Classes The cast of a play, needless to say, is almost entirely responsible for its success or failure. Likewise the students in a school determine its reputa- tion or standing. For as the actors in a drama should convey its basic idea to the audience, so the classes, the cast in the drama of school life, should display worthwhile accomplishments to interested onlookers—And Bolton High School is no exception. Therefore the students, who make up the cast, have made many attempts, some fruitful, others fruitless, to deserve applause. Most actors embark upon their careers in insignificant bit parts. These, we compare to our freshmen. They have enthusiastically made their debut on the stage of Bolton High in the season of 1940. Already favorable criti- cisms have been received from the Directors, and through their own efforts they have become worthwhile additions to our cast. After a season of harrowing experiences, cheerfully made possible by the more adept members of the class, certain former nondescript individuals have finally mounted a step that leads toward stardom—they are sophomores. Imbued with the wisdom one attains after a year of nervous exhaustion, they have expertly filled the shoes of the former occupants of the sophomore pinnacle. On the brink of stardom are the players whom we know as juniors. They have endured the untold hardships of beginners and have successfully paved a way for themselves. They, alone, in this drama, are placed in that in- tangible position known as a happy medium. To those who are standing on the top step of the ladder of success, let us give a big hand. They are our stars, our seniors. And though never again will they act in a drama of high school life, it is inevitable that some of them will attain heights of stardom greater than the most fertile imagina- tion can reach. Lest you forget the talents and achievements of individual players, in this unique drama, we present to you the entire cast. 20
