What ho! This is a sure way flower rightl to win a round of applause-on Color Day. From every nation in the world come young people into Phoenix Union High School. However, instead of saying proudly, I'm a Togalooschco- gean, for example, they are saying, l'm an American, but l remember how it was where I came from- It's that way in the Cosmopolitan Club. With- out ever forgetting that their country is America and only America, the members of the club give each other the benefit of their knowledge of and experience in other countries. To get true pic- tures of other nations as they are at the present, club members enjoyed this year speakers from lands such as India, China, Greece, and South America. Not satisfied with participation in the PTA pageants and operettas, the two class plays, or the follies, Masque and Bauble members partici- pate in Little 'Theatre activities, numerous one act plays, and eventful club gatherings. They write plays, imitate stars of radio and screen, and are not unlikely to strike dramatic poses on the Fifth Building fire escape steps as on the Auditorium stage. e're All 0 ne Nalionalil -American 1114

Democracy, lls Theme-Beau! , Its ey Word The greatness of these United States lies in our ideals . . During all its sixteen years, the Masque of the Yellow moon has never found more perfection in color or theme than was abundantly evident in the 1941 production. That is saying something, too, when one remembers the nation-Wide acclaim that all previous Masques have Won. Telling the story of America under the title, These United States , the Masque depicted the saga of Democracy, using outstanding occasions in the history of our country to present the theme. Hundreds were turned away from the Stadium, unable to find seats, as the Masque curtain went up, revealing the United States Capitol Building as or background for this amazing drama. Soldiers of the American Revolution, the Civil War period, the Spanish American War, and the World War car- ried the Democracy First ideal to the audience in colorful pageantry. Following this, cultural highlights in our history received attention by means of dances, comedy skits, songs, and colorful maneuvers. Mrs. Cordelia M. Perkins, director of the Masque, earned rich praise for the excellence of the production. Under her supervision, more than one hundred teachers and 3,000 students , representing two high schools, the Vocational School and the Iunior College combined resources to bring These United States to a perfect climax. REGAL SMILES rewarded the photographer when Queen Lenore and her at- tendants assembled tor this picture.
