Miss Rudkin is now official rope pulled, and Mr. Franklin, as- sistant director from behind the scenes. Members of the class take principal parts in the production of the Annual. Cast enter- tains Student Body with a regu'ar Theater Party which shows that their talents along this line have developed during their three years of training. New names appear from time to time making it easier for the rest of the Student Body to keep track of their favorite Senior actors and actresses. Their last great accomplishment 's the Senior Play which they put over with their usual pep. The curtains fall for the last time upon that familiar scene, white frocked girls and earnest young men, who have at last received the coveted token of work well done.

Elsa Anshutz—Treasurer Senior Class. Miss Rudkin—Class Teacher. Faculty Advisors—All Members of Faculty. Scene—-A small town in Southern California. Time—From the fall of 1917 to the spring of 1922. Act I The class enters as green as possible and beset with the sin of common sense. They are timid and linger near the door, but soon with their choice of Miss Cox, they sing her praise to the tune of “Oh Miss Cox We Know Ya,” which seemed to dim their greeness and dull their timidity. Things begin to hum when the wienie bake occurs. Much excitement and curiosity is shown toward Junior decorating for commence- ment. Great joy is shown toward the end of the act, exhilir- ation increases until Mr. Means enters class meeting and deems them Sophomores. Act II The class again enters, changed however. Their green- nese has faded and they appear more careless and happy. A new actor enters, Miss Hield, who takes the center of stage. She holds the admiration of the class through a siege of parties and exams. The class’ animal spirits begin to strengthen as is shown by the amount of punishment doled out to the boys every night. Sophomores are seen wander- ing about with a green and gold pompom in one hand and a Geometry book in the other. Finals draw near. Fear ap- pears on the faces of the class members as exam papers are handed back. Shouts arise—all is well and they are now on their way toward their Junior year. Act III The curtains of vacation are pulled aside. showing the class now a jolly Junior crowd with Miss Hield still holding the center of the stage. Scene after scene transpires. Jolly good parties and a wienie roast. As the year advances a grand party is planned for the entire Student Body. The plans work themselves into the shape of a Valentine Carnival with all the trimmings and a ripping good time is apparently enjoyed by all. As the scene nears its close a real honest-to-goodness banquet is given in honor of the Class of ‘21. It is looked upon as the best yet produced. As the curtain falls the Page Seven
