Minor Characters: About one hundred and twenty-seven insignificant beings. Sponsor: Miss Geneva Bane In this sc e the actors make their first appearance, which is the beginning of their dramatic career. Being amateurs, it seems ages before the signs of their inferiority begin to wear off, but they soon learn all the tricks under the guidance of the “old troupes.’ ' Due to the sudden change from Dramatic School to the Stage, they flutter about with an air of importance which is afterwards realized to be only a false impression. HigI lights in the scene: 1 Mr. W. K. Barnett resigns and Mr. Alfred K. Eagle becomes superintendent as well as principal. 2 The players show their acting ability for the first time by appearing in Stunt Night where they carry off second prize. 3 A fire in December destroys the gymnasium and auditorium. 4 Mr. Eagle is blessed with a son, John Russell. Act II Scene: Radford High School Time: Sophomore year Major Characters: Charlotte Seaton, President, Charles Crews, Vice-President; Billie Doris Martin, Secretary and Treasurer Minor Characters: About one hundred and seventeen very wise beings. Sponsors: Miss Ethel Roberts, Miss Shirley Miller, and Mr. Justin Perkins. In this scene the actors take a second step, this time with the knowledge that they have someone to look down upon. They feel bel ' er too, for the others, (the Juniors and Seniors) don ' t have to look so far down on them. They are Sophomore players and who can blame them for feeling superior? Highlights in the scene 1 The cast is reorganized under new leaders. 2 The auditorium and gymnasium are replaced with better ones. 3 Participating in Stunt Night, they again take second place. Act III Scene: Same as I and II Time: Junior year Major Characters: Mae Wilson, President; Magaline Cornette, Vice President; Randolph Kirtner, Secretary; Betty Kincer, Treasurer. Minor Characters: About one hundred and ten proud upperclassmen. Sponsors: Miss Dorothy Miller and Mr. Arthur Giesen. The players, who now consider themselves old timers, appear on the set for the first time demanding more privileges. They are upperclassmen now and their work has taken on a somewhat more serious outlook. New fields are open to them, and they feel as intimidated as they did when they were freshmen, but in a more dignified way. 18 OAK LEAF Highlights in the scene: 1 Mr. L. D. Adams ' surprises’ ' the cast by getting married. 2 Mr. A. K. Eagle resigns as superintendent and Mr. F. O. Wygal takes his part. 3 Mr. Adams becomes the new principal. 4 The cast’s annual “get-together,” the Junior and Senior Banquet, is held in the gymnasium where the Gone With The Wind theme is carried out in the menu, program, and decorations. Several scenes from the book are enacted with Mary Peters as “Scarlett O’Hara’’ and Robert Early St. Clair as Rhett Butler. Music is furnished by the Commandants. 5 The players order their senior rings and class pins. 6 The cast trips the light fantastic’’ in the first school dances. Act IV Scene : Radford High School Time: Senior year Major Characters: Charles Crews, President; David Stevens, Vice-President; Dorothy Damewood, Secretary; Helen Kemp, Treasurer. A iinor Characters: About one hundred very superior beings. Sponsors: Miss Lucy Le Grand, Miss Ruby Dobyns, an d Mr. Manuel Reynolds. The players are gathered now in the last act of the play where they all resolve to give the best performances of their careers. Everything seems a little more important . . . each class, each game, and, yes, each other. But the time for advancement has come and the players will be offered parts in other plays — of which “Work In The Business World” and “College” ar the most im- portant ones. It is in these plays, that if they so choose they may become beginners again. Highlights in the scene: 1 Girls go to the State Hi-Y Conference in Blacksburg. 2 Much to the joy of the Home Economics Girls, Arnheim is remodeled and the upper story is furnished and put into use. 3 Due to the combined efforts of everyone, the cast makes a better showing in Stunt Night, this time carrying off first prize with their presentation of “Your Future And Mine” which was written by members of the class. The leads are taken by Char- lotte Seaton as “Madame Tanya Conchita,” David Stevens as “Don Carter, and Frances Kuhn as Pat Johnson. As the first scene opens, Pat and Don are having their fortunes told by Madame Conchita, the gypsy fortune teller. She predicts their future and as she tells of each important event in their lives the curtain opens and the scene is enacted on the stage. These scenes show their graduation from college; Don doing surgical work in the hospital; the marriage of Don and Pat and their honeymoon in Hawaii; Don in front of a camp fire with his comrades when peace is decreed; the peacefulness of their declining years; and the last scene, which is also the most impressive, shows the place of their eternal rest, and as taps are played the curtains close slowly on the Senior Stunt. 4 The cast has its pictures taken for the annual. 5 It is the year for their Play, and the Junior and Senior Banquet given in their honor. 6 They all feel quite superior now and at last they get their invitations and calling cards. 7 (Eyes are wet, throats are thick, and smiles are far away as the last act draws to an end). It is time for the Baccalaureate Sermon and Graduation night. 8 One hundred strong, they march across the stage and have placed in their hand the official seal of Radford High School, their honorable discharge, their diplomas. 9 The members of the cast take this opportunity to give their sincere appreciation to the Faculty Directors for helping them on their way and to wish the rest of the cast as happy a time as they experienced.

Radford High School has a Diversified Occupations Class, which has proved a great benefit to the juniors and seniors in the program. Through the medium of this program the members of our class are getting advanced preparation for the work they wish to follow after graduation, by working at that occupation on a part-time basis. The social highlight of the year was the student-employer banquet held on Monday night, April 7, 1941, at which time we were hosts to our employers. We, the members of the Diversified Occupations Class of I940- 4I, owe great tribute to our employers, and to our coordi- nator, Mr. George H. Stiff, for making this class possible.
