JUNIOR CLASS PLAY A Thurber Carnival The Iunior Class play, A Thurber Carnival, consisted of a number of playlets written by James Thurber. Each of the members of the cast had to work harder than usual because most of them portrayed five to eight different characters. This created a lot of extra work, but under the capable direction of Miss Fischer the cast performed well. As the stage crew was small, the performers had to help make and move props. 1. Waltzing and square dancing played an important part of this scene from the Word Dance. 2. In this scene from Gentlemen Shoppers, Thurber shows the confusion that results when department stores begin selling cocktails to attract male shoppers. 3. Cindy Gross dons her make-up for her scene in the Little Girl and the Wolf. 4. Dean Martin has his eyebrows darkened for his scene in File and Forget. V 2 1 A X an-M

PROM Wine and Roses Do you remember the days of wine and roses? The nostalgic days of wine and roses were revived as prom 72. The theme was a take- off from a story about a man's troubles with wine, in the 1920's. Red and white roses, simulated garden walls and a gurgling foun- tain combined to create a very romantic setting. The menu was lavish and the service was excell- ent. Select sophomores acted as waiters and waitresses. After the banquet, couples listened or stomp- ed to the music of Beast. Dean Martin gave the invocation followed by the welcome by Bruce Boyd. Senior class president, David Urban voiced the response of appre- ciation and recognized the tremen- dous amount of work in sponsoring a prom. 3-lj. A one-act play starring Louise Schreiner and Ron Peterson was the evening 's entertainment . The Rev. James Stapleford was guest speaker. 1 X A Q QW mr if My Q I 5 H 1 2 W , t a M i Mimi M Wm gg, I at -r Wh 2 5 it 'Vin S Z' gy At fs is
