THE LORE PRINCESS BONNIE SENIOR CLASS PLAY The Senior Class presented the famous comic opera, Princess Bonnie, on the evenings of April 29th and 30th, to larger audiences than ever before witnessed an annual class play. Bonnie fvesta Steiningerl, becomes acquainted with a handsome young American, Roy Sterling fKenneth l-lessl, who falls in love with her. Shrimps, the town jack-of-all-trades, and the chief comedian fl-larry Lynnj, is in love with Kitty Clover, the Village vamp fKathleen Snookl, who spurns his love. Count Falsetti, a Spanish nobleman fwilliam Hartleyj, makes a rather forc- ible acquaintance with Shrimps. Count Falsetti had been betrothed to Bonnie in her childhood, and Admiral Pomposo, her childhood guardian flVliles Co- henj, forces her to return to Spain with him and Falsetti. Kitty goes to Spain with Bonnie, and her American friends, Roy, Shrimps and Captain Tarpaulin, follow them to Spain in disguise. Kitty promises to marry Shrimps if he stops the proposed wedding. The Americans in disguise are discovered and during the fight which en- sues, Falsetti is found to be a conspirator against the King. Pomposo immedi- ately has him arrested and gives as a reward his niece, the Princess Bonnabell- avita, to Roy, and Shrimps gets Kitty. And, of course, all's well that ends well. Much comedy was furnished by Salvadore, Pomposo's bodyguard fwalter Spanglerl, and credit is also due Dona Pomposo, wife of the Admiral flVlabel Boyerj and Miss Dorine Allison, the accompanist.

As Seniors we were the first class as a whole to gain l00 per cent. in sub- scriptions for the Lore. Then, too, we secured the Lore Banner for the best article in the Easter issue. ln class and varsity athletic activities we supplied the majority of the best athletes. ln the lnter-class Basketball series we greatly surprised and humiliated the Juniors by winning the championship, which again gave us the honor of having our name engraved on the cup. I will not state that score as a tribute to their dead heroes. But not only did we supply the majority of best athletes during our career, but also six of the eight members of the debating team. Their loss will be deeply felt next year. Then came our class play, in which every member of the class took part This comic opera was a huge success. The dramatic talent was quite obvious and it reflected much honor on us. However, the event which gave us the realization of our dreams was the Washington trip. lt will be remembered when we think of the enjoyable times we've had together in the days of Auld Lang Sync. This closed our career in L. H. S., and we have reached the threshold of our young lives. It is with mixed feelings of gladness and regret that we look across the more or less tragic events that mark and span the years through which we have passed in the climb to the exalted position. But we cannot linger too long on these past experiences that are still green in our memories. The beckoning future lies but a step beyond and we must harken to her silent, but emphatic demands. She is calling some of us to go out into the world and take up our tasksg others to go on in preparation for a larger and better life of service. Our class is the class of classes and will remain honest, upright, loyal, to their Alma Mater. We have striven to make the most of our High School career and we hope the classes following l924 will try to emulate us in all respects. TEN
