When the children first arrived, a program was given for them consisting of a piano solo by Mildred Harvey. a violin solo by Irene Ren- barger. and a dialogue by Darl Nall and Nick Young called 'lloshing the Jan- itor. After the program, kid games were played in the gymnasium, such as l'Three Deep and Drop the Handkerchieff' The prizes for the best costumes were prsented at this time to Betty Bader. Betty Millikan. James Wilson. and Bob Daniels. Later. refreshments dear to childish hearts. ice cream coner and chocolate teddy bears, were served in the cafeteria. Mathematics Club The future Euclids decided that 'lin union there is strength and so the Mathematics Club, supervised by Mr. Penrod and Mr. Pribble. was formed. A constitution was drawn up and adopted and all those taking Algebra 3. Geo- metry. or Trigonometry were eligible. The officers elected were: Royden Butterfield. President: Andrew Powell. Vice-Prsident: Clarence Foust, Secretary ancl Treasurer: Hefen Culp, Reporter. Meetings were held the first and third Thursdays of each month. and parties were given at the school. National Oratorical Contest A great deal of interest has been arouied this year in Marion High School by the National Oratorical Contest. The contest was originated by the National Bar Association, to stimulate greater interest in the Constitution among the high school students of the United States. It was sponsored in Indiana by the Indianapolis News. which spent around 510.000 for prizes. to create more interest and ccmpetition in the state. The large number of Indiana High Schools which were entered should make the sponsors well satis- lied with their efforts. Indiana was divided into districts and territories. with the final contest at Indianapolis. The states were grouped into zones and the zone winners received trips to Washington, D. C.. to give their speeches before the President of the United States with the supreme Court as judges. The local elimination was held on March 25th in our auditorium before a generala general assembly The cntr'e were Adeine Mart Margaret Lan Z Z Z Z Z Z Z Z Z Z Z Z in Z A 5 Q S R . 3 I 3 I . , - g :' if I Q H X Q, M THE 1924 CACTUS gan, Edwin Pope, Ruby Knipp, Vernona Lees and Verla Dicken. Adeline Mart was given first place. She next competed in the district contest, held at Marion High School, March 28th, where she won again. There were three high schools represented I Q -Van Buren, Swayzee and Marion. The dstrict judges were Mr, Oren Q' Dickey. a Marion attorney. Mrs. McAninch. from Marion College and Prof. Coughlin. of Kokomo. Miss Mart won a prize of 350, which was offered to 1 every district winner in the state. Q 3 7 April llth. in the terrltorial contest held at Newcastle, the Marion con- testant was again successful and eliminated the representatives from Newcastle, A Greenfield. Anderson, Lawrence and Mtliicie. In the State finals at Indianapolis, A ril 19th, there were six schools re- ' - p I X presented-Marion. Kokomo, Auburn, Martinsville. Evansville and James- j Z town. The representative from Martinsville was given first place and the Kokomo representative received second place. Though Miss Mart did not get nrst place, her showing was good. The many Marion people who heard the Q contest felt that the standards of judging were decidedly peculiar. We may well Q 7 be proud to be one of the six schools represented at Indianapolis, There is little doubt that the Oratori:al Contest has been a noteworthy success. It has Z caused much valuable research on the Constitution by students, in addition to the public speaking exercises. j . I I f 7 The Discussion League 7, f THE Annual High School Discussion League Contest was held in the general X Q43 assembly of the Marion I-Ilgh School students toward the latter part of March. The subject chosen for the discussion this year was A World Peace Plann' which is a subject of world wide interest today. X Z g The plans. subject and material for these contests are furnished by Indiana f University every year. All high school students are eligible to participate and Z all are greatly encouraged to enter, especially the Public Speaking classes. Z f There were just three entrants this year: Verla Dicken, Kenneth Grin- f stead and James Wilsoni All 'plans were well presented and showed evi- Z dence olf much hard work and time spent in the details necessary to perfect a Z, I peace p an. X . James Wilson was the iirst-speakerg Verla Dicken second and Kenneth X Crinstead third. The judges decided in favor of Verla Dicken, who was en- Z titled to enter the county contest.

