-52 CLASS PLAYS OF CLARKSBURG HIGH The first class play ever presented in Clarksburg High School was NThe Merchant of Venice Up-To-Date,U staged by the Class of 1910, under the direction of Superintendent J. L. Fortney. Even at that relatively late date there was consid- erable opposition to the theater, and Mr. Fortney met with some undue criticism for venturing into the field of dramatics. For a few years no other class play was undertaken. Final ly, in-1918, under the direction of Mr. J. G. White, the grad- uates presented nBubbles.u This play and the three following it were given on commencement night as an introductory perform- ance before or after the address and the presentation of diploh mas. Obviously, they were not very long. Not until 1922 did any class have a play on a night set aside for it alone. The plays of the various years were: - 1919 - The Winning Widow 1920 - A Royal Cinch 1921 - Daddy 1922 - And Home Came Ted 1925 1924 1925 - Happiness - Seventeen ' - A Pair of Sixes 1926 1927 - Clarence - Mrs. Bumpstead-Leigh 1928 1929 1950 1951 -. 1952 1953 1954 .1935 1956 1957 Nothing But the Truth Daddy Long Legs A Prince There Was Backbone Brewster's-Millions Nancy Ann - The Country Cousin The Charm School The Whole Town's Talking Let's Get Rich The,Class of 1938 presented HGrowing Painsn on May 5. This New York production was very enjoyable and well received. It maintained the high standard set by other classes in former years.
