I. THE D RAG O N Junior Glass Although being second in size, the Junior Class at Fairmont takes no back seat as to its activities. This year Juniors composed a large portion of the football squad, placing Clifford Bolender, Carl Nollman, Eldon Basinger, Otho Larimer, Fred Whipp and Frank Kothman on the team. Juniors were equally predominate on the basketball squad, being represented by Eldon, Batfln.ger, Clifford Bolender, and Carl Nollman. This class was represented by Captain Theresa Buchard, Hazel Rash and Bernice Askren on the girls’ team. Not only in athletics does the Junior Class excel, but in the finer arts; the following being selected to represent Fairmont in the County Music and Literary Contest: Reading, Grace Powell; Boy ' s Solo, Eldon Basinger; Bible Reading, Virginia Shank; Piano Solo, Esther Tullis. These will compete with the representatives of Fairview in the Belmont auditorium, March 7. Junior c Play Holding the limelight in Fairmont ' s dramatics for the past year was “Nancy Ann,” a three-act comedy, presented by members of the Junior Class as their annual production. Consisting of sixteen characters and a two-room scene throughout the last two acts, the play was a very difficult one to produce. However, under the able leadership of Miss Eleanor Kiernan. head of the dramatic art department, the play was a great success, both dramatically and financially. A brief synopsis follows: “Nancy,” the youthful heroine, who has been “cowed” all her life by four elderly aunts, determines at last that she is going to make a name for herself by becoming an actress. On the night of her formal debut to society, given by her aunts, she uses a French window as a way of escape and attempts to realize her life’s ambition. Using the scene of a play which she has learned in her dramatic art course when a child, .apis to get Sidney Brian, a play producer, against his wishes, to cast her; for a part, lg she is one of a “blackmail gang, has her arrested. Finally, after numerous J methods she convinces him of her ability. The play terminates, when he has engaged her for a leading lady for his play and for life. The entire play is agog with lively interest and enthusiasm, kept up during the second act by several chorus girls who apparently “know all,” “see all,” and “hear all,” and continued during the last act by the detective, the office boy and the four wily aunts. The following members of the class took part: Nancy Ann. Aunt Emily. Aunt Kate . Aunt Angeline . Aunt Nancy. Miss Dexter. Beth Worthington Lula Treman Billie Claridge. Jerry O’Connel. ..
