SIEPS IIOIR STARS FRED DENBEAUX ' ERNON HOECKER President Seaetary-Tieaswer It was in tKe Spring of 1952 that the executives of Elmhurst College Studios, stimulated by tKe increased competition between its productions and those of M-G-M, R-K-O, and other motion picture companies, decided to add fresh talent to its long list of stars. As a result of this decision, over one hundred promising actors and actresses were placed under contract to the studio. These players passed their screen tests at E-C-S in the Fall of that year. Today, only twenty-six of the hopeful young men and women who signed contracts in 1952 remain. Of those who no longer are with the studio, some were unequal to the strain of the severe competition, and others were lured away to rival studios. Those who this year have fulfilled the terms of their four year contract with Elm hurst College Studios are known to motion picture fans the world over as the Senior Stars of 1956. Included in the select group of Senior Stars are players and technicians whose varied abilities have enabled them to engage successfully in many different fields; their talents made possible hundreds of splendid productions of various kinds. The Senior Stars headed the fash- ion parade of E-C-S this year with their stunning Senior jackets. In addition, they were the first group to receive credit for writing major theses. But most interesting of all is the fact that not one of the Senior Stars has limited his (or her) interest to his (or her) position as a link between Elmhurst College Studios and the public, but each has, in private fife, be- come absorbed with intellectual pursuits in many different fields, and has taken advantage of the varied opportunities offered by E-C-S to those desiring a well-balanced way of life. Late in April, Ered, the capable leader of the Senior Stars, found it expedient to resign his position. The group immediately elected Kenneth Boldt to reign over the closing days of their careers as E-C-S players. The members of the class have confidence in Mr. Boldt s ability to lead them through the few last glorious days climaxing their careers here at E-C-S. [ 15]
