Namely they are our custodians Walter Gosser and Carl Arbuckle, In general their job in- volves that of the upkeep of our school building and premises and spring and fall cleaning. Because of them, we are proud of our attractive school. CUSTODIANS ' The custodians are assisted in their heavy work by several students. These boys sweep floors, empty wastebaskets, run errands, and help at such other miscellaneous jobs. Sometimes they even work overtime to keep our school neat and clean. They are as follows: Russell Roseberry, Frank Nose, Bob X'Vood,lIim Blake, and Paul XVillen. 7 SENIORS joan Crosby Love and Marrzage Not Pictured Deke , 'Y F10 Vkncegknewindy F02g0!

The time has come to bid farewell as the class of'57 walks out the doors ofM.H.S., only to look back on all those wonderful twelve years of memories. That first year we were greenies, scared to death but eager. It was pretty confusing at first, so many strange people and things, and of course, we imagined everyone was laughing at us. But we survived to the sophomore year. By this time we were well acquainted and didn't need a map to go from class to class. The way we Figured it, we were itg and. oh, those fun-filled class parties! As time whirled by we really thought we were big stuff. W'hy? Because we became the mighty juniors and that meant just one more step. This year was really a big one for us. Class rings were the highlight and, ofcourse, they were the sharpest yet. Our class play was a huge success. and we're proud to say that we are the tirst to make so much money on a school play. Now we were really living! Suddenly those Golden Gates opened, and somebody stepped out and said we were the seniors! VVhat a thrill, and what a time we've had! Let's see nowg we've taken trips to the Gen- eral Assembly and to White's Institute, had great class parties, attended the Track Dance for the fourth time. organized the Biggest and Best Pow Wow ever, attended the Junior-Senior Prom and enjoyed the greatest vacation ofall - Senior W'eek! We traded senior pictures, ordered caps and gowns, sent out invitations and name cards, and worked very hard - then it came. The class of 1957, largest ever to graduate from the consolidated Mississinewa building, has successliilly been added to the oflice files, but the individuals are headed toward even greater victories.

A snapshot contest was held this year to secure pictures. Bar- bara Dailey, Paula Sutphinhjanet Kirby, Shirley Leonard, Freddie Sorg, Linda Ailman, and janet Poling have done a fine job. Selling ads for our 1957 -Pow Wow and collecting the money was the main objective ofthe ad- vertising stalf. Several pictures were placed in the ads as some- thing new this year in the way of interesting new buyers. To do the main selling of our annual Linda Ritchie, Jo Anne Mendenhall, Doris Griffin, Mark Hinant, Steve Dawson, Beverly Dilly. and Patty Hochstettler were chosen. The write-up committee had to keep their pencils sharpened and their minds clicking to find new ideas for telling the students of all the activities included in the Pow Wow. Chairman Lois Shugart and members Vicki Millspaugh, Saun- dra Webb,judy Tolle, and Elea- nor Baker were chosen for this job. 110 l The comical drawings and the musical scores used in this year's Pow Wow were ideas put on pa- per by the art committee. Mary Ellen Walkup, Trent Hiatt, Tom Brown, and Ellen Thompson were members ofthe Senior Class who put their unusual talents to work. Their clever ideas give spice. Have you ordered your Pow Wow? The cry was heard far and wide in school and out. The girls who are in charge of the direct sales to the public are Linda Hyatt and Sandy Elliot. For several weeks they could be found sitting in the hall patiently waiting for the orders to be registered. POW WGW MISSISSINEWA INDIANS! That was the main topic of the fellows on the sports staff. Gene Chandler and Elen Benson eagerly give forth to the readers the foot- ball team, basketball team, and track team and their excellent rec- ords. Both of these boys have par- ticipated in high school sports and therefore know about them First hand. WEEE x.?:l '!..:...l!z The job of getting all the pic- tures for the annual was left up to James French. He took pictures of the various convocations held dur- ing the school year and of several committees. Jim belongs to the Photography Club so he is well qualified for this job. PGW WOW The question is What color is this year's Pow lVow? The answer-MUM. ul-low many pages will it have? MUM! Everyone likes surprises so the seniors tried to make this a big one. A big- ger, better annual was highly anticipated. Cf course, this is the goal of every Sen- ior Class but the 1957 class believes theirs really is the best. They spent many hours working and planning the Pow Wow with Mrs. Sullivarfs help. All the committees tried to do their best to put out a good product. The editors, Phyllis Roark, Sarah Neely, Lois Grubb, Albert Frymier, and jerry Lem- ons, and the rest of the seniors are proud of their work. 112 4 + Q X f GU 5 W M 'Zig P Y' WOR QA A TH 'YNYWQE 700 Q 31 Q nngruiulutiuus to lhe CIBSS ol BOTTLED UNDER Aumonrrv or THE cocA-coLA coMPANv sv COCA-COLA BOTTLING C NY OF PORTLAND.

