. Senior Class Play The Seniors of '49-'50 presented a three act comedy play, The Inner Willy . The cast consisted of eleven characters, four men and seven women. The play takes place in early spring in the Adams home. The main character, Willoughby Adams, is a well be- haved boy of sixteen who has been given a beautiful and sheltered life by his three maiden aunts, Hester sixty-three, Louise sixty-one, and Olga fifty-nine. Inner Willy, Willoughby's mischievous inner self, visible to Willoughby only, proved that your conscience can be your guide. Two of Willoughby's friends, a sixteen year old toughie named Stanley and a bashful fellow named Mike, gave Willoughby a slight going over for trying to steal Stanley's girl. Complications arose for Willy with the appearance of Trudy and Janet, eager twins, who both wanted Willy for an escort, and when Marybelle is chosen as the girl of his dreams by his aunts Willy is in quite a dilemna. Members of the class not included in the cast of characters were kept especially busy with properties, publicity, and other committees which are vital to making the show go on . Skip - Day Omaha opened wide its portals on April 14, as the diploma minded Bagleyites invaded the fair city. The Ice-Capades, Brandeis Store, Boys' Town, and Peony Park were included on the inspection tour. May Day Eldon Huston and Jean Myers reigned supreme on the last day of school. The grades and high school co-operated in presenting the annual May Day program. Awards for scholarship and athletic participation were made at that time. Z7
