On the night of April 21 and 22, the Jun- ior Class made their debut into the dramatic world. The successful comedy-mystery they presented was Galloping Ghosts. Miss Mcglamara was the director, assisted by Miss To in. The curtain opens at the home of Miss Elizabeth Barton. She is expecting her nephew, Richard, his wife Berkely and with them Madam Dupre, a friend. Richard is planning to plant some gold at his aunt's home and have her find and keep it. Excite- ment sets in, however, when the gold dis- appears and Madam Dupre and Albert are suspected of taking it. When the ghosts ap- pear the audience is provided with a lot of laughs and shivers. Finally in the end the gold is found and the crooks captured. Phil Page 52 and Pat can now enter college and Aunt Eliz- abeth is happy.

Senior Class Play fLeft to Rightj ROW I -J. Flikkema, B. Dykema, J. Voss, F. Mohrman, J. Rus, P. Wray, M. Letcher, D. De Gunther, B. Davidson, L. Hoogheem, J. Temple, N. Abbott, G. NValter, J. Cossman. The Perfect Idiot, which was held in the Coliseum on November 16 and 17, 1949, was acclaimed the greatest dramatic production ever presented by Fulton Community High School students. It was a typical family-comedy centered around the efforts of the perfect idiot, fwho was really a perfect geniusj to go to college. After much trouble, with his folks, friends, best-girl, and a soap company mag- nate, his aspirations were finally fulfilled, and his life became normal once again. The play was a fitting climax, not only to the Seniors, but especially to directors Miss McNamara and Miss Tobin, who only a year before had presented another smash success, Those Webster's with this Very same class.

That is what the Static reporters are doing every month about two days before the publishing deadline. The typists are typ- ing like mad. The editor and sub-editors are chasing around after material, and Miss Ry- ner, the paper supervisor, is wishing it were all over. It's a lot of work, but the staff has fun working together to publish it, and the students always look forward to the day when the STATIC comes out. You don't think it's work? We'll trace an article through the process. The reporter, who wrote and rewrote it half a dozen times, hands it in to Miss Ryner who corrects it and gives it to the typists, who try to figure out what it says. After they do this, a dummy is typed, and then it is ready for typ- ing for the paper. After it is typed on a sten- cil, it is run off on the mimeograph. Simple isn't it? The Static editor is Frederick Mohr- man and the assistant editor is Linda Lloyd. Among the sub-editors are: Dick DeGunth- er, feature and sports editor, George Wal- ter, gossip editorg Harlan Housenga, art edi- torg and Mildred Van Zuiden and Joan Stu- art, exchange editors. The front page is drawn by one of the three people in the art department. They are Margaret Leavens, Linda Lloyd, and Har- lan -Housenga. The typists, the poor girls who have to get everything typed up at the last minute, are Wilma Prins, Dorothy Kooi, Phyllis Maring, Phyllis Miller, and Johanna Voss. And last but not least are our mimeo- graphers, Gerald Wiersema and Frederick Fritz Mohrman, who put the final touch to it all. The other people on our staff are re- porters. Page 53
