Senior Class History So far the cast of our play has won no ticket sales, and decided it was time to do something about it. They proved they could by winning the light ticket sale. We were rewarded for our efforts with a party, with refresh- ments and dancing in the cafeteria. The girls walked off with the honors in the Girls' League Mixer and Fun Night. Our audience was awe-struck by the beauty of the Nativity Scene, which won the Mixer for us. We outdid ourselves in the all-school play, Molly O'Shaughnessey, by having five Juniors in the cast, one of which played the leading role. We have now advanced from one football letterman in the first act of our play to six football lettermen, four basketball lettermen, and one debate letterman. The crowning glory in this act was the Junior Prom. It was romantically decorated in pastel colors, with crepe paper butterflies floating in the breeze aroused by the dancers, and we called it our Sweetheart Prom. Many wishes were made that evening in the Wishing Well covered with trailing ivy. And so with the ending of the third act we see continued improvement in the acting of the actresses and actors. ACT IV The final act curtain rises on this so far exciting and thrilling play. The leading characters in this act are: Karl Moll—President Sidney Bergdahl—Vice-President Clarena Fenton—Secretary Jeanne Boivin—Treasurer Louis Roberson—Yell Leader Our cast now proves that they are experienced troupers by taking their little sisters and brothers in hand, and showing them the highlights of the theater where they will soon be presenting their own play. Our seasoned actors now prove that they have reached their goal by having eleven football lettermen, five basketball lettermen, fourteen in honor society, and having all A. S. B. offices filled by them with the exception of one. Following tradition, the Seniors gave a party for the Juniors. Thirty well-trained actresses and actors are seen in the Senior stage hit, When Stars Shine. Again we put ourselves out in the lead by winning the A. S. B. ticket sale. And now the curtain is falling on our play. We now look back with hearts full of precious and maybe a few anxious moments, and we regret to leave it all. We feel that we have given a star performance; and we take our curtain calls with the feeling that in the hearts of our audience lies that same feel- ing. We can now look back at the prompters off stage and thank them for the many hours they have patiently put in that helped us obtain our stardom.

Senior Class History Produced by: Mrs. Bean ACT I The curtain rises, and on stage we see a large group of eager, inex- perienced, bashful freshies. The leads in our cast are: Ralph Gunderson—President Elden Hansen—Vice-President Mavis Mathews—Secretary Vance Holland—Treasurer Clarena Fenton—Veil Leader Sidney Bergdahl—Yell Leader Lorraine Larson—Song Leader The play shows rising action as the Frosh begin their first undertaking— a successful assembly with an all-frosh band. The play continues and the frosh really get going by having one football letterman. The first act comes to a fitting end with the freshies giving a Valentine Party for the Sophomores. We now have the audience tense with suspense waiting for the second act of our so far successful play to continue. ACT II Directed by: Frank Albin—President Mariana Nygard—Vice-President Lorraine Larson—Secretary Louis Roberson—Treasurer Ralph Gunderson—Yell Leader Clarena Fenton—Song Leader The play moves along swiftly with the presentation of a Mothers' Tea, the theme being based on St. Patrick's Day. Two of our actresses were seen in the exciting all-school play, Phantom Tiger. We're proud of our sixteen members who received their first bar pins in Honor Society. We showed the school that we really had what it takes when we had one debate letterman, three football lettermen, and two basketball lettermen. The climax of our four bell play comes when the Sophs give a party for the new freshmen. We have now weathered the first two acts, and we feel that we are well on our way to succss. ACT III Again the curtain rises, and this time we see falling action as the Juniors give a lively, rousing pep assembly that really gets the student body in the mood for the game to come. The stars in this act are: Mavis Mathews—President Leland Larson—Vice-President Bernadine Keehn—Secretary Virgil Rogness—Treasurer Mariana Nygard—Song Leader Louis Roberson—Yell Leader As was the custom, we gave a party in honor of the graduating seniors Page Seventeen
