Bobby Sox, a comedy written by Donald Payton, is a play dealing with a fourteen year old girl, who has a crush on her sister's boy friend, Norton. During the course of the play, Bobby Sox plots a plan to take Norton, who was entering military school the next day, away from her sister, Margie.

W N , so l 1' ' 5 il' o-X J Uflctiuitieg Do you remember the big pink heart at the Valentine Dance? Or, when Rev- erend Bob Richards came and gave us a talk on his adventures as an Olympic Pole Vault Champion? Of course, you have not forgotten the hilarious senior play Tiger House ! How about the ex- change assembly with Selma? Then, do you remember the Mardi Gras Dance in which the classes competed against each other to raise the most money, and cer- tainly you can not forget the Senior Dress-up Day l These were only a few of the many activities that were held this past year and I know you will agree with Mr. Link and me when we say that activities are what makes Central High so much fun. There's Mr. Link now, looking through the telescope, hoping to find more stu- dents to join in on the fun. sees students Qiiiogiiig tli iiigell QS

TIGER HOUSE lf you were a poor young girl and sud- denly found yourself in possession of a love- ly country estate, but by the terms of the will you were obliged to live in it constantly for a period of one year, you wouldn't hes- itate to do so, would you? But on the other hand, if you were told that the house was haunted by your deceased aunt and that a phantom tiger appeared at midnight in order to regain possession of a mysterious collar of jewels which had been stolen from its neck years before, what would you do then? That was the situation that confronted Erma Lowrie, heroine of the great mystery thriller, TIGER HOUSE, which was pre- sented by the Senior Class. Just what was behind all the strange and weird happenings and how Erma manages to retain possession of her inheritance man- aged to make as exciting an evening in the auditorium as Central has ever experienced. The plot was well founded, the situations were breath-taking and there was a delight- ful thread of romance for those who enjoy the love element. Cast: Erma Lowrie ..... Yami ...,....,..,..
