SENIOR CLASS PLAY John Montgomery, who produces plays, gets what he thinks is a brilliant idea to present a play where real people play parts of real people instead of having regular actors take the roles. He assembles a slangy telephone operator, a cowboy from Oklahoma, an English schoolmarm on vacation, and with the unwilling aid of a sourefaced director, DeLaska, attempts to rehearse a play written by his star author- ess, Janet Smith, The rehearsal is more or less-«chiefly less--of a success until the whole group becomes involved in who stole an emerald from a jewelry salesman next door. Pendleton Penny, the dumb hotel detects ive, goes on the trail of the missing jewel and trouble ensues both for him and for the people who are vainly trying to rehearse the play. Peg Rogers, a go-get+'em reporter, joins in the hunt for the jewel instead. There follows a general mix-up that does not get straightened out until the final curtain when Peg Rogers turns detective herself, stages a bit of bluff that frightens a confession from the thief and lands herself a job hetp- ing to re-write the play in rehbersak.. In addition to tho missing jewel, there is the mystery of Montgomery's missing socks. A few lights go off and on at odd moments, and wisecracks galore keep the audience rdar- ing when it isn't frowning or perplexed by the mystery.

We Will Find A Path Or Make One Friends, on behalf of the graduating class of 1940, I welcome you to this commencement exercise which marks so fittingly, the clos- ing of another scholastic year. For us, how- ever, it means more than merely the closing of school for three short months. To us the doors of this school will be forever barred. We have finished our term here, and now we must set up an entirely new life--we must find a path or make one. Many times we have an- ticipated this hour, yet when we at last have gained our goal, we look ahead fearfully, and wonder what is to come next. Youth is prone to look through rose-colored glasses and to linger by the wayside to enjoy the springtime. But now that we have reached the time when our daily routine is no longer laid out for us by stronger hands, we hope to go forth and make good use of all that has been done for us. A great voet reminds us-- A dwarf on a dead giant's shoulders sees more Than the live giant's vision availed to expiore. Small as we may be, we know full well that there have been giants in the past, and that there are giants whose work we may climb upon and see even more than they saw. In saying farewell, we pause respectfully, reverently. We must not tarry long for the time has come to go on. May your interést go with us; may we not disappoint you. And be- wause we hope to keep open the outlets and the pipe lines to old friends and inspirations, we shall not say good-bye but rather adieu until we meet again. Janet Elise Dague Salutatorian
