ACTIVITIES SENIOR CLASS MEETING Senior Class meeting at one. The meeting is called to order and the min- utes read, Then new business, old business-with much arguing by Sen- iors and desk-pounding by lobby, Finally Bob asks for a motion that the meeting be adjourned. The motion's made and seconded, more desk pound- ing: Phew, says lobby, Many more like that and I won't live to see Washingtonlu LOST AND FOUND Nothing ot value escaped the eagle eyed Seniors, whose motley array of personal belongings accumulated in a locker until the collection rivaled the notion counter of a large department store. We should have started three years sooner,-it's a howling suc- cess. CHRISTMAS PLAY The Seniors welcomed the Christmas holidays with a play, appropriately written for the season, 'Upon a Mid- night Clear. It was a touching story of two waits and the realization ot their Christmas dreams through the generosity of several older people. The cast included: Lily Trotzinka, Marcia Williams, Edith Schoenly, Ted Narozonick, C-eorge Celber, Betty Pal- mer, Virginia Winston.
