Two very successTul producTions were sTaged This year, The ChrisTmas play and The senior class play. Miss STanTield is The queen oT The boards in WesT Bend High, direcTing all plays and aT The same Time giving each parTicipanT in The acTiviTy a greaT deal oT pleasure ouT oT his associaTion wiTh her. The seniors chose The play Cross My l-learT as Their dramaTic oTTering oT The year. Miss STanTield casT The play and be- gan Tive weeks oT inTensive rehearsal, The culminaTion oT which was The successTul pre- senTaTion on April 3. A scene in The play sTopped by The camera is ThaT in which Bob RaTTray engaged in breaking phonograph records while his Tamily, Wells Grogan, Mary KuehlThau, Dan FlaherTy and Miriam PrenTice waTched horriTied. The ChrisTmas play oT I94I sTarred Dan FlaherTy and Joyce lcksTadT in The Angel in Blue Overalls. Dan and Joyce are shown enacTing a porTion oT The play which was presenTed To a sTudenT assembly and sev- eral civic groups. Though The work connecTed wiTh The drama is noT To be minimized, The Tun de- rived Trom acTing surpasses The eTiorT. Miss STanTield, picTured righT wiTh Dan FlaherTy, won The respecT oT The sTudenTs by her direcTing oT The dramaTic program. Like The hard working blocker in a TooT- ball game, The sTudenTs who work behind The scenes deserve buT seldom receive The same crediT as The acTors. Miss Ross and her assisTanTs comprised The makeup de- parTmenT while Bill Kippenhan and Alvin Roecker were valuable sTage hands.

The fellows couldn'f help admiring Coach Moeller's record: regular end and cap- fain of 1939 Universify of Wisconsin's foofball feam, brillianf dash-man on fhe frack feam, and sfudenf who ranked near The fop. The same courage and infelligence which made Coach Moeller capfain of his college feam, won fhe Wesf Bend boys. Wifh spirif and fire, fhey foughf fhe firsf games defeafing Plymoufh and Waupun. Buf fhe remainder of fhe season was a hard pill fo swallow. The Red and Whife fasfed defeaf before fhe offensives of Horicon, Beaver Dam, Harfford, Columbus, and Porf Washingfon.

The kick for fhe exfra poinf was wide. A pass fo Hancock and aggressive ball- carrying by Al culminafed in a second fouch- down and a decisive vicfory over Waupun.
