TOURNAMENT SPONSORS The class of '51 had charge of selling advertisement space in the Perry C ounty B asketball Tournament program, which was published by Thornville High School in February. The spaces of one and one half by three and one half inches were sold to the following firms: Wilson's Grocery, and Ward's Confectionery, a C . M. Smith's Service Station, all of New Straitsville, and Grandy's Auto Supply, Logan Ohio. Members of the committee for selling the spaces were: Tillie McQuade, Marilyn Miller, Shirley Rushia, and Marian Smith. A profit of fifty percent was put into the class treasury. The Sophomores have had several people on the honor roll during the semester. They are as follows: first six weeks: Dorothy Angle, Barbara Boyd, and Marian Smith. Second six Weeks: Dorothy Angle and Marian Smith. Third six weeks: Dorothy Angle and Marian Smith. THE JUNIOR CARNIVAL The Juniors started the year right by giving their annual carnival. This was given on October ZZnd. With the help of Miss Tharp, Junior Class Advisor, we began work on the carnival. Donations for bingo prizes were contributed generously by the school patrons. Then We decided what other games were going to be had. Knowing that the prizes donated would not be enough, we bought other prizes such as: pottery, games, horns, etc. The next step was to start on a one act play entitled THE DUMMY . Five characters chosen by Miss Tharp were: Mrs. Hitchcock-B arbara Harris, Mr.. Hitchcock-Roland Pierce, Emma-Juanita B abbs, Policeman-Kenny Starr, T ed Mannings -Danny Forrester. Refreshrnents were under Miss Rye's supervision assisted by several parents. Since the Junior Class decided to have something different we secured the services of Professor Minnie, a fortune teller. After the carnival, Miss Tharp and Miss Rye were presented with red rose corsages. We hope that other classes in the future will have as much co-operation as we had. JUNIOR PLAY The Junior Class gave its annual play, Here Comes Charlie , on April 29th, under the direction of Miss Joan Tharp. It was a three act farce-comedy by Jay Tobias. Larry Elliott, a young broker thought he was to become a guardian of a small boy, but was jolted to find he had taken a girl to raise, seventeen and pretty. Charlotte is called Charlie, hence the error. Why the jolt? Well, Larry is engaged to the imperious Vivian Smythe-Kersey. Charlie arrives and starts calling Larry Papa , Larry takes her on a trip to try to change her from a hillbilly to a dignified lady. He succeeds and all ends well. HONOR ROLL Q During the first three six weeks period the Juniors have had several students on the honor roll. They are as follows: first six weeks period: Vernon Bourne and Doris Good. Second six weeks period: Vernon Bourne. Third six weeks period: Vernon Bourne and Doris Good. Z2
