Kaye was engaged to Jeff Scudder, a medical student, but due to the influence of the East upon her she broke her engagement. Instead she was engaged to Kingston Campbell, a sophisticated Easterner. When Kaye’s family heard this from Cyrus Scudder, Jeff’s uncle, they were astonished. Later Kaye returned home for the summer informing them that the Campbells, Kingston and his mother, Augusta, were coming for a visit. Augusta was dubious about Kaye’s background. Meanwhile, Kaye’s family and friends prepared to greet the Campbells as full-blooded hillbillies. Kaye was visiting a friend while all this was going on. In the end Kaye broke her engagement to Kingston and became engaged to Jeff. Mr. James Ulrich was director, and Dan Gonczy, student-director. 23 “Wow, was that stuff strong!” exclaimed Ma after drinking it.

“Throw up your brains,” says Ma Brannigan as she discovers the Campbells in her livine room. Astonished and frightened, bashful Betsy runs under table as Catalpa and Cyrus watch. Dick and Kingston carry Augusta into the bedroom after her fainting spell.

Swinging partners to the Mexican hat dance are Carole Christiansen, Bruce Shimala, and Elaine Pardo, Ruben Pardo. South Americans have very old and quaint traditions, some of which, are learned in the two-year course of Spanish. The Spanish Club teaches customs of their way of life and shows the warmth of these people. The breaking of the pinata at Christmas is one highlight of the club. This is a bag hung from the ceiling filled with small gifts. Children surround the bag waiting their turns to break it and choose their presents. Much laughter takes place at the “Chili Bowl”—the basketball game between the first-year students, “burros,” and second-year, “tor-ros.” Girls watch the game cheering in Spanish and laughing at the boys in their Spanish costumes. Other activities of the club are the annual club initiation, school dances, trips, and parties. Mr. Jack Taylor is the sponsor of the club. As?
