Boos, hisses, peanuts and vaudeville Clark’s first melodrama was presented by the Junior class under the direction of Miss Carol Kramsky. Pure as the Driven Snow; or A Working Girl’s Secret offered an eve¬ ning of enjoyment to the audience. Peanut sellers and ushers dressed in straw hats and striped vests, vaudeville acts between the scenes, and an occasional boo or hiss from the audience added to the atmosphere. As the curtain opened. Parity Dean, the innocent hero¬ ine, was pursued by the black-hearted villain, Mortimer Frothingham. She accepted a job at the inn of Jonathan Logan and his wife, Zamah. Here Purity and the hero, Leander Longfellow, met and fell in love. Mortimer ar¬ rived on the scene, and with the services of ex-convict Jed Lunn, he began to make trouble. But the virtues of Purity surmounted the evilness possessed by Mortimer. The curtain closed as cheers for the hero and heroine rose from the audience. Between acts L. Weiner asks N. King, “Where would you be without me?” 18 “I’ve found a girl and she’s fainted dead away!” cries Leander. Lettie shows signs of fatigue as she drops the bags with a thud.

In their Raider outfits the Hartford Convention played for Clarkites at three dances and one Hi-Y concert. Assemblies create diversion in daily routine Through the efforts of Mr. Erickson and the Student Council, Clark students were presented with an inter¬ esting and varied assembly program. Clarkites were visited by Dr. Roland Myers speaking on linguistics, Mr. Bumiller and his travelogues, and Senator Birch Bayh. Three assemblies displayed stu¬ dents’ talents, those being the Latin Club Talent show, the Thespians’ skit, and the clothing classes’ fashion show. The choral department, band and orchestra pre¬ sented various concerts while Clarkites were also en¬ tertained by The Hartford Convention, The Renais¬ sance and The Brass of ’ 68.
