Q wenzbz' ?Qy MA MA 'S BABY BOY This screamingly funny play exceeded the speed limit in laughs. Imagine Donna Jackson as a very attractive widow, near- ing forty, with an eighteen year-old-son, Bob Vance, posing as a youth of fourteen, so that she might pass as a younger woman and marry widower Jerry Tillman, whom she believed to be rich. Neither of the two have a cent. The boy's grandmother, Carolyn Gordon, also added to the fun by appearing in a youthful costume. Every- one got himself in hot water in these sit- uations especially when the deception on both sides was discovered. Other characters were the colored maid played by Connie Duke, a real estate agent, Doug Jacksonp Mrs. Anglin, a society matron, Carol White and other young people, Glenda Allen, Tommy Barber, and Frances Parker. Munching on cookies, Miss Allen and Mrs. Shiplet prompted the actors. Refresh- ments were served during evening play practice and after the last performance.

ezzzbr The seniors made Colorado Springs the central point of activity on their trip. Sight-seeing included Royal Gorge, the Garden of the Gods and the Zoo. Bowling and ice skating provided excitement and entertainment for the group - not to mention a few bruises! The heated swimming pool and the bar-b-q grill at the Town House Motel, where they stayed while in Colorado Springs, were points of attraction. Joining the seniors in these ac- tivities were Miss Shirley Allen, Mr. Ed Lee, and Mrs. Raymond Tillman. The group returned by way of Albuquerque where they left Mr. Lee, Jerry Ray Tillman, and Bill Cain to take part in the State Track Meet. 7? fe- f I' fl x, l I x5 'Q 'Muni 4 f K X X X Lge --

To show appreciation, the seniors presented their sponsors, Mrs. Shiplet and Miss Allen, with gifts at the high school Christmas party. K.. enzbr fcbuzbes The one occasion which called for white dinner jackets and 1evis was the making of senior pictures. Cautious '60 Seniors looked both ways before crossing the street, Septem- ber 22, 1959, on their annual sneak day, which included the Tri-State Fair and the Ice Capades at Amarillo, Texas .
