PROPHECY I just returned home from the newsstand. The screaming headline, Hitler Falls, caught my eye.

SENIOR CLASS PLAY On December 6 the Senior Class presented Why Worry, a clever comedy about an eccentric family steeped in the traditions of Shakespeare. Lois Judson as Desdemona Dalrymple, the mother, spoke only the language of the bard. Bill Johnson gave a good portrayal of a business man in love with Mrs. Dalrymple. Denny Gordon as Hamlet Dalrymple and Jeannette Bakke as his sister, Viola, registered strong dislike to the Shakespearian theory. Jean Sheffield as Ophelia Dalrymple, a nine-year-old plague, kept the audience in laughter with her odd mixture of modern slang and Shakespearian language. Wallace Ruetten as a house-to-house salesman settled the financial difficulties and married Viola. Stella Mae Bush as Doris Benson found plenty of opportunity for the display of her unusual technique as a comedienne. Wayne Kittil-son as Tokay, the Japanese house boy, spent his time writing a peculiar type of poetry. Emma Lewis as Aunt Gertrude presented something new in a woman heavy and was an effective villain. Chuck Cochran as Mike O'Reilly was at his best as a tough cop. This very successful production was directed by Mr. Nielson. CLASS HISTORY In September of 1937 we cautiously entered upon our high school careers. The horrible thought of an initiation was indelibly imprinted in our minds by the members of the upper classes and we spent a first week of thrills and chills awaiting the outcome. It was over! We were finally full-fledged high-school students and showed our appreciation by being host to the other classes at an all-school party. Our Sophomore year slipped by with the usual routine of high school life and our contribution was limited to an assembly program. During the junior year our activities were mainly those of entertaining the graduating class of 1940. We presented a mystery drama, The Phantom Tiger, and then gave a picnic and a prom. On September 3, 1940, we came prancing up to the school to register for our last year and to look over the latest recruits to higher learning. Our year has been full of exciting adventures and achievements. We gave a senior ball for the first time in the history of the school last December. Why Worry” was chosen as the senior class play. Our senior president was Bob Watson, and advisers, Mr. Davis and Mr. Keyes. I 19 I
