La Masque Listen to those kids, Hiram- Where's Grandpa's whiskers? Grab 'em quick- And give me some glue to make 'em stick. Make the heroinels lips like a cupidls bow. The curtain's going up, donlt be so slow! Challenged by their rival play producers, fifty zealous members of La Masque under the leadership of Miss Sandy came to a victorious finish in a pay your dues con- testf, The captured prize was an hour's free entertainment furnished by Mr. Jordon's group. The first presentation, Hugo in a Hurry,'i directed by Genevieve Rustvoldt, was a hilarious comedy with clever lines. In direct type contrast to this was Zona Gale's The Neighborsfi directed by Lucille Kaping. Too Many Marys, a play with an all girl cast, centered around life at a boarding school. It was given at the Girl Reserve- Hi-Y carnival last March. Bessie Kellogg directed the production. The first boy director of the year, Douglas Guddal, guided Grandpa Goes Hunt- ing to a successful performance at the joint musical-dramatic program, March 20. Be Careful, Doctor and Bread, a very d1'amatic play, brought the year to a grand finish. President, Douglas Guddal, vice-president, Max Johnson, secretary-treasurer, Reva Smith. Listen, Hiram, to that student director- i'Where's the prompter? He's forgot his lines! It 's happened before-about ten times. My hair's turning gray-I'm nearly frantic. This play has created a perfect panic. Actorettes Attaining the record of making more public appearances than any other similar group of actors in the history of the school, Mr. Jordon's Actorettcs perfected many productions. The actors also put increased emphasis on staging, lighting, and make-up. All of the more than fifty members expended their individual talent in directing, acting, make-up, or stage management. Market Hours, eapably directed by Harriet Stein, proved amusing for seven dif- ferent audiences. Harriet also took charge of The B-ishop's Candlesticks. Lucille Smith was student manager of Where's Elmer? , a comedy portraying the eiorts of a hen-peeked husband to attend a burlesque show. The mystery of a burned out light- ing system provided the theme for The Shadow, directed by Genevieve Cusack. Enthusiastic applause was accorded The Shelter, a Christmas play presented in convocation. Marion Melham directed this production. A light comedy, Detour Ahead, concluded the activities of this organization. President, Lucille Smith, vice-president, Marion Melhamg secretary-treasurer, Alton Mielke. They each act their part! They develop with art, Like Gables and Garbos They each act their part!

W Growing Pains ,Di jg W ' f M4 H Who'cl have thought the little ones, it 7 1 5 ii' The high school juniors, gals and sons, f X V l At whom the seniors make the puns, LJ , A, f .N i Could give a play-'twas staged so wel j 'T 3 J That when the final curtain fell T V7 ' yi' Even lordly seniors said PtNvaS swell! . y N Ye north wind did blow and there was en f snowf Thusfdid old man winter i balk the attempts of the juniors to present their cl play. However, he cou1dn't keep W a good cast down for long. f'Growing Pains was finally presented for the public on March 2, after three postponements. Alvin Gilbertson was well cast as George, and Reva Smith as Terry, his younger tom-boy sister. Both were assailed by the trials and tribulations of growing pains, especially those of puppy love. Their problems added much to the worry and vexation of their mother and easy-going father, equally well portrayed by Shirley Rose and Dana Lepler. ' George's affections were wasted on the sophisticated Prudence, Louise Gustafson, who played her part well. Terry furnished a large number of laughs in her attempts to get a fellow by imitating the technique of Prudence. The gang, the dance, George's Model T, an affair with the law, and the purple passions of youth, all went to make for one of the most successful junior class plays on record. The Enemy With the Ethiopian war raging and European relations strained to the utmost, the faculty presented Channing Pollock 's anti-war drama, 'tThe Enemy, which showed full well the horror and futility of war. The play centered around two opposing factions-those for and against war. The thinking people, represented by the Arndt family, questioned its value, and the profi- teers, portrayed by the Mr. Behrend, expounded only the glory of battle. With the coming of peace Pauli appeared, bereft of husband and friends, and ter- ribly aged. Her prayer as the curtain closed was, God give us toleration-God give us love-and God give us peace! Say, Mandy-gal, would you have thunk That people who give grades and Hunk The students would their time have sunk To give a play? ' V W I'd think they'd say, It's all the bunk! It's all a hunk of bally-bunk, To waste my time on jolly junkf' I'd think they'd say. But did they say they would not? Or did they say they could not? No! I should say they did not! They gave a play.
