For you, who stood behind the scenes, and offered us your aid, XVe call this intermission to record the part you've played. M I Our play would not run snioothly, without a polished script, l And so, to able Mrs. Golf, our hats are proudly tipped. 0 f .J For our scenery and stage-props, Mr. Winston is extolledg lf' My Miss O'Donnell, with gym costumes, decked us all in blue and gold. 'I'o insure our smiles and giggles, Mr. Cuba made us roar, For he Havored Modern Hist'ry with his helpful open door. i In We received our needed cues, and her guidance which was keen, From our grand coach, Mrs. Corbett, who directed every scene. But without the aid of music, we'd eventually be bored, So to Mr. Ianies McCormack, thank you for the long Lost Chord. XVe remember how we hastened, never ling'ring in the hall,- Making sure the curtain rose on time, was Mr. Rosenthal. 'i We seurried quickly to our spots, Miss White to guide us there, i By standing vigil at the door, of time she rnade us care. W The curtain slowly lifted, as his skillful hands were quick, ky 'l'herc, dinnning all the house-lights, we encountered Mr. Dick. C . On hand to sell us bonds and stamps, with pep talks to the east, W W For service on the home-front, Mr. Goldberg's not surpassed. Ur In charge of all publicity, the news, and gossip too, Our agent, Mrs. Griffin, gave the scoops to Taft's REVIEW. L. And when the boards on which we tread would cry out for repair, ,Q Equipped with nail and hammer, Mr. Palestrant was there. , We surely would be hindered by some deep financial woe, W' tx Were it not for Mr. Healy, who advised our strong GO. . We, who were in the spotlight, now extend our heartfelt praise, And to our gracious angels, we leave you all bouquets.

Diseousolately turning the corner and approaching the Boys' Cyni, we heard a wild ery of A'Charge! No. it wasnt 'l'eddy Roosevelt, but rather Mr. Strobel and Miss Edgerly in blue and gold striped tights, fencing. Sitting on a lngh stool was Mr. Dargo, the referee, taking bets froin Mrs. Syrop. who was egging Miss Edgerly on in Cernian, and Miss Cronin busily adding up her lllOlltl1'S betting expenses. Once more heartbroken at not finding Dr. Adonis, We headed for the auditoriuin and quite weary sank into seats. We could hear the strains of Chopin's I'1tude aptly being played by Mrs. Lewis. Sitting before her were Mrs. Sloane and Mrs. Ilarte pondering over their inconie tax returns. Suddenly, Mrs. Ilarte threw up her pen in exasperationg Oh, she sighed, this deducting for each of my students will take ine all day! VVe soon realized that just sitting there was useless so we picked up our bodies, shouted, Feet move! and shuffled out. XVe walked toward Mr. Brodie's office for one last try, but as we looked up, we stopped dead in our tracks. For there, before us, in red letters inserted in a glass ease was printed I. M. Adonis, U. S. Navy. We groaned hysterically and per- haps a little too loudly, for as Mr. Lieff walked by he said rather sternly, Girls, just because your fathers are opticians, you don't have to make spectacles of yourselves! And so, as reserved as possible, we walked out of the building feeling happy and in a strange way proud. NYC both agreed that it was really time for all Taft to ring out HA Bell for :Xdonis. 1-'u.-xNe1Ni: eoon:xr.xN, ISABICLLIC rrouowrrz
