SENIOR CLASS WILL OF 1931 All the world ' s a stage And all the men and women merely players. They have their exits and their entrance And one man in his time plays many parts. How truly has immortal Shakespeare spoken! Is there any greater stage than that of high school life with all its diverse characters? Are there not many exits and entrances, too? Usually these are four years apart, but some are one year, two years, or possibly — five or six years. Of course in a cast of 1-40 players one finds good. bad. and indifferent actors. The more talented have played many parts. Just four years ago. the class of 1931 rushed upon this stage of Iowa City High School each determined to act his part successfully. Many of them have inscribed their names upon the walls of the hall of fame, while others have merely carved theirs upon the desks in the auditorium.
