John Sid Steensen Miss Pearson .........Betty Norris Miss Wellington ......Lois Cullmann Attendant .....................Ruth Schwartz OPERETTA The last operetta given by this High School was given two years ago. Mr. Halvorsen and Miss Thompson are doing their best to put one across this year. “Ask the Professor” is the operetta to be given on April 12th and 13th. The story takes place on the campus of a fashionable Girls’ School on Commencement Day. The usual crowd of relatives and friends is present to witness the crowning of the queen and to join in the festivities that follow. John Ainsworthy, who comes to see his sister June graduate, meets Mary-ida, the sister of his room mate at college, and is much attracted to both her and her friend, Emily Lee, who is a student and an assistant teacher in the school. Because Maryida’s mother does laundry work for the girls in the school to help Red. her son, through college and to keep Maryida in night school, she does not want it known that Red belongs to Maryida and her, fearing it will hurt Red’s standing in college. Red, who is helping all he can. thinks she is foolish and rebels, but to no purpose. John has a discussion on heredity with Professor Breakeasy of the Girls’ School, and to prove that heredity is all bunk as he has always believed, decides to send Maryida to the Girls’ School and give here the same chance that girls from wealthier families enjoy. Maryida promises her brother Red that she will not accept the offer of charity from John. However, when she learns that John’s old aunt is the one who makes the offer, and that the Professor thinks she is an ignoramus, in a fit of pique she forgets her promise to her brother and gracefully accepts John’s offer before the whole school. Act Two takes place on the same campus on Commencement Day one year later. Maryida surprises everyone with her splendid work during the year. She has been crowned queen and everybody is waiting for the finishing event of the day, the Commencement Ball, when it is learne d that John’s aunt is not coming and according to an old rule of the school Maryida cannot attend the ball as she has no chaperon. Maryida learns that instead of an aunt, June and John have paid her way through school. Miss Stone, the President, angered by their subterfuge. will not allow June to chaperon Maryida. and recalls John and June’s invitation to the ball. Maryida indignantly leaves for home. In the meantime Red and his mother arrive. They were summoned by Tommy, the comedian of the play. Tommy is sent post haste after Maryida on his motorcycle, and she is brought back. The Professor is quite overcome by the beauty and poise of Maryida’s mother and declares that the source of Maryida’s breeding and fine mind is at last made plain, and in spite of John’s seeming proof to the contrary, he still believes in heredity. Red, who has found a fine job and won a prize for an invention, pays Maryida’s debts in full. The President forgives John and June and so the wash lady’s son and daughter make good and all ends happily. Some of those included in the cast were , John Steensen, Betty Norris, Alice Griswold, Elmer Klos, Rudy Niedfeldt, Beulah Griswold, Norman Nelson, Lillian Jones and Beatrice Hanson. Then there was the famous chorus and 40 dancers. This was a Halverson-Thompson production. Ar-dith McEldowney was the accompanist for all the musical numbers. SENIOR PLAY .... “It Happened In Hollywood -- CAST Jarvis ...........Rudolph Niedfeldt Messenger ...........Francis Capper Tom Garrity ..........Billy Johnsoil Alan Tremayne .........Elmer Klos Josie Pembroke .......Jean Wright Princess Delores ......Vera Naset Phyllis Duganne ....Lois Cullmann Bert ...............John Steensen Doreen Downing......Eleanor Runge Polly O’Connor .......June Havens Mrs. Pembroke ......Florence Miller Sir Humphrey ..........Earl Linse Alan Tremayne, from Kansas, has come to Hollywood to crash the movies. A friendly press agent passes Alan off as Prince Umbert, who has just left Europe for Hollywood to escape a marriage of state. The two rent the Pembroke mansion from the butler left in charge, who has no right to rent it in the Pembroke’s absence. Then Josie Pembroke returns from Europe with her friend Princess De-lores, and just for a lark insists that the butler pass them off as servants so that she and Delores will have ringside seats on all the fun. And then the real Prince Umbert appears! And Josie’s mother! And the Prince’s guardian. So do a lot of movie people, for in the meantime Alan has made good in the movies, and has a title-hungry star camping on his trail. But Alan doesn’t fall for the star’s wiles. Strangely, the girl who interests him is the odd little servant, who is really Josie. Then events so turn that Josie and Princess Delores blossom out as their real selves, and the real Prince confronts the bogus Prince, and the Queen of the movies confronts the real Princess Delores. DRAMATIC CLUB This year, at the suggestion of Miss Thompson, a dramatic club was started. The club has 27 charter members and 3 members who joined after it was started. The officers elected were: Grand Director .........Elmer Klos Assistant Director ....Alice Griswold Prompter .............Lillian Jones Business Manager ....Fay Cullmann Meetings are held on the second and fourth Tuesdays of every month. The object is to give a play at every meeting to learn more about dramatic work. There has not been as much accomplished as was hoped for in this club because of so many other activities going on. We hope this club will be continued in future years. June Hoyer: “Do you like codfish balls?” Lucille S.: “I don’t know; I never attended one.” I shot a paper wad into the air Thus it would land, I knew not where; But as I watched its sailing flight, I sorta wished it wouldn’t light, For around the corner a teacher came Now wasn’t that a perfect aim? For it hit the teacher right in the head— Mmmm, Boy—was my face red?
