To further a knowledge of Roman culture, class projects were required at different times during the year. Among these, posters were made and reports were given on books pertaining to Roman life. Amo, Amas, amatv was often heard from struggling first-year Latin students learning to conjugate verbs. Second-year students reviewed the Roman way of life during the Augustan Age through the eyes of two fic- titious Roman boys. The story was in Latin and had to be translated into English.

Sweep up that glass, miggahf' says Barbara Hall, threatening Teague, Becky Williford, Ruth Hodges, Gene Patterson, Nancy Ezell Willard with a poker, while the rest of the cast of A Ready- Pitts, and Thomas Kelly, look unconcernedly at poor departed Made Family, namely Eugene Baker, Patty Dawkins, Becky Horatio,s picture. Seniors Have Two Plays Instead Of lust One Early fall rather than spring, which had long been the customary time, was the period of this yearis senior playvg and instead of one play, two were given. Another departure from tradition was that the plays were pres- ented twice, once Wednesday in matinee and again Thursday night. The dates were October 12-13. The matinee innovation permitted many parents employed in industry to be able to see the plays. The Wednesday- Thursday schedule avoided conflict with Friday-night football games, Aliceis Blue Gown, a comedy in one act, centered around Patty CDoris Iohnsonl, who was the little sister of Alice Cjudy Manessl. Patty tried desperately to tell Alice her blue gown had arrived, but Alice paid no atten- tion to her sister until it was almost too late. The marriage of Agnes Martyn fNancy Pittsj, a Widow with three children fGene Patterson, Becky Teague, and Becky Willifordj to Henry Turner fThomas Kellyj, a widower with two children fPatty Dawkins, Eugene Bakerj, brought calamity and excitement to the Martyn home in A Ready-Made Family. Both sets of children disapproved the marriage and kept the audience amused with schemes to make their parents want an annulment. Miss Lydia fRuth Hodgesj, Agnes' sister-in-law, Begania CBarbara Hallj the cook, and Nicademus CEzell Wil- lardl, the handy man, also became involved in the plot, adding amusement to the play. Look naturalln Amelia Cody frightj is saying to fellow members of the cast of Alicels Blue Cownf' They are Cseatedj Doris johnson and Judy Maness, fstandingl Donna Armstrong, Myra jordan, and Jerri Bradbum. Could it be that Vera is so intent on watching the action on the stage that she is forgetting about Earl, who is waiting for her signal to close the curtains? 9l
