The Senior Play The senior class presented the three-act comedy, “April’s Fool”, March 28, under the direction of Mrs. Gaskill. The play centered around scrappy old Grandpa and Grandma Duffy who were celebrating their fiftieth wedding anniversary. To the wedding celebration came their children, Etta and Homer Duffy Elizabeth Trevis and her daughter April. Complications arose in the fact that the old couple needed 82,000 to pay their mortgage—which amount seemed stupendous to the son and daughter who were to loan it. A love triangle was introduced in the characters of April and her two beaus, Ted Carter and Meridith Van Courtney % £ The preacher Elbert Phipps and his sister Widow Daggs added abundantly to the comedy. A particularly hilarious time was gained at the wedding scene in which the young preacher was given a “black shiner”, only to be consoled by the coy little maid, Amarilla I jf . A happy ending was achieved when Ted Carter gave the mortgage money to Grandpa and Grandma. Who won April? Why, Teddie , of course!

Our Past Green, insignificant—that is how the seniors labeled us four years ago. Wide-eyed, and filled with apprehension, we started on the road to higher education—eleven in all. Today, as seniors, we look back over four years of schooling, carefree, happy days of learning; four years for which we are grateful. Through the past four years many activities have added to the pleasure of school, such as, freshman initiation. How well we remember our garb. Dolled up in our mother’s oversized dresses with hats of fruit perched on our heads. The boys were clothed in knee pants, and of course, predominant color was GREEN!!! Outstanding in the junior year was our play, “Let Me Grow UP’’, and a Dutch banquet honoring the senior graduating class. During the senior year, we presented the play, “April’s Fool”, a comedy, to r. large audience. On May 3, the juniors entertained us at a nautical Junior-Senior banquet in the school gym. May 9, our class treked to Lincoln for Sneak Day, sneaking home again with the wee hours of the morn. The class was awarded a half holiday for twenty days attendance with no tardies. Dean and Jim McClat'-hey dropned from our class during the freshman year. When sophomores, Donna Lenz and Wayne Austir-enrolled while Ida Mae and Mary Lou Huelle departed to another school; as did Joan Stewart and Don Ballard in the junior year.
