Out of a maze of cookies, jewels, and crystal-gazers, the seniors presented a three-act mystery comedy, UAsk Me An- other, on March 27 in the high school auditorium. The plot was centered around stolen jewels that were brought to light by the clever newspaper woman, Joyce Mar- tin, played by Colleen Newkirk. The opposite lead of Mike Warren, a handsome newspaper reporter who had shady ino- tives, was portrayed by Victor Wiegand. Cordelia Denns had the comedy role of the office girl, Wilma, who made every- thing her business. The part of Marko, the mystic, who plot- ted to gain a reward, was outstandingly characterized by Roy Wingate. Eloise Archer, the snobbish society girl who knew how to slam a door, was vividly portrayed by Juanita Groh. James Rowlands was a typical grouchy managing editor in the part of Mr. Gates, his efficient society editor, Mrs. Snell, was played by Tommy Lou Price, and Aunt Sally, whose cookie boxes furnished an ideal hiding place for the jewels, was portrayed by Bonnie Davis. Elaine Mi11er's interpretation of the wealthy clowager whose jewels were stolen furnished countless laughs. Bill Hamilton as Sylvester, the cook who posed as the unknown Marco, was hilarious in his droll humor. The portrayal of Shorty Cass, an underworld character. was convincingly played by James Clark. The detective, Joe Weber, was played by Orville Spahr, who practiced handcuffing the cast backstage. Many committees worked hard on publicity and stage DTO- perties, and the entire class helped to make the play success- ful by selling tickets. .16- Ask Me Another Inf C1JI.Ll,l'N NI Wlililli CAST Slumlzngs lflsinc Millar.

We had one junior boy on the first team basketball, se- veral ers on the second team. Three, of the four debaters are niors, and practically the whole junior class went out for ootball, speaking of the boys of course. Then we also find that a large percent of the Boys Glee Club, Girls Glee Club and A Cappella 'Choir are made up of juniors. M7 . Now you see that with all these things, and there are lots more but we do not have the space to write them all down. Now you see why the four grades below us and the one above us can't help but look at us with both awe and admiration. And now to complete our story we want to tell you just a little about the best banquet ever given in W.H.S. Our theme was The End of the Rainbowf' -and it was carried out with .. . f the rainbow in decorations, place cards, and in 'th ogram. The banquet and prom were enjoyed by all at- L. , 01.6 .
