In the class elections September. 11, Tom Ford was elected president, Bill Knittlos vice-president, and Joy Dickman secretary-treasurer. Their sponsor was Miss Stoutemyer. After their initiation at the first home football game September 22, the freshmen gave a return party for the sophomores October 18. During the year the freshmen together with the rest of the classes, took part in a defense savings program whereby each class tried to have at least 90 of the students purchasing at least one savings stamp each month. During the year Danny Hammond, Jeanne Lang, and Beverly Tapp left the class. Danny went to school in Alaska and Beverly Tapp went to New Mexico. A new student, Joan Karston, enrolled October 24. She had been attending school in Ozark, Alabama. In 1945 there were only 27 sophomores who enrolled at the beginning of the school year. Joan Karsten moved to Iowa, then to California, during the summer. Beverly Tapp returned from New Mexico the second semester. Ray Hornicklo moved to Pontiac (in the spring). The class officers elected were: Joy Dickman, president, Jim Trunk, vice-president, and Tom Ford, secretary-treasurer. This year, too, as a defense measure the school continued its defense stamps program. The Arbor Day play, Louis Pasteur , written and directed by Miss Plaster, was given by the biology class April 18. Each class member was also given a Chinese Elm to plant in his yard. In 1946 27 juniors onrollod. Donald Habcrkorn did not return but Danny Hammond came from Alaska and attended school here about six weeks. With Miss Plaster and Mrs. Davidson as sponsors the class elections wore held. Bob Hubly was elected president, Lauren Blair, vico-prosidcnt, Jim Trunk, secretary, and Dorothy Martin, treasurer. This year, since the close of the war, there was no drive made for the sale of defense stamps. In October the class rings were ordered from Wright and Street. The junior play, Where's My Baby? , directed by Miss Plaster, was given May 9. The profit from the play was record-breaking. During the year the juniors also sold hot dogs, pop, and candy at some of the basketball games to earn money for the junior-senior prom and banquet. The banquet and prom was supervised by Mrs. Davidson and had as its theme Hitch Your Wagon to a Star . An orchestra from Pontiac was hired to play. 1 In 1947 there was a serious drop in the roll. Bill Knittles, Dolie Mac Harding, and Mary Ann Habcrkorn did not return and Beverly Tapp went to California after the first six weeks. Jim Trunk and Francis Shambrook did not return the second semester and Arlene Shockcv transferred to Bloomington in January. Thu senior play, Her Incubator Husband, was coached by Mis3 Plaster and was given on November 21. • • I • . • The play cast and coach wore not without their troubles, however Mary Ann Kuntz became too ill to take hor part and Beverly Melvin had to take her place less than a week before the play, Ezra Abcrlc was also out of school v ith illness and returned just in time for the last few practices. Everyone was relieved when the final curtain came down without anyone’s fainting (unintentionally, that isl). Work on the Annual was begun in March. The seniors had their graduation pictures taken February 12 and they were received April 30. The commencement announcements were ordered through the Plain-dealer. The D. A. R. award was given to Beverly Melvin as a result of a class election. The class colors, flower, and motto wore chosen April 12. Colors: red and white; flower, red rose; motto, Out of the quibt harbor into the boundless sea .

The team looked fairly good at times and made some fine performances against some of the opponents, but still lacked consistent punch. As the season drev to a close, the squad seemed to pep up as usual. In the V. V. they defeated a strong Herscher team and then went on to defeat a stubborn Cullom team, but as they went into the V.

