The Class of ’33 scored a huge success in their presentation of Louisa May Alcott’s “Little Women” on May 16 and 17. When the curtains parted to the strains of “Auld Lang Syne,” one saw a picture of beauty and charm of a bygone day. The stage suggested the true atmosphere of the living room of Orchard House. The great window through which one caught a glimpse of the snowy Massachusetts hills, the friendly hearth, the bookcases housing the master’s treasures, and the graceful old table and chairs all made a setting supreme. The stage for the last act, taking place in the orchard at Plumfield, Aunt March’s old home, was made entrancing by flowers decked about a garden seat amidst the play of colored lights. The costumes were beautiful and all in keeping with the styles of 1863. The wide flowing skirts had a charm all their own. The bonnet worn by Aunt March danced up¬ on her head as she vented her apparent wrath upon John Brooke. The music, tunes of Civil War time, was furnished by the high school ensemble, di¬ rected by Mr. Oakland. The play was under the direction of Charles E. Shank, and director, cast, and committees can be highly complimented on such a splendid production. Wendell Simpson . Frances King .. Helen Musser Virgene Klopfenstein . Helen Wert .

' THE K E Y»—m CLASS HISTORY A period of preliminary training comes before any successful drama. That of the class of 1933 began in 1921, when fifteen eager-faced youngsters climbed the steps of Angola public school for the first time. They were Katheryn Coe, Osean Dick, Warren Care, Ettafred Kankamp, Marjorie Golden, Robert Allion, Wendell Simpson, Margaret Yoder, Lowell Hall, Helen Musser, Margaret Miller, Helen Wert, Mona Barnes, Joseph Kolb, and Laurence Slick. Although the training seemed severe at times, it was relieved by the good times that followed in the next eight years. In our second year Osean Dick left us and Viola Jackson and Hazel Shoup joined our ranks. During our fifth year Florence Brown and Faye Diehl were enrolled. Osean Dick and Lillian Horn joined us in our sixth year. In our seventh year Faye Diehl, War¬ ren Care, Osean Dick, and Lillian Horn left us. Our new members were Frances King and Thomas Devine. Emma Louise Fast and John Pence became members in our eighth year. In the memorable year of 1929 the cur¬ tains rose on the drama of the high school life of this class. The new actors who join¬ ed us were Beatrice Hollinger, Warren Care, Rowena Castner, Virgene Klopfen- stein, Lillian Horn, Bruce Diehl, Wendell VanWagner, and Faye Diehl. During the first act, the cast vainly tried to wade through the cues for their entrances on the programs, distributed in the guise of schedules. Much kindness and considera¬ tion was sho wn by our director, Mr. Estrich, in overlooking faults of the amateur play and in giving the bewildered actors needed advice. From the start the sophomores sought to give us training for a more pro¬ fessional production, so they conducted the freshman initiation. Once we were in the swing of it, the first act moved swiftly, and the heroes had con¬ quered their foes before it seemed possible. The second act went smoothly as the stars had lost some of their fear of the stage of Angola High, and with newly acquired energy they initiated the freshmen. The new actresses were Edith Burch, Catherine Thobe, and Roberta Van Guilder. The curtains rose on our high school drama for the third time. A new heroine, Barbara Parsell, and two new heroes, Ralph Orwig and Richard Pilliod, appeared in the act. The outstanding scene was the banquet which the actors held in honor of the seniors. After a short intermission the last and greatest episode was presented on a beauti¬ ful new stage set, the new school building. Milton Garrison was the hero who entered our ranks. The cast conquered all obstacles, published the Key annual, and presented the class play, “Little Women.” As a final reward for their years of toil each will re¬ ceive his diploma at the climax—commence¬ ment. —Lillian Horn. ORCHESTRA WINS STATE HONORS The Angola High School orchestra, un¬ der the direction of Mr. Oakland, won first place in Class C schools enrolling 250 pupils or less, at the state contest held at LaPorte, May 5 and 6. A beautiful silver cup was the reward, along with the privilege of com¬ peting for honors in the national contest held at Elmhurst, Ill., June 2 and 3. Fourteen orchestras and twenty-eight bands took part in the giant festival at La¬ Porte. The other orchestras in Class C were from Lawrence township, Marion county, which was placed second, and Rockville and Winimac High Schools. The judges in the contest were George Dasch, director of the Evanston Symphony and the Cosmopolitan Symphony of Chica¬ go, Oscar Anderson, supervisor of instru¬ mental music in the Chicago schools, and Ralph Rush, supervisor of instrumental mu¬ sic in the Cleveland schools. Their com¬ ments upon the Angola orchestra were as follows: Mr. Dasch: Here is a conductor who is “going places” because he “knows.” He works with his music voices which results in excellent clarity for a Class C group. Mr. Rush: Fine orchestra in tone and outstanding direction. This organization says something musically. The brass work is smooth. Mr. Anderson: A very good performance, outstanding for Class C schools. Women are healthier than men and live longer, say medical authorities. You can’t deny paint is a good preserver against the elements. A Scotchman was once seen frying his bacon in Lux to keep it from shrinking.
