Glau Jliaiafuf Hold your hats, folks. Here we go! lt's the Class of '46 Review. We have just returned from seeing the show. The all-star cast was composed entirely of members of '46, Act I, directed by Mrs. Jessie Hanson, took place in 1944 with Presi- dent Bill Kiely and Vice President Judy Graves in the leading roles. They were supported by Secretary Ruth McManus and Treasurer Charlie Cross. As the curtain rose, those players were planning for a spring dance and discussing choices for class pins, a class motto, and a fclass color. They were expressing some doubt as to whether pins would be available that year. A war was in progress which might make them unobtainable. Have no fear. Our heroes saw us through. They agreed that the class motto would be Don't try dying, but die trying. Royal purple was chosen for the class color, as it was the favorite shade of Principal Campbell. The dance was planned for March 24 with Jane Benet as committee chairman. Ah, the next scene showed our actors at the dance. The colored crepe paper decorations were very attractive. Ray Nims' band was won- derful. An unusual number of girls wore smart black dresses making a very effective picture indeed. The dance was a big success and our friends were able to add S25 to their treasury. In the next scene appeared the leading actress, Judy Graves, enthusi- astically supporting a plan to sell 'personalized postcards.. No one was spared a long, persuasive sales talk. As a result, orders greatly exceeded expectations and more money was added to the till. As a gay finish to the first act, a picnic was held. The scenery closely resembled Marblehead's own Deveraux Beach. Some of the boys indulged in a game of football, while other lads and lassies took a quick dip in the icy water. A portable radio supplied a sentimental background to the festivities. There was bustling activity as hot dogs, sandwiches, chips, pickles, tonic, and ice cream were distributed. Speaking of refreshments, the intermission -came at this point. Out in the lobby the girls basketball team was huddled together giving a rousing cheer. The girls really had something to shout for . . . in six years as a class team they had not lost a single game. In three years the same record was true in volley ball and field hockey, too. Quite an achieve- ment, huh, boys? 1946 was truly well represented in athletics. Many of the boys served three years on the basketball and football teams, which is quite an unusual accomplishment. We were back in our seats in plenty of time to see the beginning of Act II with 'President Ted Blackler, Vice President Priscilla Wheeler Sec-
