Friday, May 2,1947 Hi News Page Five Juniors Have Played Leading Role In Goldmasquers Group In School By Janie Bartlette Of the many activities in which the Juniors have taken part, some of their most outstanding work has been done in dramatics.

From the class of ’48 come two of the Goldmasquers officers-Don- ald Pike, vice-president; and Lil lian .Overman, secsretary.

His next per formance was that of the come dian, Galafran, in “Cinderella.” He played the part of Ysidro, an Indian, in “Ramona”; Hillel, a Roman soldier, in “The Bethlehem Road;” the Rat, in “Seventh Heaven;” and is appearing as Si mon Stimson, a drunk, in “Our Town.” Donald has also taken part on a number of radio prO' grams, including one network show.

Davis’i chief work, however, in the way of dramatics, has been in radio broadcasting. D. J. Rose whp, like Davis, has done most of his work in radio, made his stage debut as the, Prince in “Cinderella.” He also By Mary Olive Grady The following people and songs are matched with loving care. Of course, these may not match at the time you read this. “Night and Day”—^Ruth S. and Tracy (for your information, he’s from Washington) “You’ll Always Be The One I Love”—D. J. and Mary Ann “Oh, But I Do”—Babs H. and Frank B. “Huggin’ and Chalkin’ ”—Hen ry M. and Eleanor B. Do You Love Me?”—Bobby and Eunice “Without You”—Elwina and Tank” “So Round, So Firm, etc.”— Frankie S.

The Year In Retrospect had a minor role in “Janie.” .Josephine Jackson and Anna Frank Strosnider have both ap peared on the stage, “Jo” as Hor- tense Bennington in “Janie,” and “Frankie” as the step-mother in “Cinderella,” but their outstanding work has b.een in radio. Frankie gave an excellent performance in the girl lead of “This Obscene Pomp;” Jo is especially good in “Young America.” Both girls were highly complimented by Bet ty Smith, well-known author, who stated that, and would like to see them study in New York because she thought that they had a great future in radio. Another Junior in Goldmasqu ers who deserves mention is Jane Parker, who won first place in Chapel Hill last year with her original play,“Mountain Laurel.” There are ,of course, quite a few other Juniors who have had speaking parts in plays, walked across the stage, taken part in mob scenes. And there are Ju niors who have made it possible for plays to go on by their work backstage: lights, sound, make-up, properties, prompters, student di rectors, etc. Also, essential in play production, are the house managers, box office workers, those who put out posters and flutter bills, and especially, tick et salesmen. I wish it were possible to men tion each, of these people, but as it is not, I will mention only those Junior backstage workers who have served on the most produc tions: Ruth Shaver, student di rector; Lou York and Virginia Keen, make-up; Ray Hardy, stage manager; lighting and sound, John Fields, Bobby Hill, Leonard Pope, Miller Eason, and Charlie Darden. Bobby and Charlie have also been in plays and radio pro grams. Members of the Junior Class have contributed much to the suc- By Marilyn Tolochko I sit here during a spare mo ment, thinking. Yes, strangely enough, I have a spare moment, and yes, even stranger, I am thinking. And oddly enough. I’m thinking back over this year, and some of the things we’ve done as Junior^, and the work and fun that has gone along with our doing them. We started off the year wil^ a new • set of officers, and they’ve done a swell job as the leaders of our class. First thing I recall us doing was the sponsoring of the mag^ine drive. Remember that? We put a lot of work into that, but it brought good results. I guess we really got to be professional sales men during the drive. I don’t know of many people whose houses were passed by; in fact, many of the homes were probably visited more than once. During the year we’ve tried to do our full share in the various drives and programs held in school, and we’ve endeavored to cooperate with the other classes. For the last couple of months, most of our attention has been focused on the Junior play and the Junior-Senior. The banquet is to be given in another week. The play’s tonight, and just be tween you and me, I’m scared stiff.' We’re doing our best to make both of these affairs a suc cess. Some people who have nev er been in plays think they’re nothing but work, but wouldn’t they be surprised if they knew about all the fun we have, too?! As for me, I wouldn’t have miss ed it for the world. Our Junior year is drawing to a close. Next year we’ll be Se niors, and then we’ll be out of high school. Will you be glad? Will I? I don’t know. We have had good times, haven’t we? Junior Superlatives By Helen Nelson There is beauty in the evening twilight. In the valley that bridges day to night.

A Gold masquer learns to work with his fellow students in the accomplish ment of a task,, no matter how small and unimportant it may seem, and to live a more fruitful life by observing the rules of clean living, self-discipline, hon esty, consideration of others, good sportsmanship, and good behavior.

By Earline Griffin How do I love thee— Let me count the ways— 1 for your money 2 for the shows (you take me to see when I’m not with other beaus.) 3 for the flowers you sent me for the dance, 4 for the bracelet you brought to me by chaAce, 5 for the convertible you drive about town, 6 for the sharp clothes that you w'fear around, 7 for the sodas at the Opera .Shoppe, Now I guess it’s about time to stop.
