Usually the play shows some of the future Elizabeth Taylors and Van Johnsons of community dramatics. The most unforgettable night of all is the night of graduation. Here you will find the proud parents gathered to watch their sons and daughters receive the coveted diplomas. At the same time the Seniors themselves dressed in their caps and gowns will feel their hearts fluttering, net only with joy but with sadness, when they think of leaving W.L.H.S. The sound of the graduation march and the presenting of the diplomas always send a strange, solemn feeling through each Senior, for he realizes that he is leaving his high school days behind and going out to make his way in the adult world.
