The Junior Class What a Wonderful feeling it was to become a Junior and to be recognized by all as an upperclass- man. Soon after the opening of school, Bob Schneider was elected our class president and prom king. Den- nis Gagan and Ruth Bunke were also elected to class offices. The Junior class was successful in nominating and electing Bob Lauson to the position of president of the Student Senate in one of the most thrilling races in the history of our school elections. Homecoming provided an added thrill as Linda Taagen, queen, led the grand march in the beauti- fully decorated gym at the homecoming dance. Everyone was proud to wear his class ring chosen by a class vote from three which had been selected by the ring committee. OFFICERS Ruth Bunke - - Secretary-treasurer Robert Schneider ---- President Dennis Gagan - - Vice-president pn . rown of Glory Junior athletes such as Roger Johnson and Ilo Rauscher displayed their Hspunkl' and determination to Win in every game played.

This year's senior class play, Our Hearts Were Young and Gay , was taken from the real-life experience of Emily Kimbrough and Cornelia Otis Skinner. The play was directed by Miss Barbara E. Necker and Miss Roselyn Zukoski, assisted by Lucille Wardius, student director. When two young girls such as Cornelia Otis Skinner CMary Lou Millardl and Emily Kimbrough tSusan Kircherj start off on a trip to Paris, there is bound to be plenty of excitement. This is what worried Mr. and Mrs. Skinner tChuck Gessert and Mary Matenaerl as they bid the girls farewell. Emily starts the ball rolling when she makes a futile at- tempt to rescue a man who has gone overboard. Emily's only difficulty was that she used a deck chair as the buoyant object to be thrown to a drowning victim, and it hit him right on the head. This leads to hilarious situations with the admiral tSteve Schatzj, the purser t.Iohn Koehnj, the steward tDick Ruppinj, and the stewardess tBarbara Devinej. Throughout the entire play the girls are trying to dispose of the safety-pockets which their mothers gave to them as go- ing-away gifts. However, each time the girls thought they had successfully gotten rid of those things, they were gallantly returned by the ship's admiral. Harriet St. John and Winifred Blaugh tDarlis Justman and Carol Gonringj, bring a touch of jolly old Englandw into the scene as they commute between their stateroom and Cor- nelia and Emi1y's in an attempt to get their teeth brushed. 'tFrightfully'l and Ripping have the uncanny ability of prying into other people's business. Dan Cupid has his sights set on Cornelia and Leo McEvoy tWalter Zieglerl, but has to work harder with Emily and Dick Winters tPaul Nausj. Leo and Dick are medical students attend- ing Harvard University. The night before the ship docks, Leo asks Cordelia if he could name their fraternity skeleton after her! Before reaching Paris, Cornelia contracts measles and has a hard time leaving ship because of the inspector tKristine Hoyj. The inspector does not realize that Cornelia has the measles but suggests that she be given a mental test. In Paris the girls have a battle with bedbugs in a hotel run by Madame Elise tCarole Weberl and her daughter Therese lBlanche Stowersp. A near tragedy occurs when Cornelia is told by her favorite French actor, Monsieur De La Croix fJim Puerlingl that she has no acting ability. However, everything ends happily when she eventually proves her talent and sails for home with happy memories of a well spent vacation.
