There are a number of pleasant memo- ries which everyone will remember in years to come. At the beginning of the year, the seniors gave a movie and a dance. The juniors and seniors had two very exciting magazine contests and the loser gave the winner a party. Most of the students cooperated but the seniors lost. Clmagine thatlj They had to give the juniors a party. On February 7, in the afternoon, and February 8, in the evening, the seniors presented a wonderful three-act play. It was centered around students of their own age and their struggles to build a high school paper. In the lead we found Fred Netz as Johnny, a typical high school lad who was the editor. Susan Blake, his assistant, played by Wanda Chapman, nearly got sent to the pen . Mr. and Mrs. Clover, played by Charles Webber and Grace Bennett, made a very dignified couple, did they not? Johnny's friend, Spud, was played by Delbert Gardner: Henry Quinn, the principal of the school, was played by Walter Burnham and Mar- tha, a popular teacher of journalism, was played by Ruth Frisz. There was also that southern gal, Lucybelle, from Tennessee played by Florence DeGrove. Betsy, Spud's sister, was played by Doris Miller: and Preston Hughes, captain of the football team, was played by Blaine Cripe. Everyone got some good laughs. The Senior English Class made up the Colonial Staff, with Evelyn Nelson as editor-in-chief. It did a very line job this year. The seniors in the National Honor Society were Grace Bennett, President: Wanda Chap- man, Evelyn Nelson, Delbert Gardner, Florence DeGrove, Darrell Thompson, Doris Miller, and Betty Weber. Grace Bennett was President of Boosters Club: Shirley Smith was President of the Lassies: Betty Bogue was President of the GJ-LA.: Dale Hertel was President of the Minutemen. Betty Weber was the only senior in the band: Doris Miller was President of Sub-Deb, and Charles Webber was President of F.A.A. Paul Jacobs was captain of the basketball team. The Annual Staff, under the leadership of Howard Couch, progressed very well this year. Everyone cooperated and had much fun taking pictures and getting the material ready. The senior play cast thoroughly enjoyed themselves in Chicago March 12, 1945. They saw the play, The Ten Little Indians, and agreed that it was worth the unexcused absence. The class members had a good time Skip Day, participating in varied activities which were of our choosing. 10 The 1945 Minuteman 4
