This being a new experience, naturally we were bewildered and confused, but soon we swung into the routine without shaking knees. For producer and backer we had Miss Brock, and the whole class chose Stanley Bujnowski, our director; Jesse Wilder, assistant; Beatrice Schrader, secretary; and Geraldine Williams, treasurer. General Science, Practical Mathematics, Social Problems, English and Shop Work all fitted perfectly together to form an adequate background and setting in our first picture. Since most of us had made a mental contract to complete four pictures while on this lot, sixty-one of us came back cheerfully the next September to star in another picture, this one being called "Sophomore Year." Because of the popularity our first successful picture had brought us, we were gratefully blessed with two producers, Miss Brock and Mr. Larson. Mr. Larson, however, became more interested in flying airplanes and we sorrowfully saw him leave. Soon Mr. Berquist appeared upon the scene to fill his shoes, which he did competently. In filming this picture, the cast chose Jesse Wilder, director; Harry Tighe, assistant; and Harold Knickerbocker, secretary-treasurer. While making this picture we experienced contacts with Algebra, World History, Home Economics, Shop Work, English II, and Latin I. With two successful performances behind us, forty-eight performers came back in 1941 to film one of the most important pictures in our career, "Junior Year." While making this picture we really worked to prepare a Prom for the Seniors. We paid our dues; sold candy, pop, and ice cream at the football and basketball games; sold basketball schedule pencils; sponsored a movie; sponsored a dance; and had a Junior Play entitled "Comin' Thru The Rye." To assist us with our task we again had Miss Brock and Mr. Berquist. Jesse Wilder, Richard Kinneman, Lorraine Marlaire, and Josephine Tomaszewski took over the directing and supervising.
