In April this cast held a cake sale in order to raise funds for the Sen- ior Prom. This is an affair all B.H.S. play characters look for- ward to with much anticipation. When they attend that, they have reached the peak of their career in this great theater. Miss Winifred Y. Moyer is the director with Miss Violet M. White, Mrs. Franklin H. Gottshall, Fran- cis D. Sell, and Chester W. Rohr- bach as producers. There are also a few co-produc- ers. Richard Nester, president, decides where the next billing will be and when. Winnie Balmer, sec- retary, keeps track of what they do and gives them a report of it at their cast get-togethers. Mary Jane Albitz, treasurer, sees to it that there is no money foolishly spent or lost, she also makes a report to the cast so they know what they can do and can't do. April 30 this play cast held a dance for all the other play casts, and of course any of the regular patrons who wished to attend. This was held for the purpose of paying for their part on the program. DRESSING ROOM 19 110-33--Standing: Mr. Rohr bach, W. Bower, S. Delcamp, B. Bumbaugh, K. Schol lenberger, E. Latshaw, R.

JUNIOR CLASS OFFICERS: B. Bishe, secretaryg H. K. Johnson, vice presidentg H. D. Johnson, treasurer, and President R.. Erb leave the State after a very busy day at their own theater. On October 9, 1947 one hundred members of the cast of the class of 1949 selected the main characters for their performance in the year 1947-48. This cast, who chose pres- ident Richard Erb as the leading man with vice present Henry K. Johnson, secretary Betty Bishe, and treasurer Henry D. Johnson acting in supporting roles, now have advanced to the role of Jun- iors. When they are not giving per- formances or practicing they have reserved seats in sections 11-A, 11-B, and 11-C where they are di- rected by Harry I. Gilbert, Miss Margaret C. Schmeelk, and Daniel A. Rohrbach respectively. l'Right This Their costumes are made of their favorite colors, red and White. They also use these colors to enliven and beautify many of their perform- ances. One of these Was entitled Holiday Dance which featured Ken Nichols' Orchestra. The large audience included members of The- atre B.H.S., alumni, and friends. This was a great step on the ladder to a successful Junior-Senior Prom. At the prom the Juniors performed in honor of and for the Seniors. Another step that led to the success of this production was a cake sale. All the holidays, such as Hallow- e'en and Christmas, were rightly celebrated by these ambitious Jun- iors. Appropriate decorations, re- freshments, and games were en- joyed by the cast and also their friends. Many Juniors have played other rolls in the many organizations of Theater B. H. S. Out of approxi- mately forty people in the Theatre Band, Eugene Johnson, a Junior, was chosen to represent the Thea- ter in a band made of selected high school students from all over Penn- sylvania. Irene Gehris, another Junior, won a radio in a patron con- test sponsored by the yearbook. Her homeroom, 11-B, also shared high honors with a senior section in the contest. Many members of the cast also participated in the sports, the band, the orchestra, and the chorus of the Theater. Some of the sports they took part in were football, basketball, baseball, and track. Many have made stars of themselves in these sports While many are promising stars of the future. The cast was very sorry to have lost Peggy Kaas and Aubrey Quick, who accepted roles in Pottstown and also Philip West, Who has ac- cepted a military role at Valley Forge Military Academy, Wayne. However, the cast Wishes them the best of luck. June 2, 1948, and the curtains are drawn on the performances of the Junior Cast, class of 1948. They now bring to a close all their roles as Juniors and begin rehearsals for their important, distinguished roles as seniors.
