Stricken with polio in the fall of 1950, he con- tracted pneumonia early in April and died April 27, 1951. Tom was an active member of his class, his main interest being the varsity swimming team, on which he swam breast stroke. He will live in our memory as a classmate who was interested in school, in life, in achievement. To live in hearts we leave behind is not to die. leaked fion an n emoriam Thomas Fassnacht receives care in the local hospital with the hope of helping him on his way to recovery. Four

Ol 0l,UOI All the world's a stage, And all the men and women merely players. They have their exits and their entrances, And one man in his time plays many parts. -- WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE. For the past three years our stage has been McCaskey High School, and we have all been bit players in a drama called LIFE. In a little while we shall make our entrance on a bigger stage and assume major roles in the drama. This play has been acted for thousands of years on the stage of civilization, and now a new generation is coming into the spotlight. When we entered McCaskey as sophomores, it was said, and rightfully, that we had the world at our feet and everything ahead of us. The second World War was over and everything was fine and dandy. That illusion was not to last long. Last year, on june 25, 1950, the fragile bubble of peace burst. For the second time in a decade our country was fighting in a war - fighting against aggression and for America's high ideals of freedom. The graduates of 1951 are facing an uncertain future. Some of the boys will go to college or will work. Many more will have an appointment with the armed forces on a battle field, and still others will prepare for military service, for it is the youth who are fighting. As for the girls-some will go to college, some will work, but almost all of them will find their major role in the next few years one of waiting for peace. This acting without a script calls for more than ability. We must want with all our hearts to give a good performance and to make a desirable future for the next generation. Our heritage is work -to build peace, God willing-- and to set a stage of happiness for our posterity. jadk of gonfenfa SCENERY ......-. 6 STARS .................................... ...... . so SETTINGS ................................................. 8 BEHIND -1-HE SCENES .,...',..' lnpnnn 2 62 DIRECTORS AND PRODUCERS ........... ........ 1 2 IN -1-HE LIMELIGHT uuuuhrvlnhn Itbphh. 9 2 STAGEHANDS AND UNDERsTUDIEs .......,,,. 22 PATRONS .-,,-,.,,,,,,,... ...'.'l 1 12 Five
