a mystery and so was our play, THE FOOLPROOF MURDER. Between the bullet shots in the dark piercing shri! screams, and the appearance and disappearance of strange bodies, we had the audi- ence in an uproar. As uproarious as was our Junior year, it cannot be denied that as Sophisticated Seniors we really surpassed ourseives when this fall we presented THE DOCTOR'S DAUGHTER as our dramatic undertaking of the year. The audience must have been appalled at the antics of Eileen Alzman as Tommy, a teen-aged terror, who wrote to Lonely Hearts clubs and sent love letters to her sister's boy friend. Marilyn Zeltmann and Joe Breeder were her harassed parents while Anita Novick and Ken Laskey were the passionate (?) lovers. After we had fully recovered from this enterprise, a few energetic members of our class applied their nimble brains and willing hands to the engineering of the basketball concession, which flour- ished successfully under the leadership of Nancy and Pat. To finish 1950 with a bang we presented a Christmas Party, Dreamer’s Holiday. The romantic effect of dim lights, dazzling stars and soft music was enchanting. The cafeteria, disguised by holly, mistletoe and a luxuriant Christmas tree, was the setting for the turkey dinner served at this dance. One of the highlights of this year's activities was our Senior Banquet held at the Hotel Lenape. Our guests included members of the Board of Education, Mr. and Mrs. Panebaker and several faculty members. Rev. J. Douglas Gaston was our guest speaker on this occasion. As graduation creeps up on us, we have one more task ahead of us—that of making our Senior Prom a success. A committee is now working on this and they report satisfactory progress. Of course the publication of LIBERTAS is vastly important to us, as it is to seniors every year, and our staff is busily at work trying to make this year's book, which holds our most cherished mem- ories, bigger and better than ever. And now, in order that we may keep our deadline with the editors, we respectfully submit this, the History of the Class of '51, to the staff of LIBERTAS. SARA LOU LEVENSON NANCY ROOSA SYLVIA WIRTH
