THE HARTIAN, 1931 •+ Resume for Year 1930-31 LUNCHEON Early in September the County Normal class enjoyed a get-acquainted luncheon, given by Miss Mary Lehman, critic teacher, in the tourist camp of John Gurney’s park. Mrs. Walker, Mr. Shinn, Mrs. LeDuc, Miss Lehman and Miss Hetzman also attended the luncheon. By one o’clock we were no longer strangers. ROAST AT SILVER LAKE October the eighth, Oceana County Normal journeyed to the land of sand dunes for recreation. After a roast, we explored the sand dunes by the light of the moon and spent awhile sitting on top of the world singing. As it grew late we descended, told stories by the fire light and later returned to Hart. HALLOWE’EN PARTY The Oceana County Normal entertained the Critic Room October the thirty-first, with a Hallowe’en Party given in the Kindergarten room. Prizes were awarded to the best costumes and winners of games and contests. Light refreshments were served at five o’clock and the party adjourned, everyone having a very good time. OCEANA COUNTY NORMAL PLAY The Oceana County Normal class of ’31, finding it necessary to raise funds for the annual trip to the County Normal Convention, decided to put on a play. Other classes had sold candy, popcorn, etc. to earn money so we accordingly selected a comedy-drama, “What Price Ancestors?” and in the short three weeks that we were allowed to practice, by dint of much midnight oil and perspiration, we worked up a very presentable performance. We advertised heavily and canvassed the town for tickets and on the big night finally realized some eighty dollars profit. The play went over well, all of the actors did good work, the following especially meriting praise. Leo James, tho’ playing a despicable part, was surely the star and his plaintive whimpering delighted the house. His action was superlative. McCarty was the autocratic tho’ kind-hearted old paternal parent. His dominating spirit was relieved by his ready sense of humor. His affectionate wife, Miss North, was his staunch advisor and her wise decisions helped to bring the Evans family out of apparent chaos. Russel Robbins, the son, and “Peggy” Schaner, the daughter, showed remarkable dramatic ability as did lx uise Kokx, the double-role crook. VALENTINE TEA A Valentine Tea was given February eleventh to the mothers of the Critic room children. The reception committee. Ernest McCarty, Corrine Downing, Alta Wright, and Beulah Walburn, received the guests. Refreshments consisting of sandwiches, cakes, candies and tea were served. Mr. Shinn, Mrs. LeDuc, Miss I ehman and Miss Hetzman were among the guests. A good time was enjoyed by all. THE TRIP TO KAI AMAZOO On March the fifth, we went to Kalamazoo to the annual State Teachers Convention. We left here Thursday morning in four autos, stopping in Grand Rapids for dinner and arrived in Kala-mazoo early in the afternoon. We drove around a bit and then went to our hotel where all had very good rooms and spent the rest of the afternoon looking around the hotel. We went out to the college for an evening banquet, following which we were entertained by speakers and playlets put on by the normal schools. The program was over at eleven and we went back to our hotel to spend the night. The next morning we ate breakfast at the New Burdick hotel. After breakfast we went out to the college to a series of lectures. We were given a banquet at noon and in the afternoon we visited the State Hospital. We found this very interesting and educational. We went back to our hotel and left at about four o’clock. We stopped in Grand Rapids for supper and a show and came on home afterwards, arriving here before midnight. Page Twenty
