Senior Play Smndifzgx Fridley Holcomb McNaney Little Fillingham Wentz 5'e4ted.' Cafaro Guy Bartran Finn Sabatini From the ranks of the Senior Class, several illustrious members were aptly chosen to emote before the footlights of Mynderse Academy in the Senior Play, The Bargain Bride. Under the able supervision of Miss Margaret Allen, the talents of our Thespians were developed with the result that we vvill always remember our blushing red-haired goddess Scotch, and our roving Lothario Wayne, Who, with the rest of the cast made our play a memorable occasion, tuned to the rollicking antics of the players and the echoing laughter and enjoyment of the audience. 4 Mynderse Went all out for the mystery-thriller, Ghost Wanted, which the Junior Class presented. Laurels went to Tommy Baker and Jimmy Fegley, playing Hugo Bromley and Jeff Hall. From the time our tvvo heroes applied for the job of haunting an island mansion, the plot moved swiftly, intro- ducing Hne comedy, a fevv 'izombiesf' and Brin Kissell as the monster. Romance entered when the tvvo boys savv Rita Capparelli and Joyce Scattaglia. The play was a success, thanks to the fine work of the cast, the committees, Miss Allen's excellent coaching and Norma Cline's last minute substitution.

Serious minded and grim faced, we the junior Class, with our heads packed full of book learning, look back with delight on the eventful year we have left behind us. . The beat of the orchestra drummer at our Junior Party was barely distinguishable above the clatter of numerous pairs of knees knocking and teeth chattering-after effects of our Spider-webbed Staircase and Chamber-of-horrors that were in keeping with our theme The Haunted House. Turning for a moment from the air of mystery prevailing at the party, we featured a fashion parade of today and yesterday. Every costume was shown from bathing suits to formals. Tom Baker, who is a really good sport, made his appearance in daring red flannels, straw hat, and a bushy raccoon coat. At the conclusion of the parade I think the majority of us were convinced that though odd, the fashions of today are tops. One of our spectacular achievements was an amateur show put on as an assembly program. Did we ever dig up hidden talent, and to this day we're sorry some of it was ever uncovered! We are glad that the students of Mynderse can still gaze upon Seneca Falls with an air of pride after our rendition of its discovery. But we brought down the curtain in hilarity as we had as our finale a group of boys garbed as girls in a song and dance. What grace those fellows possessed, namely Jim Fegley and Ferdinand Nicandri. Finding terrorizing the students of Mynderse such great fun, we decided to have another fling at it, therefore, we chose as our Junior Play Ghost Wanted. This starred such well-known juniors as Rita Capparellihloyce Scattaglia,Jim Fegley, and Tom Baker, to mention only a few. And it seems to be agreed upon that Alice Sullivan did a wonderful portrayal of the woman of mystery, Madame Zolga. .CLASS 0131946
