THANKSGIVING PLAY The Thanksgiving play was given by the American history classes under the direction of Miss Ellingson. A different type of play was used this year. A pro- logue related how the play of this type came to be chosen. The first act showed Tom, whose parents had lost their money and would be unable to send him back to college again, thinking of how little he had to be thankful for. The second act depicted Tom working in a restaurant and thereby working his way through school. The play ended with Tom again at home and realizing all the things he had to be thankful for. The play was written entirely by students, and was par- ticularly appropriate at the present time. CHRISTMAS PLAY The Gleam of the Star, a very successful Christmas play presented Decem- ber 18, 1931, was given under the direction of Miss Mills and Miss Hanson. The story began by the two children, Kathleen McShane and Daniel Schnei- der, declaring that they did not believe in the spirit of Christmas. They fell asleep wishing things were different than at present. While the children were dreaming, they were shown all the delightful phases of Christmas. The scenes shown to the two children with the aid of the fairy were very effective. A prologue, Silent Night, was followed by the entrance of King Wencelas and his page. The next scenes were given in the following order: a group singing There's Joy as the Yule Log Burnsng The First Noel by three carolersg O, Come Emmanuel by a choir of twenty-eight studentsg a girl chorus singing Starlight Gleaming g The Angel and the Shepherdng Adore and Be Still by Norma Perryg Melchoir, Caspar, and Balthazar, the three kings of the Orient. The preceding scenes were shown by many talented students and were con- cluded by a scene depicting the scene of the nativity. WASHINGTON BI-CENTENNIAL PROGRAM A very fine program was presented by members of the student body and Mayor Wallis in commemoration of the Washington Bi-Centennial, February 22. The presentation was opened by an oration given by Mayor Wallis. Follow- ing this an instrumental medley of patriotic songs was given by members of the orchestra and the girls' glee club. Readings on Washington and on the flag wrre given by Eleanor Roen, John Hayes and William Ryan. The National Bi-Centennial Committee presented the school with a portrait of Washington. An account of the presentation was given by Mary James. Our Star Spangled Banner, written by Professor Hardt, with his own musical arrangement, was introduced by him, and sung by the student body. It was a very fine composition and was greatly appreciated and enjoyed by the stu- rlf-nts and faculty. l 1 , ,Y , Iifbl
