Mentor Class JBrama ACT I. The curtain rises displaying a group of twnety-seven forlorn looking Freshmen. The heads are somewhat lowered and the expression upon each face is one of embarrassment and awe. Those in the assembly are as follws: Mamie Ballcnger, Gerald Baum. Olivia Browne, Marie Creager, X'annas Clymer, Duane DeLancey, Doris Kbbinghaus, Hazel Flick. Amber Gilbert, Lela Grossnickle, Harold Grossnicklc, Bruce Howe, Bland Isenbar-ger, Fred Jenkins, Alcesta Dunlap, Hubert Little, Mildred Nean der, Krma Xeander, Arthur Overholser, Blanche Nichols, Marie Ream, Leona Slagle, Lona Slagle, Marcella Thomas, Donald Ulrcy and Alma Walters. Well,” said one of the group, we may feel elevated at least because we are now classed as high school pupils.” Yes,” replied another, but we are only Frcshies.” By the tone of his voice you might detect the boy's feeling, that it would be a long time until he would be a Senior. By the time, however, that the curtain is lowered, this class has become accustomed to the surroundings and feels at home in the daily toils. ACT II. When the curtain again rises we sec many of the same faces, althouhg the number has diminished until there are now twenty-one fiaczbemhrfl .. srfbqlcyb-p dn BvaoitnH u..tgeewyhtu one. There is a clamor of voices. Some are telling the next neighbor that he or she has become a member of the Glee Club or the Orchestra; others boasting the athletic association of which several of the number are members. There is also much to say about the annual which is the first to be published by the North Manchester High School. After the excitement of all these things dies down there is the all-famous question: Did you make all your credits?” or. “Will you be a junior next term?” ACT III. Upon the ascending of the curtain the third time we gaze upon a happy group who are discussing the Junior-Senior reception, Glee Club parties and other social events besides the regular line of school work. Three of the former group are not in this scene, but their places are filled by Gladys Islcy, Catherine Boomler, Treva Kikenberry and Dotte Lautzenhiser.. X'annas sits chewing her fore-finger blissfully while Bruce is trying his best to pull off some joke. A group of the girls have assembled in what the boys call a “hen party.” Bland stands erect and after stepping a little forward says in a commanding tone, Well, we will see what we can do about this.” Then we hear the reply from Doris, I really do not know what to say.” Then come the scenes that have been the cause of all the confusion and each one declares that there never were such flowers, such dresses, eats and amusements until these rare occasions. At the parties Duane watches Bonnie continuously for he knows that Donald is looking for someone to flirt with and he fears it might be she. Next are the good-byes and farewells which must last until the opening of the next act which will represent the all eventful term. ACT IV The long looked for time and the time for the grand finale has come. The same faces greet you with their happy expressions and smiles, so much different from those which we first witnessed. The assembly has now reached the highest point and there is much display of talent in gathering material for the annual. Then come more parties and receptions with equally beautiful dresses and flowers and with eats and amusements beyond description. Finally we see the graduation and the presenting of diplomas. All are happy and the curtain falls amid a shower of flowers
