SENIOR YEAR--THE PLAY One of the highlights of senior year is always the pro- duction of the senior play and this year was no exception. On November Z we prouldy presented Seventeenth Summer , a play based on the novel by Maureen Daly. The cast in- cluded Laura Homan as Angie, and George Edmunds as Jack, in the lead roles, ably supported by Dotty Jaster as Lorraine, Dotty Colburn as Margaret, Jane Lovering as Jane, Jean Weber as Margie, Phil Dow as Father, Betty Whipple as Mom, Janet Whitcher as Kitty, Kim Rich as Art, Vern Squires as Martin, Eliot Clemons as Fitz., Dick Wry as Tony, and Daila Ozolins as Rita. Other members of the class contributed greatly to the success of the performance by their work on tickets, business, posters, candy, scenery, lighting, make-up, pro- grams, sound effects. Prompting was well hand- led by Alberta Putney. ,mm-V. , 31 xii. 25

JUNIOR YEAR--PLAY AND PROM .Z During this helter-skelter junior year our little gang decided on a real dramatic adventure. One April evening Qbelieve it or notl we had a Mad Breakfast . It was in the form of a play which we presented with the freshman and sophomore plays. It was a big night for every- body. In our play things became so confusin' when Mr. Long QDick Wryj came to study psychology at Betty Whipple's boardinghouse, under the impression that all the boarders were a little on the nutty side. Mr. Jones QVern Squiresj and his accomplice lLaura I-Iomanj helped to create this impression and when Mr. Long really saw the boarders, Mr. Roberts fKim Richj, Dixie Barselle, Dotty Jaster, Jane Lovering, Eliot Clemons, and Jean Weber fthe maidj, he became very distrubed, though at the conclusion he discovered that they were reasonably sane after all. The junior prom was the big social event of the year. The atmosphere was of Springtime in the Park with a starry sky, old fashioned street lamps, and flowers amid the green foliage. Messer's Orchestra provided the music. The Grand March was led by president, Vern Squires, and Norma Oksa. Refreshments were served from the booth in one corner of the park. 24