F'Px KILTNI 41.1.1 WE introduce one of the best High School Faculties to be found. With slight changes in its membership, this faculty has faithfully served us during the last four years. lt may be said of its members that they are ever patient and always help- ful in the highest degree. Though they are frequently maligned it must be admitted by all that they are usually in the right. There has been a marked number of mid-semester changes in the faculty this year. The following instructors have been lost to Nl. H. S, during the past nine months: B. W. Harter. Lena Smith and Hazel Davis. Those who have filled the vacant positions are: John P. Price. Mrs. Ely and Della Wall. 1' V T A 'N 'XI'-.1 'V' Q 33, Lily ,..1'- iii Z Z Z Z in l Cr F9 Ai N VB 9 a 4 ' 'JW 6 Q33 aw? . ,EV 1 g- I Egg 5,6 . ,Q . ,L . - , , 1 16. vi . .3 if AH: 4 L 1 .

Eugene Thomas. Although Thomas has looked into the future and is training his Freshmen and Sophomores he has not failed to put representative teams into the field. The year of 1924-25 should contain the most brilliant record of athletic achievement in the history of M. H. S. With 1 working start for a football team and a good nucleus for a basketball team. the prospects for another year are indeed bright. The athletic program for 1924-25 is stupen- dous. ln addition to the four major sports- football. basketball. baseball, and track, Coach Thomas plans to have cross-country and per- haps tennis. The cross-country meets will be arranged on dates when home football games are to be played and the finish will be made at Memorial Field a few minutes before the foot- bal lgames start. years in the history of the school. Eugene Thomas. graduate of Indiana Uni- versity. took up his duties as head coach of Marion High School and athletic director of the Marion City Schools early in September of 1923. ln addition to creating good teams in basketball and football. Thomas has re-intro- duced track as a major sport. As a usual thing the year in which a new regime in athletics is started. is a year full of trials and tribulations. The record of the past nine months entirely refutes the theory that the irst year is always more or less nlled with back- szts and it usually a year of watchful waiting. Manager. B. la.

This great athletic plant has secured its name from its dedication to the Grant County soldiers and sailors I 2 who lost their lives in the World War. Agitation for an athletic field was started in the summer of l923 and Z ended in the construction of Memorial Field on the school property just west 4 of Washington street on Thirty-Sixth street. Work on the field was hurried in 7 order that it might be dedicated at the first home game with Peru. October 6. Z The dedication ceremonies were in charge of the Marion chapter of the Ameri- ? can Legion. State Commander Ball gave the dedicatory address. The Club X acted as field men for the day. X Z The Held is surrounded with a high, strong. wire fence. The bleachers which stretch along the entire south side, give seating facilities for about four Q thousand people. As the crowds increase, bleachers will be erected along the J X north side and at both ends of the field. There is parking space for about one y thousand automobiles. A flag pole of immense pro ortions has been erected at j P Z the west end of the inclosure. An up-to-date score board which gives results, 2 play by play. was presented by th: Grant Trust and Savings Co. A huge J memorial archway is to be erected by the South Marion Business Men's Club. 7 Due to the rapidity with which the field was constructed. the sod was not I I in good shape for the games and some difficulty was encountered with softness. Z1 After the last home game of the season the grid-iron was plowed, leveled and f f sown to grass seed. Every attempt is being made to have the turf in the best Z possible condition by next fall. A cinder track is being laid around the grid- ? iron and is to be completed soon. The total expenditure up to the present for g the field has been over four thousand dollars.

The following men received letters in football: Philip Polley. Tom Black. Eorrest Clupper, Bill Miller. Ralph Thomas. Robert Elinn, Erank Eaunce, Everett Lawson, Robert Chapman. Ered Prail. Albert Barley, Maurice Staton. j and Clair Mimi. 7 The Basketball sweaters were coat type and were awarded to the follow- ing men, Albert Barley. Clyde Boykin. Robert Chapman. Tim Murphy. Z Everett Lawson, Edward Daniels and Erank Eaunce. X An innovation in the way of athletic awards was the presentation to the football reserves of reserve letter sweaters. These sweaters were slip-over g style. with a V neck also, but they were lighter in weight than the varsity letters and the was put inside a circle. The men who received them were. Albert Eaunce. John Koeppen. Edward Daniels. Leornard Weaver. Eorrest Hardin, Hal Chasey, Alvin skiiiiiei. and Philip Miller. 7 X TRACK Q lt has been necessary to devote so much time to the fundamentals of the sport this year that the track squad has not made an exceptional showing. The 5, team has been entered in four meets but has not placed high. There seemed to be a shortage of both dash men and distance runners. Bill Miller has made a .A good record with the shot put. 905619 ft- JF' c fv-T J5'N 2. A , 6 .F .rgi G' T' .ggi .

