A roar of laughter arose at the antics of Nancy McCutcheon and Karen King as the elderly sisters, Martha and Abbey Brewster. The senior class play, Arsenic and Old Lace, was a topic of conversation for days, as students re- called the lines of Billy Blackwell, Lawrence Boyce and Jimmy Enroughty. In March, Co d Harbor, 1864, a one-act play written by Mrs. Frances Kitchin and directed by Mr. Joseph Lowenthal, received the highest honor possible, a Dis- tinguished Rating in both District and State Forensics. A story of the Civil War period, it showed the irony of Fate in human lives. Said Mr. Lowenthal, ‘‘There should have been an even higher rating it it were pos- sible. This was a professional job.” Linda Walters and Nancy McCutcheon recite lines in tryouts for the part of Martha Brewster in Arsenic and Old Lace. Catherine Ellke, Bernadine Henderson and Mike Grif- fith pose in scene of Thanksgiving program. Mrs. Frances Wimer judges the speech of Eugene Rawlings during first Forensics.

Students Parade Art Knowledge at Shows Toward the end of each term, students and teachers yearn to display the year’s accumulation of knowledge and skill in exhibits. The Science Fair gives ample opportunity, not only for parents and friends, but for judges to see how much we had learned. With an improved judging system and the experience from the previous fair, students used all their ingenuity to make successful projects. In May came the art show. Under the direction of Mr. Cheatham, paintings, sculpture, and sketches sprang to life in as many colors as the spring flowers. Sighs of wonder echoed through the halls as scores of visitors viewed the impressive art work. Ret tes oo ae A oe th eae ROENE , “This is my type of art!’ seems to be the thought of a representative from the younger set at exhibit. Mrs. Kenneth F.
