RADIO PLAY Mary and the Fairy Leit to right—Marian Zoller, Mari© Pool, Pauline Baxley, Darline Purdy, Delores Saia, Alice Lauer. The dramatics class this year had two major plays and several one- acts under production. In the fall the play “Nine Girls”, a psychological murder story, was produced. Ramona Turpin did outstanding character work as “Mary”, a college girl who murders two of her sorority sisters. Alice Lauer played “Eve”, the sorority sister who stumbles onto the solution of the crime. Others in the cast were Frieda Phipps, Nova Phipps, Velda Rop- er, Marie Pool and Jo Earp. The Spring production, “Spider Island”, had to be cancelled at the last moment due to the fact that one student in the play had to move away. The Senior Class kept dramatics rolling in the Spring with the pro- duction of a comedy, “Brother Goose,” in May. Two one-acts and one radio play were produced publicly. These were “Orville’s Big Date”, “G-Ladies”, and “Mary and the Fairy”. shotput McConnell melancholy DOUBLE-X MURDER

Band Front Row—C. June, D. Gooderham, J. Lounsbury, C. Niepoth, A. Carlson, D. Outright, B. Maresch, J. J. Craig, G. Zoller, L. D. Yarber, Hart. BAND - ORCHESTRA Composed mostly of eighth, ninth and tenth graders this year, the band, under the supervision of Mi3s Weber, furnished music for our football and basketball games, rallies and assemblise. As so many of the members were lower classmen, future bands should contain many cap- able people. The dance orchestra was reorganized this year as a school activity with the money being put into a fund for orchestral use. Much new mus- ic has been purchased with the money. A new addition to the orchestra was the bass viol. The orchestra furnished music for many of the school dances. Miss Weber. Charles Watkins, Howard Lance.
