Humor and suspense featured the first play, The Life of Riley, a three-act comedy by Harvey Mason, directed by Miss Mar- garet Moist. The junior play, Spring Fever, by Philip Barry, also a comedy, was given under the direction of Miss Wilhelmina Lester. For their last play, the seniors chose The American Way,', a timely and patriotic drama by George S. Kauf- man and Moss Hart, coached by Miss Lora Duguid. Three years ago, leaders of the Class of '41 made a trip to Roosevelt High School, East Chicago, to study student government. This year, senior mem- bers of the Student Council wrote a constitution, later ratified by the student body, giving students greater opportunity to participate in student gov- ernment. Last year, as Juniors, the class honored the Class of 1940 at the 'annual junior Prom which was held in the Palais Royale ballroom, and on May 23 of this year the 1941 seniors, in turn, were entertained by the juniors at the Prom, the last major social function for seniors. Individual members of the graduating class, too, have attained honors at M. H. S. Remember when Phil Lahr scored 25 points in a sectional basket- ball game? . . . when Dorothy Loucks as Miss Ko- deed provided an interesting interlude between the halves of the Central-Mishawaka football game? . . . when Dick Pedrotty and Muriel Pope took the lead roles in both the Speech Club and the Senior Class plays and distinguished them- selves as Thespians? . . . when Mary Arnold rep- resented this district for three consecutive years at the Annual State Mathematics Contest, placing, favorably each time? . . . when Louise Prahl won the poetry reading contest in her sophomore year and had her name engraved on the Van Rie trophy cup? . . . when james Beyer was elected president of the Twin City Hi Y, and Evelyn Burns, presi- dent of the Twin City Girl Reserve Council? . . . when Anna Kovach set a new record for advanced typing students? . . . when Betty Kase and Helen Jaqua who had served as yell leaders for four years were given M. H. S. sweaters - the first girls ever to Win these awards? And then Phil Lahr, Bob Currey, and Mary Arnold brought hon- or to themselves and to the school by winning competitive scholarships to I. U. and Purdue.
