T!1.e.-KA LE N DS- M c .,tJev9sl939 1 l l l l The Kalends Staff This year The Kafencfs staff, in spite of hard work, did not quite attain the goal it wished for. Instead of winning a bigger prize in the Columbia Scholastic Press Association Contest we dropped back a peg and received second place. But in spite of this and of the fact that we were handicapped in a number of ways, we feel that in some ways we have had a successful year. We have tried hard to publish a maga- zine interesting to our readers and we feel that some of them have enjoyed it. We are grateful to all those who have con- tributed to The Kalencfr in any way. We par- ticularly express our appreciation to Miss Tubbs and Miss Slade for their advice and cooperation. Many members of the staff have done excellent work in the different departments bringing our magazine new life and interest. Ten members of the staff are graduating this june. They have served faithfully and The Kalenrfs staff is going to miss them and their good work, Marjorie Russellfs news articles and Isabelle I-linckley's and Catharine Banuafs liter- ary work have often appeared. Virginia Bouton and Ruth Fraser have done good work in the exchange and alumni departments. james Colgan has faithfully written up all of the boys' games and Eva Clark has made some fine cuts for the front and inside. Robert Irish,s column and jokes in the humor department have furnished us with many a good laugh, and what would we ever have done without William Humphries to manage our financial affairs and a thousand and one other things? Ruth Burgin has won many commendations for her editorials. Next year's staff with Eleanor Leal as editor will begin their duties in September. A success- ful year to them! E241

June, 1936 g g g The KALENDS Dramatics Orchids to you, Miss Phillips! You've done it again by pulling D. A. through one of the most successful years of dramatics the school has ever known. Topping the list of the dramatic programs for this year was the three-act play. Yes, there it was, staring us squarely in the face and fairly howling to be put into action. After many decisions and much changing of mind, we started work on The Wind in the South, a play whose theme was based on race prejudice. It was given in the school auditorium on November 21 and 22. The cast was as follows: Anna Werner Karl Werner Elsie Werner Mrs. Seckler Mrs. Wirklen Pietro - - - - Maria - - - john Werner Janet Thompson Stuart Cavan Pearl Geselle - Eleanor Leal Edith Brady Walter Ward - Edyth Ward George Ganyo Shortly after the play, Miss Krusa and Miss Dora Seckler ----- Mildred Whitaker Production Staff: Stage Manager - - - Raymond Secord Business Manager ------ Wilma Page Property Manager ------ Doris Austin Costume - - Verna McFarland, Audrey DeSilva Technician ----- William Humphries Phillips put on a minstrel show. It was a very entertaining and enjoyable program. Then, before we knew what was happening, time swooped by, picking up prize speaking and parking it at our door. At last, the participants chosen were as fol- lows: Eleanor Leal- Along a Shady Road by Ellen Bishop. Stuart Cavan- Madam Xi' by W. Mc- Naughty. Edyth Ward- The Monkey,s Paw by W. W. Jacobs. Raymond Gitchell- On Unanswering Letters by Christopher Morley. L25 Walter Ward- After He Was Dead by Mel- ville Davison Post. Ellen Geselle- A Telephone Call by Dorothy Parker. Robert Hoyt- The Unknown by Booth Tark- ington. Katharine Smith- China Blue Eyes by Alma P. Foss. Ted Evenden-'1The Bath Hour by Noble May. Mildred Whitaker- Including Wings by Enid Griflis. After a very trying half hour on the night of February 20, came the decision. First prizes went to Edyth and Walter Ward. Second prizes went to Ted Evenden and Stuart Cavan fa tiej and Katharine Smith. Then came the semi-finals held in Delhi, April 3. Lo and behold, these two determined young Wards walked off with first places, right under the very noses of Walton, Kellogg and Downs- ville High Schools. As the brother and sister faced an audience in Hobart the night of the finals, our hopes began to Hee and our doubts began to rise. It seemed almost impossible that they could both win in the finals. But they came through like thoroughbreds for the honor of the alma-mater. Then, borne on the wings of time came the one act plays. This year it was decided to have two plays instead of three. In place of a third one Miss Slade and her puppet class gave a puppet show, The Legend of the Willow Plate. The first play, Jon by Dorothy Savage, was a tragedy.
