Slightly different from last year's record, the football team's ratio was 0-0-9. (No wins, no ties and nine losses). Oh, well, you can't be on top alI the time. We did a little better during the basketball season, by having eight wins and nine losses, not counting the tournament, which we lost. This was the season in which Ada, our oldest rival, beat us in an overtime with a score of 50-51. Talk about heart-breaking games, that's one of them! I Aside from the pretty bad showing of our other sports, the boys' golf team won all their games. We at least had something that year to hold our heads up about. To be or not to be, that rs the questioni What could be a better lead-up to the Junior play of 1950?? Every Junior and every other student too, I'm sure, was proud of our play that year. The play, Mother Is A Freshman, was about the biggest sensation of our Junior career. Modest and unassuming tho' we are, we say with pride that we broke the box office record. There were a few tense moments like the time when Jessie Ward adlibed so beautifully and Charlie Brount lost his shoes. To add romance to the play we had Van Johnson and Loretta Young straight from Hollywood in the person of Robert Gemmell and Lois Fitzpatrick. What most people do not know is that there was a real life drama behind the scenes. It was called, among the cast members, The Stirring Saga of the Second Act Kiss, which completely changed the life of one Mack FI inn. With the help of Mary Lou Breidenbach, Mr. Belvedere Griffith changed this shy and blushing young man to a reasonable facsimile of the “Kissing Bandit. Speaking of dramatics, the Thespian Society was organized for the first time in the history of Ye Olde High Schoole under the direction of Miss Isabel Sloan. Juniors qualified for this Society were Duane Deardorff, Fred Barrett, Lois Norton, Winnie Katterheinrich, Jessie Ward and Lois Fitzpatrick. The Kenton Chapter of the Thespiar Society presented the play, The Shadow of A Dream, at the district drama festival in Bowling Green. They received superior comments. In the spring a young man's fancy lightly turns to thoughts of love, but not we Juniors; we had the prom to think of. (UGH) After maxi- mum work and minimum expense, we transformed the gym into a riot of color, carrying out the theme of Mexican Fiesta. About every member of our class has memories of making flowers, hanging decorations, and the other feverish acti- vities connected with decorating for the prom. Finally the big night was herel I As the couples entered, the sight of a beautiful wishing well bedecked with roses caught their eyes. By the time the evening was ended, even the Seniors admitted that we had set a new goal for succeeding classes to live up to. Before we knew it, vacation had again arrived and most of the future Senior class got jobs and began saving for their wants and needs of the coming year. For the final time we ascended the steps of Ye Olde High Schoole. Although we had planned to loaf and have a good time this year, we were surprised to discover that even Seniors have such things as book reports, homework, and term papers. With one last sigh for our broken dreams, we settled down to writing CIVICS reports, CIVICS reports, and then again there were CIVICS reports. There were a few lighter moments as there had always been, for basketball and football. We learned the very impressive cheer CHARGE which was suggested by Coach White. This was a special cheer used oniy when our team was ad- vancing down the field. It must have helped a little, because we won a couple games. The choral department presented the lively opera Martha. The scenery was painted by the art department. Miss Helen Terrill made helpful suggestions about the costuming. Martha proved to be a delightful production and was enjoyed by all who saw it. Hidden among all the SDorts dramatics, and studies, were the UNFORGET ABLE Senior parties! 111 What a time we had as wt square danced, ate, and ate some more. At the time we were only concerned with having a good time. But at Christmas time we took time out to go to sing carols at the County Hospital and at the Marling Rest Home and the Scott Rest Home. Seniors had not done that for a long, long time, we were told. Before we knew it, everyone was talking and thinking of graduation. We chose our class motto, song, colors, flower, and we were measured for our caps and gowns. In a few weeks the great day we have been waiting for for the last twelve years will be here —HALLELUJAHl 11 MARY MUSTAIN ROBERTA KINSEY GENE PIFER Compliments of PHILIPS AND DAVIES, INC. 24
