The year ' s major production, Ferber and Kaufman ' s Stage Door, presented a cast of thirty-two to sell-out audiences February 11 and 12 in social hall. Cast and crews carried on despite a blizzard during the all-important last week of rehearsal and the ever-present possibility that Uncle Sam would require the services of the director. Other productions of the department have included Good Morning, Dear Teacher, on original one-act by Marilyn Mortensen showing the hardships of a freshman on her first day in school,- The Wedding ,- Who Gets the Car Tonight? and A Night at an Inn , the exciting story of a band of thieves. 28

With winter came an assortment of activities and festivities. An exceptionally exciting basket- ball season held the interest of the students and had spectators shouting themselves hoarse. The drama department presented Stage Door as the major production of the year. Despite cold weather the M.T.C. held its regular morning formations. With the approach of Christmas vacation, E.T. H.S. students lent a helping hand to Evanston merchants to relieve pressure during the holiday rush. Some worked part time and some took full time jobs in department stores. In addition some students went to work in war plants, and a few continued their jobs after the New Year. Under the auspices of the Army and Navy, the school directed tests for A-5, V-5, V-12, A-12. These examinations were given at regular intervals during the year. Many boys who took the tests hove been accepted. The music department presented its usual gift to Evanston in its Christmas concert. The chorus sang both modern and traditional songs, and the audience joined in singing the well known carols. On Christmas Eve many members of the chorus assem- bled at Fountain Square to sing carols. t r Ro.rri.ur,
