The Interlude Valedictory By Katherine Crum packer On this night as we are reaching the highest goal in our school life, it is only natural that we should look back over the past few years which can now be seen so plainly while the future is yet hidden. They have been pleasant years. We have worked hard, played hard — and we have gained much. We have spent a great deal of energy seeking for the things we want; often we have failed, but each small trouble or failure has been the spur to lead us on to greater success. Tonight our feeling of happiness in our success thus far overshadows the memories of the various struggles that we met along the way. Now, as we look at all the familiar faces of our friends here, it is hard to think of the parting we must make. The past is secure and happy. We are inexperienced, but there must be oppor- tunities ahead. We have lived in a period of great changes and new opportunities. Our earliest remembrances are of the Great War, and it is in the unsettled world since then that we have grown up. Nothing has long remained still. We believe that it is the duty of those who have grown up with these developments to go out and lend at least their youthful enthusiasm toward aiding these con ' ditions in the world. So we will go forth to work and play, as we have worked and played here; with the strong hope and firm resolve that you, our parents, our teachers, and our friends, shall someday be proud of the class of nineteen hundred and thirty-one. It is with this resolve that we now bid farewell to you, our classmates and our friends.

The Interlude Class History SCENE: Summer home. Time: Night of Commencement. Characters: Guy McMichael Albert Graf Robert Frash Richard Gardner Leonard Radeckj. Marshall Hewitt Muriel Stapp Janet Jac son Catherine McColl Bernice Koehler Muriel Levy Margaret Gish (Music and sounds of dancing are heard within the house. Janet and Al are seated on swing.) Janet: Isn ' t it grand and cool out here? Al: You bet! It scarcely seems possible that we ' ve graduated, does it? (The rest enter, couple by couple laughing) . M. Stapp: (Walking to chair.) How do you like being a graduate? I feet sorta lost! Guy: So far so good. Marshall: (To Pete.) Who ' d ever think to see you now that you were the little girl in half socks that walked in here three years ago? Pete: I can ' t say you were any Beau Ideal in our Soph stunt night. Cate: But wasn ' t Turnie cute in the Sopho- more play? Leonard: That was Do You Believe in Luck? , wasn ' t it? Dic : Remember our Soph Spring Sprint? We actually stayed out till 11:00 o ' clock. Bernice: Yes, that was the time Milt Ries was President and led the grand march. Bob: How beautiful thou lookest, my fair lady. Cate: Flatterer! M. Levy: Beautiful lady! What does that remind you of? (Tune of Beautiful Lady heard. Hoppy, Wardell, Donna Belle). Al: (Stumbling). Pete: You ' re not as graceful as those dancers. You look more like Gilbert Horst when he fell down at our Junior Dance. Jan: I ' ll never forget decorating for that Goblins ' Gambol . We had orange and black streamers every place there was room for any. Guy: I can ' t say I care for that minuet or whatever it is they ' re playing. Let ' s get some jazz. Bernie: How funny! Jazz and Minuet . I guess Rae Hargrave put over the jazz part in our Junior play. Dic : Yes, and Bob here was the handsome hero. Bob: I ' d almost forgotten. Marsh (Acting silly) and now Ladies and Gentlemen — M. Levy: Say, you can ' t make any better speech than George Turner could in the play, The Youngest . Sappy: Doesn ' t it seem ages ago that we gave our Junior-S enior Ex? Leonard: Talking about making speeches — I think Tom Lizzi is the one for that. He certainly kept everyone roaring at our Senior Prom. That was a wonderful time. AL Stapp: Didn ' t we have a gorgeous time, tho 7 M. Levy: Bernice, that ' s the prettiest neck- lace you have on. Bernice: Do you like it? Thanks. I bought that at Senior Wyman ' s Day. Which all goes to show that we really can be business like. Marshall: Why, of course, with Guy as our President and such splendid co-operation from the remainder of the class — M. Levy: (Interrupting) Well, now, we-ve heard enough. We ' ll have to admit, tho, that we were pretty successful. Pete: Speaking of the cute bracelet, look at the darling one Cate has. Did you get it for a graduation present Santa Claus certainly was good to you. Cate: You don ' t know your history ' . This isn ' t the time of year for Santa. Anyway, there ' s something more in Chnstmass that that. Guy: I guess we all found that out in Unto the Least of These. Jan: That play gave me the queerest feeling. It just left me rather weak. Al: I ' ll bet you didn ' t feel half as weak as I did after our Senior April Shower Dance. Dici : Already that seems like a long time ago and yet it was only a little over a month ago. Guy: Yes, it was only thirty-eight days ago. Leonard: Only 3S ! That was our Senior play. That was the last big thing our class put over. Marshall: We not only displayed talent in that but I think we showed some in our last assembly — our Senior Musicale. COMMITTEE Janet Jac son Ch.
