LE R EcHoEsi1ii1Ziij Q1Ii ' plays sponsored by the schools in which each class would en- deavor to present the best one. The plays were judged by members of the Middlebburne Little Theatre. And lo the sen- ior cast walked off with the first prize. The school ex- claimei loudly, HHet eiggitty darn, they greatly deserved it.u And one day a freshman came unto the mighty class offi- cers who were Harry Myer, president, Jack Wilcox, vice-presi- dent, Wilma Underwood, secretary, and Gwynn Doak, treasurer, and spake unto them, saying, Uwhat must I do to be a senior?n And they all replied as in one voice, nThou must grow wiser in all the tricks of the trade. When we were freshmen we acted as freshmen and played with little dolls and tricyeles, but as we grew bolder we put aside such childish things, and new look at us. You behold seniors-so what?U And the freshie left much the wiser for his talk. On the twenty and fourth day of the third month of the year of our Lord, one thousand nine hundred thirty-six, in the library of the Tyler county high school, the class of '56 met to partake of the feast and frolic of the annual class party. Although one boy received a face full of whipped gelatin, every one enjoyed the gathering and it will always remain in the minds of the graduating class as the most en- joyable party they ever attended. And the senior class attended a banquet given in honor of them by the junior class. Here they were entertained and fed until a late hour. The library was like unto a uCandy- landn during this event. Amid the low, colored lights and the sweet music, made wierd by the multi-colored reflections from the huge mirrored crystal ball, the junior class and the senior class mingled as brothers and sisters for probably their last time. And after much arguing and wrangling among members of the senior play committee, and after there were only three of the original members left in the committee, a play enti- tled, UPatsy Strings Alengn was selected. Those receiving parts were as follows: Homer Martin, head of Lakeland Academy Virgil Wagner Harry Myer Patricia KPatsyJ Heath, late of vaudeville Frances Baker Wilma Underwood Mrs. Maria Great, Martin's housekeeper Audra Brewer Maxine Ripley Sue Taylor, her niece and maid of all work June Gorrell Evelyn Fuchs Ted Burns, of Yale, and the All American team Eward Allen Wendell Baker Jerry Malone, trainer of the Lakeland team Clarence Duckworth Gwynn Deak Charles Proctor, the town shylock Richard Smith Jack Wilcox -- Eiga, to .1936 -gf -.

And the freshmen and the sophomores and the seniors went about murmuring about the splendid Junior Fall Carnival the class presented on the twelfth day before Christmas.
