Ladies Of The Jury John Fekete strikes a dramatic pose as he ad- justs the lights for a Morton production. Bill Mixon and Donna Hudson seem to be more interested in each other than in the jury proceedings. However, Judy Cavanaugh, Allen Shike, John Fekete, Nancy Massengiile, Connie lliff. Bob Smalley, Janet Diehl, Bill High- land, Hershal Kohut, Leman Riley, and Carolyn Johnson, seem very intent on making some important decision. Ladies of the Jury, acclaimed by many to be the best-acted play ever presented, was the result only of many long, hard hours of tedious work. The fact that Don Heacox had to leave town the night of dress rehearsal and Bob Smalley was threatened with the measles served as a spice to the brew of opening night hysteria. The produc- tion of a play is a play within itself with emotional con- flict which rises to a climax with culmination of united ef- forts on opening night. Do you solemnly swear to tell the truth . . . states Tom Maloney to Cleona Fields as Eugene Peto presides and Janice Hanzi acts as court recorder. John Fekete? Lose a fight? It seems as if Allen Shike has just clouted him one, much to the amazement of Hershal Kohut, Judy Cavanaugh, Janet Diehl, and Connie lliff. 15

Since the Association Constitution limits to two the number of formal dances that may be scheduled dur- ing the year formals are a big affair around Morton High. On January 18, the senior class sponsored A Little Bit of Heaven and on May 31, the junior class sponsored Memories For Two. Who will ever forget the downpour the night of the Prom? Or the Coke parties? Or the canceled beach parties? Oh well, each of us had the consolation of knowing that everyone else was suffering the same damp misfortune as we. Aw right, now which way do we go?” say Virginia Chizmar, Jim Bradley, Margaret Beckett, Don Heacox, Carolyn Johnson, and Philip Jackson as they lead the Winter Formal Grand March. Jim Andrews and Kathy Zondor enjoy the re- freshments provided to them by Pauline and Bill Holifield the night of the Winter Formal. While Carole Rosenberger notices the sign at the entrance to ”A Little Bit of Heaven, Ken Bergner spots the camerman.
