PREPARING FoR “WHat A Lire” AL the Worlds A WHAT. A LIPE Continuing in its style of setting precedents, the Mid-Senior Class by special permission of the publishers produced “What A Life’ under the direction of Prof. John E. Desch. Irvin Cushner, the Henry Aldrich of City College, portrayed the role made famous by Ezra Stone. Barbara Pearson was exceptionally well done by Julia Herdtfelder. The well-known plot developed in the office of Central High School and around the too eventful life of Henry Aldrich. The usual love affair, this time between Betty Hendricks, as Miss Shea, the office secretary of Central High School, and Al Kronthal, as Mr. Nelson, vice principal of Central High School, provided the thrill-seekers with ample excite- ment. Daniel Richter in the role of Central High's cheer leader almost stole the show with his sud- den entrances and exists. Any scene in which he appeared created a near-riot in the audience. The rest of the cast included Philipp D’Adamo as Mr. Patterson, Agnes Armstrong as Miss Eggleston, Mary Wexler as Miss Vecchitto, Jira Seluzitsky as Mr. Bradley, Bill Kinchelse as George Bigelow, Dona Goldsboro as Miss Wheeler, Nancy L. Norman as Mrs. Aldrich and Harvey Fuchsman as Mr. Ferguson. THE STUDENT PRINCE Sponsored by the June Senior Class, with Mrs. Blanche F. Bowlsbey and Prof. Clarence T. De- Haven, of the Music and Social Science depart- ments respectively, directing, the light opera, “The Student Prince,” starring Miss Mary Capuano in the role of Kathie and Albert Hall as Prince Karl Franz, was staged in the Auditorium May 17 and 18 before capacity audiences. Stars of many other City College musical shows and variety acts, Miss Capuano and Mr. Hall were ably supported by Ralph Schroedl, as Dr. Engel, Vincent Eareckson, in the role of Captain Tarnitz, Miss Dorothy Dittmar, portraying Princess Mar- garet, Miss Angela Bavis, as Gretchen, G. Ferd Medinger, enacting the role of Ruder, and Miss Dorothy Unger playing the Grand Duchess. Others who performed outstandingly in the show were Ted Roman, portraying Von Asterberg, Larry Meyers, as Lucas, and William Roth, in the role of Detlef. Many laughs were supplied by Tony Brafa and Leroy Heinse, who portrayed Lutz and his valet Hubert, respectively. Rounding out the cast of major actors and actresses were Von Mark, enacted by Joseph Kan- owsky, Countess Leydon, portrayed by Miss Peggy Burman, Baron Arnheim, played by Joseph Kow- alski and Ton , enacted by Milton Schwartz. The roles of students were played by members of the Glee Club; the chorus sections included voices from Eastern and Western High Schools. 24