He too is to be con- gratulated for ajob well done. Trying to place himself in the shoes of a disturbed lad. he has become well-loved as a source of advice. Besides counseling, his main duties involve recording daily attendance and acting as disciplinarian when the need arises, Sullivan and Mruloseph Smalley. Mrs. Sullivan has in every way fulfilled ajob that involves tact, friendliness, wise coun- sel, and patience. Many a troubled stu- dent has been uplifted in heart and in- spired by her kind advice. Although her job involves quite a bit of work, she does it cheerfully and to the very best of her ability. l...w?mSM V.- zwmimwai 2 A . .. . . a.Qy'i ' x . V' .W .

These faithful ofhcers are President, Russell Bruchg Vice President, Roger Hundleyg Secre- tary. Marilyn Parker, Treasurer, Marcia Hewitt, Reporter, Thelma McKelleb. Of course, the of- ficers were supported by three very capable sponsors who were Mr. Gene Gardner, Mrs. Jean Friend, and Nlr. Byron Arrick. Of course. the ordering of class rings which were the best looking yet and the planning of the Prom are always the most important events which take place, and which all underclassmen look forward to. Besides these each student also had a chance to do his part by taking care of all the coke and candy sales at both the football and basketball games. Their class play, The Happy Vagabond , and class parties also added to make a very joy- ful and complete year. 18 X .

That was the ery of the sophomores during the first semester. Of course, they were talking about one of their two class parties. The Farmers' Party was held on January 16 and the second semester party was held on April 5. The majority ofthe sophomores attended these parties and a good time was had by all. Mrs. Redden and Mr. Charles Meyer helped the sophomores over their problems and they were present to answer all questions which would arise concerning this class. Sweaters were received the year before and rings will be obtained next year, so this year was dedicated mostly to hard work. W'hat is usually termed an off year has been turned into an on year by the 1956-57 Sophomore Class. SPIRIT might well be the motto of this class, for everything they do is seemingly done with much vim and vigor. The chosen officers of this Class are as lbllows: president, Irene Bourniqueg vice president, Don Daileyg secretarygjohn McPherson: treasurer, Mike Lucas: and reporter, Paul Willen. 22 . 1- A' ' 3 V t. 1 4 .J A 'x 'X ' ' ' 1 x i - A f' is ' F1 X i - I X L P?

