One of the most enjoyable plays of the sea- son was Girl Shy , depicting the girl troubles of two boys. It took place in a college town at commencement time. The plot was complicated and extremely humorous, keeping the audience in an uproar most of the time. The character parts were very well portrayed by Dorothy Ful- ler, Helene Kern, Paul Slosser, John Deatrick, William May, and Kirk Krutsch. Helen Mayer, Phil Seither, Mary Kirtley, and George Dick were the collegiate young people who got in and out of trouble in such novel and va- ried ways. The play was given to raise money for the Athletic Associa- tion and was so popular that it will be repeated next week for the benefit of those who desire an evening of enjoyment and pleasure. FOOTBALL BOYS AND FATHERS HONORED December 8 . . . Last night for the last time this season the football boys played on a foot- ball field. But this last game was not one of rough and tough plays, it was only the football boys and their fathers having an immensely good time at the an- nual banquet given by the Par- ent Teachers' Association. The white covered tables with blue ten-yard lines and blue goal posts truly gave forth a football atmosphere. The ball was not even missing, for in the center of the main table was the foot- ball used in the last game of the perfect season. During the course of the evening it was pre- sented to Coach H. K. Treece by the honorary Captain, Bill Bleeks. The history of football in the early 1860's was portrayed by Professor McCullough in the main speech of the evening. After this, Coach Treece award- ed D's to twenty-one players and two managers. Music was furnished by Hadley's orchestra. A double quartet of football fel- lows sang Those Pals of Ours . Superintendent Lindemuth effi- ciently and cleverly served as toastmaster. After the banquet all the boys were guests of the Valentine Theater. ECK WINS CONTEST December 14 . . . The Junior Class challenged the Seniors to a spelling match. Each pupil in these classes was given a list of the words he would be expected to know. The meeting was held in the community room where a gay holiday mood prevailed. The Juniors won the contest with Mary Catherine Eck in first place. Helene Kern, a Senior came in a close second. PARENTS SPONSOR INFORMAL DANCES Several informal dances were given after the football and bas- ketball games this year. Spon- sored by parents, these affairs were extremely popular with the younger generation. After the Napoleon game even the oppo- nents turned out for the dance. Don Gahris' orchestra furnished the pep and rhythm for the af- fairs. LIONS ENTERTAIN D. H. S. BULLDOGS December 13 .... Both Li-cns and Bulldogs sat down at the same table last night. The affair was a banquet given for the football fellows by the Lions' Club. Mr. L. C. Adams, a Lion, acted as toastmaster. Another Lion, Mr. Claud Winn, gave the history of the Defiance football team since its beginning in 1900, in the main address of the even- mg. Footballs, almost regular size, with each boy's name on, marked each place at the table. Every Bulldog was presented with a small football of silver with D. H. S.-1933 engraved on it. Marjorie Bansen was at the pi- ano and Georgia Maschler sang during the dinner hour. CHAPEL PROGRAMS ARE VARIED April 13 . . . The types of cha- pel this year were more varied than ever before. Several minis- ters of Dehance gave talks on ideals and sportsmanship. The birthdays of famous persons were usually celebrated with a talk and appropriate music. Mr. Damron, a connoisseur gave an unusual and educational talk on pottery, November 9. On March 13, Miss Kathryn Egan presented a novel program on the harp. It included both popular and classical music to which she sang with the accom- paniment of her harp. On January 29, Mr. Clarence Burgderfer, an impersonater and noted story teller, imitated all sorts and kinds of things much to the enjoyment of the audience. The Glee Clubs, Orchestra, Band, and Mixed Chorus each entertained the student body for a half hour or more. The Na- poleon Band gave a concert in our auditorium in exchange for our Mixed Chorus singing in Na- poileon. G. A. A. HOLDS FIRST BANQUET April 10 .... With soft green and gold lights above and yel- low tapers amid spring flowers below, the G. A. A. Council spon- sored its first annual banquet last night to which the council, alumni of all past years, the teachers, the G. A. A. members, and the council for next year were guests. Margaret Coressel, Nice-President of G. A. A., was a clever toastmistress. The pro- gram cpened with a welcome by Marcelia Vance who installed the next year's cabinet by pre- senting each with a corsage of sweet peas. Toasts were given by Helene Kern, Helen Mayer, Gertrude Kissner, first G. A. A. president, Eleanor Hamilton, and Miss Draper, G. A. A. spon- sor. The latter was presented with a gift which tried to sym- bolize what her leadership means to G. A. A. Page 54 INDOOR CIRCUS DELIGHTS CROWD November 17 . . . And did you sec those hula-hula dancers? Good, weren't they? Naw, I don't want to go in there, let's go