Solu PIOURER Page 27 JUNIOR CLASS As Buck Privates with Brigadier General, Miss Hagie, to keep us from becoming lonesome, we struggled through the ordeal of white-washing the “B,” saluted our Super- iors, and finally, with the aid of Private Daryl Hagie, we emerged from the lowest rank to become Sergeants. Next we tried Brigadier General Ide and Sergeant Harold Krsul to lead us safely through the rank of Sergeant. The next year we decided to advanc? Miss Evans to the position of Brigadier General and John Sullivan was Chosen and put in charge of the Lieutenants. We really made an impression with “What a Life!” And from our experience in the army so far we repeat, “What a Life!!!” Ww JUNIOR PLAY “What a Life’, three act play starring Henry Aldrich, was presented by the juniors April 25. Counting players and extras the play had twenty-seven characters. The care- laden, apologetic, and trouble-making Henry was played by Clark Hilton. No wonder Mr. Nelson (Daryl Hagie) asked Henry if he sometimes didn’t just hate to get up in the morning. Barbara Pearson, president of her junior class and the light in Henry’s life, was played by Patty Anderson. Dolores Wagner (who became a member of the cast only two days before the final night) played the part of Henry’s long suffering mother. Bill Louther, as George Bigelow, was the cause of much of Henry’s misery. The stern and forbidding Mr. Bradley, principal of Central High School, was played by: Junior Tope, His secretary, Miss Shea (Margaret Birkeland), was also the object of Daryl Hagie’s affections. The faculty of Central High School was composed of: Mr. Patterson (Frank Manley), teacher of Roman history: Miss Pike (Lorraine Baker), whose ventilating system was out of order; Miss Wheeler (Mary Gray), was the busy body band teacher: Miss Eggleston (Effie Ritland); Miss Johnson (Betty Schmidt). Bill, a student who spent most of his time unsuccessfully trying to see Mr. Bradley, was played by Jack Anderson. Kenneth Vinion took the part of Mr. Vecchitto, an Italian parent. Gertie and Mary, stud- ents, were played by Rosemary Schuhmacher and Lenore Frieling. The juniors grossed $137 on their play which helped to pay the expenses of their prom. 26 JUNIOR PROM Amid the grape vines (Purple balloons) and their silvery leaves, seniors were royally entertained by the junior class on May 23. Music was furnished by Ed Pierce’s orchestra and punch was served. We seniors take this opportunity of thanking the’ juniors and, their sponsor, Miss Evans, for one of the most enjoyable parties of the year, made possible only by much time and effort not to mention elbow grease expended on the ‘part of the juniors. xe INTERLUDE AND ALONE Betty Schmidt I stopped by the gate to ask enputiaikes For a drink of water from the: flask Gentle feathers drift to frozen ground That hung on the side of me rustic well.
