Michigan Our photographer finally caught the cam?ra-shy Ben Boldt unawares. Sorry we have no formal picture of such a skilled technician and electrician. The other two snaps are of men who renewed their contracts the second semester after an absence of several years from the studios. Pete Helling is an athletic fellow, hut he shuns interviews and interviewers. The third man, Lon Wolf, is a track star, par-excellence. His fans saw him in a number of thrill- ing finishes in his favorite race, the Mile Run. §iEr iioiR ' orir tihie siet sihOTS Start at the top left, and read across . . .

JUr llOIR JlUYIEr lllLIES A Century of Progress in CKicago in 1955 started off a great measure of similar pro- gress for the E-C-S, for in tKat year tKe studios signed contracts witK over a hundred promising young actors, resulting from an extensive search in the preceding summer. The Spring of 1956 finds only fifty-one of the signers still remaining on the records of the studios casting department. However, among these fifty-one are many who must he credited with a mul- tiplicity of commendable roles during their years here. The Juniors this year produced two team captains, of hasehall and track, and two president s, of the Student Union and of the Women ' s Union. The Juniors represent a well-rounded group, for they have been successful both in aspiring to scholastic heights and also in placing many on the studio ' s athletic aggre- gations. Among the Junior Juvenile males are eight varsity lettermen. In addition are many more players, both male and female, with wide and varied activities on the athletic field and in the various campus organizations. Still the topic of studio conversation is the dance staged by the Junior Juveniles in their first year on the studio lot called Mother Goose Cabaret. It is the boast of this group that this dance was the dance put on with the smallest amount ol money in studio history. The initial effort of the class in staging social functions gives strong promise of a really fine prom to be put on the last of this year, the plans for which are already well under way. We see, then, that the Junior Juveniles represent a group of hard working ) ' oung actors who have given and continue to give superb characterizations in all branches ol campus ac- tivity: scholastic, athletic, and social.
