CLASS PLAY By IV A MAE STUDEBAKER For the possession of the beauty at his side. Captain Applejack holds his mutinous crew at bay while thinking of the ruse with which to subdue the uprising. CAPTAIN APPLEJACK by Walter Hackett Members of the June ' 36 Senior Class success- fully presented Captain Applejack, ' ' a pirate- day play written by Walter Hackett, in the school auditorium on April 2 and 3. The great success of the production may be attributed to the willing cooperation of teachers, directors, stage hands and students. It also offers further proof of the ability of Miss Vivian Webster, the director, and Mr. E. Edward Green, the assist- ant director of the production. The story concerns Ambrose Applejohn, a man who, up to the start of the story, has wanted everything to be as it has always been. How- ever, he changes quite suddenly, deciding to sell the house in which he lives with his aunt, Mrs. Agatha Whateombe, played by DeLoris Rahm, and his ward, Miss Poppy Paire, portray- ed by Goldie Pardo, and starts out in search of romance and adventure. Ambrose Applejohn, a role very well protrayed by Verlin Hcrsh- berger, inserts an advertisement in a popular magazine in order to hasten the sale of his home. At that time, however, lie meets opposition, for Poppy, who secretly loves him, and his aunt dislike having any change in routine. Am- brose declares his love of romance and sends his aunt to bed weeping. After explaining his pur- pose to Poppy, she too is sent to bed when the butler, Lush, played by Robert Mathews, enters to tell the time of night. A wild storm is rag- ing outside, and a knock is heard on the door — a very unusual event in this family. Ambrose, thinking it is a sale for the house, has Lush invite the visitor in. Geraldine Gilliatt enters in the person of Anna Valeska. a foreign im- postor, who, by feigning a story of Bolsheviks and stolen jewels, forces Ambrose to fall in love with her. As she fears the pursuit of a Russian spy, Ivan Borolsky (Ralph Brown), she flees to another room when a second knock is heard on the door. A Mr. and Mrs. Pengard, played by Herschell Hinkley and Mildred Minchin, now enter the picture. They, too, misrepresent their purpose in order to obtain a secret parch- ment leading to a hidden treasure which is re- ported to be in the house. Sending Ambrose out of the room on a useless errand, they begin the search for the treasured map. After they leave, the Russian spy, Borolsky, plays a dram- atic bit with Ambrose. The first act closes with Applejohn declaring to Poppy that he has al- ways wanted adventure and that now By Heaven he has found it. The second act is a dream of Applejohn s concerning the parchment which he has found during the course of Act I. In this dream he is no longer Ambrose Applejohn, but is Captain Applejack, a swash-buckling, swagger- ing, domineering captain of a mutinous pirate crew. The third act brings the happy ending when the hero finally realizes that romance and adventure may be found at home. The supporting east included Irene Raesner as Palmer, the maid ; Perry Key as Johnny Jason, the agent selling the property: and the pirate crew which consisted of Thomas John- son, Harold Schrowe, Virgil Freije, Fred Duecker, Harold Thornberry, John Ellis, Jim- mie Gribben, Chester Moore and Perry Key. A very adequate stage crew, under the direc- tion of Mr. Finch, did much toward completing the success of the production. — Sixteen

CLASS DAY By magaukt i-ost.ma Gaily, yet regretfully, we took our scats for the last class party of our high school years. We were glad, as we always had been, to have a chance to break away from the regular routine of school work, but we were sad when we thought that this event would end our happy high school days. However, our spirits were lightened when the curtains opened un a farce representing our own class play. Captain Applejack . Poppy, played by William Kosaveach, was pacing the floor in what appeared to be a feminine evening- gown with low hack and sparkling diamonds. Pacing in the opposite direction was Auni Agatha, James Allanson, groomed in feminine garb but lacking a feminine voice. They seem- ed troubled about Ambrose or Captain Apple- jack, played by Goldie Pardo, who entered, making a remarkable effort to look manly in oversized pants. He dismissed them both as Anna, Jimmie Cole, entered and fainted in his arms. Love at first sight! The Hindoo magi- cian, Ruth Reed, and his wife, Charles Arthur, spoiled the enchantment by another feigned fainting. This time the victim was brought hack to consciousness by the fanning of the Hindoo ' s arms. The maid, Emery Creekbaum, with typi- cal waitress costume disclosing her well-groomed legs, cried Lights Out in a deep masculo- feminine voice as the curtain closed. The pirates, Esther Katz, Marie Moates, Marie Haynes, Rose Ellen Berndt, Louise Bourgonne, Margaret Postma and Jessie Winkler, led by Borolsky, Maureen O ' Dwyer, completed the hil- arity by rumbling aye in high-pitched voices. The fight between Captain Applejack and the seven pirates for the treasure chest was lost by the pirates, who dragged off their wounded com- rades. The Captain, to he thorough with the folly, presented the treasure chest containing valuable documents to Poppy. On the top of all other documents in the che.-t was the class history. As it was read by Jud Jordan, historian, we heard for the last time what we did during our four years of study and fun at Manual: many of these events wo will long remember. But not for long were we allowed to be ser- ious, for Romanious Alvey, class prophet, be- gan his illustrative description of our fellow classmates in future years. Here and there came a sudden burst of laughter as a senior heard himself or herself described. Could it ever happen ! The next reach into the chest brought forth our will written by Angelo Angelopolous, the legal minded member of our class. And in the bottom of the chest we found our giftorian ' s speech wherein he distributed our few but im- portant possessions among the remaining Man- ualites. .Much of the success of our Class Day program we owe to the efficient sponsorship of Miss Kell- enbach and the other teachers who came to our assistance. CLASS WILL By ANGELO ANGELOPOLOUS We, the members of the June 1936 Senior Class at Emmerich Manual Training High School, city of Indianapolis, county of Marion, State of Indiana, being of sound mind, memory and understanding, do make, publish and de- clare the following as and for our last Will and Testament that is to say : 1st, We hereby revoke all wills, codicils, or testamentary instruments by us at any time heretofore made. 2nd.
