28 THE HIGH SCHOOL RECORDER Dear Miss Peppy: The library is closed on Thursday afternoons. Where shall I go to keep informed on question of the day?

Obligingly yours, Peppy Dear Miss Peppy: Is it true that a. new club has been formed in our school? I heard that John Lights and Johnny Powers had formed a branch of the Light and Power Corpora- tion-but that is a silly joke, isn't it? Gropingly yours, , Dumb Bell, Jr. Dear Dumb Bell, Junior: You said it. - But the combination is doomed to failure, as usually the Light's out and the Powers off-decidedly off. Regretfully yours, Peppy Dear Miss Peppy: Won't you please use your influence in favor of inaugurating a Girls' Week next year? We think its only fair to us women to have it. i Logically yours, . u l Helen Foote Dear Miss ,Foote: Whataya meanQGirls, Week!-Every week is girls' week around here.

WHOLE TOWN'S TALKING On February 20, the Senior class presented as their annual play, tiThe Whole Townis Talking, a farce comedy in three acts, which has had a long run on Broadway, With marked success. We doubt if a better presentation could be given by amateur players than that of the Seniors who took part in our pro- duction. i The cast was well chosen, and members of it displayed unusual talent in enacting their parts. Miss Marion Winney as Ethel Simmons was a charming heroine, and entirely won the hearts of the audience with hr delightful charteriza- tion of a finished young lady just home from school. Miss Dorothy Fitzpatrick as Mrs. Simmons, ably portrayed the ambitious mother. and suspicious wife. The mle of Letty Lythe, a famous moving picture star, was iinely done by Miss Ruth Salisbury. Also very creditably finished were the parts of Lila Wilson, taken 'by Miss Marion Peacock and Sally Otis, played by Miss Dorothy Saunders. They were typical romantic tifiappers. A humorous performance of Annie, the inquisitive maid, was given by Miss Esther Baker, while Miss Elizabeth McCon- nell touched with true spirit the character of Sadie Bloom, a dancing teacher. The boys in the cast also phovetd themselves to be fine actors. Harry lSettle as Chester was perfectly cast as the hero, playing faithfully the. role of a slow, out-of-date book-keeper. John Toomey as Henry Simmons, a paint manufacturer, did some remarkably fine acting, and provoked repeated mirth from the audience. Rloger Shields, 3 young Chicago blood, was characterized by Paul Saunders, whose affected drawl and flattering French phrases delighted the audience.Doug1as Eighmey, as Donald Swift, prize- iighting fiance and manager of. Letty Lythe, carried his part to perfection. The part of the taxi-driver, though a small one, was well finished, and was taken by Francis Lewis. Reviewing the play in our minds, we wio'nder if we shall ever forget our delighted surprise at the light in the dark, with heroic Chester perched high on the mantlepiece, Donald and Roger badly beaten up on the floor, and the frenzied chorus of the girls and Mr. and Mrs. Simmons outside the door! I After all is said and done, the fact remains that the Senior play was a huge success in every way. Enough credit caninot be given to Miss Lena Smith, through whose coaching so much was accomplished. Then, too, the stage set in excellent taste, brought credit to the property committee, with Mrs. Mary R. Richardson in charge, assisted by Miss; Evelyn Sadler, Richard Remillard and John B. Smith, Jr. In short the play was a success because everybody worked, everybody helped and everybody supported it. Here s to the same. success for every Senior play which is to come hereafter! .
