- o-c HILLTOP WORKSHOP The main purpose of the Hilltop Workshop for the last two terms has been not merely to present plays, but to get an appreciation of art and life through the drama. The members were able to get a glimpse into the lives of great characters that they otherwise would js ' ; not have received. The Fall Workshop gave three productions: The Initiation Ceremony; three nne-act plays, and the Christmas Festival. In the Initiation each member gave a speech that he had selected from some well-known play. The three one-act plays presented were: The Re- hearsal, Dust of the Road, The Boy Comes Home, and an interlude, The Rising of the Moon. The Christmas Festival, the most elaborate of the three productions, ended the year officially, but the term was really closed at a party given by Miss Voorhees at her home. The Spring class gave four productions: The Initi- ation Ceremony, Abraham Lincoln, three one-act plays, and The Piper. The first production for the Spring term was two scenes from John Drinkwater ' s Abraham Lincoln. The Initiation was then given, the procedure being practically the same as that of the preceding term. The three one-act plays presented were, The King ' s [{nglish, The Three Lepers, and The CJhost Story. The last production was a four-act play by Josephine Preston Peabody, The Piper. Social activities were well taken care of by a trip to the Chinese Theatre, one to the Legion of Honor Museum, and a party at the home of Miss Marrietta Voorhees. The members of the Hilltop Workshop for the last school term were: Eileen Alldridgc, Ruth Anderson, Zelma Arney, Maurice Barteau, Clyde Beery, Helen Benson, Jean Betts, Irene Bulla, Mildred Brazill, Evalyn Bursik, Ruth Carlson, James Clancy, Evelyn Corr, William Corr, Dorothy Cox, Harold Cummins, Doris Davidson, Jean Davidson, George Dean, Alma Drews, Samuel Ellenburg, Macie Farrell, Henrietta Finley, Gwendolyn Foulkes, Max Glaiberman, Margaret Graham, Marian Greene, Mildred Haslam, James Hechtman, Gladys Hobson, Bruce House, James Johnstone, Don Lovett, Gerda Lundberg, Velda Lux, Anna McDerrmott, Bob McMillan, Margaret Malone, Mary Jane Maloney, Clara Marchus, Jole Merlo, Bernhard Meves, William Muriale, William Norton, Margaret O ' Shaughnessy, Ruth Parker, Harry Peck, Tom Powers, Nan Reeves, Elbert Rhoades, Charles Roberts, Frances Rochon, Mabel Roderick, Lillian Roehrig, Tom Rogers, Harriette Romayne, Kathryn Ruby, Donald Sea, Jeanne Smith, Betty Turner, Marian 1 ' urner, Alfred Wells, Jack Wherry, Nell Wythe, Iris Young.

' X-. c V AMERICAN EDUCATION WEEK III a Persian Market was the brilliant pageant staged by the metnbers of tbe dancing class of tlie Physical Education De- partment iin Open House night of American Education Week. The entire dancing group participated in the ballet. The story was centered around the visit of a Princess to a Persian Market. Dolores CJonzalez enacted the role of Princess, with Siiirley Pedlar and Evalyn Bursik as her attendants. Special dances featured Jole Merlo, Ruth Carlson, and May W ' oodside. In addition, C;erda Lundberg portrayed Miss Pow- der Puff in a fanciful dance. Water Lily and Swan ' s Down were the original dances by Shirley Pedlar and Evalyn Bursik. One hundred and fifty dancers were included in the cast. The drama was under the direction of Mrs. Irma Vaudoit, assisted hv Miss Juanita Nicholson and Miss Irene Palmer on scenery and costumes. Music was furnished under the direction of Mr. A. C. Olker. Elaborate settings and costumes contributed to the beauty of the performance. At the conclusion of the pageant in the school auditorium, the parents and visitors visited the class rooms where ilemonstra- tions were held and all subjects were offered for exhibitinn. A liquid air experiment which produced bounceless rubber balls, was among the ijiterestiiig demonstrations given by the science department. Roy Murray and Kenneth McCamman con- ducted the experiment under the direction of Miss Hattie Haub, Miss Mabel Akers, and Mrs. Dorothy l immler. The biology department ' s contribution to Open House night was a marine aquarium. The cla.ss room depicted a Hall of Fame, wherein the noted biologists were represented. Many itses of chemicals were demonstrated in that subject by ammonia fountains, photo- graphy, and chemical gardens of various precipitations. The instructors in charge of the work were Miss Ruth Wood and Miss Elizabeth Hiner. Students in telegraphy exhibited the transmission of messages as the manner of represent- ing their department. Mr. William Hammond supervised the exhibition. The physics laboratory was a much freiiuented room, producing musical flowers, carbon arc lights, and experiments on air pressure. Work of good will and charity carried on by the Social Service Club was expressed to the guests by the filling of Thanksgiving bas- kets. Old toys were made new at the bands of the Social Studies Stu- dents featuring a practical appli- cation of Social Problems work. In addition, the remaining de- partments added their share to make Open House night a success, and bring American Education Week to a brilliant close. Fifly-fwo
