The big night has arrived! By special invitation we are going to see a perform- ance of The History of the Qformerl Ridge Seniors of l953. As the curtain rises we see eleven tiny, awe-stricken first-graders under the instruction of Mrs. Smith, Members of the cast in the first act are: Juanita Grunden, Ralph Matthews, Ray Sterling, Janet Bowers, Charles Sanderson, and Kay Maxson. Margaret Dunifon, Mary K. Poe, Josephine Clark, and Gene Goodwin are in the starring roles. Gene Goodwin shoots a paper-wad and is immediately sent to the office. Similiar occurrances are repeated several times during the play. Mrs. Smith is also the teacher in the second grade. When the pupils go through the third grade, they are under the instruction of Miss Slattery. Through the grades, many pupils are added and many more move away. When the pupils are in the fourth and fifth grades, Mrs. Hyman is the instructor, and in the sixth, it is Miss Ramsey. The curtain falls and the first act is over. After a short intermission, the curtain Goodwin, Byron Good, Paul Moorman, Barry Groathouse, Virginia Ross, and Frank Pollock. The students seem to be very excited about something, We hear one of Them exclaim Golly, just thinkl We're in Ju- nior High now, right upstairs with all the high school. Mr. Hebb is the instructor during the seventh grade and Mr. Wood is in the eighth. Nothing very exciting happens during this act except that everyone is anticipat- ing the third act, when the students are in high school. Another short intermission and the curtain rises again, this time on only seven players, Mary K. Poe, Margaret Dunifon, Josephine Clark, Gene Goodwin, Byron Good, Paul Moorman, and Bill Hart The freshman year began with initia- tion. What an ordeal! During the sophomore year the big excitement was the ordering of the class rings which came at the beginning of the Junior year. Most of the Junior year was centered around the class play Have a Heart , and plans for the Junior-Senior Prom. My, what a lavish affair! The theme was In rises again. The cast has changed some- the Garden of Tomorrow . The evening what. Players now on the stage are Kay began with a banquet and later everyone Maxon, Mary K. Poe, Josephine Clark, danced to the music of Don Underwood's Margaret Dunifon, Nelda Bradford, Gene orchestra. The final scene is rather sad but it is new and different too. Middle Point and Ridge Schools have merged and are now one. There are ten members in the Senior class: Bonnie Kimmey, Alice Baldauf, Carolyn Wueller, Josephine Clark, Margaret Dunifon, Mary K. Poe, Marcia Priddy, Gene Goodwin, Paul Moorman, and Jack Peck. What with the class play, Moon Shy , annual, Prom, graduation, and class trip, besides the usual classes, tests, sports and parties, it is a very busy year. The play is over now, The cast is sorry to see it end because they have enjoyed the time spent on it and have also received some valuable pointers from it for future use. Although they are sorry to see it end it is also a relief to know that it is over, and too, everyone is anxious to see what the future holds for him.
