ow We Enjoyed Well-planned Junior activities: Imagine the hour is midnight. The old dilapi- dated house is dark and deserted. Suddenly the stillness is broken by a shrill and blood-curdling scream, and out comes . . . Mighty Mouse! Not really, but it could have happened, since gather- ed in the house was the strangest collection of nuts', you ever saw. They were Pocahontas- Norma 'NIe scalp'em Ilackleman, Hitler-David IIeil Beck, Nlussolini-Gerry That's airighti' Hodson, Queen Elizabeth-NVanda Off with their heads Armentrout, and Rockefeller-jim Make a millionu Cox. Guessed yet what this aus- picious occasion was? Thats a'right,', it was the junior play, Dead of the Night, given in the high school gymnasium on October 25th un- der direction of Miss Thelma Stout, junior play director. Other characters fand we use the term looselyj were Katie Brockman-Alice Gardner, a young radio writer, Fred Wingert-Steve Hol- brook, owner of Holbrook Manor, Nancy Heston -jasmine, Negro maid, junior Davis-Dr. Law- son, strange psychiatrist, Pat DeVatz-Mrs. Egg, sinister housekeeper, jim Breen-Glenn, who doesn't think he's crazy, Nancy F orbes-Roberta Best, Clenuls fiancee. The next activity on the Class of 51's schedule was the junior Dance, Melody Timef' given No- vember 4 in the gaily decorated gymnasium with music supplied by the Four Notes. Everyone must have had dancing fever because the dance was well attended by one and all in their best bib and tucker. Our Last Year's Whirl An air of springtime under the stars prevailed at the Senior Prom on March 31. To the dreamy music of Bob Harrah's orchestra, the guys and gals danced from 8:30 to 11:30, relaxed in the gliders surrounding the rail fence, and indulged in soft drink refreshments to make the evening complete. Sold-To the public on April 228, 1950-one play, Love is Too Much Trouble. Given Away-One hilarious evening, starting promptly at 8:15 p.m. and starring those academy award winners: Joan I donit want any part of it Simmons, Don Give me 6 more sodas Craw- ford, John Well, gee whiz, they aren't mine Guion, Dave Slim going to be a guinea pign Thomas, Sandy I'll be like a frog in the winter- timei' Long, Dolores I feel just like a snake on roller skatesn Riggs, june Solid,' Essig, Mari- lyn Oh, isnit the atmosphere grandv Smith, Ioan 'iThere,s a woman lying on the floor Toomey, Betty I mean, I really don VVicker, Barbara I know how to handle that mann Degener, Ronald 'iYou're expelledn Thomas, Pauline Scream Parke, and Bonny Frozen Bland. Lost-The kids at Ivy Gate College were afraid their hangout The Poison Potu was doomed. Found-A remodeled Poison Potf, six happy lovers, and a happy ending. . . . Reception Honoring Senior Class Remember the night? I'll say we do. On May 13, the Juniors played host to the Seniors and faculty at the animal junior-Senior Reception in the Gold Room at the Antlers Hotel. A scrumptious feast of sugar- cured ham and all the trimmings was served to the delight of all concerned. Dance music was provided by Bob Noble and his orchestra from 9:00-12:00. To the enjoyment of all, intermission entertainment was furnished by LaVerne Lane, accordiouist, Tommy Thompson of junior City Slickers, and H. O. Prit- chard. Emcee. A lot of hard work went into the reception so thanks, juniors, for a wonderful time. Now you can see why the upperclassmen had such a full and eventful year with everyone working and planning together to make this their best and happiest year ever. 1 18
