SENIOR JINX OF '59 1 1 7-1 N v- 'it fbi-:mime On January l2th, The Twelfth Hour had its first performance. Ticket saleswomen urged their wares -a trip to New Orleans and the Mardi Gras-on an unsuspecting, peace-and-quiet- loving oldster. Then followed a hilarious sea voyage, replete with dancing portholes, smoke- stacks, fish, precocious children, a woman's cof- fee club, a lively crew, in short, everything BUT peace and quiet. At last the colorful port of New Orleans was reached, with a procession of cooks, seafoods, street signs, timekeepers, and Q iudges climaxed by the coronation of the King and his ballerina Queen and finally the FINALE. Amidst the applause of pleased and mirthful audiences, Silent Tradition comes upon the scene again, and, as a thief, snatches away the Jinx of '59. Quickly and surely as a thought, this Senior Class presentation becomes a part of that procession of past senior productions . , . now only a happy memory.

A spirit of cooperation, an acceptance of responsibility, a feeling of comradeship, an opportunity for service, a moment to share and show talents, a time to learn and to teach,- all these are dividend enough, :surpassed only when the curtain swoops down and draws the cast under its wing for the final time.
