Competition, according to the senior Fnglish teachers and the senior advisers, was so even that scholastic averages were finally resorted to as a means of final decision. Gordon Berg, class president, gave the introductory speech. Having the class leader lake charge of the program has become a custom at West.

I ”Quality Street” JUNE CLASS PI AY Quality Street, a comedy in four acts, is the story of two sisters, the Misses Susan and Phoebe Throssrl. They lived in the period of the Napoleonic wars, and until the opening of the play, had led well-ordered, uneventful lives. Around Phoebe, the younger of the two sisters, centers the romantic interest of the play in her episode with Valentine, a young military man. He goes to war, and upon returning, finds Miss Phoebe entirely changed. Her curls are hidden under a dame’s cap, and she is nothing more than a calm, polite, little school teacher. Naturally, his interest in her wanes, and Phoebe, who loves her handsome soldier lad determines to win back his affections. She unloosens her curls, dresses in a wedding gown of Susan's, which was never used, and pretends to become her own niece, a Miss Liwy. Many plans are upset, and poor Susan’s heart is nearly broken by this act, but Phoebe reaches her goal, and wins back her sweetheart, who dis-covers that it is Miss Phoebe he really loves. • • • ” Milestones” JANUARY CLASS PLAY Drama is a strange thing when one reflects that the entire span of a man’s life may be encompassed in three fifty-minute acts. At least, that was the way critics viewed the subject after attending the performance of Milestones given in the West High Auditorium on December right, as the class of January’s contribution to the school’s histrionic triumphs. The life of one man as it affected the lives of several men is the thread of the story, the man being John Rhcad, portrayed ably by Carl Struck, and the other men being Samuel Sibley, his partner in business, played by Ray Klocksien, Arthur Preece, portrayed by Jim Gerberding, and Ned Pym, a friend of the family, played by Bob Bob-left.
