LOVE IS TOO MUCH TROUBLE The Senior Class Play Love Is Too Much Trouble, took place at a college dive called the Poison Pot, where the students met to discuss their love troubles, and where neutraliza- tion pills, which render people unconscious, accidentally get spilled into food, and are innocent- ly used as aspirin. The Board of Health gave notice to close the 'Poison Pot and the band leader, who had been frozen, was defrosted. There trouble was just beginning. Police thought the laundry truck was stolen: Monica talked too much at the wrong time, Shirley and Sugar Lou were furious: Toastys customers drop like flies when they accidentally got some of Oggys pills: Dean Ross fainted: and President Pillsy expelled everyone. Only when Mrs. Bates praised the school and offered financial help did Dr. Pillsy re- lent. and everybody's world begins to turn right side up. PLAY CAST Ioe Burke, always in trouble ........

Fadra Flickinger, Wilda Gearhart, Mary jane Green, Sarah Harkleroad, Ruby Kimmel, Don- ald Lawton, Secretary: Beverly Leightley. james Mar- shall, Arlene Mclntire, Robert McClelland, Anna Mae Peterman, janet Rearick, William Reefer, Donald Ru- pert, Earl Rupert, Leroy Rupert, Helen Schall, joanne Schall, President: Charles Shupe, William Silvis, Dan Smith. La Rue Stewart, Ronald Shaeffer, Vice Presi- dent: Glenna Mae Wood, Eileen Wray, Treasurer: and Kenneth Wesner. Our subjects were General Math, General Science, English, Geography, and Pennsylvania History. We also had Home Economics for nine weeks. Our teachers were Mr. Heckart, Mrs. Wood, Mr. Smith and Miss Austin to whom we are indebted for their patience and consideration in this, our first year of high school. In October came that never to be forgotten initiation when we did as our upper classmen said, or else-well they had some big paddles with them that night. Following initiation a party was held for us by the other members of the school. During this year we lost Charles Shupe. We think initiation must have been too much for him. Later on. Bob McClelland and La Rue Stewart also withdrew. Almost before any of u-s realized it, vacation had rolled around and soon we were back in school study- ing all the time,---well-most of the time. Our class voted as: Earl Rupert, President: Ronald Shaeffer, Vice President: Ruby Kimmel, Secretary: and janet Rearick, Treasurer.

During the year we lost several of our members. Dale Boyer to Elders Rid e and Sarah Harkleroad to Indiana. We also lost Anna Mae Peterman and james Marshall. We were very glad when Gladys Clark from Apollo High School joined us. Our class planned to have a party at the ball field but rain chased us in to the gray walls of the auditorium, which we had hoped we could leave for a while. This year a science club, the Si Bi Chi was or- ganized and directed by Mr. Smith. In February the club had an exhibit, displaying scientific projects such as model airplanes, different kinds of lights, a machine that made electricity and numerous other interesting devices. The following night a round and square dance was held in the auditorium. lt wasn't long until june came and we left old E. H.
