Senior Class Presents Stage Curtain Stage whispers of Oh dear, the curtain isn't working, will be heard no more because the seniors have presented a curtain for the stage in the gym. Stage managers will no longer run around, scraping up pins to fasten together remnants of old drapes or crepe paper for a much needed curtain. Never again will occur the historic instance of the Firemen's players who, at the call Curtain, snapped off the lights while they scampered off the stage. Early in the year the seniors decided to light up the faces of their fellow students and the faculty with a glimpse of a brand new curtain. The curtain is maroon velvetg in the center of the valance in white letters is Class of 1934. The seniors boast of the privilege of initiating the curtain to a long life of service to the arts. Under its canopy the senior players gayly pranced through the lines of Apple Blossom Time. At the Baccalaureate services the seniors were so busy admiring their curtain that they did not even see the chorus, under the canopy of the curtain at Commencement, the seniors thought themselves worthy of a diploma tied with a pretty ribbon. So the curtain draws to a close the successful year of the Seniors of 1934? Seniors Twice Entertain at Parties The question: What shall we use for money? was solved by giving the Six-to-Sixty party and the Spring Frolicf' The whole community attendedg grandmas laid aside their sewing baskets, mothers, their work, fathers their business and children scrubbed their ears, all to come to the parties. Everybody has a good time at these huge affairs. Come for a look-in on one of them. We at length stop under the arch and alight. The party is in full swing. Pool and ping-pong are in progress with keen competition. The games committee has planned these games for the children, thinking the old folks would congregate in groups to reminisce. But the tables are being used by the older people with the younger ones cheering them on. Refreshments on the third floor are attractively arranged. Candy expertly made by senior cooks, set mouths to watering and coins to jingling. But all good things must end and by midnight Bo is slowly dragging his heels around from door to door, closing for the night. As he darkens the lights in the building, the party comes to a most successful close. This is the way the Seniors earned money for the curtain and the whole community agrees that it is a very pleasant way. f iw. TLTIQQ3' l t' C QR - KW .tixeipfs 24

The Senior Play Apple Blossom Time, an amusing three-act play by Eugene G. Hafer, was presented by the Senior Class under the direction of Mr. George Bohn, on May 4, 1934. Before the opening of the first act Mr. Henderson dedicated the beautiful curtain presented by the Seniors as their memorial to the school. As the title Apple Blossom Time suggests, this delightful play smacks of springtime and of love. The action centers around the home of Tad Forrest Clong believed deadj, where Betty Ann Stewart is staying because of the failure of her guardian to make his appearance. A spark of intense interest is shown when an ambitious relative arrives to turn them out of their home, but the dead Mr. Forrest appears just in time to prove the rightful owner. Also several love affairs blossom in spite of the many difficulties and humorous situations. Dorothy Hawthorne characterized Betty Ann and Frank Mastriana, Bob Mathews, the young stranger. His friend, Charles, was Jack Burnside. Marion Clever played a pretty neighbor and Phyllis Brawn, the disdainful relative. Nell Redman was Polly, the housekeeper, and Moody Garwood, the village constable. Three village characters are the doll-faced vamp, portrayed by Carolyn Peters, Mary Louise Armishaw, the girl whose only ambition was to have a beau, and Jane Taylor, the old maid of the village. Tom Kane and Francis Green were Spud and Mickey from Sunshine Alley. 23
