SCENE III-Mid-Year Farewell Assembly-january 29 Everyone liked Mr. Morris so well that he returned to speak at the Mid-Year Farewell Assembly. Now, some of the girls of 1937 were going to graduateg others realized that june would soon be here. SCENE IV-Mid-Year Commencement and Prom-February 16 and 17 For the first time the February graduation was held at the Polytechnic Institute. Here one hundred and thirty-nine members of the class of 1937 received their diplomas. The following night the girls and their escorts were swinging from 9 to 12:30 to the music of Charles Vincent's orchestra at the Belvedere. SCENE V-Sophomore-Senior Party-April 16. As they were being entertained by the juveniles, their minds wandered back to a day in May two years ago when they, as juveniles, had entertained the Class of 1935. It was great fun to be guests instead of hostesses. SCENE VI-Farewell Assembly--June 4 Their last assembly! The auditorium was beautifully decorated by their under- studies for this, their last day. After hearing an excellent address, they realized that all too soon their days at Western had drawn to a close. They left with hearts filled with love for Western.

SCENE I-Junior-Freshmen Party-February 14 The understudies escorted their younger sisters, the juveniles, to the auditorium where a marionette show of jack and the Bean Stalk was presented. After the enter- tainment they all danced in the gym. SCENE Il-Junior Day-March 30 Again they became leaders of the school for a day. This year, as understudies, they wore white dresses and talisman roses, the two distinguishing marks of upper classmen. Ida Black, Julia Rose Collinson, Sylvia Finkelstein, Sylvia Karasik, Martha jane Koontz, Charity Seluzetsky, Edith Rubin and Elyse Goldman were in the cast of Three Pills in a Bottle, which was the name of the play presented at the morning assembly. SCENE III-Boatride--june 5 For weeks they worked on attractive favors for the annual junior-Senior Boatride. The curtain, however, never went up for this scene because the new boat, Dixie, which had been engaged, did not arrive in time. Consequently, as the second act closed there was a certain tragic note existing throughout the entire cast. Ad III-1936-57 CAST: Prerident-Ida Black Viee-President-Helen Chenoweth Alternate Vive-PreJident+Elaine Wood Secretary-Doris Herr Treasurer-Frances Miller Alternate Trearurer-Elaine Wood Chorus-Class of 1957 SCENE I-Senior Day, October 19 Veterans, at last! Their long anticipated Senior Day had finally arrived. The Reverend Jarvis Morris was the speaker. He told them to learn to climb down, not to take advantage of their position, to learn to play second fiddle, and to learn to assume the responsibility of setting an example. As they left the auditorium, each girl felt as if she had many things to live up to. SCENE II-Senior Play-December 23 Winifred Ward distinguished herself as the heroine of Green Stockings. In the play she was the sister whose feigned engagement became, through many complica- tions, a reality. The remainder of the cast also helped to make Green Stockings a most successful production.
