The Egg and I lt required much looking through numerous play catalogs to select the Senior Class Play. The class wanted to h-ave a good play which would fit the class well and would be enjoyed by every- one. At first a drama was considered, but one by one they were eliminated and attention was turned to finding a good comedy. Finally, the director, Mrs. Lawlor, decided that The Egg and I based on the book by Betty MacDonald fit the class so well that the books were ordered, and it was pre- sented May 8, l962. Mrs. Lawlor selected Gale Peterson to help as student director. The farmhouse kitchen of the MacDonald chicken ranch in the Olympic Mountains area in the state of Washington is the scene for the play. The whole family, fresh from the city, finds it hard to get up at four--put the coffee on--go out to the baby chicks--come back and fry ham--out to the chicks with warm water--put toast in the oven--out to the chicks with mash--set the table--out to the chicks again--all through the day. With all this work, the two teen-age daughters realize it is difficult to find boy friends. However, there is a hilarious scene when Ioan, having finally cor- ralled one, entertained him under an umbrella while water dripped through the leaky roof of the run- down, ill-repaired house. This play is a heart warming comedy of a family who coped with the Egg-- and learned to like it. Betty MacDonald . . . who meets the egg . . Ioyce Kingery Don Mac Donald . Anne ..... Ioan .....

Although seniors provide the leadership for most activities and school functions, it is the Underclassmen who, to a great extent, determine their success or failure. It is, then, the responsibility of the Underclassmen to take part and cooperate with the rest of the high school in making school projects and affairs succeed. The attitudes and values which will guide us throughout our lives are developed during our years in high school. Thus, it is important that the Underclassmen meet their responsibilities of participation and cooperation. ln many areas this has been a successful year for our high school. Always the success can be greatly attributed to the Underclass- men of M.I-l. S. This is good, for soon it will be their responsibility to be the leaders. Then, they will need the help of others. Our school is composed of many parts. We have times of fun, times of planning and of class projects: and times for study and learn- ing. These important areas are reflected by our Underclassmen. lt is they who give to our high school its character and make it a working body. lasfme y Gqflhxssxx xxqex' Cx
