During the- Lnvitational Tourney this year in the Salem armory, we made good use of our art in selling popcorn. And as you can tell by this picture, we really used a technique. Here are Lew, Roy, and Larry just before they laid seige to the fans, acting in the typical Senior manner. By the way, believe it or not, they sold loads of popcorn. Below we find Opal and Ginger using the popcorn machine at school and selling popcorn to Beverly Cauble. The above picture was taken on Oct- ober Z7, one of the brightest days of our Senior year. Twenty happy humans re- ceived their rings, official declaration of their rank. This fact accounts for facial expressions both mournful, mystified, or just plain excited whichever the case may be. On our annual class party, we went to Stanaford Field in Louisville, to inspect the plane that was later to take us to Washington, D. C. Here is the group, minus three, taken on the landing strip with our plane as a background. 1 , l , A 4 This page is sponsored by: GEO. C.

THE STORY People do change and Papa Metzger is no exception. Their home in Milltown, Pa., was a pleasant, even-tem- pered household with the usual unconsequential family flares until Papa Metzger became a Shop Steward of his union at the mill. Sudden power and authority stretches his ego and Papa reaches far beyond his height. Illusions of his self-importance and duty to his union gradually estrange him from his wife, Carrie, and his three daughters, Beth, Ann and jenny, ranging in ages 15, 18 and 20 re- spectively, until Papa assumes the proportions of Dictator Dad. His first fall from grace in his family's eyes is the forgetting of his daughters' birthdays. They take this with- out a quiverg but when Papa begins to blow a whistle and has his family line up and wait on him like a retinue of flunkies, a rebellion is in the making. The crowning inci- dent that causes the family to about-face is his unforgivable offense of forgetting his Twenty-Fifth Wedding Anni- versary. It is then that Mama Metzger fCarriej makes her great decision. If Papa can have a union in the shop, she can have a union in the home. To strengthen her echelon she not only drafts her daughters into her union but conscripts her daughters' boy friends as wellg and Jenny's boy friend happens to be a young lawyer who is acting as an arbitrator in behalf of the owner of the mill. Even Precious Jenkins, who does housework for housewives when the urge hits her, suddenly finds herself involved in Mama's little union. But Papa remains adamant until Carrie strategically maneuvers her big push to bring Papa back into the family bosom. Her banner for the fray hung in the living room announces in large letters her battle slogan, PAPER PLATES FOR PAPA. Carrie knows when to attack and where it will hurt the most and Papa finds himself no match for a homemade union. Paper Plates or Papa Cast of Characters Papa William Metzger ....
