Play Committees The senior class of 1941 chose as its play uWhat A Lifeln by Clifford Goldsmith. It was selected not only because of its lightness and gaiety, but also, because of its modern angles and setting. The play, which ran on Broadway, tells of the plight of a certain Henry Aldrich-a typical high school student. The three scenes of the comedy are staged in the principal's office at Central High School. The new sets and luxurious furniture which adorned the stage added to the beauty and reality of the play. Not only did the audience greatly enjoy the scenes, but both performances were a success financially. The cast was made up of twenty-three talented seniors who turned in top performances for both shows. The cooperation of the cast along with the splendid coaching of Miss Sonke combined to make this play the most successful production given at Central in the last ten years. The cast is deeply indebted to all the members of the various committees who made the production of HWhat A Life! a successful undertaking. Row 1: T. Boslooper, A. McCurdy, S. Grinnell, J. Brower, F.
