MASQUE AND WIG Everyone who works on Topeka High's theatrical productions, no matter how un- spectacular his job, can be sure of recognition. The Masque and Wig club isinot made up entirely of actors in the plays, as the stage crew, publicity men, property managers--all are members. Although the club holds no meetings, it serves as a reminder of everyone whose name has appeared on a play program, and of many whose names did not.

Judy cavorted through episodes ranging from an ex-criminal ' uncle to her hrst pair of heels and coped admirably with all situations. The entire cast was on its toes to keep the audience charmed by the delightful antics of such characters as Hilda, Lois Graves, and B. Curtis. The use of Gene Gooding, a Senior, as Harry Graves, sets a new precedent in Topeka High's l25l dramatic world. It is the beginning of a plan to combine the drama clubs with the classes, thus providing even better plays on the stage of Topeka High School in the future. to as , We safe A 22121 2,641,424 The Graves familyion Christmas morning: Judy is ecstatic over her, fi l ' heels and Lois drools over her new cashmere sweater

Meeting us our first week at school was the bar- gain sale of Activity tickets, plus the news of var- ious summer activities. In the next few weeks, election fever rose to its highest pitch, and all the girls had a Hwacky party. After the voters once again had cast their ballots, the juniors took over and presented a masterful production of junior Miss. And Senior Gene Gooding stole the show! P. S.-The gals paid, this week. With their consecutive victory string at three, the football squad chose Bonnie Frommer as Homecoming Queen with attendants Gerry Dykes and Evelyn Stahl also watching the Trojans pick up their sixth win of the season, After the best All-School party program in years, the coronation of Queen Jeanne Bowman and,King john Knoll took the spotlight. The coronation proved a fitting climax to a perfect evening. These events and others like them afforded the material from which the fall World staff, Walter Menninger, Editor, and Donna Deck, Business Manager, fashioned news for you for a semester.
