Activities began to be more numerous during this year. Three members of the class, namely, Richard U., Lola F., and Wally C., were in the Junior play, Mumba Jumbo, and more dramatic ability was unearthed when Bernice Jones and Wally Campbell were chosen as members of the cast of the Senior Play in the spring of that year.
