We Juniors House lights dimmed and the curtain was raised, to unfold the annual two act production of the junior class, on September 22, 19417. Director, Sister John Berchmans took her stand to guide the cast through its biggest show to date. Leads in the play were taken by Pat Carstensen, president, Patty Roller, vice-presidentg Pat Stalder, secretary, and Peggy Aifolter, treasurer. Interest was aroused by the very first scene of act one. The entire cast took part in the Junior Tea, where all the activities and organizations of Mary Manse were presented, by means of verse written by the class, as information to the new students, and as entertainment to the old. No roduction of this water-minded class would be com Jlete without a tri to the lake. In P I P October we iacked ui and 'ourne ed to Janet She iherdis cottage at Lakewood. Were we disar- l I J Y l an l pointed! The only water we saw was in icicles! We nearly froze to death. But we did that in our usual manner - cheerfully. The most intensely-dramatic scene was Founderis Day. Traditionally, the juniors rolled up their sleeves and went to work making big preparations for this important school activity. Hard laborers transformed Urban Hall, better known as the gymn, into a beautiful banquet hall. Marie Therese Mackin worked extra hard-result: her speech, entitled The Call to Heroic Lay Actionn was one of the outstanding talks of the year. All the work was well repayed when our Director encouragingly said, 44Well done, girls. One of the most enjoyable acts was the nLittle Christmasl' party at Pat Carstensenis house. Her role as hostess was handled with ease and grace. But the work of the one-woman stage crew- Pat's mother-was amazing. And the big Carslensen house was bursting with the junior party spirit. Act two opened with a play within a play. 'GPride and Prejudice was staged on the boards of Ursuline Auditorium with the marquee flashing such names as Virginia Sohnly, Marilyn Gulker, Ruth Palmer, Pat Carstensen, Mary McGuire, Janet Shepherd, and Diana Dietrich. The Divine Juniors!!! Not much later other juniors stood before an audience. lt was Book Night and Margaret Mary Moran, Katie Cullen, Pat Carstensen. Peggy Affolter, and Sue Serke had a chance to report on works of fiction, biography, and current events. The first scene of act two ended with thrills and excitement-the basketball games! Juniors cheered while their class team competed for the school championship. Flash! F-We won. Then came the final scene. With quick-heating hearts and tear-filled eyes, the juniors said farewell to the seniors, at the Junior-Senior Banquet. And at last the grand finale-the Prom with dreamy music and the sweet aromas of springtime. Then when the curtain went down and the house lights went on, we, the juniors, could truthfully agree with the audience that all the world is but a stage where every junior had played her part, and played it well. 46
