FOR ITS STUDENTS YEARS AGO, DEMOSTHENES SENIOR CLASS PLAY Gertie's Uncle was in Milbank on April 5 when the senior class presented their class play in the high school auditorium. Gertie's Uncle was the female version of Charley's Aunt with confusing and baffling events taking place throughout the play. As Gertie said in the beginning of the play, It sounds completely mad to me, but crazier things than this have gone through without mishap — maybe we'll be lucky. Their luck held to the tune of $345, net proceeds for the play. Standing: R. Kasuske, L. Peschong, G. Elliott. Seated: M. Campbell, A. Siewert, Judy Tillman, S. Berkner, J. Trapp, G. Dailey. Kissin' Cousins Let ME show you the garden. Maior! 13

JUNIOR CLASS PLAY A Date With Judy, a threc-act comedy, was presented by the junior class on Novem- ber 30 in the high school auditorium, under the direction of Mr. Sly. The plot of the play revolved around Judy Foster and her family. Judy (R. Sawrey) and her friends entangled in a mad C3mpaign to beat Tootsie Whiteman, her arch rival, and anything and everything happened. Judy entered her unsuspecting father (L. Swan), by accident, of course, in the Stay- Kissed contest. Poor Mrs. Foster (B. Larson) was entered in the Glinto Hair Dye contest, all of which was quite amusing to Randolph (P. Fabel), Judy's sarcastic little brother. Judy's plan to beat Tootsie and become queen of the ball, led to much confusion, especially on the part of Oogie (L. Crowl), Judy's faithful boyfriend. However, Judy finally did become the queen of the ball, Oogie won a date with Judy, and the junior class netted over $370 for their class treasury. This is it! Just what we needed. Kissable! Who, me? 12

'PRACTICED WITH A PEBBLE UHDER HIS TONGUE’ Mary Burges and Sharon Berkner (debating negative) with Jim Randall, Dan Kennison, and Virginia Dailey (affirmative) began the debate season this year by winning the First Place Trophy in the opening tournament at SDSC in Brookings. At the University Speech Tourna- ment the MHS'ers again added to the win column as the affirmative crew came home the only undefeated team among teams from three states. In the Midwest Tourney at August- ana the debaters ranked fourth behind larger schools in Lincoln, Nebraska, Watertown, and Sioux Falls. Decisions were awarded both nega- tive and affirmative all year as Milbank's debat- ers argued the merits of 90% parity price sup- ports for our country's major agricultural pro- ducts. The experienced debaters won more than 70% of their debates and the inexperienced 60% to record an expectional season. Experienced Debaters Left to right: G. Dailey, J. Randall, D. Kennison, M.
