The cast was as follows: Peggy, the Irish heroine Concetta Rossi Patrick, who loves Peggy Austen Bennett Mary, sweetheart of Robert Mae Swanson Robert, bewitched by Peggy Raynall Coley Mike O’Noole, cupid and gardner James Wilson Agnes Candace Thompson and Rosie Helen Travers lost their boy friends because of pretty Peggy. The accompanying chorus consisted of: Irma Judson, Ruth Burton, Maude Eyre, Phyllis Sharrow, Dolly Wight, Elizabeth Martin. Catherine Minor, Nettie Clements, Frank Matula, Kenneth Bradley, Charles Sharp, Brewster Reichenbach, William Swanson and Oscar Lovdal. Mrs. John D. Coombs was the Director and Miss Ruth Scott, the Accompanist. The scenery contributed greatly to the success of the production. It was built by J. D. Coombs, George Salokas and Brewster Reichenbach, and it was designed and painted by Mae Swanson and Raynall Coley. . . . The scene depicted a thatched cottage and its surrounding landscape, including mountains, lake and flowers. This scenery cost 33, and, as it was left in the Town Hall it has been used for numerous town affairs. The profits, after all bills were paid were 100. This was our first Operetta, and its success was very encouraging. SENIOR ACTIVITIES On Feb. 12th the Senior class gave a card party to raise money for their graduation. Refreshments were served and unique prizes were given. This was during the Bridge tournament and charity card party season. The Seniors also had a dance at the Town Hall, April 1st. The Triple Townies” furnished the music and the proceeds went toward graduation expenses. The attendance showed the results of the dancing classes. JUNIOR ACTIVITIES The Juniors, as usual, did little this year in the way of entertainment. They finally got up ambition enough to have a party or social, April 22nd. SOPHOMORE ACTIVITIES The first important event for the Sophomore class was the ciass party, held at the community house in Woodbury on Friday of Thanksgiving vacation, November 27, 1931. It was attended by about twenty-five people, some guests from the other classes of the High School. The dancing and games were enjoyed by all and the party u’as considered a success. The faithful work of the committee in charge helped to accomplish this. The subject of class rings was considered early in the school year. A satisfactory arrangement of weekly payments was finally decided upon. Each person wishing to make use of this plan, gave the stipulated amount to Adam Wittek, class treasurer, every Tuesday. The treasurer has been really a credit to the class. He has been very successful in exacting dues from the members of the class and our dance was a success financially. FRESHMAN ACTIVITIES The Freshmen had a party at the community House on Jan. 30th. Games, favors and refreshments were enjoyed. The officers of our four classes during the year 1931-1932 have been as follows: The Class of 1932: President—Reginald Wittek Vice-President—Philip Scoville Secretary—Helen Travers Treasurer—Alida Warner. The Class of 1933: President—Raynall Coley Vice-President—Margaret Smith Secretary—Helen Belz Treasurer—Stanley Lusas.

Htterarp From the Scrapbook of C. Robert Abbott THE SENIOR PROCESSIONAL Twenty four together Laughing! Poking fun! Each a merry fellow; Each a joking one. Mae—so gay and cheery With her Billy” goat in tow Basketball and Mirror, In each she made a great show. Philip and our basketball Quite a jumper, quite a pal With him should come Maggie But she’s not a Senior gal. Russell, pious Russell As a turtle likes to go— But looking at his high school years Is 4 in 3 so slow? Reichy, long and lanky, Known to bat and ball, Sometimes he is pranky But always he is tall. Salokas—tall and brawny, Quite a pitcher in the box And with the bat our crony. Gives bold and burly knocks. Henry of the drug store— Chocolate sodas there we taste— Believes the aged proverb, Schoolward haste makes waste. Morris and his Physics, Chemistry and all. Shows, in getting higher. You needn't be so tall. If it’s not his crazy Chevy Or his drawing motor cars. He is entertaining Elsie. Who is this goggled Tarz? And Elsie,—silent Elsie Blushes tint her cheeks When bothered by Sir Kenny, Months and days and weeks. Irma and her corpulence Have shook our well worn floors But this high school, if Irmaless, Would be just full of bores. Katie, joyous Katie, In our fun has taken part, A second Irma maybe, At least a gay young heart. Among our taller figures. Must Helen here belong, She joined in basketball, So did Oscar—tall and strong. And here comes Grace and Reggie” They lounge about the hall, And likewise does our Sidney— Has Cupid got them all? And then of course is Benny, In basketball so good; And here’s another Kenny— The Minor’s” understood. Alida, she’s another maid. Who charms the Senior boys; She and all the rest of the girls Are always making noise. Here’s Gertrude and Florentine We’ll put them side by side, Their value to the Senior Class, Has been too great to hide. And Phyllis—you know Phyllis— So silent, calm, and meek. And Dot, the dark-eyed central, Has Number Please,” to speak Here’s Westy”—wooly Westy— With a cowboy turn of mind, Making up a long procession Through the world to climb and wind. Page Thirty-One
