Seniors Play Cupid at St. V316HtiH6,S Formal Though the weather outside was stormy, there were happy goings-on inside as the third annual Sweetheart Ball was presented by the Class of '61. Adding to this warm and friendly atmosphere was the music of The Royalaires and the entertain- ment provided by The Tunisians. Climaxing the night was the crowning of the Sen- ior Queen. The suspense which had been growing for several months finally came to an end with the revelation that Janet Litwa would occupy the throne, The new queen was presented with a bou- quet of beautiful long-stemmed red roses and a sparkling crown. The other candidates also re- ceived tiaras and old fashioned bouquets of red carnations. The attractive surroundings, the friendly couples, and the lively music made the ball a memorable experience for all.

Seniors Present First Mystery Home Sweet Homicide, the First Who- Dun-It ever produced by a West Babylon Senior Class, was a hit on all counts - performance, new outdoor set, complete with live shrubberyg and program, with its cover by Tony Ange- lora. The story concerned three youngsters whose mother was not only a mystery writer but an attractive widow as well. The children wanted to see her acquire fame - and a husband - by solving a real-life mystery. Conveniently, a murder was committed in the house next door, and the young- sters set about linding the murderer and achieved both their purposes in the process. Kid brother Don Birch's resentment of being ordered around by older sister Judy Hoernel takes on a violent form. Big sister Linda Greene's intervention will bring peace and quiet to the Carstairs home once more - for about ten minutes.
