Pr it-2.4esf+ ' Sophomore Class History In September 1928, a cast of eighty performers made their debut on the stage of education. We knew that if our show was to be a success we would need a stage director. We decided that Manley Thompson would be a good one, but, fearing lest he be too overburdened with his duties, we chose Mabel Herr to assist him. All companys need money so we installed Eva Luginbuhl to finance the show. Finally, someone suggested that we would be certain of success if we added a chief overseer to our staff to see that everything ran smoothly. We promptly voted to let Miss Lapp fill that position. At first it was hard to adjust ourselves to stage life, but soon everything started to run smoothly. Cast number three gave a reception in our honor to ini- tiate us into stage life. Later we staged a party for ourselves. Soon, however, the lure of knowledge overshadowed the glory of stardom for one player who dropped out. A few others, too, could not stand the strain of such a life and gave up their careers for other stations. The rest pledged faithfully to come back next year with more Prima Donnas and stars. In September 1929, we gain took up our work, this time as cast number two. We are slowly advancing to our goal-cast number four. We again went through the ordeal of electing a staff. This time Ralph Locher directed, Robert Balmer assisted, Robert Ewing handled the money and Mr. Stettler was overseer. Many of our actors and actresses received applause for their fine acting in the fields of athletics, music and activities. The curtain dropped on a successful year. Twenty-eight
