“The Unsuspected” is the story of Al- thea and Tyl who, devoted to their guardian, Luther Grandison, are certain he can do no wrong. Yet this fatherly, soft-spoken man is as ruthless as Mac- Beth, one of the roles he played on Broadway in years past. Grandison hoodwinks almost everyone — including the local detective chief. The exception is Frank Movhihan, fiance of one of Grandison’s victims. To gain access to the houses, Frank poses as the man Tyl married during a seige of amnesia in New York and, in order to aid him, his sister Jane becomes Grandison’s secre- tary. And so the plot thickens as the Juniors hold the audience on the edge of their seats. This play was a success because of the hard work and capable director, Mr. John Porambo. HELP — P. Smith and L. Leiby seem to be disposing of the evidence. A MYSTERY FOR JUNIOR PLAY FAMILY PORTRAIT - Members of the cast of the Junior Play assemble for our camera. 26

IMPROVE LIFE AT S.H.S In order to give each student an opportu- nity to play an important part in the govern- ing of his school, we organize a Student Council. This body contains a representative and alternate from each homeroom in the school as well as Senior Officers. Student Council sponsors several activities for the benefit of the students. The big oper- ation is that of the lxx)k store, which serves as a refreshment stand and a place to pur- chase school articles. Throughout the vear, the council holds many dances and grants permission for clubs to sponsor dances. The Talent-Fashion Show gives the students an opportunity to display their talent. A night full of fun awaits those who attend Fun Night.

SENIOR PLAY A HIT AT S.H.S. A comedy in three acts, “Girl-Shy,” di- rected by John Porambo, was presented by the Senior Class on March 17 and 18 at 8 p.m. in the high school auditorium. Chosen by Mr. Porambo, the cast consisted of Coleen Kemp, Glenn Scheffler, Robert Ring- er, James Wescoe, Diane Diel ert, Dianne Lewis, and several other characters who helped to add to the suspense of the play. Jane Kern assisted Mr. Porambo as student di- rector. Ginger Rol erts was production manag- er, and each committee pitched in to do its share of the work. The plot centers around Tom and Oke, roommates, who are about to graduate from college. Tom is girl-shy, and Oke isn’t. Babs, the girl who is gunning for Tom, finally gets a chance at him when she changes places with the girl who cleans their room. Just as some- thing beautiful develops, Tom’s father arrives with a girl for Tom to marry. A kidnapping helps to bring the play to a close. THE CAST — C. Geiger, R. Mills. C. Dalrvmple, R. DeFrain, K. Trettlc. C. Kemp. R. Ringer, J. Wescoe, D. Lewis, G. Scheffler. D. Diebert, and J. Rau.