During the football season as Q many as half a dozen hopefuls might be seen trying to get the support of the Z crowd at one time. One by one these try-outs lost hope or faith and gave up the I task. Margaret Snyder. former leader of the Howling Hundred was the best of Z these yell leaders and she did most of the cheer leading until her graduation in January. Z ln January, Nick Young and Albert Faunce assumed the positions and Z fi filled them the rest of the year. They worked hard and faithfully to make up f acrobatic stunts and new ways of leading the cheering, A few weeks before the Z district tournament they secured white pants with lettering on them and these, Z Z helped out by two football reserve sweaters and some spectacles, made up the f costumes. , Z - . . . f Z On a whole the cheering for the past year has been good but it can be Q greatly improved. The yell leaders need better support from the student body. As a possible remedy for the didiculty experinced last fall in the selection of f e f f the yell leaders, we suggest a system of try-outs. The most capable applicants Q' -Imam! l fi for the position could then be selected without its being at the expense of the cheering, The selection could be made either by a committee of representative students. or by the student body through elections. This system is used in most colleges and universities and has proven very successful 500095484 A E L fi. s A 1, . 4 'i .F 555 . -ei ' A v 'Q Fav f 62 i t or C-sq.-f F : J-Q -.f we 'i,ia.f H THE 1924 CACTUS fl f i Q fs i 51 Q r ' j 7???,jgIqy ' I 4 e 4 Z 'TTT' - 2 i Q -1-fl, ,iii Q il :A W' u P F1 a . - . ae,-M at . .-...ii f f lllllllll ll if'-lf! r l i il il -ii I lllllllll we Q illlllllllil J f J First call for football candidates was issued the week before school com- 7 menced and fifty uniforms were distributed at this time. Practice began the Z first day of school. The outlook was not exceedingly bright, for Thomas con- I Z fronted the task of building an entirely new line from green material . However f he was fortunate enough to have a crack backfield to begin with. Z The Hrst two weeks were utilized in getting the men into condition and Z teaching them the fundamentals. The number of candidates soon became smaller, for it took a real man with determination to go through with the les- ! sons in charging. blocking. tackling. handling the ball, and above all. the X f goose-walk. a favorite exercise administered for strengthening the leg muscles. Z When scrimmage was started every man received careful attention concern- Z ing the duties of his position. The spirit of the men was commendable. A Z I practice game was played with Vifabash.

At one time the Peru eight-yard line was reached but the ball was lost on downs.

Peru opened up passwork and scored three minutes before the game ended with a tie score. MARION 6. CLINTON 7. Clinton came from the coal mines of southern Indiana with a formidable reputation. Marion received the kickfof and after pounding the line over Black and Chapman. and making a couple of end runs. Prail carried the ball across. but the try for goal failed.

He smeared many an end run that looked goodi for the opponents. He snagged forward passes in a capable manner and went down fast under punts. Bill has another year. PRAIL Red called signals from right half position. As the most experienced man on the squai his presence was invaluable. Though frequently injured he always stayed in the game. He had the reputation of being the hardest hitter on the team. This is his fourth and last year. BARLEY Abbie started the season at quarter but was soon shifted to full-back, where his smash- ing line plunges and ability to return punts a long distance made hiin a fixture. As a safety man. he was hard to get around. He will undoubtedly be seen with a college freshman team next year. LAWSON Kewpie finished the season at right end and was drawn back from this position to do the punting. He also did most of the drop-kicking. From his wing position he always bothered his enemies by blocking passes and punts. MARION 0, MUNCIE ZZ. Against Muncie a much heavier team, the plucky Marion eleven held its own throughout the first half of a game featured by startling recoveries on the part of the Bearcats. The Muncie backlield fumbled frequently but always re- covered in time to save themselves. The half ended O-O. In the second half lVIuncie scored 22 points on three touchdowns and one field goal. One touch- down was secured by a line plunge, one by a forward pass, and the last by an intercepted pass. The Held goal was a forty yard drop kick. In spite of many attempts to score the breaks were against the Purple and Gold and they were de- feated. MARION 13, SHORTRIDGE 12. Again the Purple and Gold was up against a much heavier team. The Shortridge line forced the forward wall of the Marion team back till a touch- down was scored in the first quarter entirely by line rushes In the Hrst minutes of the second quarter the Shortridge grid men repeated the trick and pushed the l l i i 4 .f WHICH f ?

