1940 U AND I enior Class Histor Vtfe, the Class of 1940, have reached a time which comes to all good things. In other words, our company must disband. We look back now and view with surprise the improvement in our presenta- tion during the last four years. In 1936 we, timid and stage-frightened Freshmen, had as our lead Peter Scarseth. His co-star was Richard Barlow, and Bob Swartz acted both as prompter and as business manager. Miss Kitchell and Dr. Hartley were our directors. Our Hrst act, featuring the Spring party, was quite as good as could be expected from such inexperienced players. As Sophomores, we chose John Schnebly as our star, Wendell Winkelmann as his co-star, Barbara Holmes as prompter, David Brown as business manager, and Miss Bower and Mr. Alstrom as directors. Although we became slightly overconfident of our acting ability, our party and a talent assembly somewhat justified our opinion. When, being Juniors, we were qualified to call ourselves upper- classmen and therefore experienced troupers, our stars were Ruth Wooters, leading lady, David Brown, leading man, Marjorie Galli- van, prompterg Pierre Noyes, business manager, and Dr. Hartley and Mr. Alstrom, directors. Called upon for some of our best per- formances in this act, we presented a good Christmas party, pro- duced a group of very successful Junior plays, and entertained the Seniors at a really extraordinary banquet at the Urbana Country Club. During our Senior year, our troupe, the greatest in the history of University High School, was led by David Brown, star, Eugene Van Vranken, co-star: Marjorie Gallivan, prompterg Dorothy Mur- phy, business managerg and Miss McHarry and Dr. Hartley, direc- tors. Our Senior play, Big-Hearted Herbert, and our Hallowe'en party were, of course, produced superlatively. And, even though we have learned our lines and otherwise ac- complished the serious aims of a play cast, we have had a good time doing it-an accomplishment which showed up to advantage in this, our final production.
