CLASS PARTIES For various economic reasons and over-crowded conditions, class parties have been discontinued during the last few years. As we look back, we believe that this year has been an eventful one. Largely throu 1'l1 the efforts of tl1e Junior Class last ear the various classes are sa . is 1 now allowed to hold class parties under the supervision of the Student Council. The classes have taken advantage of this and have sponsored gatherings that were extremely successful. rw X ' 'N ' ' ' lhe benior, b0IJllOlI10I'C, and Freshman classes held their parties in the auditorium under supervision of class advisers together with the council. Their co-operation with the classes did much to make a party a success. All these affairs were well attended. JULIA TRYTKO '35 i GLEE CLUB gThe reorganized orchestra and glee club, under the direction of Mr. Everett Sittard, has progressed very rapidly for the past year. Both clubs have given their services at various activities which we have enjoyed immensely. Officers of the glee club were elected at the beginning of the year as follows: President, Omer Lapradeg Vice-President, lVarren Lux, Treasurer, Betty Belansky, Secretary, Adeline Slizg Librarians, Ruth Lux, Clara Mackos, Adele Laprade. The Glcc Club participated in the Kiwanis Festival at West Springfield with their director, Mr. Sittard and their chaperone, Miss Sophie Baranowski. ADELINE SLIZ '35 forty

'tThe smoothness of the entire performance showed not only the ability of each member of the cast but also reflected great credit upon the coaches, Miss Alice Alvord and Principal Howell K. Thayer. The cast went merrily on its not always unthwarted way to get the judge elected, the domestic difficulties settled and the young lovers united. The antics of Robert Ewing as Andy, the young son of the household, did more for the part than mere words could do, and won the audience to his side. The efficiency of the sensible Mrs. Hardy, the judge's wife, played by Emily Boehm, and the neatness and industriousness of the maiden aunt, played by Dorothy Mengel, were portrayed with the realistic faithfulness which brought to the mind their prototypes. The heart interest was furnished by Adele Laprade as Marion Hardy and Paul Meyer as Wayne Trenton, III. Miss Laprade was charming as the capable exponent of wo1nen's rights who had to choose ,between her heart and a career, while Mr. Meyer played his part with understanding and at times maturely. Dorothy Ewing and Helen Wroblewski were excellent in their roles as the married daughters come home to mother when things went wrong, and sustained their characterizations through- out the performance. Francis Hadro portrayed the role of the harassed judge in a manner which aroused sympathy for his plight. Anthony Lis as the grand- father had little to say, but his effacement indicated at all times his unimportant position in the household. Peter Kokoszyna in the part of Stubbins, the politician, brought gusto to the role. The singing of the glee club and the playing of the high school orchestra under the direction of Mr. Everett H. Sittard, director of music in the public schools, added to the enjoyment of the evening. ONE-ACT PLAY Easthampton again entered the annual one-act play tournament, and had as opponents West Springfield and South Hadley Falls. This contest was sponsored, as in previous years, by the Valley Wheel League. The preliminaries of this section, in which the aforementioned schools participated, were held in the audi- torium of the West Springfield High School. Although all three schools performed in a manner well worthy of merit, West Springfield High was adjudged the winner. It is the hope of Easthampton High School students, sometime in the future, to hold the contest in and on familiar ground as it has alweys been their lot to act on strange stages with strange surroundings. The play presented by Easthampton High School was entitled, The Grandmother Man , a one-act farce by Lida Larrimore. The cast was as follows: Phillipe Vanden- The Grandmother Man ,....,.,.....,,,..