FLINN Bob played the first of the season at right end. then alternated at both ends the rest of the year. He always troubled the opposing offensive by messing plays and breaking up inter- ference. He is lost to the team by graduation. THOMAS Though a novice at the beginning of the year. Thomas rapidly gained experience and cinched a berth at right tackle. He became a sure tackler and was exceedingly fast on his feet. He will be invaluable next year. POLLEY Another new man, Phil held down the right guard position all season. He was strong. a fighter, and never knew when he was beaten. He was stone wall defense and tore gaping' holes in the opposing forward wall on offense. He has another year. BLACK NVithout previous football experience. Tom developed into the fastest charger on the team. He was light. but aggressive and quick. When a hole in the line was needed he opened it up and he always gave more than he took. He will cause the opponents of M. H. S. greati anxiety next year. ball across the line but failed to kick goal. Then in a furious onslaught. the: Marion men drove the men in blue back and, after a thirty yard end run, Prail carried the ball across and Eaunce added another point with a drop-kick. By a series of well executed forward passes Marion again completely bewildered the capital city boys and scored another touchdown on a pass from Miller to Miller. The half ended before any more playing. Marion opened the second half with a series of line rushes and passes that again threatened to swamp Shortridge. Due to poor officiating, the quick charg- ing of the Marion line was declared to be off-side plays and the Purple and Gold was penalized again and again, each time in such a way to stop a march for: touchdown. With the breaks against them the boys lost heart and Shortridge carried the ball to the two yard line, Where with touchdown to make and three downs to do it in the Marion crew braced and Black recovered the ball on a fum ble and the game ended Z Z Z Z Z Z Z Z Z Z Z 5 'HAM f E 1 'E r fl?

MILLER Miller tossed tlte passes. A sub last year, he produced the stuff this season and gained the position of quarter-back. His accurate hurling of passes paved the way to many touchdowns. SKINNER Skinny was unfortunate in playing positions that were well filled by larger and more experienced men. Though exceedingly light, he was fast. a good tackler and had a vast supply of nerve. He was a valuable reserve man. He is a senior. STATON Mose played guard and center and was a valuable man in pinches. He was a scrapper and made Clupper work to keep his position at center. F. EAUNCE Fauncie was the best man on the team for skirting the wings. Playing left half. his wide. sweeping end runs gained great yardage and many touchdowns for the Purple and Gold. Faunce graduates. and his work on defense was good. MARION 70. BLUEFTON O. Bluffton was completely outclassed in a game at Memorial Field, which degenerated into a track meet. The Marion score was the largest ever made by a Marion team of late years, MARION 32, NEWCASTLE 6 Newcastle did not furnish much opposition although Prail could only call signals due to a sprained ankle. The lone touchdown of the Green and White was secured by an intercepted pass. MARION 18, HUNTINGTON 6. Before a large crowd of both Marion and Huntington fans, the Purple and Gold downed the Red and Black on the latter's Homecoming Day.

There should be little difficulty concerning the center of the line next year with Clupper back in the pivot position. X . HARDIN Z Fat played next to center and his work as a sub guard was very commendable. He was hampered by lack of experience. He graduates. CHAPMAN Z Ambrose landed a job at left tackle and was never displaced during the whole season. His great height and long reach were the cause of much misery on the part of opposing guards. tackles and ends. He will be back in the line next year. Z Z failed. After a series of end runs Paunce scored and the kick again was wild. The half ended with Huntington attempting fake plays. X ln the second half Huntington advanced the ball to Marion's one yard line Q and made first down. Marion held for four downs but on the last one a penalty wascalled for off-side and Huntington was given four more downs. On the third they pushed the ball across. Later. a pass from Miller to Prail scored for Marion. ? and thus ended our most successful season on the grid. X SUMMARY. October 6 Here , , Marion 6. . Peru 6 Z October 13 . . Here Marion 6. .