Starting at the bottom rung ofthe ladder the freshmen have gradually taken a few steps and caught a glimpse into the future ahead. XN'ith the intent of someday reaching the top they have studied hard and enjoyed extra -curricular activities to the fullest. Not only have they been given the opportunity to develop mental powers but also have they learned that by conquering self' they are better able to get along with fellowmen and thus become good citizens. Mr. Fisher, the class sponsor, is assisted in leading the group by presidentulim XN'atsong vice president, Bob Myersg secretary, Louis Atkinsong treasurer, Anita Smootg rcporter, Ann Johnson. Sometimes it has been hard for the freshmen to get adjusted to high school life. They have had to take the criticisms and jokes of upperclassmen and deal with the problems of making and keeping friends and getting along with their teachers. Advisors Miss Haak, Nliss Lucht, Mr. McKee, and Mr. Treber have assisted troubled students along these lines. 27 FRESHMEN Eddie Ailman Phillip Alleman Larry Armstrong Louis Atkinson Loren Bagley Marita Bandy Garland Bennett Juanita Bennett Mary Ann Booker Douglas Bosworth Lewis Bosworth Robert Bothwell Marjorie Briles Jay Briggs Kay Brodt Steve Burt Von Bussert Sandra Campbell Keith Castillo Roselyn Clark Rebecca Colyer Judy Coe Mary Columbus Sue Columbus Larry Colyer Larry Corn Peggy Couch Mary Cragun Dale Craig Carole Crosby Leah Crosby Caroline Dawson William Day Joseph Dean Judy DeBonis 28 , fa, nw ,., .av , ' v,.,. ga i 1 A., w ff' Ki S it X .. . it LX ,f ,, lx.

They wound up in the winning column with a winning percentage of .6U0. They got off to a flying start by win- ning their first four games, but then they came to the seemingly unsurmountable obstacle. Royerton. The team's oflensive and defensive deployments were headed by the tenacious line led by Captain jack Stace. and such backfield heroics as Senior Quarterback Mike Burke's aerial assault and the ground gaining ability oli the-Iunior Left Halfback Bob King, of whom a lot is ex- pected next year, Also let us not overlook our coach, Mr. Fisher, for as in most teams in competitive athletics a great deal of the credit forthe tc-am's success goes to the coach and his staff. All in all this season, though not outstanding. was a commendable one and we feel these boys have earned and justly deserve a lot of credit lor their work this season. The boys on the M.H.S. Brteam also held up their end of the bargain by ending the season with an even .500 mark. They won three and lost three. Their last game which was to be played with Wabash was canceled, The little Indians' biggest win was the second meet- ing with Royerton when they beat them 7-6. Earlier in the season Royerton downed the B-teamers 20-7. A A fn These two boys. Bob X'Vright and Dennis Johnson, as sophomores were the student managers for the M.H.S, football team this season. Both of these boys put in a lot of hard work taking care ofthe suits and equipment and deserve the credit that few managers ever get.

They have charge of all news story assignments and making up page one. Although quite busy most of the time, the girls have managed to do a fine job. VVorking together to make up page two were Fea- ture Editor Saundra Webb and Assistant Feature Editor Freddy Sorg. These girls assigned the features such as humor, editorials, cartoons, and other articles on the en- tertaining side. The goal of these girls was to encourage originality and give the paper a lighter side. 42 Linda Hyatt and Doris Griffin served dependably as Organizations Editor and Assistant Organizations Editor this year. The girls took charge of assigning all stories about organizations and activities for page three. They worked systematically and well together in making the paper a success.

These two fellows have made sports an interesting attraction plus giving com- ments on the world of sports through their column. Pictures for the Smoke Signal were handled skill- fully by its photographers, Shirley Leonard and Mark Hinant. These people strived for clearness, contrast, and interesting pictures.

Paula Sutphin and Albert Frymier took charge of Advertising Management for their paper. This job is a responsible one consisting of distributing ad papers and taking care of money.

The rnain goal of our cheerleaders is to unite the entire student body in support of their team. That is a big order, but our cheerleaders have done a good job. They have worked especially hard with the Pep Club at the weekly meetings they have had. They are Constantly trying to im- prove themselves and the Pep Club.

