In Spring the Sap, a three act comedy, was presented by the junior Class under the direction of Mr. Wal- bourn. The action revolves around an elder- ly Justice of the Peace, who is too busy with his invention to marry people. Three romantic couples, a female foot- ball player, a poet, an interfering Woman who runs a soda shop next door, her daughter and several others all add complications to the plot. Back row: Mary Elder, Joyce Sargent, Mary Sue Patty, Ann Zieman, Jerry Peterson, Dave Daniel, Harold Schlesinger, Ray Houser, Philip Thomas, and Diane VVentling.
