THE WHIRLPOOL SENIOR REPORT Observation, Please! ! The illustrious “Class of 1950” has finally achieved its goal—we are Seniors! ! The first outstanding deed of our class w:s to elect the following officers: President, Robert Webb; Vice President, Patricia Carll; Secretary, Jeanette Bishop; Treasurer, James Мет, Student Council Members, Helen Sawyer, Philip Whitney. Representing our class in basketball were: Robert Webb, James Verrill, Wendell White, Patricia Carll, Dorothy Beck, Marion Foster, Helen Sawyer, Ellen Kimball (Manager), On the cheering squad were: Patricia Carll, Barbara Mason, and Barbara Keene. And last but not least our swimming team represen.a- tives wore: Patri cia Carll, Dorothy Beck, and James Мега. On November 17th and 18th we presented the three-act play “Little Women.” If the public enjoyed it as much as we enjoyed par- ticipating in the production, it may be consid- ered a big success. We were indeed grateful for Mr. Fred Skilling's services in regard to the make-up department. Other social activities sponsored by our class were socials, dances, an amateur contest, and a food sale. All proved to be successful affairs. All plans are arranged for our class trip to Washington, D. C., in April, and we are en- thusiastically looking forward to it. Last but not least, our final event will be held in the near future . . . graduation, and it is with mingled feclings of regret and antici- pation that we look forward to it. JEANETTE Bisuor, Secretary. THE SENIOR PLAY November 18th and 19th at Stimson Memo- rial Hall the class of '50 presented an old classic, “Little Women.” Marion Foster, as Meg, was suitably shy and reserved, and Jim Verrill as John Brook was the appropriately bashful lover. Jeanette “Jo” Bishop was a perfect tomboy in spite of the hoopskirt and Patty Carll as Beth was a perfect contrast. Dot Beck as Amy made good use of her “vocabilary.” Ellen Kimball and Martin Barker were the proud parents. Dolores Worden as Aunt March was a perfect eccentric old maid, although we thought she should have married Mr. Lawrence, the rich old neighbor, well played by Eddie Butler. Beady Marr, cast in her usual role, Наппаћ Mullet, the cook, came on and off stage at the right moments and told everyone else their cues, too. Phil Whitney was a good Laurie, although it taxed his strength at times. Wendell White as Professor Bhaer enjoyed the part, particularly in the last act the last 1950 night. Every crack and hole backstage was filled by at least one eye to see a bewhiskered Bhaer kiss a not so enthusiastic Jo. The part of the dog was played by Snooks Witham the first night and Piddles Beck the second. Helen Sawyer was our confused prompter and Barb Witham did an excellent job on the programs. They also played small parts in the play. Mrs. Dempsey was our patient coach and helped us eat the popcorn, candy, apples and other goodies we consumed every rehearsal. We also want to thank the “3M's” of hot lunch for their help, kind words and food. We literally dug up the costumes in an ef- fort to make them authentic to the period. The favorable reports from the townspeople snowed that they were glad that Stimson Hall was being used again for dramatics. Dor Аму Beck, 50. Doronzs “Aunt Marca” WonpEN, '50. Fifteen
