THE RUNNING TIDE CAST Monica Parks............SHARON LEE TIMMERMAN Amos Lamb .................... JOHNNIE COTTRELL Rachel Porks.............. DONNA RAE RUATTO John Agate........................ ERSEL BURGESS Student Director........................................ 8ARBARA GUINN Director..................................................MRS. McWETHV The setting is a lighthouse on a windy March night about the turn of the century. Just about this time each year for the past two years a ship has gone down on Shark Ledge, (a treacherous reef off the lighthouse), because the light failed. An inspector comes to investigate these mys- terious happenings; ah, but he travels incognito. Our only suspects are the three inhabitants of this dismal place. Rachel Parks, a romantic young girl, her sister, Monica, the strong one, and Amos Lamb, kindly old helper on the island. Monica is to be hated and feared, for she rules her seemingly defenseless sister with an iron hand. At times even Amos must object to Monica's harsh treatment of Rachel. We believe, along with the inspector, John Agate, that Monica Parks is a dangerous woman; she must have caused the ships to founder. But as Agate's patrol boat is coming in over Shark Ledge to pick him up, it creates chaos. We learn that Rachel, because of an unrequited love af- fair with a seaman, sought vengeance by causing his ship to go down. In her poor demented mind she recreates this scene each year by putting out the light. Monica and Amos realize that, for a little while, they must send Rachel away. Inspector Agate acknowledges the courage of Monica and old Amos and declares that there will be no changes made on the Isle Au Haut. Page 12 Compliments of: G. C.

1954 PROM The night of May 14, 1954 was truly a night to remember for the Juniors and Seniors. On this date the Junior Class presented the annual prom. The theme for this prom was Moonlight and Roses. The dark blue sky, the twinkling stars, and the music of Leo Baxter and his orchestra set the mood for this evening. Guests entered this fairy-like garden through a white flower-decked gate. Along the sides of the gym there was a white trellis where vines and pink and red roses were entwined. The bandstand was a raised carpet of green strewn with roses on wrought iron stands and the tables were decorated with star- dust and silhouettes of a dancing couple. The highlight of the evening was the crowning of the queen, Ruth Davidson. Her attendants were Sharon Hayes, Sue Staats, Joyce Goldner, Margo Pesavento, Phyllis Secondino, and Joan Filchak. As the strains of Goodnight Sweetheart floated through the gym, the guests knew that their evening was fast drawing to a close. Page 14
