The cast consists of a great number of actors, and we consider it one of the greatest plays of its kind ever produced. Here is a brief resume of the performance: ACT I SCENE 1 Setting: Forest Avenue High School. September, 1932 About two hundred bewildered freshmen stampeded to the doors of the high school, bound on a prolonged adventure in high spirits. They began their fascinating struggle of hunting the hidden class rooms. The outcries of Fish, I smell fish! were heard from the: dignified upper classmen, and their ad- ventures were then lowered from a state of dignity and exaltation to one of humility. With the famous Jack Curry taking the leading role of president, the class began the first year of adventure with a bang. SCENE 2 The last half of the first year proved to be a transitional period with another well- known actor, George Thrower, taking the leading role as president of the class. By this time their humility had worn off to a certain extent. They were no longer fish. That is to say, they were not fresh, but stale. During the first year of the exciting adventure which meant strenuous study for all freshmen, Miss Christopher and Miss Brewer were able chaperons. ACT II SCENE 1-fAfter a three months' vacationj After taking a deep breath, our travelers were ready to settle down to work. By this time they had completed one-fourth of the journey. The leading lady, Gertrude Cogdell, assumed her duties as the leader of this great company of vagabonds. The outstanding event of this scene was the Christmas play, with many of the talented adventurers taking part. Mrs. Emma Brown became our chaperon and proved to be our beloved sponsor for three continuous years of hard work. SCENE 2 Margaret Warnick, the leading lady, took the role of president. This scene finishes one-half the travel. By decision of this adventure-hunting group it was suggested that there be competi- tion with the company coming behind. As winners of the feat, this party of vagabonds was honored with a picnic. This was the first social event since the beginning of our thrilling adventure. ACT HI SCENE l With our well loved Mrs. Brown as chaperon and jewel Demere as the leading lady, the third year began. SCENE 2 In the last half of the third year, the leading role of president was taken by the famous Howard Hiegel, who later becomes the Lieutenant-Colonel Hiegel in the last scene.

That closes the third year of Wandering. ACT IV SCENE 1 As webegan the last year of excitements and thrills, the role of president was taken by Hardy Cole. Dances seemed to be the thing, and the class sponsored their share. It was in this scene that the Forest Fun Frolic was at its height. From these vagabonds, Frances Kemmerle was selected as one of the contestants for the Fun Frolic-Queen. She gave the others a great deal of competition and came out in second place. SCENE 2 The last lap of the journey was begun with much dignity and sophistication on the part of these adventurers. The leading role was played by Lieutenant-Colonel Hiegel. With his leadership and the hard work of Mrs. Brown, the Senior Day, Senior Play, and other activities were successful. There were several vagabonds in this group that were very popular. Lucile Nichols, the most popular girl, Mary Frances Kemmerle, and Wilson Boedeker were among that group. Oh! Yes! Lieutenant-Colonel Hiegel has to be listed here as the most popular boy. Anything else? It was also from this company that the president of the Centennial Club, Wilson Goss, and the secretary, Louise Boles, were chosen. Louise was the representative from Forest in competing for the trip to Washington. These adventurers have been wandering and struggling for four long years. Where has it got them? Why, they have reached a goal-graduation. KATHERINE SY. January, '37 Class History Freshmen. Well, well, well! So this is high school. We spent all our lunch money on elevator tickets, but for the life of us, we could not find the elevators. As for coming to class meeting at 7:45, we never got up so early in all our lives. Claude Chastant and Billy Stallcup were elected as our freshman presidents. Miss Ruth Christopher and Miss Margaret Brewer, as sponsors, smoothed out the rough spots and made that terrible freshman year a little easier to bear. Sopbomores. At last our freshman year had passed, and we were soon preparing to knock at the door of the Dignified Juniors. Since the song Sophisticated Lady was very popular, we choose as our sophomore presidents two of the fairer sex, Neil Sims and Elizabeth Braun. Iuniors. Ah! Getting somewhere in the world, and life is more pleasant. Digniied, yet serious, we chose Claude fGablej Chastant as president for both semesters of our junior year. As a truly fitting climax to our three years of high school life, the Junior Prom was given by our class, and was unanimously declared the best Prom at dear old Forest in many a season. Our lovable and capable leader was Miss Mary Smith Clark. Seniors! ! The cream of the crop! Now we c.an breathe a sigh of relief since a senior can no longer speak condescendingly to us. Masters of the school, we have chosen Billy Stallcup as president, and we fully intend to let everyone know that we are seniors now! fTake a bow, IV B'sj. Miss Elizabeth Parker is our leader, and we know that as long as she is at the helm, we cannot fail. So here is to the graduating class of January, 1937- success and happiness! BILLY STALLCUP.
