Of great merit which made the audience think even as it amused was the play, Inherit the Wind. Fifty-seven juniors and seniors, under the direction of Mrs. Kay Wil- kins, gave an excellent performance of this Broadway drama, which is based upon the Scopes monkey trial in Dayton, Tennessee, in the summer of 1925. The old issue of whether there is room in our world for both science and the Bible came to life again as Walker Wells and Bubba Creech gave their moving portrayals of Matthew Harrison Brady (Bryan) and Henry Drummond (Darrow). To quote from the comments by the editor of The Smith- field Herald: Smithfield High School is to be congratu- lated for exposing students and the whole community to intellectual adventure. From the hallowed hills of sacred Sinai . . . (Walker Wells as M. H, Brady) Do we curse this sinner in our midst! (Jimmy Ferrell as Reverend J. Brown) 18

Every year in SHS there comes that certain Saturday morning when the seniors somehow manage to drag out of bed by 9:00 and tramp down to the Legion Hut to decorate for the Fresh- man Dance. After a morning of work, the hut stands in readiness for the holocaust which is to follow that night. All of Smithfield is aware of the coming event, for every beauty par- lor, barber shop, ladies ' and men ' s store is invaded by freshmen. Girls run all over town in curlers and mud packs; older people just stay home on this particular Saturday, and avoid the confusion. The precedent was surely not broken this year, but probably strengthened. If you have any question as to whether or not this really goes on every year, just remember 1o look for it when it comes time for the Fresh- man dance once again. Freshmen are indeed green, to use the classical term. Nevertheless, they have a world all their own. The sen- iors that come to the Freshman Dance are different, for everyone realizes that they are seniors and therefore they must act like it — to some extent anyway. But the freshmen are freshmen and every- one also realizes this fact, thus putting them in an entirely different situation. They can be their own inquisitive, naive, carefree selves. And so for this reason, if for no other, the upperclass- men must envy the Freshmen of SHS. 19
