Several activities for entertainment and profit were sponsored by the Student Council. Everyone seemed to enjoy the monthly movies-also a show featuring a dancer. To celebrate the end of the football season, a dance was sponsored. We purchased a popcorn machine which is being operated on a share basis with the Junior Class. A carnival, like the one held the previous year, will again be held. The picnic will also be sponsored by the Student Council. Officers and members are: President John Stykcl Secretary-Treasurer Janet Anderson Other Members Keith Myers Raymond Wiltfang Doris Long Lowell Wilson JoAnn Jacobs The librarians have been quite busy this year filing the cards and repairing some of the books.

Leaflet Through the combined efforts of the Senior and Junior classes, much work was put into the publishing of the Leaflet this year. Some of us typed, others wrote articles, drew pictures, addressed envelopes, but whatever we did, we all enjoyed working on it. Since the second issue of the Leaflet was a little late, the whole staff stayed after school one night to “get it out“ on time. Besides working on the Leaflet that night, we enjoyed a delicious spaghetti supper cooked by some members of the staff.

Senior Play FIRST ROW: J. Cook, T. Seaworth, F. Thomson, M. Schreiber, B. Highbarger, B. Magee, M. Bawinkel. SECOND ROW: F. Boomgarden, J. Anderson, V. Asche, A. Snodgrass, Miss Thomas. SENIOR PLAY The Senior Play will oe held this year March 31. and April 1. It is a three-act comedy by Omerea Denison called Which Shall He Marry? The characters are: Mrs. Randolph Elaine Randolph Susan Randolph Patience Randolph Frankie Randolph Mary Jane Randolph Magnolia Mr. Hinman Dick Evans The following Seniors are trying out: Lou, Alice, Velma, Frank, and Betty. Mother of the Randolph Girls The beauty of the family The brains of the family The good angel of the family The athletic member of the family The youngest and plainest of the family The colored cook A lawyer An eligible young man , Jean, Ted, Janet, Merle, Mary Lee, Betty Synopsis: According to the terms of his late grandfather's will, Dick will inherit two million dollars provided he spends a week in the Randolph home and before the end of that week proposes to and is accepted by the one of the five girls who is his grandfather's favorite. The name of the favorite is to be disclosed to Dick by the lawyer after the proposal. Each girl outdoes herself to impress Dick. Elaine, the beauty, completely dazzles him for a day. Susan, the brains of the family, interests him for a short time. Patience, the good angel of the family, drags him around to visit the sick and poor, thus winning his temporary admiration. Frankie, the athlete, wears him down with hikes, riding, and tennis. The fluttery, effusive mother practically ref- erees the contest, driving Dick almost to distraction. But his lifesaver is plain Mary Jane, the quiet little homemaker, who curiously enough is his grandfather s favorite. The part of Magnolia, the colored cook of ample proportions, may be played by a man. The attorney has a very small part. The situations are quite comical and very tense at times. You'll roar at the confusion of Dick as he all but proposes to each of the sisters. You'll love his romance with the adorable Mary Jane. This is a play which is very popular with high school groups. 25
