As the curtain rises, we see the household bustling about, all excited that Old Doc hasn’t returned from a call and may miss his train. Old Doc is supposed to be off to see Bob graduate, and is mighty proud that his son will be coming back to take over his practice. But Old Doc doesn’t get to see Bob graduate. He has an emergency case. There is only one complication, and only Margaret Burns knows this. Bob does not intend on coming back because Dr. Brand has coaxed him into practising in Boston. On his way for his holiday with Dr. Brand, Bob calls in at home to tell his father of his plans, but as usual, his father is out on a call. Bob writes a note to his father. Margaret breaks her engagement with Bob because of his decision. Old Doc comes home and receives the note, but the shock is too much, and he has a heart attack. The whole community is interested in Old Doc’s welfare, but he is sinking fast. Then “Auntie” substitutes the telegram that Bob has sent Old Doc. It has wonderful results in that it revives Old Doc until he sees Bob. Old Doc dies in Bob’s arms. But the telegram has bad results, for Bob knows he never wrote the telegram, and he feels someone has pushed him into a deathbed promise. Bob comes back to settle the will, and he finds the truth about the telegram, and about the wonderful person his Dad really was. He decides to be the next Doc Hillary of Mason County, which means he has Margaret too. The story ends on a happy note, with Bob bustling out on a case—a replica of “Old Doc.” There was a lot of work and tension for those participating in the play. But a great deal of credit is due to Mrs. Drake, for making us work, and making us characters when we didn’t know what was what. Fred Link, as a representative of the cast, presented Mrs. Drake with a pin and earrings, as a token for our appreciation of what she has done for us. Perhaps too often those in the play receive all the glory, while we forget the “behind- the-stage-men” who do all the “dirty-work.” Honor goes to them, too. Thus closed the drama careers of the Broadview High School students for 1961,

EDUCATION DAY Thursday, March 9th, turned out an even larger than usual representation of parents interested in the education of future generations as they came to inspect the building, students at work, student’s work and some school equipment. For entertainment, basket¬ ball and badminton were played on the gym floor, while films were shown for those interested. Grade 7 and 8’s served tea. The proceeds go to the Red Cross. MARCH 24 HIGH SCHOOL PARTY About Tuesday, of the week March 20-26, someone said “let’s have a party!” Wednes¬ day it was mentioned at a special Literary meeting, and on Friday evening of the 24th, students of B.H.S. “swung” into their fi rst party of 1961. Responsible for the activities of the evening were Grade 9B students, who had their first try at “running” a party. Another new M.C. appeared, as Billy Anderson made his debut. The evening was passed in dancing daintily or not so daintily until “Home Sweet Home.” Graduation Back row: Donald Rask, Fred Link, Leo Ledohowski, Ben Ledohowski, Curt Anderson, Barry Bruce.
