The cabinet also planned a combination dance and party near the middle of the semester. I-ate in May the class play, A Day in the Sun, was presented.

A group of twelve energetic and competent Cent rallies undertook the important task of handling the activities of the January class. Many social events were scheduled by the class and efficiently carried through to success. Among these were the Homecoming Dance held in the evening in the school gym and celebrating Central’s victory over Washburn: a program on Class Day including an all-male follies, a dance orchestra, piano numbers, and novelty dances and acts; ami late in December, 1939, the recent Broadway hit “Stage Door was given as the class play. In addition to this the class left a small sum of money to be used for a class memorial. There were eight special committees which cooperated with the four officers: Douglas Berguson, President; Marjorie Dahl. Vice-President; Lorraine Bishop, Secretary: and William Kurzeka, Treasurer.
