All-Stars In September 1942, fifty would-be actors signed up at the M.C.H.S. Studio. After much hard work they hoped to be full-fledged members in the U42 Bluestreakf, They were led by assistant directors, Mr. LaFief and Mrs. Galbreath, with Jim Patchett, Carolyn Mauk, Joyce Blunk, and Stanley Fasig representing them. After they found that they had royalty in their midst when Jim Patchett was crowned king at the Junior Car- nival, they completed their first course as extras After three months' rest period they came back in September of '43 to begin as stand-ins. They were now well acquainted with the directors, Mrs. Ennis, Mr. Linn, and leading stand-insf' Jim Patchett, Maurice Murphy, Nellie Shaffner, and Ferne Lewis. When they looked forward to the years to come, they worked hard and came through with another year to their credit. They seemed much nearer their goal when they came back the next fall as understudies. This was their first year of importance. They were led by assistant directors, Miss Matteson and Mr. Leatherman, with chief understudies, Don Simpson, Mary Hutchens, Carolyn Mauk, and Jim Patchett. This year they gave the Junior Carnival and Nelson Auld began his reign as king. Their first appearance came when they staged the production, The Girls Take Over. They found they were well on their way to success. At the latter part of the year they gave the Understudy All Star Banquet presented in honor of the All Star Cast. In the final year, beginning in September, 1945, Jim Patchett, Barbara Page, Mary Hutchens, and Thelma Carper were chosen to represent the All Stars. With the additional help of their director, Mr. Duncan, and assistant director, Mrs. Hamilton, they came forth with another eventful year chock full of success in which Nelson Auld continued his reign at the Junior Carnival, and an All Star cast staged A Little Honey. The year came to a fruitful end when the All Stars were featured in the production, H1946 Bluestreakf' They have now finished their four years as extras, understudies, stand-ins, and all-stars and are now ready to begin their first appearance in the show, The Future. -Mary Hutchens. 1 11
