Freshman History We take it upon ourselves to inform those who are unaware of the fact, that there are some eighty two new additions to the cast. We have been staying back stage, learning the Whys and wherefores of the various scenes to the tune of F , U , E . We have already advanced to the role of critics at dress rehearsals fin assemblyj and artistic tenden- cies have been cropping out in the form of wildly fictitious names and convocation enter- tainments. We are pleased to announce to the Theater world in general that in between colds and sore throats, these from cheering our teams, nothing more serious than stick- ing feet into full aquariums has happened. SUE ENDERS. The Sophomores' Part The sophomore class began its stage career in '23, under the direction of Miss Bring- ham. Since then the scene and characters have been changed many times, but the show goes on. Our first production was a musical given before the State Teachers' Association in Indianapolis in 1930. ln the same years, and in the following year, we produced two plays, Hansel and Gretel and Alice in XVonderland . Of course since we joined the W. L. H. S. corporation, we have been for the moat part, in the background, except when we staged the Gingham Gallop last fall. This was coached by Mr. Wayne. Frequently some of our members have shown themselves in the casts for athletics and other activities. CATHERINE ANN CROMER. BETTY HINER. Page Twenty-five
