DEAR UNDERCLASSMEN. Hasn’t it been wonderful? U. High, I mean! We've worked hard, we've had fun. we've cheered our teams and what’s more we ve learned something. Every day that we've been here has made all of us more worldly, more wise and much more wonderful, n est-ce pas? Remember the football games last fall? Some times it was so exciting we nearly died but win or lose, the team was always great. And how about those times over in the Music Auditorium when we were all smeared with make-up or buried under props, and the final night when everything turned out perfectly anyway? Then that wonderful spring snow storm when the bus was only 3 hours late, and all those lovely girls with their fresh spring dresses, and all those maddening boys who were oblivious to spring fever. We are all sad at the thought of leaving and we II always remember you. We hope you won't forget any of us. THE SENIORS OF '45 19

This change enabled the seniors to participate in many more of the spring quarter activities which, in former years, they were forced to give up because play rehearsals occupied too much of their time. A committee composed of class members and under the supervision of the class advisers, Mr. Gjerde and Miss West, and the dramatics teacher. Mr. Brink, was appointed to choose the play to be given. They decided on Growing Pains”, an amusing three act play concerning the troubles of a family with two teen-aged youngsters. The call for tryout was well answered, but because only eighteen persons were needed to fill the cast, many future actors and actresses were turned down. For three weeks room 210 was the scene of rehearsals every afternoon at 3:15. At the end of these seemingly short weeks. Growing Pains” was presented at the Music Auditorium on Saturday, March seventeenth. The audience s enthusiastic applause and praise proved it ranked as one of the best senior class plays performed at U. High. Credit for the tremendous success of the play goes not only to the cast members but also to the director. Mr. Brink, and to the hardworking committees who planned and completed backstage and business preparations.