over and see the gym exhi- bition. I hear it's swell. These and other remarks could be heard at the Indoor Circus last Friday night in the Community ltoom and the Gymnasium. Everybody there Qand there were plentyj thought the shows were the best thing yet. The featuring side shows were the hula-hula, wild woman from Cornee. the giant, the strong- man, the menagerie, the fortune teller, and the Siamese twins. The boys and girls tumbling ex- hibitions and the farce basket- ball game drew a very large crowd in the Gymasium. The large crowd and interest shown by everybody was truly surprising. The sawdust, the jabbering and ballyhoo of the barkers, the smell of popcorn and hot-dogs, the bright lights and the canvas curtains all went in the atmosphere of a real cir- cus. Fathers brought their sons and daughters brought their mothers and as the old saying gaes, A good time was had by a . JUNIOR PLAY - MYSTERY THRILLER May 5 . . . Creepy noises, eerie lights, women's screams, and clutching claws that snatched unsuspecting characters off the stage right before your very eyes were a few of the thrills experienced last night at the Junior play, Tiger House. The action revolved around an isolated country estate called Mystery Manor because of its alleged hauntings. Erma Low- ric, fGrazia Grantj, a young shop girl, had inherited the es' tate from her eccentric Aunt Sylvia who was said to have been killed by a tiger which haunted the house. Aunt Sylvia had stolen the necklace cf an African Tiger cult and the cult had sent Yami, fllonald Bilkeyj, the high priest, to retrieve the jewels. Erma's cousins, Arthur Hale fPhil 'Seitherl and Oswald Kearns fPaul Slosserj, her Aunt Sophia fJulia Rexl, and Peggy Van Ess, fGeorgia Masch- lerl, a former friend, were all house guests when things begin Paqe 55 to happen. Erma had her fian- cee, fBill Mayl, a detective, come to solve the mystery. He discovers the murderer with the help of the Mystery Woman, fRosemary Mansfieldj, who is the wife of the Tiger, who turned out to be Arthur Hale. Others who turned in splendid performances and added greatly to the comedy and mystery parts were Freda Graham as the housekeeper and August Fipp, another sinister character who poses as an animal trainer. The performance was highly successful and entirely satisfac- tory in every way. SENIORS SELECT SHIRT SLEEVES This year, the Senior Class se- lected a true domestic comedy, which centers around the Rand family. It consists of Franklin lReeder Hutchinsonl, and Julia Rand fMary Kirtleyj, and their four children, Donald fKirk Krutschl, Diana fMargaret Peasleej, Theodore fGeorge Dickl, and Esther tLois Bid- lackl. The family has never realized what economy and team work mean until the bank fails and they are brought face to face with poverty. To add to their troubles, Donald, thc so- cial rebel, marries Margie Scan- lon fBetty Wiseleyl , the daugh- ter of a notorious lawbreaker. Against overwhelming odds, Margie turns the tide against Richard Crandall fLeonard Rauthl, a suave politician who would take advantage of the Rand misfortune. However, the family fortune is on firm ground at the close of the play and all members are happy and satisfied. Fine support is given to the principle characters by Kitty fDorothy Fullerl, her fiance, Elmer fRobert Lindemuthl, and Norman lBart Elliottl. Others who turn in good characteriza- tions are Edward Jacoby, Mar- tha Cummins, Gaynelle Whitney, Marcelia Vance, Gertrude Caris, Clarence Holley and Joseph Sy- rnonds. April 19 . . Yesterday the Sen- iors selected Rev. F. X. Gosser to deliver their Baccalaureate Sermon. At the same time they chose the Ophelia Rose as the class flower and their motto: Make you the world a bit more beautiful and better because you have been in it. Paul V. Bar- ratt was chosen to deliver the Commencement address. F INLEY DIRECTS SCHOOL PLAY Under the supervision of Miss Margaret Finley, D. H. S. had a very entertaining year in dra- matic art. Miss Finley is not new at this game. During her first two col- lege years, spent at Western College for Women, she was a member. of a team of entertain- ers, giving programs at various high schools. During the follow- ing two years, spent at Ohio Wesleyan, she belonged to His- trionic Club and Theta Alpha Phi, an honorary dramatic fra- ternity. She had stellar parts in a number of plays, one of which was Katherine, in Taming of the Shrew. At Defiance High School, she has successfully directed Once There was a Princess, Girl Shy, Tiger House , and is at present working with the Seniors on their play Shirt Sleeves. JUNIORS, SENIORS ENJOY PARTY May 25 . . . Amid the cool shade and quiet of a spring garden, the Juniors and Seniors were served a dessert last night at the conclusion of a theatre party at the Valentine. Several toasts were given by various members of each class. The mixed quar- tet sang and special tap dances were given. The tradition of the Junior- Senior banquet was dispensed with this year by a vote of the Junior class. The affair was greatly enjoyed by all and every- one seemed pleased that a change was made.
