SENIOR PLAY “You Can’t Kiss Caroline” The Seniors made their last stand in the field of dramatics when they presented “You Can’t Kiss Caroline.” A comedy with sixteen characters, the play has its setting in Ma Rand’s durg store. The plot revolves around reactions of the school’s “smooth set” to a new, different kind of girl, Caroline. The climax comes with a kiss and a flock of indigo buntings. FRESHMEN PARTY Freshmen Party Since green is often applied to the freshmen as well as the Irish, the freshman class celebrated the St. Patrick’s Day with an all school party. Following tradition the party was informal with entertainment furnished by the students. Refreshments were sold by the class. 26
