Ibs Senior Class Play was given Hay 1, 1945. Cast Aunt Polly- ------- Ruth Batson ------- Mary Jane -------- Fred Raymond ------- Melba ’•'hits ------- Clara Woppinger ------ Amy Woppinger ------- Huckleberry Finn ------ John Finn -------- Tom Sawyer- ------- Lois Weber - Betty Olsen Betty Mann -Eugene Geilenfeld LaVonne Griese - Evelyn Meyer - Clarice Riebhoff -William Boettcher - Charles Officer -John Riebhoff Huckleberry Finn’s pa was a drunkard, and one day he was found in the river, drowned 1 The Watson sisters, Mariah and Ruth, paid the funeral expenses and took poor Huck into their home to make a man of him. But his boyish pranks, such as bringing mice into the church, almost broke down nervous Aunt Polly's patience,and she threatened to send him away, vrhen suddenly Pa Finn appeared, ns alive and ornery as ever. Some other man had been given a decent burial by the generous Watsons, and Ruck's life is again p. round of thrashings, and tongue lashings. Tom Sawyer, Huck's best pal, does all he can to protect him (and, incidently, to aid him in his pranks.) Meanwhile Folly Watson and neighbor Clara Woppinger fight for the at- tentions of the local preacher, while Fred Raymond employs various un- usual ways to induce i;he young and attractive Ruth Watson to share his name. True to form, nothing seems to turn out right for people in any way associated with Huck. But after a year elapses (in which Huck has disappeared leaving only fond memories for his friend) great changes have taken place. Under Aunt Polly's influence John Finn has completely reformed, nd, strangely enough, Polly is perfectly willing to give up the preacher to Clara Woppinger. Tom Sawyer has grown up and is in business with his Dad. But best of all, Huck suddenly reappears, seemingly very prosperous, and ready to settle down with his childhood sweetheart, Mary Jane. Tom Sawyer is quite content with pretty little Amy Woppinger, but poor Melba the colored Maid, never does get a chance to have her voice trained, and she'll probably have to continue through life carrying her rabbit's foot to ward off dem evil spirits. The play was attended by a large crowd and was a great success. The cast was usurlly all present at the night rehearsals, but one night a. show held more interest then wearily saying the wrong lines and coming in an hour late for the cues a.fter everyone had yelled out their lungs hunting for us. One main attraction was the food Miss Baers brought us to eat, pop- corn, doughnuts, and apples. One night the girls became generous and served the boys hamburgers at Grieses. A few interesting romances sprang up after practices, too. There was much interest as to who was goin ■ to get the front seat or the back seat of a certain black Ford. Director -Miss Bears

JUNIOR AITB SENIOR BAUQ T On Friday evening, May 4, 194E, the juniors entertained the seniors at the annual Junior and Senior Banquet, in the high school gymnasium. The theme of the 'banquet was a • Lucky Garden, The senior's colors were purple and white, so the main scheme was worked oat with these two colors, with a few touches of pink, yellow, and green. The entrance to the gymnasium was ’gi,rer. a ''garden effect by the use of a white picket fence and gate, trimmed with colorful ivy and flowers. a wishing well stood in the middle of the floor, and was also adorned with flowers. Horse shoes were placed over the doors, and also arranged on the tables for center pieces. Purple and white streamers were brought up and attached to a large gold star extending from the ceiling. The senior motto, Build for character, not for fame, was written on the bank boards, which were brightened up with flowers of pastel shades. Many of the townspeople were there to watch the juniors and seniors march in. We marched in single file, with the seniors first. The girls in their formals of pa3tel shades blended nicely with the garden scene. Light blue was the predominant color of the formals. Ten waiters and waitresses, dressed as gardeners, with the boys in overalls, white shirts, and straw hats, and the girls in purple skirts, white blouses, and sunbonnets, were Beverly Ditswortb, Jane Keith, Helen Graham, Shirley Lockwood, Gwen Mann, Kay Holding, Jack McMullen, Eugene Meyer, Lester Steward, and James Garman.

We used the sound system from the movie projector, and this enabled us to hear the music well. It also furnished an apportuhity for certain people, namely Dale Lockwood, Gerald Riedel, . ames Fredrickson, and Charles Officer to make some interesting remarks tha.t furnished additional entertainment during the evening.
