On some evenings lt was impossible for Carlene to get to rehearsal, and then Willard would play the part of Aunt Lydla. This was very amusing to the rest of the cast, and I think he enjoyed lt, too. Dress rehearsal had us all worrled because there was a torrential rain that afternon. Car1ene's road was wahed out and she thought she couldn't get there, but at the last minute she arrived, much to the rellef of all of us. The first evening that we presented the play, we were all scared to death but lt went over very well. The second evening we were not scared but were just sllly enough to fit our parts. The thlrd evenlng the play was received as well as the second. l thlnk each Senior wlll agree with me in saying that we all enjoyed Mr. Mortland's dlrectlng, and when he took parts of people not there he caused many of us to laugh, especially when he played Henry, who was suposed to he slx feet and three inches tall.

Basketball Al the start of basketball season this year, there were about sixteen boys on the squad. Our captain was Eddie Richards. When the season was nearly one-third over, Eddie had trouble with his shoulders and decided to quit basketball. Without Bddle, we had no one on the team who had played regularly thc year before. Clifford March became captain, however, and we continued the season. As we approached the end of our schedule, we were invited to play ln the Central York County League Tournament. We played, but were ellmlnated after the first game. We ended the season by playing ln the Trl-Lalte League Tourna- ment, ln our own gym, but we were beaten in the first game, and thus ellmlnated from further eompetltlon. For the season, we won only two games, while loslng seventeen.
