Others who helped make this play a success were Sheila Harding, and Alba Pasteris, student directors; Edward Aylmer, scenery; Glynn Comp- ton, properties; Carol Young, advertising; and Norma Philbrick, Ruth Remick, tickets. The play takes place in the Clover home in Preston, a small suburban town. It centers around Susan Blake, who tries her best to help Johnny. To Johnny she isn’t at all very helpful and she is always getting in his way. When Johnny becomes edi- tor of the school paper, he never dreamed he would have to put up with Susan and Betsy. To top it all off, Johnny came down with the measles, and Susan, being the help- ful type, did her best to put out the school paper. To Johnnv ' s dismay Susan made a few slight changes of her own. These changes got Johnny and Susan in much trouble with their friends and teachers, but in the end everything turns out the best for everyone.

Mother s Prayer ’ CAST John Oakhurst Ophelia Oakhurst John Oakhurst, Jr. Calvin Oakhurst Clara Oakhurst J uDSON Harper Mary Barnett Thomas Baker SANTA CLAUS James Young Irene Rovatti Bernard Burns Emiliano Gavazza Carolyn Jenkins Edward Harris Lorraine Bachand Donald Long O N December 19, 1946, the Christmas play, A Mother’s Prayer written by Elorence Byron and directed by Miss Burns, was presented. The stage managers, Alfred MacNally and Elwood Benson, did much to make the play a success. The plot centered around John Oakhurst, Jr., a handsome sailor boy who was overseas. Clara and Calvin, his teen-aged brother and sister, often got into quite true-to-life arguments. On Christmas Eve, a kindly old neighbor, Jud Harper, came over to ask about John and to leave some gifts. While Mr. and Mrs. Oakkhurst went Christmas shopping, Tom came over to have Calvin help him with his Trig, while Mary and Clara eagerly discussed a cute sailor who was the tall, dark, and Dunbury type.” Early Christmas morning, John sneaks into the house, falls asleep and is discov- eted first by Clara and Calvin, next by his father, and finally, at the climax, by the happy mother who falls into her son’s arms.

Athletic Association E arly in the fail, we elected our Athletic Association officers, and those chosen to lead us were: Kenneth Jenkins, President; Glynn Compton, Vice President; and Sheila Harding, Secretary and Treasurer. Season tickets to all home games were printed by our own print shop and sold to the pupils. The grammar school pupils were allowed to buy a ticket this year. Under the leadership of Mr. John Gray a group of boys and girls sold refresh- ments. A booth for selling admission tickets was constructed by Bernard Burns and Charles Thamalis. Other things sold by this group were purple and white feathers, and programs, which included a list of the players from each team, their weight, age, and number. The idea of refreshments was carried over into basketball season and coke, pop corn, potato chips, and peanuts were sold in the check room during the halves of the games. We appreciated the fact that these pupils and Mr. Gray so willingly sacrificed their time to help make this new business venture a success. They worked diligently and were able to see only parts of many of the games. Plans are now being prepared for the annual Athletic Banquet which will be held in the high school cafeteria on May 22. The dinner will be planned and served by Mrs. Viik and her home economics depanment. Two pupils from each class have been chosen to speak at the affair. We are hoping it will be as successful as in previous years. As this yearbook goes to press, raffle tickets are being sold for an Electric Leonard Refrigerator, R. C. A. Table Radio, and a Philco Table Radio. The drawing will be held on May 29.
