HROUGH all the twenty-five years of Lindblom's life, outstanding among those of all the high schools of Chicago have been her stage productions including dramas, operettas and special assemblies. Each type of presentation played a definite role, in training, in relaxation, in enjoyment. Under the coaching of Miss Mary Courtenay, Lindblom's first dramatic coach, and Miss Grace Kiner and Miss Margaret Dixon who fol- lowed her, many beautiful and dramatic plays were produced. Among the outstanding dramas offered to Lindblom audiences were the following: The Fortune Hunters ....................., 1921 If I Were King ......................,......... 1926 Held by the Enemy ,........ ....... 1 921 Seven Keys to Baldpate .......... ....... 1 930 Grumpy ....,................ ....... 1 923 Oflicer 666 ........................ .....v. 1 931 Seventeen .......................... ....... 1 924 Captain Applejack .......................... 1933 Merchant of Venice ........................ 1925 Merton of the Movies .,.................... 1936 The operettas have been given under the direction of Mr. William Mason, Miss Louise Rowlands, Mr. David Nyvall, and Mrs. Hannah Rosenthal. Beautifully presented, musically .and dramatically correct, they have been outstanding in Lindblom's list of special events. Some of the highlights among our operettas have been: Princess Chrysanthemum ................ 1920 Mikado .....,...................... 1931 and 1939 Robin Hood ...........,........ 1922 and 1928 H.M.S.

Some of the most impressive assemblies took the form of pageants or tableaus. Some- times students have been askedfto pay a small admission charge to defray the expenses of the assembly, more often the presentation was free. Some of the best-known guests to appear before Lindblom audiences were: Dr. Charles Gilkey Mina Hager Captain Macmillan Preston Bradley Lorado Taft Carl Sandburg Rudolph Ganz Carveth Wells Coach Robert Zuppke Mayor Edward Kelly Coach Amos Alonzo Stagg Mr. james McCahey Edwin Markham Dudley Craft Watson john Phillip Sousa Otherloutstanding assemblies were: Tatterman's Marionettes Armistice assembly, Resurrection of the Kalamazoo Glee Club Unknown Soldier Elmore Organ Presentation Among our most famous pageants were: The Young King Joan of Arc The Holy Grail In all of the dramas, operettas, and assemblies, Mr. Schmitt with his stage crew has furnished beautiful settings and Mrs. Knehans with her costume design class has produced charming, lovely, and authentic costumes.
