The assembly was well-received, and music for the Prom was by Don Leach’s orchestra. Decorations in a Mardi Gras effect were supervised by Miss Allen, assisted by Joyce Fouche, Elinor Anderson, Rita Mack, and Mary Garabedian. Our Class rings arrived in the middle of February and were well-liked by all who received them. The style was much the same as former classes, with oblong-shaped onyx raised from the gol d band and the school symbol of the letter “S” on the center of the onyx. Two new members acquired to our home-room are Robert Foster and Kenneth Loud, but Henry Cop- polo and Barry Moore left the school, the latter to move to California.

This has long been an objective for Senior classes, and we are proud that we were the first to accomplish it. Our play was the well-known Huckleberry Finn,” by Mark T wain. The hall was filled to capacity when the curtain rose and found Huck Finn played by Charles Dick- inson talking to the escaped negro. Jim, portrayed by Eugene Cote. Huck Finn, supposedly drowned, had just showed up at the home of the Wilcks’ where Aunt Sally, excellently played by Helen Card, and Uncle Silas, played by Ray Sherman, were taking care of the two Wilcks girls, Mary Jane, dramatized by Betty Cambridge, and Joanna, the typical tomboy characterized especially well by Diana Von Der Heide. Aunt Sally, expecting her nephew, Tom Sawyer, to arrive, jumped to the conclusion that Huck was Tom. Miss Emeline Grangerford, the town reporter, delightfully played by Jean Gilman, was there to get the news of Tom ' s arrival. After Huck had been settled in the house as Tom. Uncle Silas discovered Jim, the negro, and took him to his former master. Joanna Wilcks talking with Huck noticed a call of cats by someone outside who Huck told her was a clock peddler. This was really Tom Sawyer played by Raymond Taylor. After much thought, it was decided that Tom should make believe he was Sid, Tom ' s real half-brother, so as not to get Huck in trouble. The villains of the play were Richard Stok- inger as T he King” and Robert Taylor who de- lighted the audience as “The Duke” with his vocabu- lary of google-google.” These two were after the money of the two Wilcks’ girls. Through Huck Finn and Joanna’s cleverness, the fortune was saved. All was forgiven when Aunt Polly played by Helena Clifford and Beckey Thatcher played by Margo Dolan came and disclosed the real identi- ties of the two boys. In the meantime, Jim, the negro, was set free and Joanna and Huck struck up a long and lasting friendship. The class wishes to express its gratitude to Miss Megley who coached our play and also to the large audience who attended. i 16 } '
