With your kind permission, I Nila Moe Davis, dramatic critic of the “Mountaineer,” will review the play called The.Class of 1953, in an absolutely unbiased manner. This is a play in four acts. The play was written by thecactors as they played their roles, under the direction of Mr. Thomas, the principal, and faculty. It is produced by the board of education with the cooperation of the tax payers. As all appear at the same time I shall give their names in alphabetical order. They are Jeah Atwell, Oma Cox, Nila Moe Davis, Lpuise Fortner, Ruth Fields, Ada Mae Hubble, Dora Ann Lindamood, Bobby Harmon, Stafford Shewey, Bllis Shupe, Doyle Shupe, John Thompson, Charles Terlow, and Dewey Umbarger. This play belongs to no particular classification. The scenes all take place in the high school building, in class rooms, auditorium and gymmasium. Act 1 shows the arrival of the class in the hall of learning. The actors are now known as Freshmen. At the close of the act, tragedy seems imminent. The curtain of the first act falls on the rejoicing Freshmen, who are not wholly free from a feeling that the worst is yet to come, After an intermission of twelve weeks, while the actors go away on vacations or stay at home, the play is resumed. Act 11 shows the same people in the same place, but they are now known as Sopomores, In this act themmembers seem to have achieved a charn. Insipient love affairs are noticed, and the costums areemuch more elaborate, as is also the make-up used. The action continues to rise until the end of the act, when we have the struggle brought about by examenations. Again, the class wins. Another twelve weeks' intermission and we stagger in for Act 111. Again we have about the same people in the same places. The actors are so changed that each act seemes like an entirely new play. They are now called Juniors. Their position and their pride have both advanced and love affairs are more noticeable this year than ever before. There are many delightful interludes to make this a cheerful act. By thistime, some of the actors have become more prominent and theér parts have assumed a more mature form. Thsy starred in the play A Poor Married Man and had leading roles in the Jumior and Senior Banquet. Bther unexpected things have happened. Many who came on in the first act left the cast, We miss them, but realize that they are difficult to recongnize. It seems as if some of the insipient love affairs have become very great by this time. Even Study, seems less formidable. The actors is more rapid than in the preceding acts. There is more comedy than before. The actors participate in the Senior Play Sittin' Pretty , movies, parties, and banquet and a historical trip to Charlottesville. The actors who showed promise of becoming stars in the preceding acts have fulfilled that promise. They are as follows; Dora Ann Lindamood, valedictorian, “da Mae Hubble, salutatorian, Nila Moe Davis, historian, Jean Atwell, giftorian, Oma Cox, author of the propecy, and Louise Fortner, will. Many hearts are weak with anxiety as the act nears its close. Faces drawn with worry, are noticed. This is the final stuggle. At last the fatal hour arrives, and the Final Examination rears his sinister head. The attack of the Seniors is brave and well organized. They have finished Study, the strenous preparation for battle, which has made our cast. The play ends in a burst of glory, with flowers,music, and congratulations in short, graducation exercises. We have the well known and ever popular happy ending. PRODUECY As I sit here tonight I am thinking of the many cities I will get to visit when I go to see my classmates of the graduating class of 1953. I gaze out the window wondering how they have progressed. After ten years I am at last going to visit my old classmates and friends. First, I will visit Nashville, Tennessee to see The Grand Ole Opery%Wait, just look at those two television stars! They are Dewey Umbarger and Ellis Shupe, our two hill billy comedians from Ceres High School. Now I will get on the Greyhound Bus, which is run by atomic power, to go to Bluefield to see the famous surgical nurse, who is no one but Nila Moe Davis. I know she will be waiting for me at the bus station because the bus driver is Curt Stowers, our @ur old school bus driver from Ceres, My next stop will be at Wytheville to see Mrs. Robert Wright, She is the former Louise Fortner. Her new home is a little white cottage filled with love and their children. I will next wisf$t the new high school which has been built at Nebo, Virginia. I see a new gymnasium and a new physical education teacher. She is Miss Ada Mae Hubble. Next I will visit the two secretaries in Washington, D.C. They are Miss Jean Atwell and Miss Dora Ann Lindamood, I think Jean is pondering whether or not to move back to Bland County where she will become Mrs, G.R.Repass, Jr. That naval officer in the door must be Donny Ray Muncy! At last I am going to see the movie stars of the year They are that hot tempered boy from Ceres, Doyle Shupe, an that flirty woman's man, Robert Harmon. they are now plan- ning to make a jounary to Mars on the new super rocket, which will be flown by that handsome pilot,Charles Terlow, I will now take a train back to Washington, D.6.There I will see the boy who used to worry about getting his diploma. He is now owner of the John Thompson Department Store, At last Iwill return home where I will see Ruth Fields, She is still planning a wedding but she can't make up her mind which she will choose, Vaden Miller or Otis Houndshell. Now I will get in my car and visit that good natured man Stafford Shewey. He is married and running his father's farm. Let's see what happened to Oma Cox. Oh, I forgot she is the one who made the trip! Wink We the Senior Class of nineteen hundred fifty three being of unsound minds and of a disposing disposition do here by and here upon will and bequeath all of our unworthy possessions, Toecour dear old school of Ceres High we leave all the broken windows, scarred desks, and all our scraps of nabs, sandwiches, and candy left from our daily snack in the library. To the Junior Class we will our ability to disagree with the teachers,and all our excuses hoping they can use them to better advantage. To the Sophomore Class we bequeath our lack of patience and our ability to make friends easily. To the Freshmen we leave the long and rocky road we had to travel in order to become Seniors, To the Principal we bequeath a sense of relief that we have at last graduated, We also leave him pleasant memories of our four years together, To the Faculty we leave our sincere thanks for all they have done for us as well as our ability to stand in the hall and gossip. As indivaduals we will the following Louise Fortner wills her ability to a with the principal to Dare Neel, Jean Atwell wills her basketball ability and her love for sailors (all except one) to Shirley Groseclose. Ada Mae Hubble leaves her rough ways and ability to flirt with the boys to Sue Lindamood, Doyle Shupe wills his love for school and his temper to Harry Dillman, Robert Harmon bequeaths his way with the woman and his good looks to Archie Atwell.

Ruth Fields gives her love for back seats as well as her daily ride on the Pet milk truck to Janice Lindamood,. Charles Terlow wills his concieted ways to Arnold Compton. Oma Cox bequeaths her love for Paul Barger to Nancy Creggar hoping she can cultivate it more fully. John Thompson wills his mischievous ways to Johnny Clemons, hoping he can get by with as many things as John, Witness here by we fix our signatures this twenty-eighth day of May in the year nineteen hundred fifty-three, Signed: Yt oss telat Mfr poker Jhorpooon Witnesses: Pg? xe oa, 2 oe . ot $3 Fo 4 + av? oy Fg RES YOUTH TO BE Je {MEMBER VPI LIVESTOC |JUDGING TEAM, CHICAG RNteg, | CERES JUNIOR 4-H” rr qT i.) ° ) 0 | I LA ; in Pi : il i il S Ponsa Mise FAYE.
