After she got the date, she had to get him long pants. He usually wore knickers. Her ease of getting in and out of trouble added up to one enter- taining evening.

TOP HATS AND CORSAGES Swish — a car zooms up in front of Ihe Marquette Pavilion and we see two couples step out dressed in formal attire. They walk slowly up the front walk and as they enter ihe door the lilting strains of Blue Moon reach them. Quickly they check their coals and hurry up to the dance floor. Gazing around they see all the beautiful gowns and the many familiar and new couples. After a few dances the room becomes hushed and everyone crowds around the bandstand. The crowning has begun.

YOU CAN ' T TAKE IT WITH YOU A gay and colorful ihree-act comedy presented by the Senior class was enthusiastically received. The cast did a good job in portraying the trials of a beautiful girl with an eccentric family. Life became even more complicated when she fell in love with her boss ' s son. As was expected, after many setbacks, all came out well. The Senior greasepaint gang kept the audience laughing, but at the same time put across their theme that you can ' t take it with you. The leads were taken by Delores Kmetz and Darrel Lauer and the whole cast did a fine job. The play was directed by Mr. Weldy.