The boys felt that they were supported faithfully and loyally at each game. 49 PEP CLUB Ou-3 efeis Oxfo -5, 4? , . The Pep Club and their sponsor, Miss Ramona Lueht, have shared the hope of having the best pep club in this area. It is never good to feel you have reached your goal, but they have gone a long way in meeting it. At the present there are 135 members. Their ideal has been to have an active, orderly, considerate, cheering block which would cheer the team to victory. Approximately sixty Pep Club members went as a cheering block to the Lafayette Holi- day Tourney. Their school spirit was commented on by the schools present there. This is what 50 f ,, ali PEP CLUB T Pi ' Yv f-Jw .

The Pep Club by this example has demonstrated good sportsmanship in action and has added interest to the games for those attending.

I 53 BASKETBALL ll Sa 'W F Wm ww Everyone should be proud of these boys on the varsity basketball team though they didn't bring home some of the top honors. This team finished with a rather remarkable record of twenty wins and three losses. Each and every one of these boys held his own against strong foes and surprised many a team by his superb rebounding and accurate scoring. One ofthe most glorious victories for the Indians this past season was the win over their old rival, Hartford City. The Tribe demoralized the Airedales by 13 points. The Indians also met another old time rival at the end of the season. More than likely everyone remembers this game. It was the clash between the Indians and Giants in the final game ofthe Marion Sectional Tourney. The Giants took top honors by downing the Tribe 68-62, You can see what we mean when we say the Indians held their own. Their biggest mar- gin in defeat this season was six points. 5-I BASKETBALL This year the B-team record was perhaps not as impressive as in the past but these boys showed lots of spirit and hard work during the season. They were handicapped by some of their players being moved up to the varsity and the line-up was continually being changed in search of the best combinations and the true abilities of these boys. There is no need to look down on the record for soon the task of upholding the Ivlississinewa tradition will rest upon these shoulders and we feel sure that they will strengthen with the coming responsibility. lN'e expect a lot from these boys and if they will use their talents and maintain their high spirits, we need not be disappointed in them in the time to come.

It is an expression of joy, solemnity, grief, and excitement. We are like a great orchestra under the direction of a great con- ductor for the production of beautiful, harmonious music. The director, who knows his music well and is primarily interested in bettering the musical expression of his instrumentalists, is a symbol of our faculty. With every student a player in this orchestra, each indi- vidual is important, for the tone quality of his instrument affects the harmony of the composition. Skilled workmen have tested and proved our musical instruments, our books. Rehearsal for life's work is ending. We are embarking on our recital tour. How well we sound to the world will in a measure be determined by how much we have accomplished and learned here. When the last waning note has echoed in the distance, it is the sincere hope of the Class of 1957 that we shall be remembered for our diligent efforts. This book is thereby dedicated to those following us that they might derive from its pages the joys, sorrows, and excitements we have experienced. 5 ' , . at Q X aff N-.........,, K.

In spite of their record these boys worked hard all season long under the able leadership of Coach Charles Townsend. Many of these frosh will be Hghting later for berths on the varsity squad. For most of these boys this was the tirst year in stiff competition. But this rugged competi- tion, we hope, will help them in the years to come. Freshman Schedule lVI.H.S.

The members of the Photography Club keep on their toes for good snaps of the school events, social func- tions, or anything of interest to themselves. The capable guiding hand of Mr. Meyer is ably assisted by the officers of this organization who are president, Russell Baskettg vice president, Bill Mitchellg secretary, Richard McKellebg treasurer, Trent Hiatt, and reporter, jerry Cox. The specific objectives of this group are to form a social group of students with a com- mon interest in photography, to provide opportunity for the instruction of members in various photographic problems, and to encourage other students to take up photography as a hobby.

They are aided in leading the group by sponsor Mr. Pete McKee. Elected by a majority vote, they have completed a successful year of answering problems and filling in as projectionist when the need arises. The projectionists, on the whole, are to be com- mended for giving of their services to the school. By knowing the mechanism of the projector they have furnished us entertainment and knowledge through the medium of films. Teachers, ignorant of the operation of such a complicated piece of machinery, are grateful for their skillful help, and it also furnishes them the opportunity to stay in their respective classrooms and discuss a few important points while the film is being set up. Anyone with a slight interest in mechanics and a willingness to help others is encouraged to join the organization.

