C l ass Sponsor STARS The seniors go their parting ways Taking with them joys of past stage days. They've acted wellg they've done their part The Manual spirit is in their hearts. The actors go-stardom they've won, They leave us now, but the show goes on. In this great world they have a start Acting to them has become an art. The road is rough and rather long, Nothing is hard for these veterans strong These friends of ours will soon be gone, Good friends must part, but the show goes on. As they leave to seek a higher fame We'll say to them we're glad you came. You've helped us well, we can't complain. Keep working hard and success you'll gain As the scenes fade, and the curtains drawn, We'll miss them much, but the show goes on. -wma Amu C341 L 141

x . M , -'N. THE THUNDE RBOLT A 9 5 A, ' LEADING MAN AND LADY WILL PHE LEADING MAN IS AXTELL chosen b the entire 2 Y cast to lead the 1934 production, proved himself a star of stars. Entering Manual with an abundance of experience in leadership, he was capably equipped to carry on the responf sibilities of the role. He played an active part in the Bluejacket Club and the annual staff together with participating in all types of school dramatics. His excellent acting in the M. A. P. campaign raised him to even greater heights. on thes However Willis' career does not rest accomplishments alone, but is surf e passed with his election to the role of lead' ing man. In this capacity Willis led his co' performers, the student council, through many creditable achievements. Not satisfied with all of these performances, he proved himself HH even greater star by taking an active part in arranging practically all of the Manual 193364 social program for the ear Accom Y - f plishments such as these could only have been reached by a character rich with those qualf ities so essential to their accomplishment. Facf ulty recognition of such accomplishment was evidence d by his election to the National Honor Society in his senior year. Ma her futu nual will be extremely fortunate if re leading men regard Willis' record .K f mggk ww 3 is S f ' ,f . , , 4 HS 3 E131 high mark for them to attain. THE LEADING LADY EMMA LOU LOTITO gave remarkable performances from the time of her en' trance upon the Manual stage to the day she became the leading lady, at the peak of her stage career. While a second, she was elected president by her cofperformers. Cff stage she devoted her time to many actors' guilds among which were included the Blue Jacket Club and the M. A. P. committee. As a part of her duties, Emma Lou served on the stag dance and the juniorfsenior prom committees, and also as a member of the Student Council. She performed admirably in the dramatic venture, Take My Advice, in 1932 and danced gracefully in the Play Festival of that year. Our leading lady had complete charge of an outstanding bill on the program, the Mother and Daughter Tea on November 17, 1933. Despite all of these ac' tivities, she undertook the difficult task of collecting the seconds' and stars' dues. After such a successful career on the Manual stage, we predict E a Lou will at' tain even greater heights in ,gig future on the stage of life.
