My . aff!! 1955 .Www W to Sud 5 -K ffE4QEf2LEs , - xt si Hzzifl f To boost their finances, the class held suppers, sold greeting cards in the spring, and put on the Junior Play. This was a first rate production of 'Smarty- pants, directed by Mr. Hammond with a cast of just class members. Without doubt, the entire show was stolen by Bob Bellows' excellent impersonation of a charming young lady. The highlight of the social season was the Junior Prom, put on in the honor of the grad- uating senior class. lt was, naturally, a huge success with decorations and arrangements by class members. Mr, Shepard was class advisor for the last two years of High School, and in the fall of 1954, 22 suave, sophisticated Seniors reported for registration. lt was a year of contrasts, of hard work in class followed by harder fooling around. Early in the fall, the class put another excellent comedy on the boards. This time they produced The Groom Said Nol' directed by Mrs. Hammond and again with an all Senior cast. The performance in Downsville went over with a bang, but trouble stalked the cast in Walton. What with pickle juice getting in the mint jelly and other catastrophies, the play lost some of its punch. With the funds gleaned from this and other activities, the class went to Wash- ington, D.C. on April 2 and returned on the 6th. So, on June 24, 1955, one of the best classes to pass through D.C.S. received their diplomas and forever passed from these hallowed halls. gsikfgwa, . . wma..
