OPERETTA MAY PETE DRAMATIC CLUB STAGE MANAGERS JUNIOR PLAY CAST OPERETTA The operetta. Hollywood Bound, was presented this year, with Emma Lou Shimlcus and Fred Roberts in the star roles. The plot dealt with a movie colony and a race horse; all of this surrounded by singing choruses. The money raised by this play was used by the music department for purchasing instruments. It was given October 12th and 13th. Miss Brittan and Miss Redulis were in charge of the directing. MAY FETE The G. A. A. put on a May Fete each year with the purpose of raising funds for the Girls Athletic department. Last year's May Fete was presented last May 8th and was entitled Snow Drop . This play included the crowning of the May Queen, Miss Lucille Armon, and the Maid of Honor, Miss Louise Hible. This was the most stupendous performance of the year, full of color, gaiety, songs, and dancing. Miss Dowiatt deserves much credit for its success. STAGE MANAGERS The hardest working boys in and around the school are the stage managers. Pulling curtains, setting up scenery, setting up and taking down chairs, and handling the liqhts are very few of the things that they must do. No better choice could have been made in their selection, since John Gerchalk, Franklin Dugas, and John Brazas fulfilled all of their requirements and no one has had any comment to make other than satisfactory. JUNIOR PLAY The Junior Class presented one of the best plays of the year. Whether it was the quality of the play, the acting, or the wonderful directing of Miss Redulis is not agreed upon, but For Pete's Sake” received favorable comment from spectators in all parts of the darkened gymnasium during the performance. The money made is used for the Annual Junior-Senior Banquet. DRAMATIC CLUB PLAY Roger's Wild Rose” was presented October 13, 1936 by the Dramatic Club for the purpose of increasing the music department purse. The story dealt with a wealthy young man, Roger Ames, falling in love with a country girl, Eva. The characters included Franklin Dugas, Margaret Balsamello, Patricia Delanois, John Brazas, Alfred Vi-let, Adele Guntor, Eleanor Miglin, Maurice Sole, and Evelyn Harrier. SENIOR PLAY Each year the Senior Class puts on a play to help defray the expenses of caps and gowns for graduation. The play is directed by Mr. Alison, who has had a great deal of experience in handling dramatic stars. This year's play is Romance in a Boarding House. The Seniors, who each previous year get experience in the Junior Play, usually put on an excellent performance. This year, the Seniors are very optimistic. They believe that they will put on a play so good that a very large attendance will be expected with the result that they will be the class that will donate the greatest amount toward the purchase price of the new motion picture machine. t’aue Tvtnty-seven
