CUSS HISTORY The Senior Class of 1951-52 Presents We Live and Learn A Pantomine in Four Acts Act I Setting: Draper High School Time: Sept. 1948 Greater Characters : President-Annabelle Webb, John Clark, Vice President-Helen Vires, Curtis Hylton, Sec retary- Lois Jackson, Bruce Fariss, Treasure r -Velma Sue Vires, Bruce Fariss, Reporter-Joyce Gunn. Lesser Characters: Sixty-two teen-age boys and girls. In this scene we began our career as actors. Our cast consisted of seventy- one members. We had high hopes and plans for the future and from the bottom step of the ladder to success, the road looked long and rocky. The girls were under the direction of Miss Ann Lovern. The boys were started on their merry way under the guidance of Mr. Ralph Allison. We soon learned that the most important signs along the road said, Study . ! ! ! After a few wrong turns and minor accidents, we finally started our long climb to the top. To reach it successfully was our goal, and we worked to get there with- out having to detour. Remembered Events: Our class had a Hallowe ' en Party in the Gym. We played games and had re- freshments. Looking back we remember this as the happiest occasion in our year as green freshmen. Act II Setting: Draper High School Time: Sept. 1949 Greater Characters: President -Ruby Quesenberry, Vice President-Bruce Fariss, Secretary-Louise Dalton, Treasurer-Heien Vires, Reporte r -Bruce Fariss. Lesser Characters: Fifty advancing actors. After fifty-four of us had survived the first year of our climb, we found our- selves located on the second rung of the ladder and another long journey unfolded before our startled eyes. We felt a little better now that we had someone below us, but we still weren ' t high enough. So we stuck our noses in the books and started again. We only climbed out of the stack long enough to read the signs and be sure not to miss the next curve. Some of our cast had been lost in the struggle to reach the second step, but most of us were still trying out for new parts and learning new lines. We are thankful for the help of Mr. Allison and Miss Lovern. Without their guidance some of us would never have reached the next step. Remembered Events: This year we gave a weiner roast back of the school house. We had plenty to eat and lots of fun. Later we played games and danced in the Gym. Act III Setting: Draper High School Time: Sept. 1950 Greater Characters: President-Helen Vires, Vice President-Louise Dalton, Secre- tary-Bruce Fariss, Treasurer-Louise Akers, Reporter-Alice Vires. Lesser Characters: Thirty-one carefree actors. Juniors! ! ! This was a small word but it held a lot of meaning for the thirty- six tired but jolly actors that had successfully advanced to the step below the top. We remember this as the year filled with laughter. Juniors were supposed to be jolly and we lived up to the name. Everyday had something new to laugh about. We considered ourselves experienced actors and demanded more privileges. We became more dignified now that we were upperclassmen. Mr. Lyons was our director for this step. With his help most of us were able to keep up the pace we had set for ourselves when we began. Remembered Events: Our jolliest year is remembered for our junior play entitled The Daffy Dills , our trip to Lakeside and the entertaining of the Seniors.
