UQ VUE? QQ SENIOR CLASS NEWS High school opened last September with three Seniors. They were Connie Barnes, Jimmie Johnson, and George Recos. A class meeting was held soon after school opened, and officers were elected. George Recos was elected President, Jimmie Johnson, Vice-President, and Connie Barnes, Secretary and Treasurer. Miss Amsden was our class adviser. Our first activity was a Halloween Barn Dance held on October 28. The dance was a big success, with music furnished by Bargeron's orchestra and refreshments sold by the Senior Class. Our next activity, held on December 16, was the Senior Play, Aunt Emma Sees It Through, a farce comedy in three acts. The play dealt with two young girls, Kathryn and Louise Adair, kept in seclusion by their old maid aunt, Aunt Emma. Louise determined to break away and marry, and she advertised through a matrimonial agency for a husband. Several applicants showed up, and at first Aunt Emma was led to believe that they were applicants for a job as butler. Aunt Emma put them to work trying out. Eventually Louise confessed her plot, and ln the end, 1,-giiilga- as you might guess, everyone got married, including 7 All Aunt Emma, the former man-hater. Those taking part in ,,f the play were Connie Barnes as Louise Adair, June 3 Legare as Kathryn Adair, Marjorie Harper as Aunt Emma, A ' George Recos as Jack Norris, Alden Phillips as Bud , al ., Gates, Clarke Johnson as Dick Christiansen, and Fred- :El erick Elliott as Joe Sparks. Others helping backstage were Carolyn Thayer and Shirley Dorow, prompters, and Jimmie Johnson on lights and the curtain. Connie Barnes was business manager for the play and George Recos and Fred- erick Elliott were property managers. Mr. Bagley was our coach and Miss Amsden helped with advertising and properties. We wish to thank all these people for helping make our play a great success. Our class is now planning record hops and food sales, which will help us earn money to go to Washington, D.C. in April. We are all very excited about our trip and plan to work hard so we can make it. Connie Barnes '50 kxfzfdvl
