Representative The Senior Play, the 1931-32 annual, and finally the graduation plans all add to the lure of the final close of this drama, Commencement Night. This play will leave pleasant memories with the members of the cast. They have appreciated the help of the faculty and of Miss Church, who has been the director and advisor through all four acts. She has earned the admiration and affection of every member of the cast and it will be with a sense of regret that they await a new casting for parts in the fall because they cannot take their advisor, Miss Church, with them.

THE NETHERLAND NINETEEN THIRTY-TWO enior Glass gfistory HIS ye 11 mfuks the completion of the foul act di 'ima p1 esented bv the Class of '32. This drama, although not a pure comedy, con- tained many touches of humor. The cast was composed of the members of the class of '32 and varied with each act. The scene was laid in the Rio Vista High School and the time covers the school semes- ters from the opening of the fall term in 1928 to the closing of 1932. Although the performers in the first act were rather timid and made some very noticeable errors, the audience was favorably impressed. When the crises of the Freshman Return were successfully passed and credits had been secured for their respective roles, the actors looked forward eagerly to the second act. Those persons who directed the act and who took the important roles were: Jean Christensen ....... ...,..........,... P resident Edwin Heibergher I ...... .............,. V ice-President Frances Crescenzi ..... ..... S ecretary-Treasurer K Kenneth Leimbach ,..... .,,...,..... R epresentative The second act opened a few months later. The cast was smaller and seemed more self-confident in their interpretations of their parts. The cli- max of this scene came on September 27, when the Freshman Reception was given to welcome the Class of '33, The leads were shifted to: Kenneth McKinnon ..,...,....,........,........r............,...,....... President Phyllis Fenton ........ ..,....,.... V ice-President Martha Brann .......... ...... S ecretary-Treasurer Romildo Pezzaglia ..,,.,,.......,..............,...,.,.......... Representative These actors proved themselves equal to their roles and rivaled the leaders of the first act in their efficiency and enthusiasm. - The fall of 1930 saw the curtain rise upon the third act of this realistic drama. During this act the cast was diminished again in numbers but not in skill. The Junior Prom, the Junior Play, and the struggle to earn their credits caused the plot to become more complicated to the actors, but they increased their efforts and the third act was pronounced a success.
