SENIOR CLASS PLAY By Jay Tobias A READY MADE FAMILY THE CAST Henry Turner, widower of 45 Ivan Quinn Agnes Martyn, a young widow Mary Weiandt Sammie Turner, who pretended lunacy Bill Bainbridge Doris Turner, a monomaniac Ellamae Hibbard Bob Martyn, subject to apoplectic fits Fred Knapp Marilee Martyn, a baby talker Myrtle Knapp Gracie Martyn, a mischievous brat Irene Reiff Lydia Martyn, Agnes' first husband's sister Eleanore Mattke Begonia Washington, a colored maid Virginia Pfost Nicodemus Pipp, a colored gardener Warren Bowlby SYNOPSIS This three-act comedy was given December 3, 1943, by the Senior class. It was an enjoyable play about two families, the Turners and the Martyns. Mr. Turner married Mrs. Martyn, and the hilarious attempts of the children of both families to have their respective par- ents get a divorce, was very diverting. The children think the couple married for one another's money. Aunt Lydia also does her best to break up the marriage by constantly talking about Horatio, Agnes's first husband. However the whole thing is finally straightened out and all live happily ever after.

iq- a I+. ,Lg-y4,na -fy JUNIOR CLASS HISTORY Our first year of high school! We were practically full-grown men- and women. But, alas, the only ones who did not share our new feeling of superiority were the upper-classmen-especially the Seniors, who had completely forgotten their own trials as Freshmen, and looked upon us as children. The Juniors were in- different, and the Sophomores, still remembering their own plights and grieviances as Freshmen, resolved to take it out on us. That's where initiation comes in. Each of us represented an occupation--supposedly our future occupation. All this was followed up by a Freshman- Sophomore party given by the Sophomores for the bene- fit of us Freshmen. We sponsored in that year a St. Patrick's Day Party, a sweater swirl, and various others. Our class advisor was Mrs. Mary Ann Loode, and our officers were as follows: President, Lois Fredericksg Vice-President, David Carlton, Secretary, Jack Abramsg Treasurer, Darlene Terrill. When we became Sophomores, we tried to out do our tormentors in the matter of Freshman initiation. Each Freshman represented a well-known movie-star. After this again came the Freshman-Sophomore Party at which we acted as hosts to the new Freshmen. That year we, with the Juniors, sponsored a Christ- mas Party using as our theme the song 'Tm Dreaming of a White Christmas. Our class advisor was Mr. Edward Dou-cette, and the officers were as follows: President, Beverly Smithg Vice-President, Carrol Rimes, who left the middle of the year, Secretary, Olive Burlewg Treasurer, David Carl- ton. Now as Juniors we began to see how simple and foolish we Were, and what a hopelessly long way we have to go before we will be considered adults. Our one great moment was the Junior Play. It was Murder lVlanison, a mystery-comedy. Our class advisor is Mr. Anthony Vonk. and the officers as follows: President, Weslee Clemens: Secre- tary, Norma Richardson: Treasurer, Jack Abrams. Our prom was May 53 the menu for the banouet included chicken pie. We used as our theme Spring- time, ' During the year our enrollment was decreased through the loss of Gerald Romig, Leone Wolfe, and Leo Hughes. -Mary Atherton
