X 2 - -ge JUNIOR PROM Dreamer's Holiday was the theme of this year's Junior Prom which was held April 21 in the South School Auditorium. King Orlin Hasse and Queen Connie Baumgarten reigned over a beautiful fantasy of butterflies, stars, clouds, and toadstools. They were crowned by George Johansen and his date, Margaret Haugh while sitting on a bench surrounded by clouds, stars and toad- stools. Vince Warren's band played for the very successful prom. The committees and their chairmen were as follows: general chairman, Orlin Hasse, financial, John Prange, decorations, Joyce Groeneweg, orchestra, Helen Gade, refreshments, Virginia Lath- rope, checker room, LaVern Kaney, tickets, Walter Luedtke, prop- erties, Martin Alwin, and publicity, Sheila Flinn. Members of the committees and their advisors, Miss Wolf, Mrs. Goodman, Mr. Romoren, and Mr. Mitchell, deserve a great deal of credit for their fine prom.

SENIOR CLASS PLAY Remember the senior class play - the nights of rehearsals -- the collecting of properties-the papering of sets - the direction of Miss Finne- gan - the sudden fear when it was time for the curtain to go up? The play, Don't Blame Me, was a typical teen-age comedy. The scene on stage at curtain time was the living room of the Prentiss home. A large sign reading Keep Out! Danger was seen on a door leading from the room. This door lead to the mysterious laboratory of Tommy Prentiss lBob Jewelll, a young fellow full of brilliant ideas. His experiments in his laboratory proved annoying to the nose and nerves of the whole household, especially to Vangie, the maid lJean Schluterl who feared the evils of Tommy's chem- ical mind. But Tommy had more than chemistry on his mind, there was Linda lEvelyn Koeneckel, his best girl, and Linda's impish thirteen year old brother Danny l,George Hanusal. The story revolved around the donation of land for a park by Mrs. Davies lPatsy Dorowl, a phil- anthropist, and the battle between those who wanted green benches in the park and those who wanted red ones. This argument found Marlene lMarita O'Brienl in favor of red benches, Betty lCharlene Toederl a member of the green bench group and Gerald lJim Pawlischl a red member also. Remember Miss Britton lSue Dohnerl, the teacher who had a Rosebud mysteriously drop- ped in her class room? An argument over the park was carried on by the older generation including Mr. Prentiss lSonny Wallenl who wanted willow trees in the park and Mr. Conway lDon Giesel who was determined to have maple trees. Not to be forgotten in this cast were Carmen Hondrich as Mrs. Prentiss and Norma Muchow as Mrs. Con- way, the two matrons who fight over netunias and zinnias for the future park. Another character was Mac lDon Curtinl, Tommy's best pal who was usually with him in trouble. These characters along with the rosebuds, mousetraps and gas masks have really made this an accomplishment of the senior class that will long be remembered. if Don't go in there! Don't! lt's important and we're all supposed Miss Finnegan shows them how. to go. A
