lilllllll Elllllllllllff CSENIOR CLASS PLAYJ MAYl5,l95l Professor Relyea and his pupil, Phillip Stanton, are attempting to find the Elixir of Youth, They carry on many experiments on an old dog in the professor's laboratory. They are finally convinced that they have succeeded in finding the Elixir after someone takes the old dog and replaces it with a young puppy. After this phenomenal success they look around for a human guinea pig on whom they can use the Elixir and finally select General Bur- beck, who is in love with the Professor's daughter, Sylvia, and whom she has refused because he is too old. To complicate matters Sylvia is also Phil's girl and so he is most anxious to try the Elixir on the General. They give the General a bottle of the Elixir, which he accidentally spills. They think that he has drunk the whole bottle and when a baby is found in the chair where the General was sitting the Professor believes the Elixir really has worked. He then tries to figure out a way to get the General back to normal. Later on the Professor's daughter disappears, leaving behind her a neighbor's baby for whom she has been caring. The Professor becomes extremely worried when he finds his daughter gone for he thinks she has drunk the Elixir also. The Professor is almost arrested for all these happenings which everyone thinks he has caused. Things are finally straightened out when the General and Sylvia return and people have claimed their respective babies. Professor Relyea is very much disheartened though because he has to start his experimenting all over again. CAST Professor Frederick Relyea ...........................

llllllllll-Elllllli lllllilll 111 ljllllll A GAY NINETIES PARTY Saturday, May 12, 1951, six-thirty o'clock Doesn't the theme, A Gay Nineties Party, suggest a gay party atmosphere? The Junior Class thought so after they had looked through and considered several different themes. For the first time, the idea of having a Prom to follow the Banquet was introduced. The committees hired a band, not only to play dance music for the Prom, but also to play dinner music for the Banquet. The Gay Ninety theme was carried out in the decorations and table appointments. A real old-fashioned fireplace was set up at the east end of the gym, with some old pictures hung on either side of it, An improvised stage occupied the west end of the room, the cen- terpiece was a spring with some love seats around it, a large chandelier with a spotlight in it hung down over the centerpiece, coal-oil lamps lighted the tables, place cards, pro- gram-memory booklets, and nut cups were all in Gay Ninety designs, favors were candle holders and pastel colored candles, and the seniors' colors-blue and white-were used wherever color could be used. The gym was reduced to room-size by means of a lattice-work ceiling made with blue and white paper, and the sides were hung with pastel streamers which blocked off the Stagg on the south and the bleachers on the nort .