HER INCUBATOR HUSBAND SENIOR CLASS PLAY On November 21, the senior class presented the three act play Her Incubator Husband . The story concerned the romance of Felix Mudge (Bob Hubly) and Elaine Ellis (Jean McNutt) who had been betrothed before their birth by their respective families who met on their honeymoons at Niagara Falls. The fathers of the principals have already passed on to thoir reward but the mothers are determined to carry out the original scheme. Mrs. Ellis (Joy Dickman) was the prime mover in the conspiracy in spite of the objections of her daughter who remembered Felix eight years before as a bashful, gangling lad with freckles. Felix arrived not at all enthusiastic about his prospects as he had fallen in love with a picture of a cover girl, and was also extremely bashful. On the train he had met Roy Honeywell (Vendell Sanders) who accompanied him to the Ellis home and gave suggestions on how to be more attractive to Elaine. In desperation Felix persuades Roy to change names and places with him and ho would do the courting of Elaine who turned out to be his cover girl under an assumed name. Elaine and her girl friend, Patsy Dare (Betty Grieder) also did a little scheming. They decided that Patsy would take Felix off Elaine’s hands. Consequently she tried out her wiles on the supposed Felix who really was Roy Honeywell, a married man with a three months old child. Mother Ellis decided that an immediate marriage between the protended Felix and Elaine was the solution to her problem and called in Reverend Hooper (Ezra Aberlc) to tie the knot. Mrs, Mudge (Dorothy Martin) appeared on the scene and although coached by the boys as to her role, could scarcely comprohond her position. Roy Honeywell’s wife (Pearl Hoelschcr) appeared with little Oscar as a result of tho sleuthing of her friend, Mrs. Updike (Beverly Melvin) and called in the law. Sergeant Syndcr (Lauren Blair) to deal with her philandering husband. A great many of the laughs wore provided by antics of Anna (Lois Rosendahl), tho slovenly good natured German maid, who could hold her tongue for a consideration. The play was ably coached by Miss Louise Plaster. Between act3 the Girls’ Ensemble sang Auf Wiederschn , Allah’s Holiday , Prayer Perfect and Iho Little Peach . Tho girls in the ensemblo wcre-Lois Rosendahl, Beverly MGlvin, Botty Grieder, Joy Dickman, Jean Johnson, and Joyce Bennett. GOOD RIGHT LADITS JTTPIOR Cl ASA PT AY The junior class of C. r-.

The haze lifts and we are rolling along on a fast train toward a suburb of New York in the year 1950. As we pull into the huge station, whom should we see, but Ezra Aberle, the fastest red can in the world. Ezra can carry four Gladstones at one time and travel a block a minute or an hour, depending on whether she is a blonde or redhead. In the station v e notice a billboard advertising a sensational show at the nightclub little Chatsworth which Ezra says is very good. We hail a cab and who Is driving it hut Arlpdenc Pearson. Arladene is on her vacation and is drivir ; a cab Tor tfie Tun of meetTng people. Arladene says her regular ;ob is managing a Date Bureau for alT of ’the young men and women of New York.

Joy is running this shop to get money to a certain college in Now Mexico to take a music course. She tried symphony but after a few had tries she quit. Jean is in the shop trying to get the best bargain 3he can on her three sets of diamond rings from former marriages. She says she needs a new trousseau and this is one way to get it. We start into Little Chatsworth . We wonder what is hap-pening--there is a shower of glass and yes, you guessed it. It is only Drank Kaberkorn crashing through the door with a little help from TTouncer Lois Rosendahl . Prank is up to his old tricks again.

Also sitting around the table are plains that they usually don't take then with them, Tut “they are celebrating their 10th wed din ; anniversary. Hearing a lot of oo's and ah's we hurry back to our table just in time to catch sight of the v ealthy society lady, Bernice Cohernour and her protecting body guard, 1ahren (OscarJ BTaTr T r ern:i.ce soys that with 30 many young bachelors looking for a weaYthy wife she has to have someone to chase the wolves away.

He answers that it is swell but that now he just geta to look at the beautiful women and not dance v ith them. je wonder who can own such a place, and just as we start to leave wo sec two heads pecking around tho corner of a door. It seems that this is a common thing for they are Tom Ford, tho owner of 'littl.c Chat 3 wo rah” and his 3 toady flame,“Beverly Kelvin . s his silent partner. Tom checks up on his waiters in this manner every once in a whiYe’ 'because ho doesn't want them to drink up all of the profits. Outside we hear the cl. atcr of horse's feet. A horse and wagon pull up and a girl jumps down in overalls. !hy it's Pearl Iloelschor, typical f. rn ;irl of the Fiddle Vest coming to liew York to sec what some more of tho world looks liko.

And may there be no moaning of the bar When I put out to sea. For though from out our bourne of time and place The flood may bear me far, I hope to see my Pilot face to face When I have crossed the bar. Tennyson For, lo, the winter i3 past. The rain is over and gone. The flowers appear on the earth; the time of the singing of birds has come.
