Top: Scenes from Senior Play, The Mummy and the Mumps . Lower: Scene from Operetta, Rose ofthe Danube , DRAMATICS REVIEW The end of the year 1937 was marked by the brilliant performances of an all- star cast of the Seniorplay, The Mummy and the Mu1'nps, which was a hilari- ous tarce ot mistaken identity. Its setting was the most' exclusive girls' school in New England. The cast included Edwin -Long, Wanda Britt, Bruce Moorehead, Mary Powers, Bill Stroble, Iune Golvin, Opal Bergen, Martin lones, Gene Iackson, and Bob Anderson. Your reviewer noted the favorable 'and enthusiastic com- ments it received. ' ' The operetta of the year, Rose'of the Danube, presented March 18, was a delightful story of a bankrupt monarchy, whose patriots were ready to rebel, but which was financially and politically saved by the arrival ot a movie magnate, his family, and a cameraman., lt had a European setting with a Rose Festival as a background. The principals were Lucille Roche, Bruce Moorehead, Reno Bresso, Dorothy Degerman, Carl Gushe, Peggy Lehman, Don Reisenbeck, Donald Barton, Betty Cooper, Ed Hegwer, Walter and Charles Powers, Rosemary Murphy and Doris Palmer. Principals were assisted by the vocal and dancing choruses, and musical accompaniment by a small orchestra. lt was the musical hit of the year. Closing the season's dramatic successes, was the lunior play, A Fair Ex- change. N lt depicted the comical adventures of a mercenary Iew, whose love ot money' led him into a very undesirablehposition. The cast consisted of Dorothy Degerman, Verna Weaver, Reno Bresso, Dallas Fisher, Iames Buerer, Lucille Roche, Barbara Probert, Edwin Hegwer, and Louis Petrucci. In each case the castsvwere so well chosen, and the characters so ably por- trayed that it became apparent that there are a number of very promising ama- teur actors among the students of the High School. x 17 an

The organization, Future Farmers of America, was introduced this year in connection with new vocational agricultural course. Each of the fifty boys en- rolled has had a project of which a record is kept. During the school term the boys pruned twenty acres of grapes, peach, and apricot trees. The livestock team won the Bain Day Livestock Trophy in the spring judging contests, and minor awards were also won by the dairy, poultry and tree teams. A trip to Davis and one to the San Francisco lr. Livestock Exposition were also included among the clubs' activities. At the end of the school term, F. F. A. emblem awards were given the five boys with outstanding records. BLOCK E The Block E, another activity which appears for the first time in the El Escalon, is a society made up of boys who have earned an A block in any sport. It has three purposes-to promote interest in athletics, to promote sportsmanship, and to raise money with which to buy athletic equipment and awards. To fulfill these purposes the society sponsored a bonfire rally during football season, held noon candy sales throughout the year, and held frequent meetings.
