Auditorium, left to right are: Henry Chase, Marilyn Williamson, Lloyd Wilson, Beverly Taylor, Bob Collins, Janet Newland, Jane Blaine, Anna Lee Stevens, Lois Ann LeForce, Sally Goodpaster, Roy Shoultz, Leonard Dalquest. This year students of V. H. S. witnessed or participated in three dramatic productions, First was the Junior play, then Showdown, and finally the Senior play. The purpose of the plays are to give dramatic training, provide entertainment and raise money for the band and class funds. By accepted tradition at V. H. S. the Juniors present their annual play during the first semester. After four weeks of rehearsals, under the direction of Miss Virginia Hughes, Junior Class Sponsor, the play was presented in an afternoon and evening performance. On December 19 they staged Just Ducky in the gym. The plot centered in the home of a widow fAnna Lee Stevensl with twins fLeonard Dal- quest and Sally Goodpasterl and an older daughter fJanet Newlandl. A promise of a visit from the rich aunt of the family fJane Blainel sends them into feverish preparations in- cluding the changing of a son into a daughter since the aunt doesn't like boys. The aunt arrives and promptly breaks her hip. Because of the attention of a young doctor fLloyd Wil- Sonl and his pal fHenry Chasel, who are beaux of the older daughter's friends CMarilyn Wil- liamson and Beverly Taylorl, the aunt decided she likes men, even the bratish neighboring boyfRoy Shoultzl. Of course the play ends happily with the elder daughter hooking the boss's nephew fBobCollinsl, the pretending daughter being allowed to once more be a boy, and even the burly maid fLois Ann LeForcel is found doing something right for a change. lf.. sw '7 :lx P A typmcal scene from the 1949 Showdown For purposes of 1dent1f1cat1on the people are left to rmght the shelk wlth the barltone Darrel Baugh peeplng through the mass ofhalr John Tartar the head 1n the plcture frame Jerry Dlx on Dlrector Sally Goodpaster Master of ceremomes Jerry Zumwalt and Dlr ector Leonard Dalquest E- For a short wh1le followmg the .Tumor Play o productlons were under rehearsal mamly because the student body was out on the Chrlstmas vacatlon In January fevermsh prep aratxon for Showdown all school mus1cal re vue were begun After several false starts changes of theme and postponements of product1on date the b1g event came off on February 24 The theme for the slxth annual show was Among My Souvemrs Actually It was a serles of unconnected skmts runmng consecutlvely w1th no change of scenery or clos1ng of thecurtaln Pannmg the faculty 1m1tat1ngSp1ke .Tones and vocal spec1al1t1es connected only bya Master of Cerernomes made up the three act revue At the matlnee the Awards of the Year were presented a skull cap for Mr Cravens stllts for Mr Thompson sledge hammer for M1ss Hughes money makmg book for M1ss Mabery and spec1al lover s gloves for Ken J neth Hemphmll and Pxxle Martm In the even ster CIOWHS ,ng performance Kmng Show VI .Tack DeArmon BaH:n?2Z22omorel Klng ShOW V1 was c rowned by Band Queen Sally Goodpaster. ack Sally G00dPa DeArm l 4 8 . , K I ' .

On March Z5 the Senior Class presented the last full-scale dramatic production, the well-known Broadway play, Arsenic and Old Lace, directed by Miss Luanna Mabery. The play utilized the most elaborate stage setting and make-up of any production in recent years. Don Casto, Walter Taylor, and Leonard Rich, stage managers, supervised the building of full sized stairs. Marguerite Goodpaster, Beverly Williams and Virginia Mobley gathered up the antique furniture for the setting. The familiar plot traveled like this: Two sweet old maids fWanda Styron and Mary Jo Dupree? have come to the conclusion that the killing of lonely old men is their task in life. They dispose of the bodies by persuading their youngest nephew Uerry Zumwaltl who thinks he is Teddy Roosevelt, that the men are yellow-fever victims and must be buried. Another nephew fBill Meadowsj accidentally learns of the murder, and fearing that insan- ity runs in the family, tries to break his engagement to the daughter Uoyce Taylorl of the neighborhood pastor U ohn Tarterj. After preventing the elimination of one more elderly gentleman fDaniel OwenSl,he leavesfor a short while. ln his absence the remaining nephew fDarrell Baughl, whose face has been operated on and now resembles that of Boris Karloff, Comes home bringing with him his doctor friend fBob Gardej and a stiff KChar1esFosterJ. When the sane nephew returns he escapes being murdered by his brother when a police- man fRichard Archer, comes in to write a play. Other cops fBill Showler, Wayne Rhine- hart and Vernon Woolmanj wander in and capture the befuddled, scarred nephew. As the curtain closes the Superintendent of the Insane Asylum fHenry Asburyj who has come for Teddy is given a glass of poisoned wine by the two sweet aunts. Prompters for the play were Wanda Miller and Dolores Spurlin. --,- -A, 1-1 141, HH HAS l0VHI ISS V.H.S. abounds in beauties.

Student government in V.H.S. is almost as old as the school itself. Starting as far back as 1920, responsibility for student government has been handled by the Student Council. This same organization is still functioning under the sponsorship of W. F. Mills, who has been sponsor since 1944. From each class two representatives, the president and student council representative are elected. The band, glee club, F.H.O., T8zI, Hornet Staff, and Annual Staff are also rep- resented.
