EADETS, CLASS UP WI TEH '40, PAHTIEIPATE I MA Y AETIVITIES There's something about a soldier- Firmly impressed upon the minds of us, the student body, and perhaps a few mem- bers of the class in question, was the fact that the Cadets, class of Winter '40, have left a large and vacant place in the scheme of things at University. Now, however, let us con- cern ourselves with what happened while they were still most active participants in school affairs. Their first claim to fame as Senior A's was the Cadet Color Day, a fantasia presented to the enthusiastic student body on Friday, October 27. With a theme built around a mythical toyland, the play opened with Mr. Stanton, Mr. Casey, and Mr. Raymond, fabricating dolls, which later turned out to be the Cadets, lucky people. The second curtain found the dolls, armed with lollypops and rattles, erratically pursuing a script of unparalleled originality by Yvonne Beretta. Stellar per- formers were Clark Dahlquist, as Donald Duck, Roger Smith Baby Snooksg Glen Sundby, clown and master of ceremonies, Nell Aaronson, Raggedy Ann, Betty Flam and Phyllis Moyer, Farina Twinsg Esdras l-lartley, captain, Bernice Robinson 1 1 French doll, Steward Bledsoe, the mossy old Atlantean: jackie Baker, Betty Boop, jack Seiler, lieutenant, Alfred Schemanas and Bruce Garner, the donkey, Clarence Boyle, ape, Nina Mae Preston, jack-in-the-box, jack Ware, Bob Shockley, and joe Borello, Penguins, and john Boehm, clock. At the end of the play, the amassed class presented itself in cardinal senior sweaters. january l9 saw the Cadets triumph over the Atlanteans by a score of 3 to 2 in the traditional Senior Field Day. And at last it came, as we knew it would, that period of sad goodbyes that heralds the approach of graduation. We watched with mingled awe, admiration and sorrow the cere- mony of the Cadets, one hundred and sixty strong, graduating on Wednesday, january 3l. Commencement speakers were jack Seiler, Cadet president, Thekla l-laines, Dorothy Crif- fiths, Betty Flam, and Evelyn Marsh. Glen Sundby sang.
