DIANA DONALD, MARTHA LUCAS, DARRELL MAZURA, CAROL RIFE No matter how hard it was for Mother and Poppy Rose to make ends meet, they could never say no to a homeless child. Janey, who just didn't know how to belong, and Jimmy John, who is not only a problem child, but who wears braces on his legs, are the two latest acquisitions. As they shift to make room for them, tragedy strikes in their hectic but happy existence. Poppy succumbs to a heart attack. Joey decides to give up medical school and get a job, but Mother puts her foot down on that idea. The operations, which enable Jimmy John to walk, drain the family income and Mother decides to sell the Pumpkin shell, the ocean cottage. Jimmy John, overhearing Mother talking to Mrs. Biddle about the sale, runs away. The children bring him back and then, like a sudden burst of sunshine Mother sells her story based on Jimmy John. This provided a happy ending to the money worries of the Rose family. Page 10 Compliments of: MIKE'S MOTOR COMPANY

COUNTY CHAMPS The Wildcats and all the Wildcat fans really went wild the night that the Clinton five took the County tourneys. Full of spirit and ready to go Clinton made Newport the first victim of the tourney. On went the Cats rolling over Hillsdale; then, Perrysville tasted defeat. The Ver- million County Basketball Championship added another bright and shining trophy to the collection. Sixteen determined teams entered competition at the Indiana High School Sectional Basket- ball Tourneys, but only one of these teams could win. Our very own Wildcats defeated Bridge- ton's Raccoons in our first game. Our next game saw us pitted against Rockville's Rox, and we came out of the fray again victorious. After cooling off Rosedale's Hotshots, we went into the fi- nals and conquered Bloomingdale. The fans cheered as cameras flashed while the team watched the birdie. On to the Regionals C. H. S. was the student body's cry, but the Wildcats ran into a little stiffer competition. SECTIONAL WINNERS SENIORS Compliments of. HARRIS FOOD STORE Page 9

STUDENT DIRECTOR Mrs. Baldwin ................................................... DIRECTOR This highly amusing play takes you to a small town just about like ours, but this town has just become the site for a summer theatre. Sally Minton, a stage-struck teen-ager, has become enthralled with THE THEATRE, ACTING, AND DRAMA much to the despair of her parents, in- corrigible younger brother, and that special boy of hers, Dave. At last, Sally has her chance. A benefit performance is to be given, the tickets are sold, and the leading lady cannot go on. But things are too good. Just as Sally plans how she will live the part of the heroine of the sum- mer theatre play before the very eyes of its producer who is coming to the Minton home, Sally wins a contest. It seems in a desperate effort to make money to finance her interest in the the- atre, she named a flannel nightgown (just like grandmother wore) the cozy cutie ; our Sally is now Miss Cozy Cutie of 1955. In order to win the prize money she must pose in the nightgown, and thus attired she tries to live the part for the recently arrived producer. Her performance is deemed Remarkable, for a little girl of eleven or twelve. Try again in a few years. She didn't quite get that part. But Sally comes back to earth in time to save her Dave from the clutches of another woman. The Minton home is back to normal as Sally Takes a Bow. Compliments of: THE MILLS CO., INC.
