He remembered that as the curtain had gone up and as his eyes had grown accustomed to the bright footlights that he had seen a stage fairly cluttered with fifty or more actors, each wearing a little green cap, and hat it had been difficult to tell them apart. They had run to and fro, missing their cues and stumbling over their lines. But gradually as the play had prog- ressed. improvements were noticed. He had liked that first act despite the lack of poise and proper adjustment of the actors. The air of expectancy. and the electrifying tenseness of an assumed enthusiasm made it one of the most interesting of the acts. A superior, if much smaller, cast greeted him during the second act. This act went more smoothly, but there was plenty of action. There had been that mad scramble to keep the wearers-of-the-green from hoisting their flag and the scavenger hunt with the dignitaries. Most of the characters, care-free and light-hearted, provided all kinds of comedy. Finding their places in the scenes of college life occupied most of the actors. It had been a little hard to close that act, because it meant saying goodbye to quite a few who had said their last lines on the stage of old H. C. Curtain! Curtain: The third act of DESTINY IN F OUR ACTS opened with the introduction of nine new characters and a more experienced cast. They were Loretta Byers, Mable Kohr, Myles Parrish, Max Smith, Iohn Mellen. Thelma Roush, Mrs. R. Gallagher, Edmund DeLine, and Edward Davidson. Gerald Stucker, leading man. starred in his usual interesting manner in the role of president. The role of vice-president was filled by Bemadine Hoffman. Other important performers were Mable Kohr as the secretary. Galen Colclessor. treasurer, during the first scene, and Pauline Scholl during the second scene. Frances Hough. Dwight Lange, and DeWitt Baker were the representatives in the Student Council. Among the more outstanding scenes is the bonfire scene on the banks of the river when the entire cast welcomed the freshmen to college life. Nor will the fi.rst eventful junior penny supper be forgotten. or that play within a play. THE HIGHWAYMAN. Then came the clirnax-the beautiful junior May festival with the crowning of the May Queen. Bringing that act to a grand finale the traditional Iunior-Senior reception will always live in the memories of the entire cast. And the curtain came down on the third act. The last act awaits. un- revealed. behind heavy curtains: we have set our stage: we must play our parts. May the best be yet to come. F. K.. D.

CLASS OF '41 Twenty-two members of the class of '41 retumed to our campus Septem- ber 12. l938, to place their names among those privileged to be students of Huntington College. These sophomores trailed on to our campus and. lo! and, behold! a new girl's dormitory. The sophomore girls were thrilled indeed, 'such a scrumptous place to stay.' We welcomed several new classmates and our group was increased to thirty-two members. Thus a new year started successfully. At the first class meeting on September 19, Doctor Miller met with us as our advisor. and we selected our officers for the year. 'I'hose who reigned over us through this year were: President. Archie Grogan: Vice-president, Morris Iones: Secretary, Helen Brown: Treasurer, Philip Zeigler: and Student Council representatives, Margaret Rowden and Earl Kreiger. There were then several traditions to be carried out, such as the raising of the sophomore flag and guiding the faltering steps of the freshmen. It was truly a memor- able day, that October 24, when we sophomores were able to avenge our- selves on those poor innocent freshmen for the treatment we had received the year before as freshmen. It was indeed an occasion when a sweet old grandmother in the person of Charles McCreery came tripping up the steps, and Dick Iohnson as a 'bundle from heaven' fell out of his baby carriage. Several days later each freshman was confronted by a sophomore, who stated, Here is your fresh- man hat: we advise you to wear it until Thanksgiving, for your own safety. Throughout the year every activity has been colored by the presence of the sophomores. We are well represented in the choir. and a majority of our class are members of Zeta, Philo, Gospel Volunteers, Y. M. C. A.. and Y. W. C.A. Also on the debate teams the sophomores exhibited their prowess. What the basketball team would have done without Earl Kreiger. Morris Iones. and Paul Graham it is hard to say. They gave their best to make an improved basketball team. Wilmer Bugher, another sophomore. started out the year playing excellent basketball, but because of illness was forced to quit. The sophomores are supplying eight of their members to the group of graduates this year. Those leaving us are Esther Earnes, Hazel Brandeberry, Esther Hirschy, Evelyn Middaugh, Frances Reml6y, f'r6da Rupley, Margaret Howden, and Philip Zeigler. The seniors entertained the sophomores very well at a 'hamburger fry' in the fall of the year and in the following spring the sophomores reciprocated with a party for the seniors. Of course, our treasurer had some difficulty in collecting the dues so that we could entertain the seniors in the fashion due to them, but he was finally successful after a few threats of not being able to go to the party. The sophomores could not have had a better or more successful year. So as we drop a few more of our youthful antics this summer we will be remem- bering that next fall we will retum as dignified juniors and we must be pre- pared to live up to th t adjective in the full sense of the word.
