Junior and Senior Plays Provide Many an Young Doctor Diaforus—Tim Shickley (second from left) proposes to Angelica—Linda Oliver, while Angelica's fiance—Steve Poole,her father—Phil Anderson, and the maid—Ramsey Elkins appear concerned. Make-up is an important part of any play. Sally Wim-mer and Barb Clouser demonstrate how to apply makeup to Mark Updegraff and Phil Anderson. On April 29 and 30, 1965, the Junior Class presented evening performances of The Imaginary Invalid. The play was a French play, written by Moliere in the 17th century. The play was directed by Mrs. Charlotte Barr. Student directors were Susie Pearson and Karen Sanders. The play centered around Argon, who was a hypochondriac. Argon wanted his daughter to marry a doctor so he wouldn't have to pay medical expenses. Of course, his only problem was that Angelica, his daughter, did not love the doctor he had chosen. Angelica's lover, Cleante, disguises himself as her music teacher in order to be near her. The maid, Toinette, devises a scheme to fool Argon and get rid of the young man he has selected. In the end they make Argon a doctor so he can cure himself. Thus Angelica and her lover, Cleante, live happily ever after. Members of the cast were as follows: Monsieur Argon.....................

Beauty and Victory Add to Homecoming Festivities On an impressive but dismal Saturday, September 14, 1965, our mighty Panthers defeated the Hartford City Airdales in a decisive 19-0 victory. During half-time ceremonies five pretty girls rode onto the field in gaily decorated convertibles for the crowning of the queen. Lovely Miss Ann Webb was crowned by her predecessor, Miss Margaret Win-grove. Homecoming festivities came to a climax at the annual Homecoming dance where the theme, September Silhouettes, provided memories meant to last a lifetime. Jeanne Drake executes her office as secretary of Thespians. Cheryl Pace displays her abilities as a laboratory technician assistant at Mercy Hospital. Barb Clouser demonstrates her ability as a Willkie High varsity cheerleader. Susie Pearson works diligently on the yearbook to meet a last minute deadline.
