ACTIVITIES The Junior-Senior banquet was held May 5th, with “Spring” as the theme. The P. T. A. served a delicious meal. The banquet was formal. A number of musical numbers were presented. The Founders Day program was given at the February P. T. A. meeting by the Sophomore Class, directed by Miss Moore. A musical program was given at the December P. T. A. meeting by the Boys’ and Girls’ Glee Clubs, directed by Mr. Bob Wood. The girls wore formals, adding much beauty to the program. Parties consisting of hayrides, roller-skating, and ice-skating were enjoyed by most of the classes at various times during the year. March 25th, the annual music meet was held at Center School with all schools of Ralls County participating. The talent of Ralls County was exhibited very well March 3rd. The Junior Class presented a play sponsored by Miss Baker entitled, “A Ready Made Family. A farce comedy in three acts by Jay Tobias. Here is a brief outline of the play: Agnes Martin, (Ada Wilson) while vacationing, meets an old sweetheart, Henry Turner, (Raymond Bontz) a widower, and they became engaged. Neither tells the other about the children at home. The youngsters plan to upset the matrimonial apple-cart by acting their worst. Bob, (Ernest Lewellen) has fits, Marilee (Jean Calhoun) talks baby talk, Gracie, (Florence Smith) is a holy terror, Sammy (Bobby A. Palmer) becomes a kleptomaniac, and Doris, (Juanita Burroughs) having had an operation will harp on that. Begonia, (Darlene Allen) and Nicodemus, (Donald Huse) add to the mixed up affair. After almost two hours of side-splitting laughter, the “kids are ready to accept their new parents. The play was a success, thanks to Miss Baker. April 7th, the Senior Class presented a play sponsored by Mr. Wilson entitled, Just Ducky. An amusing comedy in three acts by Donald Payton. Here is a very brief outline of the play: The Maxwells were an ordinary family. Mr. Maxwell was about to become head of the citizens committee until Betty Lou, their teenage daughter wrote a letter to a love-lorn column telling of an imaginary love affair. Instead of print- ing the letter, the editor comes to pay a visit to the Maxwells concerning their daughter. Betty Lou mistakes him for a marshall and she pretends to be insane. This almost causes Mr. Maxwell to lose his job as head of the Citizens committee. But everything turns out fine. With co-operation from both the Senior Class and Mr. Wilson, the play was a huge success. The grade school presented an operetta entitled “In Fairyland.” There were ninety-eight participants, with the grade school teachers supervising. The seventh and eighth grade girls are studying ballet during the recess per- iods and presented a nice program for the March P. T. A. meeting. 25
