Student Council memhers were the same as in our freshman year, Placed in charge ol the tirsl school party ol the year, we gave the lreshmen a hearty and memorable reception in the lorm ol a Truth or Consequences radio program with Seiduts tstudies, spelled haclcwardsi as our sponsor. Vve were almost sued lor cutting Nl. VVS fingernails. The star ol the evening was Tommy Gerow modeling janet Dills two-piece hathing suil. The class hilved land hitch-hilcedi to the Cascades lor a picnic. Remember who rode- with the deal man and the resulting dililiculty in getting let out at the right place? Boys maliing the team in lootlaall were Peter Scontras.

During our sophomore year part ol our class, those talcing College English, presented the play Julius Caesarf, which was a great success, hut it's a good thing Shakespeare wasn't there to see it. George Reeves played the part of Julius: John Violette was Brutus and someone put vinegar in his wine hottie. Barhara Reed and Dot NNehlJ were the rugged stage hands who made their entrance at the end ot each act to change the scenery fthe placards telling where each scene toolc placei. They certainly had a hard time dragging the limp hody ot George oft the stage. We who produced this play and those who saw the production will never forget Julius Caesar. Ol this, we are sure.
