F aoa birrnerin At the beginning of our first year in high school we, the freshman class, came to school wondering what that period of our life would be like. Two girls and four boys started in September but later a third girl, Esther Johnson, joined the class. Our initiation came soon and it was quite an initiation. We were encouraged by the fact that it would not be repeated. Then came our play “Aunt Jane’s Accident.” It was the first time that a fresh- man class alone had ever presented a play for the children at their Christmas party. We have all worked hard and are going to try to do the same for the rest of our years in St. Joseph High. Harris Hoeffel was elected president and Edward Steigmeyer, vice-president. [14]

Class ie lay “Where’s Grandma” is the name of our senior class play for 1937. Helen Philip plays the leading role as “Grandma.” Grandma is a delightful old lady who wants her grandchildren’s love. Jack Worley (Bill Riedhart) and Carol Worley (Marcella Johnson) are her grand- children. Grandma tries to impress her granddaughter and grandson, Gretchen and Bob Blake (Loretta Bollan and Donald Shoudel) by her outlandish attempts to be youthful and sophisticated. Arline Truesdale (Helen Klinker), Midnight and Dahlia (Bill Beber and Mildred Van Derbosch) complete the cast. The entire cast displayed splendid dramatic ability. The play was a great success and was appreciated by everyone. [16]
