SENIOR PLAY How did you like it? Oh! it was superli' 'LWell, did you enjoy it? '51 surely did, the best ever. These remarks were heard after the performance of the weird and gay extravaganza, The Mon- strous Searchf' With the monster on the loose, the search for him was a widespread affair. Such characters as Ear- lock Stones and Hicks Tracy were portrayed by Earl Stone and George Owen, who were detectives. It goes without saying that they literally kept the audience in riotous laughter throughout the whole per- formance. ' A place of amusement, 'Eeves Rondevouse, was surrounded by humor, laughter, and the continuous search for the monster. The Jitterbugs of 1920 stimulated the whole assembly. Those who took part were Mary Teixeira, Gloria McCurdy, Regina Stewart, Marillyn Renkert, Virginia Anglum, Elaine YVyman, Alice O'Brien, and Sheila Louck. . Golclstine's is where anything can happen and usually does and did. With interludes in between, the whole show was running smoothly. The Madsen, with its great gift of looking into the future, told the two mystic detectives where the monster probably could be found. Attired in bright Spanish costumes were Jacqueline Thompson, Barbara Hansen, Mary Healy, Claire McCook, Dolores Estrada, Barbara Williams, Gloria Silva and Kerby Trammell, who entertained by dancing to the familiar Spanish song The Habaneraf' which LaVerne Barnett sang. The search for the monster continues through entertainment spots, stories, etc. Weird., cold and somewhat uncertain was tho Mummy Dance. Low groans and moans combined with white enrohed creatures were something of a surprise. Bob J ones, Don Johnson, Leno Rossi, Norman Grabar, Arthur Webster, Lee Vireg, Charles Hunt, Mike Gouldin, Stanley Morri and Alex Dawson were the participants. . Finally the monster was subdued only to find none other than little Jimmy McNeill as the character who portrayed the part. Wayiie Westover, the scientist, who created the monster, came to a disastrous end when his own creative creation turned on him and killed him with the green light. Zombie-like creatures always return to the dead and the play ended. when the Mummies carried the Monster off to the unknown. Beverly Craven accompanied the Spanish dance and all necessary music. A make-believe band added the necessary atmosphere to the cafe scene. The great success of the play was due to the hard work and efforts of Miss McLaurin, Miss Weath- erby, advisersg Don Johnson, Alex Dawson, Thea Hart, Beverly Craven, Mary Healy, and Wayne West- over, writers of the play. Stage hands who worked on the stage setting and lighting and costumes under the direction of Mrs. Cottle, were Gloria Silva, Frances Favero, Marillyn Renkert, and Sheila Louck. rfb.

SENIOR DAY Funny, pretty, odd costumes, and walking mummies were part of Senior Day. Color, color and more color, and faces were changed into different characters by make-up artists. This event is one to which every student of R. U. H. S. looks forward. November 22, 1944 - laughter, screeching, everyone having jitters, and then the band played a well- known march and 101 Seniors came marching into the auditorium. The final selection of the winners was difficult. For the best and most original girl's costume was Mary Miranda's and the boy's was won by Earl Stone. Snapshots were taken of the seniors in their get-ups The 2-12's took over the girls' gym for danc- ing, and a good time was had by all. Sixteen
