Under The Greenwood Tree XXfhen the curtain falls, we, the class of 1934 exeunt, we hope we shall have completed our act in this great drama successfully. We shall leave the stage with thanks in our hearts for our gracious teachers, who have prompted us along the way when otherwise we should have stumbled and fallen. We ask you to accept this, the highest honor in our power to give you, the dedication of the 1934 Greenwood Annual. At times we may have missed our entrance cue, and perhaps we do stumble from the stage prematurely, but to you, Faculty, and to our enjoyable and profitable associations, we dedicate this, our Annual of 1934, Under the Greenwood Tree. You have played with us under the tree, you have quelled our little battles for years, for some of us the greater part of our lives. We are just a few of the many you have started along to greater acting. Some of them have advanced, some of them have falteredg but we shall work to make you proud to claim us as your one-time proteges. Our training for our act has been lengthy. It began thirteen years ago. We lost a player, but gained one here and there along the way. After rehearsing for two and one-half years in the Administration Building, improvements were made, and we received, as our reward for faithful work, a theater all our own. With joy in our hearts, we transferred our properties to our present theater, Greenwood. Eleven and one-half years have passed since then, and our great act is nearly ready to present. We look back upon our years of training. Numerous producers have rehearsed us along the way, some of them are vivid in our memories, some of them we do not remember. Perhaps we cannot call each one by name, we do not recall his personal appearance, but that is of little importance, each did his part, each left the stamp of his personality upon our acting. As we pause before our entrance, we scan the program, our eyes fall upon the cast. We are proud of that cast, thirty members, fourteen of whom re- ported that September day in 1922, and have toiled away together for these many years. Our cast is a strong and a happy cast, each actor has shared his burden, each actor has divided the glory-a great company of troupers. May our play be a success! The years have passed, and as more years intervene, the memories will become dimmer, so we give you this Annual to serve as a reminder of our days spent under the tree. To the Annual Staff and Faculty members who have cooperated to make this Annual possible, we wish to take this opportunity to thank you for your time and talent, and to congratulate you upon your success. Your ability is verified by this volume, and the class of 1934 is proud to receive credit for this section of the iOzarko, Under the Greenwood Tree. --EUNICE STONE rm 1
