The “shooting” started at 2:00 o’cIock When each person had been shot, th y went out to seek entertainment of some kind until supper time. Some played a hall game in which you use sixteen balls, and a stick to hit the balls with; soon went out to Doane College for a visit, and others went to the high school. At supper time, we met at McGraw’s Studio and he took the cl:ss out to supper. After supper, we wer treated to a movie by Mr. Mc- Graw. The name of the show was “Welcome Stranger.” Amid lots of popcorn and o nversations with “strange p ople, some cf us managed to grasp the fchoug.it of the me vie and we enjoyed it very much. When the movie was over, the ice er am parlors did a rushing business for a while; then we loaded into cur cars for the journey home. We may have sp.nt more time if it were not for the football g me some cf the boys had to play th: next day. We arrived home safe and sound except for one flat tire and .a little trouble with Bob Mason. We do.i t know what was wrong with him; you had better ask Marjcrie and Marilyn Heinz about that.

SENIOR CLASS PLAY —- “JUST DUCKY” Cast of Characters Mr. Maxwell Mrs. Maxwell Betfty Lou Bernadine Wilbur Hercules Connie Craig Moore Mr. Moore Del Marshall Aunt Mary Miss Blayne Delvin Roper Marilyn Heinz Ardlth Faye Patton Marjorie Moy'e Darrell Laschanzhy Donald Langdon LaVerne Bures Robert Mason Raymond Jackson Gayle Galusha Lucile We;»t Wilma Priefert What makes teen-age girls do the things that they do? That is a question. What should be done about them? That is a .problem. Betty Lou Maxwell and Bernadine Smith are a couple of questions and problems rolled into one. It s-ems that they’re always up to something, and, gee whiz, there’s just nc stopping them. But after all, girls will be girls. This day started off peacefully enougn at the Maxwell house—in fact—it was a whale of a day. Papa Maxwell had just been chosen as the new head of the citizen’s committe;. Why? Because he had one of the finest and most up-Standing families in the entire community. But it seems that BdttyiLou and Beradine had b:en wanting to write to Vester Blayne —who edits the love-lorn column in the local papers—and they chose this day. Of course, they had no problem. Heavens no! But doesn’t every girl have th. desire to send In a letter, anyway? So they proceed to .make one up, filled with pathos and deep heart throbs. It was really a “send.r.” Since they wanted to make it sound as desperate .as possible, they said that the writer was in love with a man, forty-five years of age, who had children— fouteen, fifteen and ninet en and that she was frantic and knew where she could get hold cf a shotgun. So they mailed their masterpiec., and waited in anticipation for the evening piper. But was their letter published? No! Instead1, Miss Blayne called on Mama Maxwell and unfolded to her the complete story cf Betty Lou’s “sad plight.” From there things reach one of the mcift feverish fever pitches ever crowded into one play. When Mr. Moor —the chairman, cf the citizen’s committee—and Del Marshall, a newspaper reporter, drop in for an interview with Papa Maxwell, the girls mistake Marshall .for th. county marshall, or the state marshall, or tt least some kind of marshall, so they cnce again go into a huddle. They just know that he’s there to arrest Betty Lou. So what cfo they decide? Insanity. Betty Lou will plead insanity; little brother Wilbur is coaxed into acting balmy, and they even go so far aslto prove that the entire family is i.uts—and they in- cluded Papa himself. From then on it's a complete free-for-all—with all the trimmings. Do things finally end all right? Oh yes. But not before you’re so weak and sore from laughter that the play would have to end, anyway.
