The Valiant Breaking the usual custom of presenting one lengthy play, the Senior Class this year sponsored three short presentations. The Valiant, The Winner, and There's Always Tomorrow were presented in the Town Hall on February IG. The Valiant, a stirring drama of a condemned prisoner, was by far the outstanding play. David Thurston, as the valiant, self-sacrificing hero, and Graham Croy, as the uncer- tain warden, turned in fine performances which even brought a few tears from the moved audience. Anne Rowse, with the only feminine part in the play, and Oscar Wilbur, Harlan Webster, and Donald Libby added background and plot to the presentation. George Pegg, Constance Brink. Nancy Ring.

His sister, Marion, a college student, was both a help and a hindrance in clearing up the trouble. Comedy was furnished by Billy, one of Tommy's high school friends, Whose unusual manner of eating cup-cakes convulsed the audience. The cast was as follows: Tommy Tuttle ..... Marion Tuttle ....