It was necessary for Coach Thomas to build a team around a nucleus of two experienced varsity men and a number of second string men. 7 lt is hard to realize how handicapped the team was by lack of experience. True X to his promise. Thomas had a team which fought hard and played clean. though often defeated. Because of the lack of experience among the basketball f men, it was necessary for the coach to devote much time to fundamentals. g The season opened with Hartford City playing here. and the large crowd which witnessed the event was pleased to see the locals fight through to a 23 to j 17 win. However. this first victory was followed by the loss of games to New- ? castle there. Anderson here. Huntington here. and Warsaw here. The Marion lads fought bravely to the end of each game but were unable to cop the bacon. Z At last, the team braced and defeated Huntington 24 to l7 at Huntington. Z The game was rough and many fouls were called. This win was followed by 2 2 Jamal 6 1 I revenge on Newcastle to the tune of 3l to 22, on the home hardwood. lVlarion's lead was held throughout the game. A heartbreaking game was lost to South Side of Fort Wayne here. After holding the lead up to the last minute, Marion was overcome by a last moment rally and fell, 30 to 26. In a game in which years of rivalry were summed up, Marion lost to Fairmount on the Fairmount court. This was the first defeat re- ceived at the hands of Fairmount in four years and feelings were bitter. At' Anderson the squad showed great improvement although overwhelmed by the score of 68 to 24. Marion struck a winning streak and stopped Sweetser here by a 24 to 21 count Hartford City was again dropped to the tune of 30 to 14 This last win was quite a surprise since the game was played at Hartford The luck lasted while Lebanon was dropped on Civic Hall floor 32 to 23 JF, fc IVY 3 gg Ht .

The Lightnin Five had the Marion boys in 17 to 2 just before the half ended. A comeback which has never been equalled at Civic Hall was sprung in the second half. and one minute before the end of the game Marion was ahead by one point. At this critical moment. the Marion crew weakened and another basket for Warren won the game for them. Score. 25 to 24. 5 Another winning streak brought Warsaw down 31 to 23 on the Warsaw floor. Lebanon fell before the same onslaught by a 27 to 25 score. Technical, of Indianapolis was sent home with the small end of a 23 to 21 score. In her attempt to repeat the victory won earlier in the season Fairmount lost a close 7 contested game at Marion by a 30 to 22 score. The Muncie Bearcats ran wild on their home floor and won by a score of 65 to 21. y In the return game with Muncie played at Marion the Purple and Gold 71 triumphed over the Purple and White 22 to ll. This final victory was felt to be a great triumph, for although the Muncie team was weakened by sickness, it y was the second game they had lost in the season. f The outstanding characteristics of the season was the steady improvement displayed by the team through-out the season. Barley and Faunce are the only I men lost by graduation. With Daniels. Chapman, Murphy. Lawson. and 4 Boykin back next year and with the excellent material from this year's second f team, the outlook for 1924-25 is promising. One notable feature of this year's reserves was the fact that there were so many freshmen and sophomores making good showings.

District Tournament 1-IE 1924 District Tournament, held in Marion, February 29th and March T lst, was the largest tournament ever held in the city. notwithstanding the fact that there was a smaller number of teams in the district than ever before. All the games, with the exception of one, were close and the ofliciating was excellent. Marion defeated Jonesboro 21 to ll, Sweetser 30 to 19. and Swayzee 20 to 15, all on Saturday. The tournament had two upsets. games 2 and 6. The heavy Blue Devils of Van Buren gave the dope bucket the first wallop by stopping Fairmount and then Swayzee put the finishing touches to the pail and defeated Van Buren.

Boykin contracted mumps and Chapman was laid up with a bad case of tonsilitis. Coach Thomas worked hard to get subs in shape for the contest and put Faunce in Boykin's place. The team was not disheartened by this bad luck and proved the matter conclusively by cooling Warsaw's ardor with a score of 22 to 17. The second opponent of the day, North Manchester, was a team of greater strength, having lost only one game during the playing season. Notwithstand- ing this fact. the Purple and Gold warriors battled the Manchester men to a standstill up till the last few minutes of play, when the superior strength of the up-staters told. Barley made the best showing of the year in this game and won much comment from the spectators. The men used teamwork and their fight lasted till the gun cracked.

The l members of the second team gave the varsity stiff opposition in practice and they forced the first stringers to keep on the jump every moment in order to hold their positions. About all that the reserves get out of their work is hard knocks and experience. Contrary to expectation, the basketball second team did not receive reserve letter sweaters as did the reserve football men. How- ever. their work was just as hard and faithful. The line-up of the second team was not stable this year since men were being constantly removed to go on to the varsity, and their places were rapidly filled by new men. A number of Freshmen played on the team and only Miller, Skinner and Lewis graduate. The squad was under the coaching of Clifford Pribble. assistant coach. During the season nine games were won and seven lost. They were de- feated by Rock Creek first team, and won from the first teams of LaFontaine. Monument City, Gas City and Lincolnville. The Gas City varsity was over' whelmed 31 to 1-1' on the Cas City court The squad at the end of the season consisted of Skinner, Miller, Overman. Heck, Lewis, Polley, Boykin. Ballinger. Custer. Fraser. and Kilgore. Skinner, Overman, Heck, Boykin and Fraser were forwards. Any combination of these men proved effective and their work in going down and getting under the basket was fast. Polley at back-guard always crocked the opposition when they got within the foul line. Lewis and Miller alternated at center, and there was not much choice between these pivot men. ln the floor position Ballinger looked good.