In appreciation for their serv- ices, they are given a free meal each day. Working in the dishroom are Sarah White- man, Jim Whiteman, Nancy Isenhour, Tom Nelson,John Nelson, Gene Martin, Betty Ket- ring, Laura Hockett, LeDean Williams, Bob Woods, Roselyn Clark. Certainly we, as a student body, feel in- debted to our cooks Bertha jacks, Lucille Sut- phin, and Emily Turner for providing us with good eating which is so much a part of good health. They sometimes even work overtime at such tasks as preparing meals, making out menus, ordering foods, serving and cleaning up, and assisting at bean suppers, banquets, and Fish fries. Those working in the dining room are Rus- sell Bruch and Bob Wright, cashiers, John Sutphin, in charge of extra milk and sand- wichesg Marcia Zirkle, Mary Ann Isenhour, jackie O'Brien, and Margaret Nuss, at the steam tablegjuanita Bennett, back table, David Zirkle, Walter Werner, Russell Roseberry, miscellaneous jobs. LIBRARIANS The librarians Qfrom left to rightl are Leander Gould. Sandra W'ood, Ma1'vin Persinger, Nancy Barton, and Albert Frymier. They help Mrs. Cleo Terrell with her various duties in the library during the morning. Besides helping the students check books in and out. they keep the books straight in the shelves and so on. Larry McNutt. Linda Jones, Kyle McNutt and Donnie Welton are M1'S. Terrell's after- noon librarians. They have much the same duties as the morning librarians with the exception that in the morning the daily newspapers have to be put out on a table. This is a minor duty, but one of importance. Charles Ryan was absent when the picture was taken. A small office just off the second floor corridor is the home ofthe girls who work in the Deans' Ofhce. They take up the absentee slips and record those absent from classes. Lois Shua gart, Beverly Sklenar, Eleanor Baker, Kay Dawalt. Beverly Dilley. and Marilyii Linvill are serving in this capacity for the 1956-57 school year. To assist Mr. Meyer and Mrs. jones in the Principal's Office and to prove themselves of good use are the aims of these girls who help each period, Running errands and straightening the office files are familiar duties of these capable girls. Girls from the office procedure class take turns helping out. ieyvi V A1142 ,gl , X I up on 3 5.9, UUL Ii a BAND In the brass section ofthe band there are such instruments as the Cornet, trumpet, French hom, mellophone, trombone, and bass horn. This consists of over half the band. The band has another section called the woodwind section. Here we have just two in- struments, the Clarinet and the flute. This consists of at least a quarter of the hand. 67 In the percussion section of the band there are three types of drums, the kettle drums, snare drums and bass drums This IS just a small percentage of the band but it can make the Under the supervision and direction of Mr. john Maxson, the band this year was a tremendous success. Besides being a group that goes after its music whole-heartedly, it is one that can be depended upon. At every home football and basketball game the band was there, dressed in its red and white uni- forms, and either marching at half-time or playing before the games started. For the Christmas show, it formed a Christmas tree and sleigh, and besides these there was a bicycle, cannon, cradle, and other formations. Letters representing our school and the opposing schools were also formed. For a few of its other interesting experi- ences, there was a trip to Purdue, the Ko- komo festival, the spring concert, Qwhich was held herej, and the annual Halloween parade. Knowing our national anthem and the school song wasn't enough, they also man- aged to learn many popular songs. As you can see, being a band member was no easy job. Some people think they are an important part of the band and others don't, but if you happen to ask one of the four twirlers, you would quickly change your mind from the latter. They don't play any music, but they keep the rhythm going! W? . .LV A x. , ,,., fl A.

