JCFENCE CLUB Twenty-two members, under the guidance of Mr. Herbert Goddard, formed the Science Club, now in its second year of organization. They planned several projects, including the assembling of a short wave radio and the making of a small telescope. Each member chose one of the following fields in which to center his interest: biology, space travel, chemistry, electricity, and astronomy. These groups contribute to the annual Science Fair. Their experiments and projects make this fair successful, and the Science Club itself is one of great school interest. ... FRAFFIC SQUAD For the first half year this volunteer group of senior girls acted as traffic marshals in the corridors. At the half year mark a new squad took over. The way concerned students participated in relieving the traffic problem is typical of the enthunsiastic interest the student body takes in maintaining our standards of order and efficiency.

Because of the ideas and plans of this Organization, the school enjoys many excellent assemblies. REN CHOSS...

The Senior Play is a main function and foremost money-raiser of the Senior Class. The tryouts for this year’s production, A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur’s Court, were held in early December. A faculty committee, headed by Mr. Wilbur Cheever, chose the following cast: Hank Bennett—Russell Morash, Jr.; Mrs. Bennett, his mother —Jean Webber; Marion, his sister—Janet Sorrento; Merlin—Watson Lunt; Queen Morgan le Fay—lIrene Silva; King Arthur—Charles Peirce; Queen Guenevere—Genie Loupret; Clarence—Patricia Gibbs; Elaine—Sally Proctor; Sandy—Lucille Rogers; Sir Sagramor— Paul Bagelman; Sir Launcelot—Donald Chandler. The play was hailed by all as a greatsuccess, dramatically and financially. Much credit belongs to Mr. Cheever, director, and Paul Ross, student assistant. Stage Manager Sandra MacLean, Business Manager Bruce Allen, Scenery Chairman Lois MacElroy, Staging Chairman Richard Child, Costumes Chairman Connie Carlson, and Make-up Chairman Ann Brenchick supervised the committees that worked so hard backstage. With committee help, excellent direction, and enthusiastic support by the student body, A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court was a Senior Play to be long remembered as a most successful, entertaining, and cooperative effort of the Senior Class.
