Glen Davie While on the annual Washington trip, Betty Hopper, jean Orth, and Virginia Keller enter- ed a skit contest with other schools. Their reward for the presentation of Christopher Columbo was the second prize of five dollars. Last, but not least among the dramatic ac- tivities this year was the Prize Speaking Con- test. Miss Heid spent a great deal of time coaching Marjorie Glahn, Betty Hopper, Mary King, David Schamu, Marshall Robinson, and john Gehm. The contest, held at the school May 6, was highly entertaining and everyone participating did splendid work. Nevertheless, it was impossible for everyone to win, so the judges had to narrow their choice to Marjorie Glahn, who cleverly imitated Shirley Temple in f'The Littlest Rebel, and David Schamu, a naughty boy who didn't like to dress for com- pany, in Tommy Stearns Scrubs Up. These contestants then proceeded to the county contests, the first of which was held May Sth at Liverpool High School. This was for girls and such selections as 'fThe One On My Right and The Birthday Wish were given. Marian Zinsmeister from Fayetteville, who gave Sing Me To Sleep , won first prize while Dorothy Anderson, from North Syracuse took second with Anne of Green Gables . It is some consolation to us to know that our contestent was rated third. Onondaga County Prize Speaking Contest for Boys was held May 16th at East Syracuse High School, where such selections as Bobby Shaftoe' and The Americanization of Andre Francois appeared. Let us here note that our candidate did exceedingly well but, as we have previously said, H Everyone can't win. Char- les Rhyner, of Tully, captured first prize with In Memory of Shiloh and The White Hands of Telham , given by Raymond Tur- verey of Manlius took second. We wish to thank Miss Heid for her interest in every member of the Dramatic Club, and feel that the L. H. S. entertainments are be- coming more than amateur performances. We would also like to thank the kind public, who attend our performances, for their loyalty and cooperation. , .l.- Brush and IGGER and better things are being ac- complished by this club, since it has, for the first time, given a tea and exhibit, which was a success. Our other great accomplishment was a puppet show U jack and the Bean-stalk given during the spring exhibit. This netted a profit in patronage and money. The puppets were made and worked by the following mem- bers of the Art Club: jack ............... Geraldine Lindemayer Jack's Mother .... .... W orked by june Parks The Giant ............

Commercial News OOMS 202 and 203, the commercial centers of Liverpool High School, have been the scene of much activity during the past year. Early in March, Betty Pease, Mary Adams, and Margaret Ames began practising for the District Typing Contest. They were entered as the Typing Team and, as you know, were to win further honors. Carol Strong, Lillian Hafner, and Elmerinda Aureli were entered as the shorthand team. Rita Switts, Floyd Olds, Evelyn Evans, and Frank Bowman represented the Commercial Arithmetic De- partment. Well, on April 29 the district Commercial Contest was held at Liverpool. Why was it held at Liverpool? Because Mr. Beahan, our highly esteemed commercial teacher, was the contest manager. All of the teams did their best, although the typing team was the only one to come in well up in front. They were awarded second place, and consequently were eligible for the State Contest which is held annually at Syracuse University. Evelyn Evans and Virginia Barker were entered in the State Open Typing Event, having ob- tained the required speed of 60 words a min- ute. The Liverpool team was among the first ten tearns, but did not qualify for the awards. These typing students returned to Liverpool and they were heard to ejaculate, There'll come a day! For this coming year a com- mercial club is to be organized. The purpose of this club will be'to spread interest in commercial affairs, to promote the contest idea, and to make the commercial subjects more interesting in general. Liverpool now offers great opportunities to those students who are interested in business as a career. Either a two or a three year sequence in commercial subjects can be arranged and within the next few years Secretarial Practice and Bookkeeping will probably be added to the curriculum. . Dramatic Club T THE beginning of the 1935 school term, john Gehm, Rosita O'Neil, Marion Gettmann, and Victor Tillotson were the only members of the Dramatic Club. A student us- ually does not become a member before he has reached his senior year, and therefore, thereis a great vacancy left in the membership list after graduation. This year, however, there were quite a few juniors who became members, for they had been working to obtain the required fifty points for admittance since their debut as Freshmen. The deserving Juniors, who received the pins in june, were, Marjorie Glahn, Mary King, june Parks, Betty Pease, Margaret Wackerle, Robert Parsons, and David Schamu. Many of the points were obtained by participa- tion in the various programs throughout the year. There were plenty of Seniors, of course, who graduated with a Dramatic Club pin. Glen Davie, William Donaldson, james Gillette, Mary Lou Hondorf, Betty Hopper, Mary Betty Irving, Virginia Keller, Jean Orth, Mar- shall Robinson, Dorothy Thomas, and Leara Vieau constitute the list, which sets a record for Senior Class membership. On Lincoln's Birthday, Mary King did a splendid job of relating Mary Shipman An- drew's Perfect Tribute . Washington's Birthday was marked by a play entitled A Dish of China Tea , repre- senting the revolutionary period. Characters were as follows: Mrs. Wynne .................... june Parks Lady Augusta Clive ...... Aseneth Van Aiken The Honorable Clarissa Courtnaye . ................,....... Betty Scholl Mrs. Cornelia Thrackmaston. . .Helen Tooley Mrs. Cynthia Ravenscoft. Mary Betty Irvin: Hontiye Wynne ............... Betty Glahn Marcey Gorden .......,..... Margaret Loop A Craxy Mix-Up , an exact opposite of the first Senior play given in December, and entitled Little Women , was extremely mo- dern and full of laughs. The anxiety caused by the participants' actions held everyone in sus- pense. The parts were taken by: Lee julian .................. Betty Hopper Paula Roberts .... ........ J ean Orth Crystal Craig. . . .... Virginia Keller Alicia Julian .... . . .Leara Vieau
