MIXED CHORUS The 1951-52 Chorus directed by Mr. Norman Backus, is composed of fifty-one members. Now in its third year, Chorus has proven to be a fine outside activity as -evidenced by the pleasure and satisfaction which the student body and towns- people have derived from it. The members usually meet three times a week for regular practice sessions and extra rehearsals are held previous to the presentation of special programs. The Chorus sang this year for both the Junior and Senior class plays. In addition, on December 23 a Christmas Cantata was presented. Our Chorus also tak-es part in the Eau Claire Music Festival each year. The officers for the year are as follows: Dave Dobrzynski, President, Joan Hedler, Secretary, Allene Kenney and Eddie Wojtalewicz, Librarians. Page 'I'wen1 y - six CHARMAINE WOLF Drum Majorette

JUNIOR PLAY PRODUCTION STAFF ACT YOUR AGE JUNIOR PLAY CAST First Row: Eddie Wojtalewicz Tasia Harycki Pat Kenney Virginia Kinas Charmaine Wolf Gertrude Ogurek Bob Wojtalewicz Top Row: Dick Oldroytl Dave Dobrzynski First Row: Lillian Przybylski Arnoldine Benzschawel La Verne Panel: Top Row: Eugene Barlzinski Joel Schmidt Dick Plansky ACT YOUR AGE On March 14, 1951 the class of 1952 presented a three-act comedy entitled Act Your Age. This presenta- tion, centered around the antics of two fourteen year old girls, played by Pat Kenney and Virginia Kinas, was well-received by the audience. The two girls delude several sailors fEddie and Bob Wojtalewiczl into think- ing they are of marriageable age. Fortunately, in sufficient time to stave oil a major catastrophe, Chuck Wolf, in the roll of Aunt Sandra, comes to the rescue. The production was under the direction of Miss Dunn. THE LIBRARY CLUB LIBRARY CLUB The members of the Library Club, advised by our school librar- ian, Miss Dunn, serve the student body in the capacity of Junior librarians. Each member serves as librarian during one period of the day, keeps records, and assists students in finding materials. This club not only aids the student body generally, but it benefits its own members who learn through doing.
