CLASS OF NlNE'l'ljEN FORTY--lilGl-l'l' On December 5th with a full house staring at us we successlully staged the three act comedy Ever Since Eve , starring Robert Iones as an ordinary high school student and editor ot the school paper. Nice Work, Bob. Other leading roles were played by an experienced cast including Ianet Streeter, Richard Hildreth, Mary Frazier, Henry Doody, Francis Kendall, Newell Whitaker, and Natalie Birt. Beverly Fontaine, William Stoddard, and Theresa Lawton scored hits in their debut as the gossipy kid sister, the digniiied high school principal, and the charming journalism teacher. Cn December l9 We held our annual Christmas Dance and again the Assembly Hall was beautifully arrayed with lighted Christmas trees, evergreen wreaths, and other holiday decorations. The music was furnished by Frankie's Swingsters. Our Senior Record Dances have been most successful. Thanks a lot, seventh and eighth graders. Since I am writing this in Ianuary, l can only prophesy that because of our splendid record our future activities, including the much publicized Class Trip, the play tournament, Murdock Night, and of course Commencement, will un- doubtedly be crowned with success.
