Seniosil ' fyootAiefil Zcltaed Time passes quickly when a senior plays the last act of his school production. The curtain falls before he realizes that the play is over and he is ready to start on a new role, but the memories stay with him through life. As graduation draws closer, each day is filled with excitement and regret, with the knowledge that life as a senior at Manual is nearly done. The long years of waiting for that once-in-a-Iifetime moment are cli- maxed when, clad in cap and gown, the senior receives the key to the adult world — his diploma. Senior sponsors this year are Mr. Kenneth M. Smartz, Mrs. Vivian Siener, Mrs. Coral Black, Mr. Otto Kuehrmann, Miss Helen Tipton, and Mr. Volncy Ward. Class officers are Charles Monroe, president ; Bill Oakes, vice-president ; Rosalyn Roembke, secre- tary; and Don Bower, Carl Hager, Jack Miller, and Margaret Steele, home room treasurers. Top scholars of the class are Rosalyn Roembke, valedictorian, and Kathleen Callon, salutatorian. The class gift is a bronze plaque, with the names of the architects, designers, and Board of School Com- missioners, which will be mounted at the entrance of the new building. The plaque will also read that it is a gift of the Class of ' 53. Senior activities included Ivy Day, College Day, and Class Day. You Can ' t Take It With You was selected for the ' 53 senior class play. Directing the production, Mr. Douglas Con- rod (left) was assisted by Dolores Tracy, student director. The play, a story of a rather eccentric family and its problems, was given May 16. Reading parts for the play took a bit of acting by (top right) Webster Brewer, Rosemary Van Jelgerhuis, Charles Monroe, Carole Dee Knapp, Robert Koepper, and Robert Lyon. At work behind the scenes are the members of the produc- tion committee. Barbara Lockhart, Kathleen Callon, Lillian Meister, Rosemary Van Jelgerhuis, Patricia Borror, Shirley Rouse, Tressie Howe, and Marilyn Andrews (lower right) talk over plans for the play with Dolores Tracy. m ■■-■ — 16

l iadd the Manual Eta e Cupid has family troubles in the senior class play, but nothing can keep young lovers apart, as Shirley Burks and Carl Hager (top left) soon prove. Hopes for a dancing career keep Joan Crow on her toes, while her play husband, Walter Clark (top right), finds printer ' s ink in his blood. There is a little bit of actor in everyone, and senior cast members had a chance to take their talent out of hiding for the class play. You Can ' t Take It with You is the story of a haphazard family which makes life a big joke. Dignified Carole Dee Knapp and Edwin Jenkins, parents of the prospective bridegroom (lower left), find it hard to keep up with the antics of the Sycamore family. Life is one big merry-go-round for Grandpa Vanderhoff and Penny Sycamore, who believe in having fun while they can. The parts are played by Robert Koepper and Judy Rod- man (lower left) . Cast members were Joan Crow, Judy Rodman, Rob- ert Koepper, Robert Lyon, Shirley Burks, Carl Hager, Clyde Foster, Joan Lasley, Walter Clark, Webster Brewer, Lowell Harris, Edwin Jenkins, Carole Dee Knapp, and Suann Luessow. Mr. Douglas Conrod directed the production. 17
