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.

“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

CHORALIERS END ON SPRING MUSICALE - Choraliers pose before performance of their annual spring concert. A FITTING GOOD-BYE - F. Steckel presents Mrs. Evans with a sterling silver tea service. During the past ten years, Mrs. Marion Evans has given ceaselessly of her time, effort, and talent to the choruses of Slatington High School. Her untiring work has proven highly successful in making our chorus concerts a much an- ticipated event in the school year. The musically inclined students have an opportunity to demonstrate their ability in two concerts every year. The first concert was given for Christmas. Contributing to the festivities, several children of the faculty members added yuletide spirit to the chorus’ rendition of “Drummer Boy”. The Spring Musicale, the second concert, was dedicated to our retiring director whom we shall greatly miss. The highlight of the concert was the presentation of a gift to Mrs. Evans. Just before the “Alma Mater” was sung, Fred Steckel rose and pre- sented Mrs. Evans with a dozen red roses and a sterling sil- ver tea set. Fred also spoke to Mrs. Evans on behalf of the chorus telling her how we will miss her and wishing her luck in the future. 28
