Seniors Work but Enjoy Play Rehearsals Cast members for the senior play practiced for approx- imately six weeks before giving a matinee and an ev- ening performance, November 16 and 17. The comedy involved a rich lady whose children tried to get her committed to a mental institution so they could get control of her money. Trying to stay in character, memorizing lines, practic- ing a long time without props, missing cues, messing around backstage, putting on all that make-up, and blowing a few lines during the final performance all added up to a play that must have been hysterically funny by the way the audience was laughing.

Seniors Hold Annual Picnic at Tuttle Creek Left over pop, potato salad, baked beans, and about 100 hot dogs could describe the end of the senior pic- nic, May 15 at Tuttle Puddle. Two bus loads of seniors and the four class sponsors, Mrs. Ann Bay, Mrs. Edna Doperalski, Mr. John Harsh- barger, and Mr. Dwight Hemmerling, made their way to the lake stopping on the way to pick up ice cream bars and fudge sickles in Manhattan. After unloading, a lively softball game took place. Other seniors could be found playing with frisbees, hiking, and eating. Meanwhile, many girls sunbathed down by the lake. Soon throwing people into the lake and swimming in unauthorized areas became the popular pastime. Mark Asher, Jeff Birk, and Danny Guth spent part of the afternoon scuba diving. Before departure time, water fights and cans of pop being shaken up and then opened on some unaware person ended the picnic. Sun-bumed, dirty, wet, and tired the seniors returned to Wamego after spending their final day as a class together.
