Penny is busy practicing for her future career as an actress. These books have a double purpose. Penny is learning lines from Shakespeare and improving her posture.

McNeely MonseiurHenri, the extremely French dress designer, seems quite carried away with his job of selling Mr. Harrison Day, the movie producer, (or is it?) and his star Penny on his exclusive creations. Kerry and Penny seem not to have the same opinion onPenny's future path. Kerry's pal Greg and Joanna, Penny's friend, don't seem to want to get too involved. Juniors Display Talent The adventurous Junior Class ventured forth on November 20, 1964 to make their high school dramatic debut. Their offering was a three-act comedy, Don't Take My Penny. The cast of quite accomplished amateurs put the performance over in fine style. As proof of the presentation, the audience participation (laughter, applause, etc. ,) was by no means sparse and neither was the size of the audience, which resulted in a nice box office take of about $230. 00. A note of regret was struck by Nancy Tucker's absence because of hospitalization and a word of praise goes to Marilyn Arnold for her swift part memorization. Between the second and third acts Angela Hogue, on behalf of the Junior Class, presented a gift to Miss Smith, the director of the show, expressing appre- ciation for her hard work and seemingly limitless patience. The plot began with the preoccupation of Penny with an acting career. Her special friend of the opposite sex, Kerry, didn't like what glamour did to Penny or where it looked as though it might take her. The gist of the plot follows the lengths Kerry goes to keep Penny home and the involve- ment of her family in his plans. A counterplot gets entangled concerning the maid, Sally and an agent, Norman Porter, and comes out in the main theme in the end. The production required huge effort but paid off in satisfaction and memories of fun and frolic. The three young ladies standing are sophisticated models o f MonseiurHenri. They, too, are involved in the plot to sell Mr. Day and Penny exquisite fash- ions. Of course, I'd love to dance, Sweetie Pie! Note the look of concentration on Joanna's face, unaware that she's caught up in Kerry's plan. That's the way, Gram. Everyone needs a little inspiration at times and Caleb seems to need his when family involvements come up.

Schweizer Lynn Scott Janet Thompson What A Year In the midst of the lunch room of Stanton County Community High School stands a quiet scene of a coffee house in Italy. Light is provided by candles in bottles on the table. This is a description of the Junior's class party. While soft popular music plays in the background, they enjoy making and eating pizza and playing cards. c L A 5 s o F 6 6 The big day of September 17 will always stay in the hearts of the juniors, for on this day they chose their class rings. After much debate the juniors decided on an oval shaped ring. Several people picked the white gold, but most of them stuck to the old faithful gold. All-in-all they are very pleased and delighted with their choice. Nancy Tucker Wendell Lee Tucker Lynn Walker Ronnie Winger 17

The theme of the evening is spelled out in bold letters across the stage, the setting for much of the entertain- ment. W.D. McNeely's monologue, Harry Horton's and Angela Hogue's skit, and the Junior mixed ensemble's song all carried through the theme of Paree and Love. Ever spend a May evening in April in Paris? Ninety-two guests at the Junior-Senior Banquet on May 1, spent a most lovely and romantic April evening in Paris. The twelve Sophomore waiters kept to the French motif with their berets, brief skirts, and moustaches. The messieurs were Cammy Lucas, Doug Johns, Bill Dody, Randy Rhudy, Gary Rorick, and Vance Whittington. Their mesdemoiselles were Beth Canny, Janice Fields, Penny Lane, Debbie Plummer, Boni Wartman, and Melva Winger. After the strictly Junior-Senior Banquet, all the JHS students and dates were invited to the Prom and Party. Here's a little comer of Paris as the punch and cook- ie table is being set up between the Banquet and Prom. With the bright awnings and windows enhanced by gingham cafe curtains all around and the glittering stars overhead, no imagination is needed to feel the cool evening breeze floating through. Ever dream of sitting in the cafe at the top of the Eiffel Tower? Well, here it is. . everything that could be asked for and a little more in addition. It seems almost possible to look out and see the lights of Paris below.
