Srufde i cMli Pali SopMxUtWA L 0 In spite of their small number, this year’s Sophomore Class has carried on the traditional activities of the upperclassmen. More than ever before, emphasis has been placed on scholarship. Consequently these students, who are graduating into a troubled world, have the feeling of competence that accompanies a thorough education.

However, those Freshmen who were privileged to complete this year’s work, did so with the same energy and enthusiasm found in former Freshman Classes of J. J. C.

Above: Bob Myers and Betty Short, the romantic leads, arouse the interest of Bill (“Teddy”) Claybourn and the old ladies, Mary Lou Farmer and Margaret Cox. Below: “Cop” Keith Guthals narrates to the helpless Bob Myers while Vencil Jessee, the evil Dr. Einstein, looks on. John Windle, as Jonathon “Karloff” Brewster, “reclines” in the background. Also in the cast were: Arthur Dilworth, Jack Wood, Bill DeGraff, John Roberts, and Dick Thralls. The spring production was Sir James M. Barrie’s “What Every Woman Knows, a story of English life. Billie Plumlee carried the feminine lead as Maggie, and Bob Myers portrayed John Shand. Maggie’s father was played by Bob Patrick, and her brothers by Bill Claybourn and Donald Newby. Lady Sybil Tenterdon, Maggie’s “competition,” was played by Sally Weygandt. Betty Ann Harner was the Comtesse de Le Briere and Carroll Smith played Mr. Charles Venables.
