SENIOR CLASS HISTORY The show is on! Twenty-eight actors and actresses comprise the characters in the cast of a “Peep into the Deep.’ With Mr. Shafer as the casting director. Earl Payne as the stage manager, Leon Holman as assistant stage manager. Kathryn Stanford as business manager, and Betty Bissey as circulation manager, the production of this great dramatic serial begins. Act one, scene one of a “Peep into the Deep takes place in the fall of ’36 and the spring of ’37 at a little village about one hundred miles east of St. Louis, called Clay City. Our eyes are turned toward a classroom in the Clay City Community High School where a group of twenty-eight “green freshmen” are receiving their first instructions. This group seems to take a backward attitude toward the whole situation but we can easily understand the reason why, for as yet they do not know where they are wanted and where they are not wanted. By the middle of January 1937 they have become fairly well acquainted with the customs of the school and in scene two of act one we find a grouj) of very industrious lads and lassies with their minds centered upon stack after stack of semester examination papers. This seems to be the climax and as the school year ends the curtain falls over act one. As the curtain rises on act two we find the same group of students beginning their second year of high school. There has been a slight change in the management Mr. Barnett has taken over the position as stage manager, and Earl Payne and Leon Holman have changed offices otherwise the management remains the same. In scene two of act two we find out what a disagreeable group these boys and girls are. The scene opens upon a class meeting and we begin to wonder what we’ve gotten into. It sounds like a swarm of geese and looks like a riot of some sort. Tnis is nothing unusual though, all of their class meetings are like this. The curtain falls and everyone gives a sigh of relief as another school year draws to a close. After a lapse of time—supposedly three months—the curtain rises on act three. My! My! Will this great drama never end? As the years go by the production of this drama becomes more and more complicated, therefore there is a great change made in the management for this term. There are two casting directors, Miss Zinkler and Miss Bainbridge. The stage manager is Leon Holman, his assistant is Kathrvn Stantord. the business manager is Norma Weiler, and the circulation manager is Betty Bissey. The course of events is much the same as it was during the two preceding years. In scene two of act three we find the class busily engaged in decorating the gymnasium for the annual Junior-Senior Banquet. After the decorating is finished we find that the gymnasium has been completely transformd into a Western Dude Ranch called the CCC Rancho. A few nights later the Juniors and Seniors gather i; the CCC Rancho to enjoy
