OUR BLUE PRINTS ARE FINISHED By DICK PRESSLER Wfe crossed the threshold into high school, deeming it a great pleasure to enter such worth- while portals to gain a wider variety of knowledge to aid us in crossing lifels tempestuous and trou- bled sea. The world was in a morbid period of de- flation and great dramatic stress played on the heartstrings of human souls. However, we plunged onward, ever onward, hoping that in four years we would gaze upon the glowing horizon of graduation which would send us out again across this same threshold into a world free of worries or care to gain a corner of the earth for ourselves. We have had our numerous reverses but time has healed all of these, and we are conhdent we have in some small measure replaced set-backs with a glorious sunrise. Achievements came slowly and with extreme difhculty, but we ask no reprisals, led the way to shoulder responsibilities. Will you then give us our birthright, which we humbly feel we would like to possess with honor. Our four year of high school brought with them the happiest moments we have ever known, or perhaps ever will know, but we feel that a full, abundant life lies ahead, which will reflect achieve- ments of our high school days--patriotism, loyal- ty, citizenship, knowledge, and friendship. Our freshman year brought with it a fresh- man initiation and a term collared upon us with rightful ownership- Greenies, Many more par- ties ensued, and soon it was time for us Juniors to stage the annual class play, entitled i'The Case of the Squealing Cat. We gained a great deal of en- joyment by seeing fellow-townspeople entertained by our humble portrayal with a mystery setting. On a dazzling April evening, we assembled in the gorgeously decorated banquet hall to honor the Seniors with a dinner dance. At the end of this active third year We knew our greatest and final test would come after a short vacation, when We would again enter the school to participate in the last year of our high school career. We materialized a Yearbook, with the central theme, Our Challenge, binding is pages. It was to mirror a profile of the year's activities. NWC, as Seniors, also were enthralled, indeed, by the thrilling setting of the Spanish design ar- ranged by our junior hosts at the annual junior-- Senior banquet. Don't Take My Penny was a clever comedy fa, . -, . VAL CONNOLLY demonstrative of the modern attitude displayed by many parents in training their children. Now on the brink of graduation, we carry a personal message from our country's leader, President Roosevelt, asking us to participate in bringing to a close this mighty upheaval of a bitter War waged against us. We, as graduates, starting down life's path, hope and pray to a powerful God, that soon the world will again be governed by an everlasting peace, and that justice and liberty will reign for- ever. -Dick Pressler Dick Pressler, Val Connolly, LeRoy Patterson, Betty Critchfield.

Sixteen-year-old Penny is walking around with a book on her head and a dreamy look in her eyes and practicing elocution with her mouth full of pebbles, preparing herself to play the star role in the movie version of a popular novel. The au- thor is searching the country for his ideal-he's coming to town tomorrow-and Penny just knows she'll be chosen! What Penny doesn't know is that Sally, the new maid, is a former child movie star, now grown up, whom a clever pub- licity agent has planted there to be miraculously udiscovered' by the author. So Penny ignores Sally Qwho practices dance steps when no oneys aroundj, and she ignores the talent of her quiet, unselfish older sister, Mavis, who has small parts in radio. Penny and Joanna have their hands full with preparations . . . for Penny intends to take her girl friend, Joanna, with her to Hollywood. Penny and Joanna give up playing in the tennis tournament with their boy friends, Greg and Kerry. They tell them they are putting childish things like tennis behind them. Greg and Kerry confer with Gram and decide to outwit Penny and Joanna by posing as the great author and a bru- nette model. They do-and the girls fall for it! A riotous scene follows in which Henri, the clothes designer, shows off his latest creations on attractive models for Penny to consider for her descent on Hollywood. But the disguised Greg and Kerry poke fun at each lovely outht and fi- nally kick the indignant Henri out the door. Then, just as Penny is prepared to say thumbs down on famous authors-dad shows up with the real author. But the plans for the udiscoveryv of Sally go awry, for Sally has fallen in love with Mark, the older brother, whose one ambition is to run a chicken farm! That seems to Sally a lot more glamorous than a screen career, for she re- members the real Hollywood of hard work and disappointments. Sally and Mark plan their little white cottage, with its picket fence and roses, and about this time their first chicken triumphantly lays an egg! In the midst of all the excitement, the author does choose a star for his play-but the girl he chooses surprises everyone. But by this time Penny and Joanna have changed their minds again and paired off for the tennis tournament with Greg and Kerry. And Gram has given Mother a piece of her mind for running about giving lec- tures on child rearing when she should be looking after her own family. This is a play that has every- thing, youth, charm, funny incidents, and good parts for all. It is no surprise to us that it is one of the most popular plays in the country. Page 24
