L' ass flistory The winter months fled swiftly by and soon spring came. These months proved packed with thrills. The first thrill was the choosing of our Senior class rings. Then our junior Class play Another Spring a romantic comedy written by Priscilla Wayne and Wayne Sprague proved to be a still greater thrill. The prologue began in revolutionary days and the proceeding three acts were enacted in the present day. It was a beautiful love story of Nancy-Doris Boehm, and David-Glen Andrews: comedy was furnished by Sugar--Jane Kennedy, and Washington-Pat Tilley, two negro servants who were inclined to be that way about each other. The rest of the cast included Gay, an at- tractive, vivacious rival for David's love-Doris Clausen: Nancyis mother-Janice Garland: Miss Pendergast, owner of an Inn-Jeanne Wilson: Ben- jamin, David's brother-Normand Davies: Nelson Browning, Nancy's fiance-Vernon Wenger: Dr. Morden, a dignified understanding minister--Bill Murdock. Ship Ahoy was the cry of the Juniors. Im- mediately we set to work on the Junior-Senior banquet, carrying out the theme of a ship to the most minute details including gang plank, outer deck with stars, deck chairs, luggage and the Moon, port holes and life savers. It was undoubtedly a banquet that never has or ever will be surpass-- ed. Forty-nine diligent and dignified young ladies and gentlemen entered the portals of Ogden High School to complete the piloting of their ship over the ruggedness of the Senior year. For our pilots, we chose Merle Sherbring, Admiralg Paul Blyth, Captain: and Ruth Erickson, First mate. Our first big task was the freshman initiation to show who's who in High School. The-n came our Class rings, the insignia of the Seniors. Imagine the Juniors' surprise to leam we were hiding in the gym balcony while they traipsed over the country. EXTRA: OGDEN, BOONE COUNTY CHAM- PIONS! What a history breaking event for the Seniors and Ogden High. The Seniors take great pride in stating that every member of the regular team were Seniors. Such a record smashing feat hadn't been repeated since xgzz. However, our victory was overshadowed by the death of our commercial teacher, Mr. Craven. The Senior Class featured as their class play Little Women one of the greatest American Classics, written by Louisa M. Alcott. In rapid succession followed the Junior-Senior Banquet, and then Education day with a tour of the southeastern part of the state, the feature point being Fort Madison. Baccalaureate, Commence- ment and Class day marked the last mile-stones of our joumey through High School. The Seniors chose as their class motto Our ship is at sea-where shall it anchor? There is no doubt that thi ship will find a haven in the port of Success and Happiness. Class flower-Sweet Pea. Class Colors-Aqua and Peach.
