We feel that we are now better prepared to face this challenge.We have gained a basic knowledge which should help us to decide our pur- pose, We realize we have a long way to go until we have achieved our final goal, but under God's guidance and care, we feel we are ready to undertake this venture. As our final days at LHS draw near, we publish this book as a re- view of the highlights of our high school days and as a link with our classmates from whom we will now have to part. For His Friendliness and Inspiration We Proudly lledieate This Kook To Mr. Robert Schumacher Looking back we will not forget Mr. Schumacher. We seniors selected him as our class advisor during our fresh- man year. In his various classes, we enjoyed his sense of humor and appreciated his helpful attitude. Our athletic honors during this past year are a result of his inspiring influence. Fis coaching has taught that good sportsmanship goes beyond athletic contests.

V In what was probably the best District Five tournament in a good number of years. Leo la nosed out Hosmer to reach the finals while Cresbard nipped Ipswich and Faulkton to gain their berth. The fact that the Bugs con- trolled approximately 70 per cent of the rebounds was the main factor in their win. Leola led throughout the game. Jim Breitag tucked a field goal as the horn ended the first half to give Leola an 18-16 lead. Car- rold Kraemer repeated an out- standing performance of the Hosmer game and netted 15 points to match Breitag’s 15. It was a great team effort paced also by tall Paul Holmes and Dale Smolnisky and Ronnie Schaffer’s rebounding.

LHS ALL-SCHOOL CAST TO PRESENT NUTS IN MAY ♦---------- Students of Leola High School will again show their dramatic abilities March 24, 1961, when 16 actors and actresses portray Cornelia Otis Skinner’s play, “Nuts in May. The play, the second all- school production, takes place in a bed-sitting room in a New York apartment. Starring in the cast, Kathy Kohlhoff will play the part of Cornelia, a well-known actress in her early forties with Thomas Bell as Alden, her husband. Cornelia’s son Michael will be played by Glenn Jakober. Isabel, Evelyn Fischer, is Cornelia’s hysterical girl friend about 40 years old and Ethel, the house- keeper will 6tar Anne Smolnisky. Sharon Kamm as Shirley and Diane Hoffman as Mary Ann are two 16-year-old girls burning with a desire to become act- resses. Diane Kline as Janice, is a 17-year-old gal with a car- ried away speech, and Charlotte Mehlhaff as Victoria, Janice's rival, both have a love affair with Michael. Also in the cast are Audrey Opp as Eva, a middle-aged woman in a grand- motherly type appearance, Aud- rey Vilhauer as Maggie Dell, a successful TV star, Lloyd Mclntire as Phelps, the door man, Ruth Lapka, Victoria’s mother, and LeRoy Fuehrer as Watson O’Neil. Marty and Sam, played by Leslie Feiock and LoRoy Mack also appear as two TV technicians. “OUR TOWN” PLAY IS WELL RECEIVED The Leola High School gym was alive with Thorton Wilders characters in the play, “Our Town” presented November 18 Emily Webb, very effectively played by Joanne Heagley had the audience moist-eyed as she makes the realization how much life was worth living. LeRoy Mack did a splendid job as stage manager on stage dir- ector. druggist, and a lady of the town. Abley adding to the pro- duction were Karen Durheiro and Steve Becker as Mrs. and Dr- Gibbs. Emily’s parents were played by Leslie Feiock and Ruth Lapka as Editor and Mrs- Webb. Tom Bell playing George Gibbs wins Emily over in act two and leads her to the alter. The audi- ence was in empathy with him as he poured out his heart to his deceased wife in act III. The minor rolls, which were quite often not very well por- trayed and often seemed need- less, added tremendously to the success of the play. LeRoy Fuehrer did a good job as the choir director and town drunk- He was one of those musical fellows and they’re not quite like the rest of us. Evelyn Fischer as Mrs. Soames played her part superbly as the town gossip. Larry Rau was transfigured into a friendly milkman- Joe Cra- well, played by Harvey Gisi and Si Crawell by Herb Erdmann added their talent to the cast of “Our Town “Our Town” was a different type of play than ever pre- sented in Leola before. There was no scenery or props to speak of used in the play. Because of the size of Leola High’s stage, an addition was built onto the front. The entire cast and Mr. Swan- son, their director, after practic- ing for a month and a half, breathed a sigh of reMef as the last members took their bows. Above are members of the drama club. The club, headed by Mr. Jerome Swanson, was started at the be-ginning of the second semester. Its purpose is to create enthusiasm In drama. Besides helping produce high school plays, their activities include seeing plays of other high schools and college productions.
