Curtain call! Timidly, the company of actors took their places to play four episodes upon the stage of their high school life. The action was somewhat halting during the freshman episode, but we gained confidence as we worked. Bob Marker, freshman presi- dent, was ably assisted in his work as stage manager by all the actors. The same company with Harry Tate as manager eagerly awaited their entrances for the sophomore episode. The tempo was improved, the actors more assured, and the talent more pronounced. The setting was unchanged-the time, a year later. The third episode went on without a hitch. Bob Raymond efhciently managed the show. We worked tirelessly, although some- times a bit resentfully. To celebrate the ending of the third act, we had a marvelous party Cjunior Promj. Dance music! Handsome men! Beautiful ladies! Lights! Fourth and last episode! Small wonder that we put our very souls into the parts we were playing. Stage manager, Harry Tate and his assistants, Dick Wilkinson and Elouise Speelman, were energetic workers. During the third act, the National Honor Society accepted as members: Hazel Roberts, June Allingham, Mildred Rose Brittsan, Elouise Speelman, Elizabeth Fell, Philip Shick, and Harry Tate. Bertha LeViness, Ruth Allen, Ralph Small, Harry Wherry, William Ray, Rowena Gekler, Marcile Walters, and Nellie Balyeat were honored by the society during the senior episode. For diversion, specialties were introduced. A football number by Captain Paul Gipe, Clifford Hammond, Harry Munday, Kenneth Neiford, John Partin, David Rucklos, Edgar Snyder, Ora Tindall, and Harry Wherry was splendid. Deserving Commendation was the basketball number presented by Captain Bob Williman, John Partin, Howard Cryer, Robert Small, Ralph Small. Edward Kanney, Bert Pontius, and Ora Tindall. Marjorie Richards, Betty Fell, Helen Baxter, Mary Kampf, Myrtle Olson, Jessie Studebaker, Phyllis Germann, Evelyn Dickey, Mary Whitney, and Peg Gribler presented a similar specialty. A clever presentation, Pomander Walk, offered further diversion from the regular stage routine. Miss West directed the cast composed of William Ray, Sumner Walters, Ralph Small, Robert Small, David Cress, Betty Fell, June Allingham, Eva Boddy, Mary Whitney, Elouise Speelman, Mildred Rose Brittsan, Rowena Gekler, Alice Poling, Robert Williman, Walter Abbott, Philip Shick, james Agner, and David Rucklos. Never again shall the same characters move about together on the same stage. Happy and carefree, we played our respective parts and it was with a feeling of sadnss that we made our final exit.
