lIl9lD34t 'wfkllilllplll ,IIESA Ilfl4IiYlIE'l Applesauce , prcsented in the high school auditorium, December 7, 1933, as the annual Senior Play, was a distinct stage success of the year. The humorous plot deals with a serene and envied youth, Bill McAllis- ter, Whose chief asset is applesauce . This gets him all the essentials of life, even a girl. Hazel is engaged to Rollo Jenkins, but Bill, in an ex- tremely funny scene talks Rollo out of his engagement by playing up the great cost of married life. Bill marries Hazel with 36.00 in his pocket, believing that two can live as cheaply as one, for Happlesaucei' is cheap and Bill is no lazy linguist. The leading roles of Bill and Hazel were exceptionally well acted by Paul Henzler and Virginia Elliot, respectively. They were capably assist- ed by Miles Trumble, Elmer Wing, Phyllis Miner, Aubrey Hicks, and Dorothy Hueschen. The play was under the competent supervision of Miss Isabelle Rayen. Much of the financial success of the play is attributed to the business staff headed by Frederick Goeckel. 31

The cost of publishing a Spic this year would have been much greater than in the past three years. After due consideration of the class's finances, it was decided to put out a Spic on a smaller scale. This year's senior edition was to be limited to the senior class and contain no advertisements. The title, The Senior Spic , was chosen as a fitting one. The staff has accomplished as much as possible with the resources available. We have put forth our utmost effort to get the best book possi- ble for the least cost to our classmates. Although we were unable to put out a book as large as some of the past Spics, we have put out a Worthy book, and have continued the custom of an annual senior publication. We present this to our class and friends as a Senior Spic which con- sists of the most worthwhile results of our high school days, and which is put forth in the spirit that senior editions have ever been put forth. 30

M934 SRNWDRlWQDNl The Senior Prom, sponsored by the Class of Nineteen Hundred and Thirty-four, proved to be one of the most beautiful and successful parties ever held in the Owosso Armory. Passing through a long blue and white domed arch-way, one was sur- rounded by all the beauties and splendors of a June night, with a full moon rising over the orchestra on the stage. The ceiling was covered with ripples of blue and white with stars peeping through. Big numerals were placed above the stage which was lighted indirectly. Flowers were in huge baskets and in two large silver urns on either side of the auditorium. Of course, ginger ale was served. But as the crowd proved to be harder drinkers than usual, it vanished long before the evening was over. The grand march was a beautiful display of crisses and crosses. It was led by Paul Henzler, president of the senior class, and Rebecca Lordg followed by Barbara Lyon, vice-president, and Gordon Nutson. The fine orchestra added one of the greatest attractions of this party. Ray Gorell and his Book Cadillac Orchestra from Detroit featuring an amazing piano player. The patrons and patronesses were Mr. and Mrs. E. J. Willman, Mr. and Mrs. E. A. Cournyer, Mr. and Mrs. L. F. Miner, Mr. and Mrs. O. L. Elliot, Mr. and Mrs. C. C. Day, Mrs. Minnie Wells Gebhart, and Mrs. Elizabeth Lyon. 32
