Auditorium Programs One of the best programs produced in the auditorium this year was the Christmas play, Trees. Another outstanding entertainment was the Sketch Program, and the Sketch movie, The Healer, starring Mickey Rooney. Instead of a class play the mid-term 9A's gave an interesting Variety Show. We enjoyed it very much. For the Thanksgiving program the Glee Club sang and several people gave speeches. One of the highlights of the Martin Boots social year was the I-Iallowe'en Carnival. A pantomime was the chief feature of the Auditorium show. We enjoyed all these pro- grams very muuch and wish to thank Mrs. Anderson, Mr. Hooker, Miss Stur- gis, Mr. Cushing, Mrs. Brown and everyone else who helped to make these programs a success. Class Play The 9A Class gave two one-act plays. Three's a Crowd, and The Unicorn and the Fish were presented. Three's a Crowd was a typical comedy, telling the hectic life of the modern boy and girl. Lynn Buchanan, Merrel Collin, Donna Ellis, junior Byington, and Jimmy Michos, all turned in very fine performances. Barbara Merritt was the prompter. The second play, The Unicorn and the Fish another comedy, tells the story of the homelife of the Foster family. A family crest, a unicorn and a fish, plays an important part in the dramatization. Dale McMasters, Dorothy Paden, Peggy Goebel, Lee Wiley and Eugene Packard all did exceptionally well. Mary Lou Sweet acted as prompter. WHICH Is Youn AGE?
