Starting from scratch, Coach Bob Kechely developed a fast aggressive team that had both a fine running and passing attack. From its first loss to a fine Talmage team to its bruis- ing attack that crushed Brock, the football team made a fine showing. So let us congratulate the football team of 1954 for its outstanding record.

Junior Class Play Presented on Nov. 9, 1954 Directed by Mr. Varley Walter Greer, a regular American boy, is spending all his time perfecting his football skill so his sand-lot team can win the Saturday game. Before Saturday comes a black Friday when life suddenly turns dark with troubles for Walter. To help cinch a big real estate deal with Mrs. Hildegard Kirk, Walter's motheragrees with Mr. Kirk that Walter should go to dancing school,with Cecil Kirk, who, according to Walter, is a drizzling drip. When Cecil gets a black eye, Walter's younger sister, Lynn, says Walter planned to give Cecil a black eye. Jane, the girl next door, adds that they were fighting over her and it was Cecil's fault. Mrs. Kirk is furious and has Walter arrested. The judge believes in holding the parent responsible also, so father goes to jail, too. But Walter did not black Cecil's eye. When they really do fight, Cecil blacks Walter's eye. Ed McGinnis, who has been trying to marry Walter's older sister, Alice, shows up with the startling news that Cecil got his black eye taking boxing lessons. Mrs. Kirk gets a surprise when she learns money isn't as convincing as she always thought. And Walter decides to go dancing after all because it helps foot- work in boxing.

Senior Class Play Presented on April 26, 1955 Directed by Mr. Varley This isn’t funny? The Haskins family is all a dither because they are expecting momentarily the return of their only son, Billy, who through his heroic exploits during a shipwreck has become a national figure. When the whole town has turned out to welcome Billy, his easy-going, homeless pal, Cornelius Neeley Crum is mistaken for the hero. Neeley receives the cheers and adulation, until the Haskins family appears to straighten out the error, but not until Pamela Payne, the college reporter, has whispered to Virginia, Billy's one-time sweetheart, about Neeley's (whom she be- lieves to be Billy) amorous inclinations. Complications pile one on top of the other when a local filling station is held up, Pamela elopes, and poor Billy is suspected in both cases. Neeley turns up with two hundred dollars, the exact amount taken in the hold-up. Pop Haskins and Smitty, the maid are drawn into the misunderstanding, and Billy concludes that a hero's role is not all that it should be. However, in the end Billy is exonerated and wins the girl of his choice, Neeley is adopted by one of the town's most exalted citizens, and the Haskins family once more basks in the reflected glory of The Hero.
