HA I ' v r Class Poem Our stage has been at Milan High, Our task, a four act play. The final curtain has drawn nigh, We'll tell of it today. As Extras, the first act Was found both new and strange, We, with the turning of each page Adjusted to the change. The second act went fleeting past. We read CAESAR--nThe Die is Cast.H As bright, new Starlets we were known, The seeds of learning here were sown. Understudies, our Junior year, We planned the Theatre's Ball. A play in a play was introduced: MEN ARE LIKE STREETCARS was produced. In robes of blue we stood in line, Stars at last--All Eighty-nine. The final curtain fell all too soon, Oscars were given the seventh of June. And now that the title of Stars we've won, The real test of talent has just begun We'll greet the world with our heads held high And look each new role straight in the eye. The curtain is downg we're on our way Into the world--And a bigger play.

Now we had won the title of HStars.N We had several money-making projects: magazine sales, Christmas wreaths, and the concession booth at the foot- ball and basketball games. The Journalism Banquet and Dance was held on November 25. The dance was open to all actors of the theatre. The theme was nBlue Moon.n The Homecoming Game was a big occasion for the seniors.

We adopted a point system by which members of the class could receive points for work they did in class activities. At the end of the senior year the points will be added and it will be decided how much money each student will receive towards his senior trip. At all home basketball games the class sponsored a hat-and-coat check stand. This, also, was something new, and seemed to go over very well. On January 28, the class sponsored a record hop with Ollie's Caravan from Ann Arbor. In spite of the weather there was a lot going on at the dance. This project proved to be a big success. The Junior Class did a fine job on their play this year, which was S HCheaper By the Dozen.H This project provided an enjoyable and entertain- ing evening for both the class and audience. sta rlets c u 0 Q 0 1 0 Row l C J Row Q21 L J J Row C31 L D C Bissell, A.

We have interesting guest speakers, such as Mr. Ross, Professor Sweet University of Michigan, Louise Delaverdac, Yolanda Scodellaro, Maung of Burma. At Christmas time we went caroling, took part in the annual Christmas Assembly, and sent nCareu packages. During the basketball season we earned money by selling ice cream bars at the games. On January 13, the Language Club sponsored a dance after a game. This year we decided to purchase Language Club pins for all the members. The Language Club purchased a portable record player which may be used by the entire high school. This gift will be appreciated and en- joyed by everyone . Row Clk L. Uranga, K. Smith, V. Wanty, B.
