eniozf lair Hiffozfy It was in the year 1938 that a bewildered cast of freshmen were told that they were to take part in a four-act drama. Each was given a daily schedule of rehearsals and he began to study his lines. There were many difficulties, for these freshmen certainly were poor actors and actresses. However, the faculty of Clay High School took each player and taught him how to play his part so that the first act, in which they elected ofiicers and student council representatives, was not entirely a flop. After a three month intermission, the curtain rang up on the second act of the current play, Four Years in Clay High School. This act brought those who seemed so unim- portant in the first part into a little more prominent place. No longer did they look like green extras. They truly did look handsome in this act. They knew just what to do and when to do it. With the election of officers and Student Council representatives over, the play went on smoothly to the end of the second act. Each act brought these players a little closer to the climax of the play. As the third opens we see them busily going about their work. Again they meet to elect class oflicers and Student Council representatives. Then the scene changes, and we see that they are selecting their class rings. This, as you will notice, is one of the main currents of action during the third part. We enjoy the act, and as it comes to a close we see the players giving the Junior-Senior Prom at the Toledo Yacht Club on May sixteenth, Nineteen Hundred and Forty-One. The applause after this act can be compared only to a great thunder storm. Fanfares, bright lights and gay music precede the fourth and final act in the play. This year the actors and actresses who were so far in the background during the first act, are now the most important characters in this great four part drama. Every one else in the play steps aside to let them be in the lime light, The action in this act was more busy and interesting than in any of the three preceding ones. The characters are invited to have screen tests made by Livingston-of-Toledo. All of the characters were pleased with the results of their tests as we can see by their exhibition of pictures, one to the other. The Prom lent a spirit of gaiety in one scene. Slowly the scene changes from gay frivolity to solemn dignity. We hear the Vale- dictorian march begin, and slowly the main characters wend their way into the most thrilling climax of the play. Commencement has begun and one by one each star of the performance receives his diploma as a tribute to his fine acting. The four important parts in this final act were taken by David Grove, president, Robert Siglow, vice-president, Ann Carstensen, secretary, and Pearl Veselka, treasurer, supported by a superb cast. The curtain closes and the play is over. There is a curtain call and the cast gives a rising vote of thanks to the faculty who have done such a line job of directing, Four Years in Clay High School. 22 X
