Act . s ,tt v, vw -. 'X t Elizabeth Tonkins anxiously searches Tracy Johnson's face as Toby Green voices his suspicion of measles. The romantic lure of Paris, an ocean cruise, and two 19 year old girls are a few of the elements that are combined in Our Hearts were Young and Gay , a three act play by Cornelia Otis Skinner and Emily Kimbrough. This comedy is the story of Cornelia and Emily's hilarious mishaps and misadventures on the way and in Paris. There was the time Emily fElizabeth Tonkinsj threw a deck chair to an overboard man, hitting him on the head. There was also the problem of how to smuggle a very measly Cornelia past the health inspector and into France. The play was performed December 2, 3, and 4, and the following weekend on the 9, 10, after weeks of preparation. The actors and Director Gene DeWild put in many hours to present it, with the aid of Mr. DeWild's theater productions class, Stage Manager Kim Kelly and all of the backstage workers. si., gzai..,,,,,,, L Wk Y- WC?

Last summer the girls flew to Sitka while the boys spent their week in Fairbanks at the University of Alaska. To be chosen for Girls or Boys State one must be recommended by a teacher, fill out an application, and be interviewed by the American Legion represen- tative from Fairbanks. It is truly an honor to be elected . uill And Scroll Porcupines And Papyrus Students who belong to Quill and Scroll are mem- bers of an international honorary society for high school journalists.
