Pilot Light This was another active year for the school paper. We had a paper every two weeks. Several special editions of six full pages were issued. The Pilot Light kept us up to date on all the latest gossip, sports, stories, and jokes. Of course, some favorite Moron stories appeared too. Our Editor-in-Chief, Ruth Akerley, drew us pictures of the Moron family. Mr. Deevers guided the staff again this year. Assistant Editor was Delores Davis; others on the staff were Feature Editor, Gcorgiana Kako; News, Bemadene Yusko; Gossip and Jokes, Helen Fisch; Sports, Robert Puffer; Books and Movie Reporter, Shirley Blood; Biographies, Flora Hall and Audrey Kirkwood; Art, Irus Kent. The typists were Frances Marn, Evelyn Dalrymple, Marian Braden, Barbara Kaiser, and Jean Bartlett. Production, Norma Kezertce. The whole staff deserves a cheer for the good work done this year. Latin Club Members of the Sodalitas Latina Rowensis elected Gordon Turner, consul; Donald Horwood, pro-consul; Bessie Ring, scriba; Margaret Dewey, praefectus aeraru; and tDelores Davis, scriba to the Pilot Light. Our club consisted of twenty members who were interested in Latin; “get togethers” were held on the average of once every month. The first meeting of the new year at Margaret Dewey’s home had for its high light, a hilarious initiation of the new members. After the business meetings, songs in Latin were sung, “vinco” was played and also other games provided by the program committee. There was a gift exchange at the Christmas Party at which the French students were their guests. A play entitled “Noctem Amoenam Habeas” was written and planned to !be put on for assembly. After the business meetings, last but not least, refreshments were served. Junior Red Cross One of the active and successful clubs of the year was the Junior Red Cross. It organized quickly and settled down for a quantity of hard work. Its chief function was to organize the Red Cross work to be done throughout the school, make definite plans and see that they were carried through. ith the help of the Art and Home Economic Clubs their plans did carry through. Among the worthy projects this year was the making of fifty favors to brighten the Brown Memorial Hospital Thanksgiving trays; a Christmas play under the direction of Mr. Deevers given for the entertainment for those in the County Home; and also boxes were packed and sent to the County Home. This year the membership of the Junior Red Cross was unusually high; outstanding in the membership drive were the third and tenth grades. The officers of the club were: president, Dorothy Snow; vice-president, Richard Wheeler; secretary, Ruth Akerley; and treasurer, Shirley Blood. Doth it not flow as hugely as the sea 31

THE SENIOR PLAY The Class of '44 presented a three-act comedy entitled “The Mad Hatters.” The Hatters are the kind of family not found next door. For all their crazy antics they are a delightful, lovable family. This dizzy, dippy family is made up of a father, Joe Hatter, nuts about fishing, the mother, Margaret, who is carried away with dramatics, and their three children, Gigi, Bunny and Diana. Gigi is nuts about athletics and Bunny is nuts about photography. The housekeeper, Angelica, is quite as nutty as the rest of the family. Grandma Hatter has supported Joe and his family for years and suddenly decides it’s time to quit. She gives them all just three short months to prove that they are worth their salt. The allowance will continue even if just ONE of the family does something worth while. Never having earned so much as half a cent, they decide to commercialize on their hobbies. All of their attempts are super flops. Joe who finds Grandma Hatter’s false teeth in a fish he caught saves the day for them. SENIOR PLAY CAST First row, left to right, Barbara Kaiser, Ruth Aker-ley.

While on their vacation the girls are staying in a large, dark, dreary house. This gives the boys an idea. Why not haunt them! To the dismay of the boys their joke turns against them when a mysterious and unaccounted-for ghost with a blue light appears. All ends well and with no broken bones or shattered nerves when the “ghost ’ turns out to be one of the girls. Members of the cast were Gordon Turner, Dorothy Cook, Delores Davis, Duane Loomis, Altha Bates, Marjorie Tinney, Jo Ann Wright, Dorothy Norton, Kay Graff, Alex Elonen, Ethel Shuster, and Bernice Hershey. The director was Miss Clara Fritts. 32 And so he plays his part
