Such exciting play practices!!! THE HIGH SCHOOL MYSTERY 'The play must go on!' Yes, it was on the nights of November 29 and 30 that a group of shaky Seniors discovered how true those words were. Under the direc- tion of Miss Erla Harvey, our class produced a three-act mystery comedy, The High School Mystery. This was the story of a Senior class during the dress-rehearsal of their annual performance. Elizabeth Keefer played the part of Miss Fielding, the drama coach, who did her best to keep the play going. Laura Crowder, played by Donna Clayton, was the heroine whose one weak point was fainting, and Donna certainly got enough practice in that! Like all good plays ours had a comic character and who could play that better than Lola Jeanne Keckler. Remember when the maid, Dorothy Russell, came onto the stage in her dust cap? Louise Linkinhoker was Mary Lea, a spinster. Louise couldn't get in the door at play practice one night and kicked out a glass- still someone had to let her in! And you should have seen the poor woman sitting in front of Miss Jeffries fE1aine Gilbertj jump when Elaine screamed! Viola Mae Folk was a very sophisticated woman named Mrs. Reed. Tots ought to wear her hair on top of her head more often. Bob Moats was Earl Sayles, the romantic soul in our midst, and to quote Deryle Behmer, I'm the big bad wolf. CYou see he was our vil1ain.J Paul Butler was played by Bob Cunningham who really wasn't a bad father-eh Donna? Jack How- ard, known to us as Bob Cavanaugh, seemed to acquire the habit of scaring people to death and falling out of secret panels. Jason Shaw, the hillbilly sheriff, was Don Jones. What happened to Mr. Helander's cow, Don?? Jack Mann was our stage manager and he caused more unexpected laughs than we ever imagined-what with rabbit and pie to eat, and his trusty pipe wrench. THE SENIOR BALL Where was it? What was it? When was it? Those are only a few of the ques- tions that were asked about the simply super ball the Seniors gave this year. After a lot of oh's and ah's about the Senior's magnificent decorations, the compliments and all the questions, only a few were answered. The Senior Ball was held May third, and the anticipation of a grand time wasn't a let-down because it really was a grand affair. As you walked in, you saw at the opposite end of the gym, Polo's railroad tracks, then you discovered the idea of the decorations. Yes, it was the first block of Polo's business district. Jack Sweeney again furnished the ta-rah-rah-boom-te-a. All said and done it was the New Orleans Mardi Gras with the accent on Polo. C59
