The grand Iinale was a banquet with Joanne Borden, Judy Graves, Phyllis Hubbard, Howard Knight and Ray Orne comprising the committee. Charlie Cross, Beverly Hill, and Bill Kiely were on the Reception Commit- tee, and Barbara Heizer, Bob Lueders and Frank Meredith served on the Gift Committee. It was an occasion which will never be forgotten by those who attended. As the Hnal curtain rang down, we felt that the members of the production should certainly be commended for their work. . Maxine Hammer. 616:44 Wd!

retary Barbara Heizer and Treasurer Donald Lipphardt under the leader- ship of Miss Lancy. The chief interest of the act centered around ordering rings for all who desired themf lt was determined that the crest of the ring would bear either a lighthouse or the town seal. The foresighted group early in the year engaged the gym for a Junior Prom on May 25, the general idea being to give advance notice to all, especially the bashful boys. Those who had missed the fall dance with its decorative scarecrows, wagon wheels, gourds and vegetables, could be sure to ask their favorite girl to the prom. The many colored lights playing on the long pastel evening dresses and jolly circus ornaments made the end of Act II very romantic. Song hits from the Review that the audience was humming during the intermission were the catchy Mairzy Doats, Chiclcery Chick, Mr. Five By Five, and Pistol Pacloin' Momma. Other memorable songs were: Till the End of Time, It Might as Well be Spring, Sentimental Journey, and Make Believe. We found as the curtain rose for the third and final act that the prin- cipal actors were President Jack Baumann, Vice President Marion Teel, Secretary Betty Dray, Treasurer Frank Chandler and Athletic Association leaders Norma Dickson and Leo Martin-all well coached by Miss Thomp- son. These players' first project was to urge their classmates to have their graduation pictures taken. The next scene showed a line of scrubbed, neatly groomed people waiting to go into the Waid Studio. After seeing the finished pictures, we reached the conclusion that the class of '46 had many good looking members. After the pictures had been taken the scene shifted to the Christmas Dance. The decorations were merry and unique. Bright Christmas pack- ages, toys, holly, candy canes and Santa with his sleigh covered much of the wall. The decorating committee, supervised by Marion Teel, worked long and tirelessly to make everything perfect. The final result was very gratifying. Gene Rogers supplied the music. A few among the outstanding members of '46 came on stage and took bows between scenes. There were Beverly Hill and Donald Gray, our top- notch spellers. Bev also won the American History Award. Betty Dray was the Marblehead girl chosen by the D.A.R. Bob Lueders, Bob Parker, Frank Chandler and Joanne Borden represented Marblehead at the Ameri- can Legion. Joanne and Marie Kean acknowledged a curtain call for their energetic work as Yearbook edito1's. 'They were enjoying their new free- dom from worries. Finally after a musical flourish the modest players of The Promoters graciously appeared. The following scene showed Frank Chandler kneeling on the floor looking beseechingly into a girl's face. Was he proposing? Ah, no, he was trying to collect the class dues.
