Senior' Class History The terse commands of the director sum- mon the cast to attention for the first of the sequel pictures of their major pro- duction, Four Great Years . The plot of the motion.-picture itself follows the lives of the student through their four years in Wyoming Seminary, a prepara- tory school in northeastern Pennsylvania. The irst act opened with a group of twenty very serious and very excited individuals wandering about stupidly and immediately designating themselves as Freshmen. It was not very long before they took a prominent interest in school life to make their presence felt. Distinguishing them- selves in all fields and Uhitching their cart to a star , they promised to continue their grand start. After getting acquainted, the class siezed the reins of government in their hands and elected their own officers and a representative for the Honor Court. The conclusion of the picture brought a round of applause from the critics. After a brief respite rehearsal began for the second picture. The majority of the cast was reassembled with a few additions. All felt themselves to be professionals after their debut the previous yearg so they started production with the best wishes from everyone to surpass their previous performance. Needless to say, they did. With some experience to help them, the class blazed forth to even great- er success. School life was enjoyed and entered into with more spirit. Scholastic, athletic, and dramatic departments were distinguished and crowded by sophomore candidates, and yet we were still the smallest class in the school. It was with great pleasure to the cast and audience that we were able to participate in the first dance ever held by the school on

All eagerly awaited its sequel, which was to go into production after the cast's short vacation. The third production struck a very pathetic note. It was during the filming of this picture that Sprague Memorial became a reality. Our dearly beloved president, the late Dr. Levi L. Sprague, passed away, his death was a crushing blow to all who had worked under his guidance. As Dr. Sprague would have wished it, the class as a whole worked with greater interest and zeal for the school, the class, and themselves. The production was not a disappointment, everyone sympathized with the school's loss, as Dr. Sprague's fame was world wide. Now the class commenced on its nnal and most spectacular production. The celeb- rities were present to witness the conclu- sion of this great drama 5 it was to be the most brilliant. The class had now grown to tremendous size, many major changes had taken place. From the megaphone the directors, Professor Traxler and Miss Roy, barked the commands. The class was honored by holding the formal inaug- uration of our long beloved dean, Wilbur H. Fleck, as President of Wyoming Sem- inary. The class now dominated the school in its various departments. We had performed for four years, and now we received the rewards of our valiant efforts. The final scene was laid in Nelson Memorial Chapel, where Dr. Fleck offici- ated at the graduation exercises for the first time in the capacity of president of the school. The picture's finish was greeted with enthusiastic applause. With the singing of the Alma Mater the curtain fell on the last scene of the Class of 1937's Four Great Years. First row-R. Bornstein, R.
