Senior Class Play The Seniors of the Class of ' 50 shall never forget the evenings of December 2 and 3, 1949, for it was on these two nights that the senior class play was presented at the Town Hall at 8:00 p.m. Although there never was a perfect attendance at rehearsals and many lines were omitted both nights, the play provided plenty of laughs for an evening ' s entertainment and disclosed to the public future actors and actresses. The play was about Professor I. J. Allen, who is a meek, mild, timid, and ex- tremely absent-minded little man. It is his birthday and his wife decides to cele- brate it with a surprise party to be given at their summer cottage. When the pro- fessor arrives at the cottage alone, he accidentally meets two crooks who have stolen a valuable statue of Niobe from a nearby town. They force him to become an accomplice and help them hide the statue in the cottage from Hiram Hummel, the local constabule, and the state troopers, who are scouring the countryside. When the guests finally arrive, Imogene, a young girl with dramatic ambitions, dons a classic Grecian costume and plays the role of Niobe to convince the others that she is a great actress. You can imagine the fun-making complications that occur when Imogene plays the role of Niobe so expertly that she not only con- vinces the professor, but the two crooks, also, that she is the statue of Niobe come to life, as in the old play. All of the guests become more or less embroiled with the two crooks, the real statue, and Imogene. Finally, the crooks are surrounded by state police and they hold the guests in the cottages as hostages. But, it ' s the professor who solves the difficulty, unconsciously, of course, and brings the thieves to justice. The cast was as follows: Professor I. Q. Allen, the absent-minded professor William Clarke Mrs. Allen, his wife Shirley King Z. Templeton Barr, a crook Derek Little Snatch Bazonie, his accomplice Donald Carlson Biff Terry, a football player Vincent Ferrini Davey Brewer, a college student David Rocha Hiram Hummel, the constable Robert Becker Lillian Brewer, engaged to Biff Lydia Fales Betty Ann Mason, Mrs. Allen ' s sister Lucille Teixeira Imogene Gene, who wants to be an actress Betty Drane Kate Cole, reporter on the college paper Dorothy Marcure Sadie James, her friend Patricia Eschmann Student Council The Student Council of Norton High School functioned again this year under the guiding hand of Mrs. Jean Findlater. At the beginning of the year, spirited conventions were held to elect Student Council officers, the results of which were: ? resident , Vincent Ferrini Vice President Derek Little Secretary Lucille Teixeira Treasurer Yvonne Boisse

Student Council again had charge of the kinchroom clean-up this year. Two members are appointed to clean the lunchroom after recess for a certain period of time. After this time has elapsed, two more members are appointed. The Student Council is also arranging to put up bulletin boards in the school to keep students posted on happenings in N.H.S. One of the most notable things the Student Council did this year was to succeed in lengthening the recess period five minutes, which was greatly appreciated by all the students. The Council also has charge of the Memorial Day program which is presented this year. As usual, the members of Student Council attended two conventions, which always prove to be both interesting and entertaining. This year the conventions were held at Fairhaven, Massachusetts, on December 7, 1949, and at Somerset, Massachusetts, on April 15, 1950. The members of Student Council for 1950 include: Mary Camara, Betty Drane, Vincent Ferrini, Lucille Teixeira, David Rocha, Ernest Roy, Derek Little, Margaret Atkins, Charles Mosher, Yvonne Boisse, Mary Moniz, Malcolm Cheever, Jean Zwolensky, and Kit Knapton. Senior Class Trip It was Monday, April 17, at 7:51 a.m., when twenty-one members of the Senior Class and Mr. and Mrs. Irvin Fuller bade farewell to the Attleboro Depot and embarked for Providence. We boarded the 8:20 train to New York and spent an enjoyable four hours singing, playing cards, and eating our picnic on wheels. At 11:55 we left the train and transferred to a motor coach which took us through lower New York City and across the Hudson River on a ferry. The Sta ue of Liberty could not be seen distinctly, as it was quite misty. At one o ' clo ck v e boarded the train at Jersey City and arrived in Baltimore, Maryland at 4:55. We were met by a comfortable bus and taken to the Stafford Hotel, where we enjoA ed an appetizing dinner. We then serenaded our interesting and jolly bus driver on the way to Washington. He pointed out the many famous buildings, including the Congressional Library, Lincoln Memorial, Jefferson Memorial, Washington Monument, and the beautiful Capitol illuminated against the sky. A weary, but wide-awake group arrived at the Hotel Hamilton about ten o ' clock that evening. Most of us explored the building, unpacked, wrote cards, lost our way in the halls, and last, but not least, went to bed ( after being told to be a little more quiet by the house detective). Tuesday morning dawned sunny and extremely early! After a welcome breakfast in the Gold Room, we were on our bus bound for the Bureau of Engrax - ing and Printing, which we toured and saw the various processes money goes through before it is completed. We went to the top of the Washington Monu- ment and had an excellent view of Washington. The remainder of the day was spent in a tour of the Capitol ( where we had our group picture taken ) , the Smith- sonian Institute, the Pan American Union, and the F.B.I. Buildings, which we all agreed was one of the most interesting of all the buildings. That e ' ening, we had a grand time at Glen Echo Park in Maryland. Incidentally, there were a certain few of our girls who haunted the Roller Coaster six times! By Wednesday, a little of our pep had left us, needless to say. We packed and climbed into our bus and went to the Lincoln Memorial again, as man - of us wanted to see it in the day time and take pictures. We dro e through Fort Mm r and visited Arlington National Cemetery, the old and new Amphitheatres, and the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, where we saw the ceremony of changing guards. We continued to the Lee Mansion and went through it, also the sla e quarters; then on to Mt. Vernon, where we roamed the lovely grounds and saw
