We lost Pat Canty and Pat Poling. This was our first year to have a Romeo in our class, being no other than Ed Daniels. It was both amusing, and very, very inter- esting. We gave our Junior Play Cheaper by the Dozen. We had a double cast of characters and poor Miss Yeager felt as though she had a double head when it was all over. A few of the Senior girls and Miss Yeager went to Constantine- to see their play, which was the same as ours, and decided ours was the best. Aside from Miss Yeager forgetting to bring along any money the trip was more or less un- eventful. The Saturday night, cast had a party at Ada's house. Between listening to The Three Bells' and playing dirty hearts and eating with our guest of honor . . . Lindy Howe, we had a very nice time. This was a year of different opinions and ideas. Although it was rather a high-tension year, we all had a goodi time and learned a lot. We won the King-and-Queen contest with Wayne Barr and Nina Armstrong. We gave a Prom for the Seniors at the Four-Lakes Country Club. Re- member the dark porch? Oh, wasn't that you? Ohhhh, dear! TWELFTII GRADE Our class enrollment at the beginning of this year was forty-eight but we lost Mary Hiatt, who brightened many a dull classroom and now have our present forty- seven. Ours is the largest graduating class in the history of Edwardsburg. Going completely against Tradition we wanted green gowns for graduation. However, we were unable to get them so settled for blue: We did get green on our announce- ments though. Contrary to what happened in the past, we won the King and Queen contest again with Tony Kujawski and Genevieve Persing. Our drive was assisted by one wrecked car and a minor scrap drive, much to the Sophomores and Fresh- men's dislike. Thank you, Juniors for your help! Our Senior Play this year was Beyond Reason. We'll never forget the try-outs, the surprises, and play practice, will we Mrs. Andrews? We have done more work this year than ever before and once again had unity in our class. We wonder what the under-classmen will do when we are out of Mr. Lewis' assembly. You'll have to take the blame yourselves next year boys. We are looking forward eagerly to graduation, our Senior Prom, and our Senior trip to New York City.

' Being a class bitterly opposed td the We've done it in the past, so we'll do it in the future lament, at this time find it necessary to use it after all.