Its colors of red, white, and blue exemplify sacri- Fice, purity, and loyalty. With the purpose to create, maintain, and extend throughout the home, school, and community high standards ofChristian character, it is capably sponsored by Mrs. Ter- rell. She is assisted by the following officers: Pmvizlent - Pat Richesong Vine President - Sandra Woodg Secretary- Treasurer A Nancy Bartong Chap- lain - Rebecca Shugart. This organization has sponsored the dance for the Hrst home basketball game and also partici- pated in the Christmas and World Day of Prayer programs. To raise money for a worthy project, the girls sold spool-holders to homemakers and other interested friends. 5 oF ' va J, 40 it 0005 HAND 4 'J ill 72 The aim ofa Hi-Y member is to do the best he can in study, speech, and sports, in the devel- opment of Christian personality, and in service to make life most worthwhile for himself and his associates. The Hi-Y Club follows the slogan of Mclean speech, Clean sports, clean scholarship, and clean living. Under the good leadership of president, Larry Cragung vice-president, Bill Mitchellg and secre- tary-treasurer, Russell Bruch, it has been recog- nized as a Hne asset to our school community. Sponsor lVIr. Harry F. Treber has accomplished much in the way of inspiring interested boys to join a club with high ideals and Christian stand- ards. Its main activity has been that of furnishing basketball programs for the home games. HI-Y G00 , Offs . . fp 73 H. A. ' 5 34 The officers for F. H.

Mrs. Uva Ritchie is club mother and Miss Frances Smith is clubsponsor. The club's motto, utoward new horizons, ex- presses the purpose of the organization - learning to live better today in order that our lives and those of our families may be better tomorrow. The red rose is the club flower. From it the ideal may be expressed. The rose is symbolic of vibrant, glowing health which contributes to hap- piness and efiiciency in home and group life. The future plans for the club include recrea- tional programs for parents and friends. Although specific plans are set and dates chosen, this re- organized club is a little slow to really become ac- tive. However. oflicers and sponsors have great hopes for a well rewarded future. 74 35 000:36- w T 4' J' S' - The club this year has chosen the following as their officers: President, jo Anne Mendenhall: Vice President, Richard Mcliellebg Secretary, Thelma McKellebg Treasurer, John Nobleg Re- porter, Floyd Grifiith.

