Enter The Hero There are many people in this world who could accomplish things and achieve fame and greatness in various lines of endeavor if they only had complete confidence in themselves. Most people are afflicted with an “inferiority complex.” That is the case of Robbie Sawyer, the central character of the farce comedy, “Enter the Hero,” which was presented at the high school on the night of December 11, by the Junior Class. Robbie is a quiet, modest little fellow who craves peace above all things and in order to win the consent of his fiancee’s father for the hand of his daughter, Robbie is forced to pose as a hero, a great athlete. Poor Robbie is forced into swimming and even football, both of which are entirely foreign to him. But his friends decide that all he lacks is confidence and they prove themselves to be correct, for once Robbie’s inferiority complex is brushed aside, he becomes a veritable whirlwind. The play embodied humor galore, a bit of melodrama, surprising twists, and a delightful thread of romance. The action was tense, dramatic, and exciting through- out. The production was directed by Miss Goetz. Spring Fever February 12 marked the date of the 1938 Senior class play. It was an event that will not soon be forgotten. The action of the play took place in Mrs. Spangler’s rooming house at Brook- field college. Ed Burns, a chemistry student, Vic Lewis, an art student, and Howard Brant, a zoology student, all room there. Howard Brant is frantically work- ing on a term paper for zoology so that he can graduate the next day. Poor Mrs. Spangler is almost at her wits’ end what with explosives and painting and whatnot. Then there are the girls who come around so much. Anne Purcell comes to see (Continued on Page 22) Page Eighteen THE ARROW

Ask The Professor It took many months of preparation and the combined efforts of the faculty and students alike to prepare, Ask the Professor, the first of all school musical produc- tions ever given by Mukwonago High School, but the final product, presented April 1, and 2, proved to all that our efforts were not in vain for large crowds filled the gym both evenings. Preparation for the Operetta was begun early in December at which time the principal parts were assigned, the musical score was introduced to the orchestra, and the glee clubs started learning the various songs. After Christmas vacation, prac- tice began in earnest. It was then that every member of the faculty learned he was to take part in the paving of the way to the ultimate success of “Ask the Professor for each had a specific duty to which to devote his attentions. During this period groups of students were scattered throughout the building each practicing its individual dance routine or respective songs. The last weeks were beset with unexpected tribula- tions, sickness and the like, which added to the excitement of the production. The final evenings arrived in due time, and the result of the long practice was displayed. The clever costuming and a public address system provided added brilliance to the well-executed performance. , The story connected with “Ask the Professor opens on the Campus of a fashionable girls' school and centers around Maryida O'Neil (Helen Dewey), a laundress' daughter, and John Ainsworthy (Ralph Digman), a wealthy college boy who finances Maryida's college education. Important parts were taken by Elizabeth Ehlke, Winona Hoffbauer, Robert Hardaker, Wesley Olson, James Lorey, Mary Keniston, and Ethel Harland. Miss Goetz, who directed the dramatics, and Mr. Tetzlaff, music director, are to be commended for their efforts in making “Ask the Professor a success. NINETEEN THIRTY-EIGHT Page Seventeen
