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.

56 Activities “Zing Go the Strings of My Heart’ were the words that floated through heads of couples, dancing to the music of “The Embers.” Juniors Entertain Seniors at Gala Dance Formally attired juniors and seniors escorting their dates danced an evening away under Dixieland stars. In a setting suggestive of a modern New Orleans night club, the Embers sounded forth jazz melodies. Led by Mrs. Diane Brewington, sponsor of the Junior Class, and Nancy Schrum, class president, Satur- day night, May 12, the juniors entertained the seniors and faculty at the second prom. Parents served refresh- ing punch and delicious cake in the cafeteria. Junior art students dashed through the halls wear- ing bermudas and covered in paint during the last hectic week of decorating in preparation for the prom. Because of the combined efforts of everyone, the upperclassmen enjoyed a never-to-be-forgotten evening. Members of the Junior and Senior classes enjoy friendly conversation between dances amidst the shadows of a night club setting.
