Senior Class History The curtain is slowly descending on the last act of the Drama of the Class of 1932. Let us review the former acts, and recall some of our greatest suc- cesses. 7 he first act takes places in 1 928. It is late fall. Ninety Freshmen have just enrolled as actors in the great drama that unrolls before us. The first im- portant event in the lives of these actors was the Freshman Stunt, written by one of the talented stars of the play. 7 ' he second act has for its scene the Halls of Emerson, as did the first. It is again in the fall of the year, but the year is 19 30. The Pantomime produced during this act is still being discussed in this school. Of course a dance must grace the year, and so it did. The Sophomore Hop was a great success. By this time some of the actors have left the play to seek careers elsewhere. There are many loyal ones who are left, however, and they carry on to the third act of this performance. Act three takes place in October, 1931. The test of the actors came in the production of the inevitable Year Book. Much concentrated work ensued, and finally a dream became a reality — the ‘ ' Emersonian ’ was a success. The next calendar date of Junior importance was the program for Junior Week. There was a Debate, a highly entertaining Sailor Chorus and Mutiny, and a Stunt: lastly the Junior Promenade which completed the big week. Act four at last! With God of our Fathers’’ and ‘‘O such a commotion’’ voices the Supreme Seniors with daring dignity approach the throne vacated by the Class of 1931. A few weeks of effort pass, and once more a Revival Play is cast. ‘‘The Man of Mode’’ has its brief time in the spot light, and is over. The climax of the play comes with Commencement. There is, of course, a Commencement Play, Recitals, Teas, Diplomas, and the curtain descends on this Drama, A better Drama awaits the actors. Page Sixteen
