VObiEs 3 LG Aan Wr Pele! 6 The History of the Class of 1937; Dear Mr. Colossus: Colossical Cinema Company. X Boulevard, Hollywood December, 10937 Since it was last your pleasure to evict three of the greatest script writers in existence from your office, we have completed the working script for what will be not only magnificent, startling, touching, joyful, and sorrowful, but Colossical. This script, which we hope you will read with a proper amount of humility at being the first recipient of it, [we do not mean that there will be other recipients] is entitled: Wigs (Ce ls EE VIIA PUD) EM ES Re FRESHMAN YEAR Scene I. It is the morning of January 28, 10935. Take a long shot of Classical through the early morning light with snow banks on either side. Two young people approach in the distance. GIRL: Is this it? Boy: No, that’s not it. You’re pointing at the church. Girt: Is that it? Boy: No. That’s the City Library. GIRL: Then that must be it. Bove Uhatsat. Scene 2. Inclusive shot should be taken of the Classical High assembly hall, the seats of which are filled with awe-stricken freshmen. Shoot a closeup of Mr. Hill, a tall white-haired gentleman with the mark of a scholar upon him delivering a speech, the high- lights of which are: ‘‘Those who receive consistently good marks for three years will be awarded magna cum laude pins. Nobody has the right to do that which if everybody did would destroy society.” Shoot another closeup of two intrepid advisers, Miss Battis, and Miss Jauch. Scene 3. Shoot a view of the school gym with boys on one side, girls on the other, and a few of the braver mingling on the floor. Suddenly all is quiet. At this point we advise several closeups of budding statesmen giving campaign speeches. Then comes a final specialty, a tap dance given by Janice Cahill. Scene 4. Shoot a closeup of an excited group dis- cussing election returns. Work in the following an- nouncement: PresIDENT: Barbara Beach, VICE-PRESIDENT: Janice Cahill, SecRETARY: Rosamond Morin, TREASURER: Joseph Homicki, MEMBER-AT-LARGE: Maurice Cava- naugh. Scene 5. This scene is to be taken in a gymnasium appropriately decorated to suggest a ‘‘Winter Whirl.” In one corner sit Mr. Fenner and Miss Gustafson, patron and patroness. Get extras for a mob scene when ice cream and cookies are served. JUNIOR YEAR Scene 1. Shoot closeup of new class officers. PRESIDENT: Barbara Beach, VicE-PRESIDENT: Jan- ice Cahill, SEcRETARY: Betty Abbott, TREASURER: Joe Homicki, MEMBER-AT-LARGE: Kenneth Powell. Scene 2. This will show all class officers walking out of the class of '37% because they have deferred. Scene 3. Shoot assembly hall during new elections. Take closeup of officers: PRESIDENT: Ruth Chapin, VicE-PRESIDENT: Ruth Coughlan, SECRETARY: Rosamond Morin, TREASURER: Lucille Morey, MEMBER-AT-LARGE: Eileen Sullivan. Shoot a closeup of Ruth talking about the small size of the class and the necessity of class-spirit. Take a fadeout shot as the dance committee consisting of Mary Meaney, Janet Davis, and Eugene Sullivan is chosen. Scene 4. This scene is to be taken on the gymnasium set. Extras are to be young and collegiate for the gay Junior Prom known as the “Santa Claus Swing”. Shoot closeups of Lou Goodman's orchestra and of the patrons and patronesses, Mr. and Mrs. Cook, Mr. and Mrs. E. E. Smith, Mr. and Mrs. Ressler, Miss Horrigan, Miss Jauch, and Miss Battis. SENIOR YEAR Scene 1. Shoot closeups of the two new class officers, Bill Sweeney, president, and John Mayer, vice- president. Explain that this election was made necessary because one of the officers graduated and the other deferred. Scene z. This scene takes place in the gym on the occasion of the 12B dance, the ‘‘Spring Swing’’. Cer- tain members of the class are weakening and show signs of deferring. End the scene with a closeup of several couples busily counting units. [Counting units is not a parlor game.]
