Syracuse Junior Class Play Was Excellent By JAMESON MAUZY And ROGER STIVER The tension is now oyer for the Juniors for their class play is over. They gave two performances, one for the 7th and Bth grades, and the other Friday night, both were excellent. The part of the bewildered, worried, Hildegard Dolson was portrayed by Barbara Arnold. Her emotions were very well cast upon the audience. Hildegard couldn’t seem to get a date for the prom. That’s when her mother, played by Lorraine McGill, stepped in. Here the fun began. Mrs. Dolson called her husband’s boss, Mrs. Shermer, played by Rosemary Bushong, and arranged for her son, Fred, played by Bill Bushong, to accompany Hildegard to the prom. Incident after incident weaved the plot of this humerous play. Hildegard’s two brothers, played by Bill Cripe and John Edgar, gave her a lot to worry about and the audience got the impression. Poor Mr. .Dolson, played by Lynn Pittman, had real troubles thanks to his four children. Hildegard hjid help haressing her father from her sister, played by Ginger Brown. The fact that Hildegard’s date was Mr. Shermer’s son didn’t help matters. Mr. Shermer, played by Fritz Hann, made the audience roar. Hildegard had other trouble makers to confront, her brother’s girl friends, played by Judy Lantz and Ann Kowallik. It was a wonderful play and everyone should have seen it instead of reading this awful review. Budget Investment President In Indiana Victor Payne, president of Budget Investments, arrived by plane at the Fort Wayne airport Sunday, Oct. 29, from Tuscon, Ariz. Mr. Payne spends most of his time at Tuscon. While in Indiana, Mr. Payne will visit the various branch offices. He was at Budget Investments in Syracuse, Monday, Oct. 21, he then drove to the home office at Rushville for a board meeting..

Mr. Payne has a cottage at Tippecanoe Lake and is well known in this area.

Milford School News By EARLEEN FISHER This year the basketball queen will be chosen by popular vote of the student body. Three senior girls, Carolyn Biller, Connie Hartter, and Anni Lange, were chosen by their class. One of these girls will reign during the 1963 - 64 basketball season. The other two girls will be princesses. Freshmen, sophomore, and junior girls were also selected to be princesses; they are Vicki Beer, Connie Biller, and Arlene Anglin, respectively. This year’s “TROJANETTE” will have a white padded cover with green trim and lettering. Subscriptions may be purchased from Sally Keller, Ann! Lange, and Jeff Dippon. Next Tuesday the photographer from Robert’s Studio will be here to take group pictures. SENIOR OF THE WEEK ROXANNA BIRD Whenever there are tickets to be made, money to be counted, or figures to be added, the senior class calls on Roxie. She is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Albert Henry Bird. Rpxanna was born September 1, 1946. Her hair is reddish brow; her eyes, grey, green, or blue, by turn. Roxanna belongs to the homemaking club, Rekamemoh; plays the cymbals in the high school j band; and types for the "TROJAN TELLER AND TROJANETTE”. She is majoring in English, social studies, home economics, and commerce. Roxanna’s ambition in life is to be a secretary. Her secret ambition is to be the secretary at MHS. After graduation she plans to go to business school and study to become a secretary. Roxanna’s pet peeves are gossip and two-faced people. If she could change our institution of public education, she would add a larger range of commercial subjects and more comfortable seats. Her advice to underclassmen is “Study before you become a senior, and don’t talk about upperclassmen.” ~A famous person she would like to be is Miss America. Roxanna will never own a cats (She is allergic to ’them!) If she had a million dollars, she would move to Arizona. Roxanna’s favorites are color, navy blue; sport, basketball; food, bar-b-que chicken; book, “Les Misefables;” singer, Pat Boone; song,' “Love Makes The World Gq Round;” actor, Vincent Edwards; actress, Carol Lynley; movie, “Forty Pounds of Trouble;” subject, bookkeeping; pastime, sewing. SENIOR NEWS By SALLY KELLER A senior class meeting was held Friday. Oct. 18. We decided to have white roses as our . class flower. Report cards were handed out for the first six weeks. Some of the facial expressions were indescribable. But I guess all survived and, naturally, the seniors did well. Mrs. Haab, our director, said she is waking up nights reciting parts of our play. We want to ex- I press our gratitude to her for being so patient and being a really good play director. Without her our play could never have been presented so well. Senior pictures have been taken. There has probably been a rise in the sale of sedatives as parents anticipate the bills. It took four periods to complete the picture taking of thirteen girls; however, it took only three periods to snap twenty-five boys. But the greatest senior class ever made a superior showing and we really have a class to be proud of. SOPHOMORE NEWS By JANE BAUMGARTNER Class meetings were held last Friday and we elected our princess to reign with the queen. Connie Biller was voted our sophomore “princess.” Others nominated were Carol Chambers, Susanne Dewart and Joellen McClintic. We also had a report from Michelle Conn on a recent Student Council meeting. It was concerning the honor roll system this year. In have been given the task of writing a 10-page, type written, short story by the end of this six weeks. If you have any ideas don’t be to bashful to send them in. We can sure use them!