THE 1924 CACTUS Z Z Z in med 'tl The Wren IN the midst of the excitement of the beginning of a new term, rumors began circulating about the Hrst of the two annual Senior plays which are always the biggest events in the Senior calendar. Clever posters were to be seen everywhere. reminding us that, the first of the usual two plays, was to be The Wren. These posters were rather a puzzle though, for what relation did the exquisitely-gowned girl of the posters have to do with the modest little Wren? On February l2, after a day of great expectancy. the hour finally arrived for the curtain to rise. A larger audience never witnessed a Senior play given at Marion High School. A period of three hours convinced the crowd that a better Senior play had never been given by any graduating class in the recent history of M. H. S. The cast was wisely chosen. The members fitted the roles that they played, and they all showed results of well-directed rehearsing. The coaching was done by Miss Churchman, a member of the Faculty. Mrs. Julia Dana fMildred Harveyb was the mother of a soldier lBob Danielsj and of the Wren llzrances Websterl. Miss Harvey interpreted well the difficult role of the southern widow who is about to lose her old homestead. The part of the negro mammy, taken by Adeline Mart, was exceedingly well played and added much fun to the performance. The roles of the two wealthy mothers, Mrs. Fordston flrene Renbargerj mother of Corrine fMartha Lesterj, and Mrs. Greenston CBetty Millikanb mother of Reggie Greenston CRobert Shiral, were capably portrayed. The hero, Rodney Blake Jr., fNathan Searlesj was a progressive. wealthy, young business man. Rodney Jr. was the adopted son of Rodney Blake Sr. lLionel Smithb and Mrs. Blake lMildred Adamsj. Lionel Smith is a master in the art of interpreting the part of the abrupt, blustering father who is en- tirely out of sympathy with the younger generation. The other roles, Sarah Woodston lMarjorie Perkinsj and Donald Drew lTheodore llilfj, both friends of the Wren and her brother, the maid, Binkie fEdith Tobiasonl and Judge Gray fJohn Koeppenj were all inter- preted without flaw. The business end of the play was handled by Prank Knight. Much credit is due to Prank from the fact that the play was the most successful financially of any play ever presented by the High School. The net profits were turned over to the Library Fund, in accordance with the usual custom. The back stage work was done by Ralph Thomas who changed scenery and Dick Trueblood property man f l l i 2 2 2 Z Z 532' E L 'H flmf 9' - L- A .gg Il l! Q., 9 at - D ' ' 4 A 'gi s .

A playlet entitled Romantic Molly was given by the candidates for ad- l 7 mission to the club, Mildred Harvey, Betty Bader. Elsie Dolan, John f Koeppen and Nathan Searles. on November 27th. After the play, a Thanks- giving luncheon was served and each member was called upon to display his or l Z her dramatic ability by a short speech . . . 7 At Christmas time the dramatists presented before the school a one one-act play entitled, Upon the Waters. The members of the cast were Kathleen g King, Lionel Smith, John Koeppen, Elsie Dolan, Adeline Mart and Martha Lester. Z On Eebruary Zlst. the dramatists celebrated Cieorge Washington's birth- day With a party in which the members emulated the elite of the eighteenth century in costume and manners. A short program of music was given. Q A hard times party was given by the club on March l7th at the home of g Pauline Priest. During the evening the hoboes enjoyed many stunts put on by X various members of the club and ended up the party with refreshments appro- ? priate to St. Patrick's day. The Trysting Place, a one-act play by Booth Tarkington. was pre- Z sented in general assembly by the Dramatic Club on March 26th. The student X Z body enjoyed the play very much. as their hearty applause indicated. The cast included Elsie Dolan, Dick Trueblood. Harrold Moore, Helen Schaumleffel. John Koeppen, Nathan Searles and Kathleen King. all of whom entered into Q the spirit of the travesty on Modern Youth. On April 8th a party was given at the High School, at which a short play Z entitled A'Loves Diplomacy was presented as tryout. Miriam Seegar, Robert f Caine, Robert Elinn, and Betty Bell were admitted to the club on the strength of their performance.
