PAGE 22 Senior Class History On September 9, 1940, eighteen of the present Senior Class presented themselves to Miss Getts of the first grade and demanded an education. Miss Wisner and Miss Hamman guided us through the second and third grades. Miss Dirrim, Mrs. Kuehn, and Mr. Gurtner helped us through the fourth, fifth, and sixth grades. We were under the guidance of Mr. Shore and Mr. McIntosh in junior high. We started our freshman school year with an enrollment of forty-one. Mr. Leslie was our faculty advisor. Our sophomore year was another year which we enjoyed very much. We sold Christmas cards and stationery to raise money. We were very proud when we purchased our red and white sweaters. Mrs. Reed and Mr. Shideler acted as our faculty advisors. During our junior year we presented our class play, “Bolts and Nuts,” under the direction of Mr. Long with Mr. Buesking acting as our faculty advisor. In order to raise money for our senior trip we sponsored the school concession stand. That year we also purchased our class rings. As seniors we had an enrollment of thirty-one. “The Monkey’s Uncle” was a smash hit under the direction of Mr. Long. We sponsored several paper drives to raise money for the Rosebud and senior trip to Washington, D. C. Mr. Bowers helped with the Rosebud and Mr. Dove acted as faculty advisor. Phyllis Hissong, Class Historian “The Monkey's Uncle’ Gary Abershaw, handsome young architect and eligible bachelor, has invited his foster nephew, Tommy Piper, to spend the coming school year with him. Gary has never seen Tommy’s eighteen-year-old sister, Bonnibel, and his mean stepfather, Sam Higgins. Gary plans to adopt Tommy and decides he must marry in order to provide his son with a suitable mother. He invites two candidates for that position to spend the week-end—a young widow, Lili Dazell, and his secretary, Rhonda Yates—much against the advice of his lovable, Negro housekeeper, Aunt Dosie. Unknown to Gary, Sam Higgins is trying to force Bonnibel to marry his half-baked son, Milo, in hopes of getting her property in his hands. She runs away and arrives at Gary’s, dressed in Tommy’s clothes and carrying a pet skunk, creating a perfect furor! Bonnibel, head over heels in love with Gary, determines no other woman shall marry him. Accordingly, she plays all manner of monkey tricks on her rivals, Lili and Rhonda. With the aid of her pet skunk, Sweet William, Bonnibel thwarts her enemies, routs Sam Higgins and Milo, and finally captures the man of her heart and ends the play in a whirlwind finale.
