Newte.......................................Bill Noreen That annual senior activity, the presentation of the class play, came this year on May 26 when dramatic stars from the Top Performers' gave The Second Lady Bantock. by Jerome K. Jerome, in the Music Auditorium. The plot of this play involves the marriage of Fanny [Nan Parks) to Vernon Wetherell (John Amberg). unaware of the fact that he is Lord Bantock of Rutlandshire. Further complications arise when Fanny discovers that the servants at Bantock Hall are her own dominating relatives from whom she ran away when she was young. The struggle of Fanny to take her proper place as mistress of Bantock Hall creates amusing situations, but everything ends on a happy note. Friends and critics of the senior stars agreed that the presentation was a truly professional one. One high spot of the performance was a specialty dance, arranged and introduced into the script by Barbara Jensen. 20

Four eighth graders took part in this program. Of course the older midgets did other things besides work. They had several parties including one on Hallowe'en and another before one of the U. High basketball games. The smallest addition to U. High's show, the seventh grade, also did its share. They worked for the Red Cross by making cartoon books and scrapbooks. With a start like this Midgets should be giants in the act before many years have passed. Their class sponsors tell us their activities have already put them well on the way. 22
