Senior Play Packs Them In Both Nights “The Mouse That Roared” proved to be an excellent Senior Play last Thursday and Friday. It played to a full house both nights. The delicate satire of it came over well under the able direction of Gerald Liohti. There were lots of good lines in it, and the audience appreciated them. Beth Walters was the beautiful Gloriana of the little kingdom of Grand Fenwick. She played her role regally as she recalled reading that those countries defeated in war by the United States always manage to do better financially. Brian McDonald was a fine hero who led a small but determined invasion force against the U.S. His army of Phil Hahn, Jim Snider, Irvin Kanode, Larry Metzker and Jim Hoyt was wonderful and added a great deal of fun to the evening. When they got to New York, they captured General Snippet, who was none other than Jim Stillson. The General carried a swagger stick, and his two daughters were his WAC aides, played by Judy Stoops and Sandra Roose. They also captured an atomic scientist and his new Q Bomb, which had the power to blow up all of Europe. Fred Helmuth was fine in this role. The successful invasion causes great consternation to the President of the U.S., done well by Tim Price, and his Secretary of State, ably performed by John Yarian. Two of the principals of the cast were the heads of the rival parties in Grand Fenwick. Tom Greene and Bill Schori were these, and they both had demanding parts which they executed well. A good touch of humor was added by four bird watching American tourists who happened to stumble on this 'little kingdom. Candy Hockert, Lynda Lehman, Cindy Best and Vickey Frazier were light and funny with some good lines. Bonnie Stump and Barb Guard were the two bored ladies in waiting. Viola Ohupp played the hero’s mother with dignity. Duncan Sinclair played a brief but good part as the air raid warden who was sure he saw people from another planet. Teri Robinson’s brief appearance as a patriotic housekeeper added an amusing moment. We particularly liked Jill Yoder as the wine stained little gal, and Cathy made a cute page. Carolyn Thompson and Linda Muntz were secretaries, and extremely good looking ones. The whole cast w'as excellent, and the Senior Play lived up to its promise of good entertainment.

NAPANET 4-H CLUB On April 21, the meeting was brought to order by Roberta Grimm. The 4-H pledge was led by Cathy Tobias and the American pledge was led by Elli Albert. Marcia Wagner led the group in a few songs which was followed by the secretary report by Nancy Maust. Roll call had to be answered by a favorite flower. The health and safety report was given by Cathy Tobias concerning tornado safety around the home. Roberta Grimm then announced that the dues are to be paid by the next meeting, which is May 19. Nat McQuinn and Gail Thompson led a game and then refreshments were served by Lynette Clem, Cathy Tobias and Denise Verstraete. President Robe rt a Grimm adjourned the meeting. < HURT IN ACCIDENT Diane Hare, 457 N. Hartman, received bad cuts and a compound fracture of her shoulder when her car skidded off Route 19 Sunday. She was headed south and apparently fell asleep at the wheel. Her car went along the side of the road and hit a utility pole 30 feet from the pavement.

Teen Scenes By Mary Jane Tobias

Is everybody ready for the prom? (Juniors?) Really this will be the last big event for the seniors before graduation. Somehow the best is always saved for last, and it SHOULD be wonderful this year. I can’t see how any silly senior or junior would want to miss it.. (I guess I answered my own question they’re silly!) Have all of you seniors picked up your announcements yet? I found out, for the first time, when we are graduating. I never knew until I opened an announcement up. I don’t think I’m alone in that respect, either. Well, how did you like the play? Personally I enjoyed it thoroughly, but I’m probably just a “little” bit prejudiced, being a senior. I thought everybody did a good job, (except for a couple little noticeable pauses), but those that stick out in my mind, w'ere J. B. Stillson, as Gen. Snippert, Bill Schori as David Benter, Brian McDonald as Tully, Fred Helmuth, the professor, and of course, the soldiers. If you were there, you undoubtedly noticed how beautiful Beth Walters looked; she really fit the part. I guess the cast had a riot at the party down at Tim Prices’ after the play on Friday; they earned every bit of their fun —a lot of nervous hours went into play production. Next year’s cheerleaders were elected last Tuesday in a big messy, confusing (supposedly simplified) election. I know' just hew much of all that it was, too; I was in charge, (maybe that’s why!)

B-Team: Sue Rowland, Cathy Tobias (my little sis), Deb Kauffman, Pam Masterson and Amy Tobias, Alternate (she’s my first cousin). A pretty talented and good looking bunch of girls, they’re sure to be good representatives of our school, and supporters for our boys. The G.A.A. girls played their last volleyball game of the season, with Pierceton, and every team (A, B, C, D) conquered its opponent. For its year’s record the A Team was 9 and 3, B Team 6 and 6, C-3 and 2, D-4 and 1. Now they’re in track. (They really look cute in their cleats). Barb Wise and Rosemary Hepler were presented with plaques at Purdue University for the ’.points they earned in G.A.A. Other>giris. will also get this plaque before the year’s end. Boy, our track team pulled through in great shape at the Goshen Relays a beautiful huge trophy, plus little trophies for each of the boys for all of their efforts. We’re really proud of you, boys! (Keep it up). % Mr. Ellie Hajsan presented the last assembly program last Friday. Many said it was the best of the year. He related many stories of his experiences while traveling with the world famous Globe Trotters —and were they funny! Well, gotta go! See you next week! ESCAPE MECHANISM: The Romans had their gladiators, the Orientals have their opium, and we have our Westerns.
