Class Plug l Friday, January 13, might have been unlucky for many, but for the cast of 'QSpring Dancev it was lucky, for the play, a gay comedy by Philip Barry, under the direction of Miss Wanda Mitchell, was presented before a large and appreciative audience and went along smoothly to its last curtain. The scene, in a modest New England house near the campus of a girls, school, with the prim Miss Ritchie as house mother, sets a contrasting background for the light banter and flippant man- ner of the modern college girls and their visiting boy friends. The plot concerns Alex Benson, who has fallen in love with a Yale man, Sam Thatcher, and is broken-hearted because he is going to Russia for two years with his crony, woman-hater Lippincott. Her roommate, Kate McKim, who is a confirmed man-hater, except for Mr. Beckett, her young professor, whom she says is 'ljust wonderfulf, plots with her other mates to detain Sam until they can make him see that he loves Alex as much as she loves him. Wfith the help of Sally Prescott, who has superb ideas, Frances Penn, who is beautiful but dumb, Nlady Platt, who is rich and witty, and their boy friends, Doc Byrd, Buck Buchannon, and the humorous John Hatton-Yale and Princeton men-who have come down for the spring dance, and the unwilling maid, Mildred, they finally lock the Lippincott in the pantry while Sam and Alex elope. The cast-Sitting: Clyde Wigner, John Hatton, Nancy Hovis, Frances Fenn, Virginia Garretson, Sally Prescott, Goff Utterback, Buck Buchannon, Lonald Belt, Kate McKim, Ernest Mullen, The Lippincott, Paul Hylbert, Doc Byrd, Jane Merrill, Mady Platt, Betty Koon, Miss Ritchie, Dick Leonard, Walter Beckett.

26 Class Activities HALLOWE'EN DANCE October 31, the night when ghosts and goblins walk, was selected by the January '39 class for their first social affair, a Tacky Dance in the Elks' Club ballroom. The ballroom and stage were gayly decorated in fuchsia and silver. After a hilarious evening, every student, and even the chaperones, said they had a good time. COLOR DAY Cn Friday, November 4, the January seniors wore their class colors, fuchsia and silver, for the first time. At 8:30 in the morning the beautiful Hag was raised by President Bryan Wilson, while the class members sang and cheered. After lunch the class presented its Color Day Program. The scene was Moose Inn, a modern night club. A selected orchestra furnished the music. The formally dressed couples were greeted by Wes Barringer, master of ceremonies, who presented the floor show. Dot Uoan Davisj Satterfield, with her boy friend, Bill Oakes, securely tied to her by a rope, kept us laughing, Jinky Garretson and Mary Frances Kennedy sang romantic songs, Clyde Wigner, with his impersonations, was forever present, but was finally bounced by the waiters, a trio, Jean Deeble, Dorothy Satterfield, Louise Schilling, sang, Gene Barringer delighted his audience with his trumpet, and Dot Satterfield sang a song composed by Louise Schilling. This completed the floor show, and the couples resumed their dancing as the curtain went down. SENIOR TEA An old P. H. S. custom was revived when the Senior I girls entertained the Senior II girls with a delightful tea on Saturday, January 14. The tea was held at the Wo1nan's Club from two- thirty to five o'clock. JUNIOR-SENIOR BANQUET The Junior II class entertained the January '39 Seniors on Monday night, January 16, with the usual banquet at the Masonic Temple. After a delicious dinner, a program, which took us back to our nursery days, was presented by the talented Juniors, with Charles Taylor as toastmaster. Mr. Michael, the Old King Colei' of the party, was the principal speaker. Later, the ballroom was cleared and dancing was enjoyed until twelve o'c1ock. CLASS DANCE Tuesday, January 17, was set aside by the graduating class for their farewell to each other. The Seniors' private dinner and dance was held in the banquet hall of the Chancellor Hotel. The tables were decorated with flowers, and fuschia and silver streamers. After a delicious dinner, Bryan Wilson, class president, presented Miss Kerr with a gift of appreciation from the class. Val Brown's Brigadiers played for dancing from eight-thirty to twelve. SENIOR I-II PARTY Wednesday, January 18, was the last Senior affair, when we were entertained by the Senior I's at the Coliseum. Although we were outnumbered by our hosts. we had a very good time. Eva Satow