Her Pappy, Tony Dunham, Mammy, jo Anne Mendenhall, sister Violet,Judy Tolleg and Aunt Marthy, Sandy Elliott, make up the house- hold. To the hills comes the city' slicker, Mark Hinant, and a woman companion, Anne Robinson. They are land swindlers with a handsome reward over their heads. Toby Snodgrass, Jerry Lemons, who everyone thinks is a fool, is studying to be a detective and begins to spy on them. Little Nellie is wooed and infatuated by the city slicker in order for him to get a huge coal supply from the Beard's land. Young Dan Tucker, Jim Atkinson, is thrown over by Nellie. The deed', is gotten by the city slicker, but it turns out to be merely an advertisement. Everyone comes back to his senses and at last the crooks are found out. It's their first date, but Paul, Albert Frymier, can't see any sensible reason why he shouldn't give Jane, Sarah Neely, a good night kiss. In fact he declares that she is being ridiculous. The curtain rises with Mr. and Mrs. Anderson, Steve Dawson and Linda Ritchie, worrying about Janels being out so late. Mother has been reading an article about the wild generation and she is becoming frantic. The young couple enter, and they've had a wonderful time. However,Jane's parents have misunderstood their innocent conversation and jane and Paul have a difficult time explaining. The relieved parents leave, but now that the subject of kissing has been brought up Paul sees no harm in it. Janels older sister Mary, Joyce Cardwell, only complicates the matter more. The wonderful evening is spoiled and it looks like theylll never see each other again, but in an uproarious reversal, everything works out. Mrs. Drexel Blake, Phyllis Roark, who has social ambitions, rents the old-fashioned residence belonging to the Kingsley Estate. ' She is planning to move in tomorrow and wants her colored maid, Eleven Moore, Marlyn Cardwell, to help her with the cleaning. Eleven is late, and while waiting for her to come the lights go out, pistol shots are heard, and all sorts of weird happenings occur. Attracted by the noises, officer Jerry Nolan,jim Briles, arrives and takes charge. He sus- pects the work of the White Phantom, a notorious criminal terrorizing the neighborhood. Eleven finally arrives and while left in the living room is confronted by the 6'White Phantom itself. This is one of the funniest scenes ever written into a play. All clues retold by Eleven relate to Curt Frazier, Larry Fansler, who is in love with Mrs. Blake's daughter, Marion, played' by Marcia Hewitt. There are situations between Mrs. Blake and her society rival, Mrs. Frazier, Eleanor Baker. Before this hilarious and gripping night is over, the family regrets Ethan Sharp's, Richard McKelleb, leasing this old house to the Blakes. 77 DRAMATICS CLUB ACT WELL YOUR PART, THERE ALL THE HONOR LIES That is the motto ofthe Thespians. The club is made up of seventy members this year, which is the biggest club we have had. The events ofthe club were many this year. The speech contests seemed to be the most popular event. It seems that we have some very good orators among us at M. H. S. This is the second year for our own speech contest held here at old M. H. S. Anyone is eligible to be in it if he has a speech, Qoriginal or already writtenj poems, or a Bible reading. There was a very good turn out from the other schools this year. The Sweetheart Banquet is always a very exciting event held around Valentinels day each year. The entertainment this year for the banquet consisted of UThe Dixie Cats, an in- strumental group from our own school. They also had a guest from Taylor University with them. Next on the agenda came the three one-act plays, All members usually participate in one way or another, either by using their acting ability, or by performing on the various com- mittees which keep things hopping. Quite a few ofthe Thespians worked hard to earn Thespian points to add stars and bars to their Thespian honors. If you ask any member of the club, I think he will say it has been very enjoyable and exciting this year. The Dramatics Club had the great honor of becoming Troup No. 656 of the National Thespian Society. The charter was handed to the Co-Presi- dents,judy Tolle and jerry Lemons on October 2 by Mr. Hengstler. The other officers elected were Joyce Cardwell, secretaryg Rose Ellen Smithson, treasurer, Sarah Neely, reporter: sergeant-at-arms, Tom Berry, and librarian, Thelma McKelleb. The club felt that they owe all the credit to gtg fl their wonderful sponsor, Miss Hazel Fern Evans. 78 .y 1 , ' Na A ' ,QIQN-XX M L 1 X 11. View from the library window: 12.

On this trip he meets many different types of human nature, and it is just this mixture of characters that makes the play a delightful and enter- taining comedy. LQ 19. li Hold still and close your eyes. The make-up com- mittee is at it again. Molly Nesbitt, Patty Martin,jean Poling, and Kathie McKinney had the job of making the cast up to suit the demands of the play. This job had variety and interest and although the girls were ama- teurs the effects were eye-catching. f 4 The double cast adds a touch of variety to the play and prods each person to do his best. The hard- working practices turned out to be almost as much fun as opening night, with their laughter, jokes, and wholesome fun. As it is with plays, it's always sad for the characters to see it all come to an end. Vik T 9' Q ., 'Q-H J X. t The stage managers, Bob Wood, David Drollinger, and Paul Shaneg were busy members of the troop. They took care of all business concerning the scenery, furni- ture, lighting, and Hxtures. In a way this group made up the controlling factor ofthe play and its success. 81 TRACK This year's track team started the season with all the odds against them. The late spring snows, ice storms, and frequent rains made practice impossible for several weeks. Then, too. the boys out for track this year were mostly freshmen and newcom- ers lacking experience. In spite of these handicaps, with the able coaching of Mr. Smalley and the valuable experience of several seasoned veter- ans, the team performed admirably. They are to be congratu- lated for their fine efforts. 1957 TRACK SCHEDULE 82 Track Coach Joseph Smalley worked hard against big odds this year to produce a Fine track team for 1957.
