S. as greenhorns, extras, cmd were dramatically welcomed by the seasoned players, the Seniors of '44. During our first year, we played no major roles, but merely learned the ropes and the gentle art of acting like high school students. Our first production Freshman Year was directed by Mr. Amejko and Mrs. Hughes, co-starring Sonny O'Neil as President, with Virginia Meagher as Vice President, Ioan O'Neill as Treasurer, Corinne Moard as Secretary, in the supporting roles. The rest of us put in a good per- formance and many showed promise of becoming good actors in the great drama of E. H. H. S. The main sequence in Freshman Year was the Freshman-Sopho- more Hop which brought out our best talent. As the year came to a close and the curtain rang down on another performance completed, we looked forward to producing a bigger, better performance in Sophomore Year. SOPHOMORE YEAR ' Sophomore Year, our second production will always be remem- bered for its excellent acting and scenes. It was directed by Mrs. Remy and starred Sonny O'Neil as President, Corinne Moard as Vice Presi- dent, Florence Oliver as Secretary, and Louise Keefe as Treasurer. The most beautiful scene was the Sophomore Hop which will long be remembered for its Spring decorations and splendid acting. We began to take more important roles and proved our worth in starring in the cast of the Powder and Puff Play, Tiger House. The second most important section of our Sophomore drama was the successful operation of penny-dancing. As Sophomore Year closed we looked forward to producing Iunior Year in which we would begin to major in the drama of E. H. H. S. IUNIOR YEAR At last, the chance we have been waiting for, a major role in our high school career-Upper Classmen. The stars of our show were Charles O'Neil, Milton Nichols, Florence Oliver and Louise Keefe. Our directors were Miss Garland and Miss Bell. We were represented in the Student Council by Harriet Berlage, M.il- ton Nichols and Richard Wilkes. They contributed to the formation of a new Student Govemment and Student Constitution. In the first election of the new govemment, Milton Nichols was elected President and Richard Wilkes Vice President for the following year.
