HI TORY... The history of the class of 1955 is so drama- tic and colorful that it resembles a play. With your kind permission, I, as dramatic critic of the SPENCERIAN, will review the play called The Hands of Time in an absolutely unbiased man- ner. This is a play in four acts, with three brief intermissions. The play was written by the actors as they played their parts under the direction of Herbert Edwards, the principal, and a band of capable assistants, the faculty. It is produced by the board of education with the cooperation of the taxpayers and is given by an all-star cast. The scenes all take place in the high school building, in corridors, classrooms, gymnasium, and assem- bly hall. Act I shows the arrival of the 73 members of the class in the halls of learning. Their timidity and curious mistakes furnish some bright comedy moments. The villain of the play is called Study and is of alarming size and proportions. It is evident that he will interfere sadly with the en- joyment and leisure of the actors, now known as Freshmen. At the close of the act, tragedy seems immin- ent, as there is a desperate affair, a mental crisis created by brother villain, Examinations. But the Freshmen make one last spurt and win. Not all is somber in this act, as there are two parties--one given in the gym, and the other at McCormicks Creek Park. Leading characters in this act are: Gerald McClure, class President, Carmen Pogue, Vice Presidentg jimmy Lucas, Secretary-Treasurer, Connie Cline and Martha jackson, May Queen Attendantsg and Barbara Skinner, yell leader. The directors of this act are Mr. Ahlemeyer and Klr. Schuler. The curtain of the first act falls on the re- joicing Freshmen as they take an intermission of twelve weeks, during which time the actors go away on vacations or stay home and help with the work. Act II shows the same people in the same place, but they are now known as Sophomores, owing to an advance in rank. A touch of patnos is found in the absence of eight members of the cast. In this act the members of the cast seem to have achieved a charm, an ease of manner, and a feeling of security that were noticeably lacking in Act I. An interesting scene in this act is the election of class officers, at which time Herbert Nanny was selected as class Presi- dent, Patty Starnes was selected Vice Presi- dent, and Clarence Riggs was chosen Secretary- Treasurer. Another outstanding scene took place at the May Day Program when jeweldeen Strunk and Patty Starnes represented us as attendants. The spotlight next catches Shirley Campbell as she accepts the honor of being selected F.F.A. Sweetheart candidate. joe Emerson takes a bow in the next scene as he is recognized for being the top salesman in the magazine sales campaign. The players all swell with pride as they receive the distinction of being winners of Courtesy Week. The action continues to rise till the end of the act, when we again have the inevitable struggle with the villains iiily and Examinations. Again, after a bitter exchange of hostilities, the class wins, thanks to the time spent in prepa- ration. Directors of this act were Mrs. Thelma Miller and Mr. Spangler. Another twelve weeks' intermission, and we stagger in for Act III. Again the same people in the same place--which may make the play sound monotonous to you, but I assure you it is not. The actors are so changed that each act seems like an entirely new play. They are now called juniors. The directors of this Act, Mrs. Alberta Miller and Mr. Spangler, allowed time off to make prepa- rations for the junior-Senior Prom which was held on May 7 in Alumni Hall at the Union Build- ing at Indiana University. This scene takes place in the balmy atmosphere of Hawaii. Several of the actors reminisce as they think of the var- ious activities which took place to raise the funds for this wonderful evening. The selling of Christmas wreaths, concessions at ball games, etc., were necessary to buy the props. We hold our breath as the spotlight picks up a scene from our class play, Our Miss Brooks. We are very proud to find some of our cast make wonderful thespians. We are guided through this act by President Clarence Riggs, Vice-President Stanley Fulk,
