Collier. S. Ramcr. Senior Class Play Age old tradition was broken this year when the senior class decided to present their class play during the winter quarter, instead of in the spring. 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.

They took the responsibility of being juniors quite seriously, carrying out successfully their traditional activities. The most important of these, of course, and one of the main events of the year, was the J. S. The junior-senior prom took a lot of planning and cooperation. but it was one of the best U. High has ever had. There was a class party, too. The sleigh ride was a huge success and the party turned out to be loads of fun for all. It was held on February 25. at the Farm Campus. After the sleigh ride the hospitality of the Riglers was enjoyed and appreciated by everyone. The junior girls have cheered the teams (on which the junior boys were well represented) on to victory all through the fall and winter. As for the athletes- in the class, they have done a bang-up job in football, basketball. and wrestling. Next year s teams should profit from the experience these boys have obtained. Some fine talent in other lines is displayed in the class of 46. In fact, one of the leads in Seven Sisters' went to Nancy Rigler. Other eleventh graders also played in this school production, and when Highlites rolled around, many juniors were found in the cast! When the U. Highlites rolled around the juniors went all out. The stage crew was made up of juniors almost exclusively, and junior talent was not lacking behind the footlights. The voices of Jo French. Donna Daniels, Carol Macey. and Lorand Tritter really helped to put the show over, not to mention the grand job Alan Rice did on the piano. The Mothers’ Tea was a big event for the girls. It gave them all a chance to show off their mothers as well as their new clothes. An international theme was used. The mothers were given name tags of miniature flags and the centerpiece was a group of international flags. Yes. the juniors of 1944-1945 have done wonderful work and are looking forward to a successful senior year. Howard Lorberbaum Ray Harri .... Dave Fleming . . . Stan Gabay . . .
