p szvarrmv On the afternoon and evening of May l5, the H9y' class presented their humorous comedy, NSeventeen,U written by Booth Tarkington. In brief, the story is of Willie Baxter, a seventeen year old, who thinks he is very far advanced for his years. He is introduced to Lola Pratt, a very silly young lady who talks baby talk, and is deeply impressed by her. He discovers an old dress suit that belonged to his father, and secretly puts it on each evening and pays her calls. He feels that the dress suit gives him a greater advantage over the other boys, Jane, his impudent little sister, discovers his dark secret, and at once notifies her mother. His dress suit is taken away in order that he may not pay such frequent visits. Lola has to leave for home, and so a fare-well par- ty is given in her honor. Of course Willie receives an invitation, but feels that he is unable to attend without a dress suit, which his father will not let him lave. He makes a last desperate attempt to pawn various articles in order to raise enough money to purchase a secondfhand dress suit that was formerly owned.by an Italian waiter now serving a term in jail, Again Jane finds out and tells her mother, who stops Willie frmn earning any more money. She lets him wear his father's dress suit for the party, but he is late, and all of Lola's dances are taken. Lola pays lit- tle attention to him, and the party seems to be a failure. As the curtain falls, Willie decides to go to college and forget all about Lola. The cast for the two presentations of the play were: Characters- Mr. Baxter. .

THE SNAP CLUB The Snap Club which originated at the beginning of this term, is for the ninth grade girls who are interested in cameras, and for those who wish to learn how to make different types of pictures. We are working for a prize by making a portfolio of our own snaps, which will be the record of many pleasant days. ' The first type of pictures we took were silhouettes of members of our club and a number of the teachers. These were taken by darkening a room under the stage, and placing a white sheet over a door with a hundredrfif- ty-watt lamp behind it. We set the camera about three feet from the sub- ject. The lights were then turned out and the shutter of the camera was opened. The lights were switched on for two seconds. The lights were a- gain put out and the shutter was closed. Thus our silhouette was completed We also helped take the graduation pictures. A white background was used as a reflector, and two powerful lights were put on each side of our subject to produce the right effect. We got the best results by taking one-fifth of a second snaps. Another very interesting and pleasant event was our trip to San Fran- cisco. We went to the Presidio and then to Half Moon Bay where we took many interesting pictures of the coast, cliffs, waves, etc. The leader of this group is Miss Glover who is also very interested in the taking of pictures. All members enjoy working under her leadership Genevieve Moyer, Selma Krinkel H9y' ,X 1' . ,Gp N,-, eg U 2 g Q Tumatme CLUB This term the Girls' Tumbling Club, has many new pupils. When new members enter, they must first learn to do a few easy stunts, such as the forward roll, backward roll, and the headstand. Later they do the more difficult stunts. . We give programs many times and have pictures taken of our stunts. You who want to limber up, why not join the Tumbling Club and have a lot of fun? Mrs. Murphy is in charge, and we meet every Monday, the eighth period in the gym. ' G-race Medes H8z , Thelma Olsen L9y'
