A senior class production is an even bigger deal when you're right up front where everyone can see your nerves play out in front of the audience.
This is a picture of my mother with several of her classmates in the 1935 McKinley High School senior class production called Tulip Time. I can't say that I am entirely clear on the connection between a chorus of these lovely young beauties all dressed up as sailors, baskets of tulips, and a windmill, but aren't they adorable?
Great picture & good match! Quite the costumes for a high school play. I wonder where they got them all?
ReplyDeleteYes, thanks! I wish I would have found the photo before my mom had passed. I would have asked her about the costumes and the theme, etal!
DeleteWhat a great picture for you to have!
ReplyDeleteThank you... I love this photo!
DeleteOh, I thought maybe they were doing South Pacific ha ha. I'm glad Sepia Saturday gave you a good excuse to pull out that picture for us.
ReplyDeleteMe, too! Thanks!
DeleteA great fun picture - for the students and the audience. It made me think of “South Pacific” as well.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Sue! Too bad they didn't have home movies back in 1935. That would have been a keeper, for sure. I would love to have seen the performance.
DeleteI imagine they not only stood in that position, but provided some singing, and maybe even some dance!
ReplyDeleteI imagine you are correct, Barbara! Oh, to be a member of the audience. What fun!!
DeleteI took one look at your mother's photo and began humming the sailors chorus from South Pacific. Now I can't get it out of my head because I don't know any Tulip Time songs! I bet they had fun dancing in those bell-bottom trousers.
ReplyDeleteLOL! Yes, I'm sure she had a blast at the time.
