STM Swan Lights-music-curtain-and on Friday, May the first, the Senior class of '36 launched what it fondly considers the best Senior Play ever produced. Of course it was good-how could it help but be? The play was Ferenc Mo1nar's World-Wide success The Swan -the director Was Miss Eleanor D. Theek. The beautiful princess was Ruth Rehm, the luckless, lovable tutor, Roy McCormick and the winner of the lady in dispute, Ben Latting. Jean Van Voorhees emoted splendidly as Bea- trice, the ambitious mother who schemed to marry her daughter to Prince Albert and incidentally a royal throne, instead of the charming but in- significant tutor. Jean M. Smith and Margaret Parrish thoroughly en- joyed their parts as the fourteen and twelve year old boys. As Father Hyacinth, Edward Wagnon interpreted a difficult character part. Vir- ginia House was the excitable and fussy Symphorosa. Elegant in uniforms as Colonel Dunderlich and Count Lutzen, David Platter and Russel Bohlke yes-manned the Prince. Betty Firth played Princess Maria Dominica to perfection. CAnd ask anybody in the play about the grand party they held at her house after the final curtainll Clifford Scholey and Bob Craft were the heights of polished ser- vants With Virginia Stoddard a runner-up as maid. As ladies-in-Waiting, lackeys and hussars, Nettie Dulberger, Margaret Ottinger, Jane Preston, Mildred Benson, Harry Ferris, Bill Steinmetz, Harry Hadd, and David Hocker made impressive background. The back stagers who saw that everything went off just as it should, in other words, the Production Staff included Betty Jane Mock, prompter, Jane Bottorff, property chairman, Edward Dirks, stage manager: Betty Jane Scott, wardrobe mistress, Betty Lu Miller, program design, Vern Vanderbilt fJuniorJ, electrician, Clifford Scholey, call boy, Mr. Richard Hoover, make-up, Rosemary Treanor and Emily Stine, co-publicity, Bal- lard Smith, business manager, George Shively, house manager, Mary L.
