Senior Class Pla A nervous wreck, a strange Frenchman, a fortune teller, and a kidnapper, incorporated together, provided a very hilarious evening for those who witnessed the senior class play entitled The Nervous Wreck or Please, My Nerves. The play was about a young man named Jimmy Washburn, fRonald Crookstonb who had a very bad case of nerves. Ralph Wilson, Jimmy's doctor, CPaul Wislockyj had made arrangements for Jimmy to stay at a small hotel owned by Mrs. Higains, Uudy Cimboraj for a rest. Then the fun began. Staying at the hotel were three quests who were very stranae. One of these was Pierre Bonaparte, a French adagio dancer, CBill Moroccoj who was trying to make amends with his dancing partner. Another was a nice old ladv who was hard of hearina. Her name was Althea Coldwater, alias Bud Hicks, fGil Burkell. He or she, whichever pronouns you want to use, was an escaped kidnapoer wanted bv the police. The third was Madam X, fNancv Maiernikb who owned a magic ring which would arant wishes. The antics of these three people com- bined reallv aave Jimmy Washburn a rest. Nat onlv did he become uoset. but the rest of the hotel was in an uproar. Cynthia, the six- teen year old daughter of Mrs. Higgins, CDar- lene Schrockl who was already a little rattle- brained, became worse, when she obtained posession of Madam X's ring. By wishing with the ring, she complicated matters. Pat Fundis was the older Higgins daughter, Alice. Eddie Higgins, the seventeen year old son, fMyro Dentb who was always getting into trouble, made Jimmy's nerves worse than ever when he threw a carton of firecrackers into a fire, accidentally. Not until the kidnapper is unmasked, Pierre gets a new dancing partner, who, by the way, is Tildy Mae Jenkins, the maid for Mrs. Higgins, fCarole Brownl and Gladvs and J. M. Burr, CDolores Cunningham and Ed Man- dichl come and settle things, does Jimmy find peace. Gladys was the fiancee of Jimmy. J. M. Burr, her father, daesn't approve of Jimmy. Finally, J. M. Burr gives Gladys and Jimmy his blessing. The play was directed by Mr. Lloyd and Elaine Smithbower, who were aided by Juli- ann Bayko and Regina Rossetti as prompters, Lillian Ventura and Josephine Cimprich, who were in charge of make-up, while Carl Zigaro- vich, Ed Cigich, Don Ammon, and Victor Ca- pets were members of the stage crew.

arsity Club The Trafford Varsity Club, sponsored by Mr. Karanovich and Mr. Kellner, elected Jack Kopylcheck as President, Stanley Zimmerman as Vice President, and Walter Lawson as Sec- retary-Treasurer. The club had a membership of twenty- two and its main purpose was to raise money to buy jackets for the graduating members. Those graduating were Stanley Zimmerman, Ray Hiner, John Doperak, Arthur Toocheck, Carl Zigarovich, Ed Cigich, Joe Schopp, and Ed Mandich. The club also wanted to pur- chase sweaters for the Juniors who belonged. After the boys set their goal, they de- cided to sell Christmas cards and necklaces. The money they received from selling these articles wasn't enough, so the officers dis- cussed another project with Mr. Semes. Mr. Semes gave his permission and the club was on its way to sponsor a basketball game be- tween the Seniors and Faculty. Some of the members of the Varsity Club participated in the money-raisina campaian, while those that didn't play, sold tickets to the students. The student body turned out in f'-ll force to see the Seniors beat the Facultv, 57 to 46. This was the first senior team in about five years to send the teachers down in defeat, much to the suprise and disappointment of the faculty and joy of the students. Mr. Siegel, Mr. Karanovich, Mr. Trembath, Mr. Miller, Mr. Kellner, and Anthony Zigaro- vich upheld the Faculty, while Carl Zigarovich, John Mikan, Art Toocheck, Sam Draganac, Stanley Zimmerman, Don Ammon, Bob Green, Joe Schopp, and Ed Cigich played for the Seniors. . The Faculty came out in new uniforms, which strangely resembled pajamas, both summer and winter styles. However, these were discarded when the game began. The Seniors took an early lead of about twenty points which they held for the first half. The teachers rallied, but slowly fell behind again. Many fouls were called on the Sen- iors, whether they had been committed or not, but the Faculty was still left far behind. High scorers were Stan Zimmerman of the Seniors with 14 points and Mr. Siegel of the Faculty with T5 points. The game was very entertaining and en- abled the Varsity Club to almost reach its goal. A few dances were held and the jackets were bought. lst Row Seated, left to right-R. Hiner, A. Washko, A. Toocheck, J. Schopp, K. Matulia, C. Zigarovich, N. Klujaric, R. Faulk, J.

Junior Class Pla At their first attempt at drama, the Junior Class presented Aunt Cathie's Cat , a mystery comedy. An old house which two old maid aunts bought was the center of activity. The 'Fun began as two Spanish servants, unknown to the aunts, sneak around the house very mysteriously. One aunt, looking in the cellar for her cat, gets knocked down and hurt. Of course the police are called in and solve the mys- tery. However, instead of only one romance, there are three: the real estate agent and a niece of the aunts, the cop and a servant, and the most surprising the old maid aunt and her ex-boyfriend take over where they had left oft. Zora Yourcheck and Patty Morocco were the two old maid aunts, Jane and Cathie Tremble. Judy Dumm was a niece of the aunts, Margaret Peggy Trem- ble, while Judy lovino played her younger sister, Dorothy Tremble. Jim Barsic took the part of Bill Pryor, a young real estate agent and Bill's sister, Liz Pryor, was played by Sydney Graham. Joan Vince and Joe Rufio were the mysterious Spanish servants. Their son, Juan Garcia, was Nick Cavalancia. Gerald Pasca- dor was the gas man and Michael Gotch played the cop. Sandra Camp was an- other servant, Tilly Pitts, and Miss Walker, a traveling saleswoman, was por- trayed by Carolyn Brown. Mr. Brent, as the owner of the house, was Walter Lawson. Make-up was by Donna Schutz and Joanne Lawrence, prompting by Dor- othy Rishel and Antoinette Paola, and tickets were sold by Nadine Walko, Mary Ann Snopko, and Gary Fresh. On the stage crew were, Nick Kliucaric, Bill Daugh- erty, Leroy Wampler, and Joe Drakulic. The play was under the capable direction of Mr. Lloyd, the faculty advisor.
