THEMEGUNTICOOK 9 ward to the future when we would be seniors. Then-graduation-and at last we were officially seniors. Our first act was to take care of the freshmen, which we did ably. Then we had our pictures taken, Just one more step in the life of a senior. We all had a wonderful time in the senior play, t'Seventeenth Summer . It started many new fr'ie'n'dships- and renewed old ones. We won't for- get it very soon. Next was the Christmas Ball, and ShoWboat rehearsals started. The success of Showboat seemed to unite us a little more. And now, when we are nearing the time of graduation, it brings a lump in my throat to think of the fun w'e've had as a class. Itts time to say good- bye to the wonderful times of the past, and say hello to the future. So I wish every one of you all the luck in the world in your future life. May you find happiness and success somewhere in your future life-and may we all meet again some day. Yours for memories, Ruthie, '50 SENIORS THESPIANS The Senior Class of nineteen-fifty Presented a play that was mighty nifty. SEVENTEENTH SUMMER was the name Of the play presented at Camden, Maine. A comedy-drama, this work was classed: And the cast of characters was unsurpassed. The title role of t'Angie was played By Nancy Brewster, a fair young maid. t'Jack, Lindon Christie, was Angie's beau, And Ruth Littlefield excelled as Hlvlrs. Morrow. The part in which the mcst patience was had, Was Charles Dudley, the poor suffering' nDad.u Mary Connelly played 'iMargaret, Ang-ie's sister, Engaged to Ari, Gil Laite was this mister. Another sister, t'Lorraine, chased after meng Betty Thurston was she-just right for her -then! f'Martin, by Jenness Keller, was Lorraine's hope, But she knew not how with him to cope. A menace named 'tJane Nona Talbot did plays She tried to steal Angie's Jack away. Joan Salisbury played 'tMargie. another friend, And t'Fitz , by Dirk Brown. was her ser- vant no end. .lane's boy-f1'iend Tony, Wimp Burnham played, However, at Angie a few passes he made. And last, but not least, was little sister Kitty, With bike and hammer and paper dolls pretty. Yours truly filled this part with plenty of zest, It just came natural to be such a pest! -Celie Talbot, 50 TOMORROW FOR US W'e, Seniors of 1950, are abenf. fu leave high school. We have completed twelve grades of educational learning. We have become acquainted with many students in various schools, in outside activities such as sports, mu- sic festivals, club conferences, church groups, and others. We have stren- gthened our minds in the knowledge of worldwide, statewide, and sur- rounding conditions. We have come to school each day and gone home each night without giving thought to the fact that we are the future citi- zens of the United States. In the past four years, we have shared in victory and defeat, we have become well-known to the teachersg we have tried to help in any way we co.1ldg and we are sorry, in a way, that it is almost over. The doors are closing slowly behind us. We are now young men and women in the world of tomorrow. Most of us will start working as soon as we have left high school, but
