ST HLET5 Back row: Ellsworth, Bayles, Stucker. Front row: Rodgers, Lawrence. Under excellent lea,dership, our starlets perform well in the ring. Their president is Harry Stucker, and vice president is Frances Lawrence. In the fall, the class chose Mu1'iel Rodgers for their secretary and Bob Ellsworth as treasurer. Hugh Bayles, their representative in the Student Council, has charge of activity tickets, and Stan Stockton is vice president of the council. The sponsors of these aerial performers are Miss Bernhard, Miss Eaton, Mr. Cunningham, and Mr. Gillum, their manager. The class consists of 95 girls and S9 boys. A number of their members are lions, 16 in varsity foot- ball, and 11 in varsity basketball. The management of the junior class has arranged a three ring circus in which these starlcts may perform. They show their paces in the training of brutal verbs and clauses in the English V ring, where their efforts are encouraged, in the college classes by Miss Bernhard and Miss Harper, and in the general classes by Miss program in a radio communication dem- onstration With the cooperation of Mr. Cunningham. Two-way phone communi- cation was shown by Bill Barnett and his associates. Patsy Crcel talked as us- ual, but this time her comments were confined to the limits of a reading named Toughie. Shirleynan Hargiss hit a high note in the show as she sang 'iHi Neigh- bor, accompanied by Sue Logsdon. That the originality of these starlets is not confined to the Big Top was shown by the model airplane demonstration which followed. The construction and operation of model airplanes was described by Herbert Jella. A new feature of motion pictures of planes in flight. The program closed with the actual flight of a small plane. Just before finals, Mr. Russell, one of our dramatic coaches, decided to press our promising starlets into service again. He had chosen the play Ever Since Eve by Ryerson and Clements. A great many juniors aspired to the stage of our big 5 show , and of these a competent cast was chosen. A family group consists of Claire Viesselman, Bob Ellsworth, and Wayne Hird, who were Mrs. Clover, Johnny Clover and Mr. Clover, respec- tively. John Kapfer played the part of Spud Erwin, and Annette Bigelow became Susan Blanke. Patsy Creel was transformed into the character of Betsy Erwin, and Phy- lis Marlowe was changed to Martha Willard. Officer CCap- pyl Simmons was acted. realistically by Bill Lonnecker. Mildred Carpenter will be remembered as the lovely Luci- belle Lee. David Davidson and Don May appeared as Henry Quinn and Preston Hughes. The football players were Jim Arthur, Bob Elbel, Hugh Bayles, Ray Hicks, and Ed Pringle. Three of this year's starlets have already been billed for big performances far in advance of the next season. Stan Stockton was recently elevated from the vice-presi- dcncy of the Student Council to the presidency. The of- ficial recorder, or secretary, of the same organ'zation will be another shining light, Annette Bigelow. Bob Ells- worth was elected next year's senior representative who has charge of the school 'Anierry-go-round alais dances. Eaton.
