Junior Activities

On November 29-30 we presented our class play, “Our Hearts Were Young and Gay”. The first scene of this play opens on board a ship bound for Europe. Mr. and Mrs. Skinner are bidding their daughter, an only child, good by. Cornelia, the daughter has finally succeeded in getting her parent's permission to go alone to Europe with a girl friend, Emily Kimbrough. These two are then to meet Cornelia’s parents, who are going on another ship, to Europe. Like most parents, Mr. and Mrs. Skinner feel that Cornelia is not yet ready to take care of herself. This makes Cornelia more determined than ever to show her parents that she is mature enough to spend a summer without her parents.

After Cornelia’s parents have departed, the adventures really begin. Cornelia and Emily meet two very nice boys, Dick and Leo, who are studying to become doctors. Two romances begin to bud and everything looks bright—until the day they dock. Calamity pays a visit and Cornelia comes down with the measles. When the health inspector boards the ship, Emily and the Pre-Med students smuggle Cornelia ashore. Upon reaching Paris, Cornelia is to take lessons from a French actor and the two girls are to have a luncheon
