1937 THE ANNUAL CLASS PLAY Barbara Ftiercliief' by Clyde Fitch was chosen by the ofhcers of the Class of 1937 as the senior play. Although this was more diflicult to portray than the usual comedies staged by schools, it was felt that the rare talent possessed by this class should not be wasted on an easily presented play. This confidence was not mis- placed because the production, difficult as it was, had a very successful presentation. The title role was played by Doris Johnson, well-known and excellent actress of many high school productions, who ably portrayed a beautiful Southern belle involved in tragedy. The male lead, Captain Trumbull, was taken by Stanley Hop- kinson, newcomer to the school, who proved in this, his first dramatic appearance, that he has great ability. Mildred Farwell took the part of Sue Royce, in love with Barbara's brother Arthur, J Marion Carroll . Rita Sheridan . Elizabeth O'Brien Dorothy Edwardson William Stevenson . Robert Ryan . .
