HI-LITE STAFF Probably the most popular time during the past year was the last day of every month when the latest edition of the Hi-Lite came fresh off the mimeograph ma- chine. The Editorial Staff, with Gloria Yough, Editor-ine-Chief, and Associate Ed- itor Bob Smith, in charge, buzzed like a swarm of bees around the commercial room for several days prior to the completion of the newspaper. Undoubtedly the most popular page was Wagie,', with its latest morsels of gossip. Mary Ann Todorich did a fine job of composing the features. Shirley lzleeger gathered the class news from grade school, Edith Smith wrote the Senior news and filled the remainder of her page with the latest happenings of the other Junior-Senior High classes. The Petrolia news was collected and typed by Audrey Campbell. The latest sports news came from the pens of Dixie Jordan and Doris Vensel. Marilyn Stroup, one of our musical classmates, most naturally took charge of the Music page. Phyllis Colbert was always reading newspapers from other schools to obtain choice wit for the Exchange page. Anita Gamble filled her portion of the paper with news of the alumni. Art Editors Bernard Stevens, Maxine Craig, and Joanne Jameson did their part by creating the novel covers. Joan Hayes kept us well informed of the latest library news. Margaret Rankin delved into poetry books and came out with some pretty good poems for her page. Aicling the girls in running off their stencils was Mimeograph Supervisor Evelyn Crawford. Frances Matijak and Wanda Snyder took care of the busfnzss problems. On circulation were Joan Day and Ann Sturges, who busily distributed the papers. Typists Eill Wood and Josephine Rice always had plenty of work to do. Thanks to Roberta Campbell, the Home Economics Department received its share of publicity. The success of the Hi-Lite was largely due to the co-operation of the Editorial Staff, faculty, students, and last, but certainly not least, the careful supervision and advice given by our faculty advisor, Miss Dorothy Mackey. 47

AFTERTHOUGI-IT Among My Souvenirs The Afterthought Staff, better known as the gold diggers of '49, worked their fingers to the bone trying to achieve the quality of former yearbooks, if not to sur- pass them. Co-Editors Gloria Yough and Mary Ann Todorich threw their whole heart and soul into the job of making the sixth volume of the Afterthought a suc- cess. Business Manager Frances Matijak and Advertising head, Mary Ann Tod- orich, allowed no business establishment to escape their search for new ads to complete the back pages. Literary Editors Phyllis Colbert and Roberta Campbell sharpened their pencils and their wits to compose the numerous writeups. On the Circulation Committee was Edith Smith, Audrey Donaldson, and Audine Eisen- huth, Their duties were to take orders, remind everyone to bring their money, and distribute the books when they arrived. Ken Bauer showed his literary ability by recording the information about sports. Barbara Hays, Josephine Rice, and Bill Woods were kept busy typing and retyping the copy before it went to press. I suppose you are wondering who composed the poems about the Seniors. That talented young poetress was Dixie Jordan. Every time anything of prime impor- tance occurred Audrey Campbell was there with her little black book to write it down. Thus, the calendar grew little by little. Photo Editors Doris Vensel, Mar- garet Rankin, and Marilyn Stroup were kept busy planning and identifying pictures. Thanks to talented Bernard Stevens, little gremlins and other works of art appear from time to time in this book. Yes, it was through the co-operation of many that this sixth volume of the Afterthought is a success. The Senior Class wishes to ex- tend our deepest appreciation to Miss Dorothy Mackey, our able and competent advisor, the alumni page, and the advertisers whose ads appear in the rear of the book. 46

THE BABY SITTER Lullaby of Broadway ,. Mrs. Myers, Director, Mary Double and Doris V-ensel, Promptersg Roberta Campbell, Doris Fink, Bernard Stevens, Phyllis Colbert, Clyde Hillwig, Marilyn Stroup, Gloria Yough, Joan Hayes, Dan Morgan, Barbara Hays, Ken Bauer, Dixie Jordan, Mr. McCullough, Director. Front Row: Abner Sheakley, Bob Whitmer. On the evenings of November 4 and 5, 1948, fourteen members of the Senior Class polished up their acting ability to present a comedy in three acts, entitled the Baby Sitter. Directed by Pearl Myers and Mr. Charles McCollough the play kept the audience in gales of laughter. Junior fBob Whitmerl, a holy terror, and Lefty fAbner Sheakleyj, his pal, produced an eve- ning of unending torment for baby sitter Carrie fMarilyn Stroupl. Bob fClycle Hillwigj, who was Carrie's one-and-only, was forced by his mother and father fDixie Jordan and Ken Bauerl to break an important date with Carrie and go on a double date with Eunice fPhyllis Colbert, and his sister, Helen, and her boyfriend, Carl fDoris Fink and Bernard Stevensj. During the course of the evening, two friends of the regular baby sitter, fMidge and Dot, portrayed by Joan Hayes and Gloria Youghl, whose place Carrie was taking to prove her excellent character to Bob's Mother and Father, dropped in to raid the ice box. Junior, running out of devilish things to do, got into Bob's sister, fRoberta Campbelll, Jane's biology specimens and ate a poisonous toadstool. VUhile Carrie was forcing antidotes down Junior's throat, his mother and father, Mr. and Mrs. Gorgan, fDan Morgan and Barbara Haysj, arrived. Misinterpreting her actions they upbraided her severely, also condemning Bob's mother and father for ever hiring her. Carrie was asked to leave and the doctor was called for Junior. Carrie, wanting to hear the doctor's report, returned to talk with Bob. When his mother came into the living room to straighten up the terrible mess made by Junior and Lefty, Carrie hurried to hide behind the sofa, only to be discovered. A state of chaos and screaming followed. All this was interrupted with Mr. Gorgan's sudden proclamation of the doctor's statement that Carrie, with her quick think- ing, had saved -Iunior's life. Apologies and an evening at the country club for Carrie and Bob followed, and the play ended with a much needed spanking rendered to Junior by his father. ' 48
