Immediately after the play the seats were removed from the assembly room and the students with their friends and severalmembers of the faculty honored us by joining in a social dance. A most delightful time was enjoyed by everyone and the memory of the gaily decorated hall, the brilliant lights, and the waxed floor will long remain with us as one of . the most pleasant features of our school- life. Several ping-pong tables were placed in the lower hall for those' who preferred this kind of amusement. But the crowning event of the evening came at supper-time when the hungry dancers took their way to the lunch-room. This had been transformed into a veritable fairyland by the skilful fingers of a com- mittee who had labored incessantly since early morning. The long tables were decorated with tiny Christmas trees, cut- flowers and candelabras while the num- erals of '03 gleamed out from the many wreaths and festoons which 'completely concealed the walls. After a tempting repast the guests returned to the upper regions and danced until the early hours of morning when they departed express- ing their satisfaction at the delightful time they had enjoyed and looking forward to the Christmas socials of the future.

' Shakespeare was discarded on this occa- sion and f'Pygmalion and Galatea,' a mythological comedy in three acts by W. S. Gilbert was the bill. The change proved to be a popularone and the names of Pygmalion and Galatea and theiGlass - of '03 will forever be classed in the long list of successful theatricals presented in the school. The dra.matis personas called for ten characters and the proper ones had been selected to fill the parts. Too much can not be said in praise of the careful and finished manner in which the actors pre- sented the different roles. lt showed hard work in preparation from the moment that the curtain- went up until it fell at the close of the last act the players held the attention of the audience. As Pygmalion, an Athenian sculptor, the fine stage appearance and excellent voice of Locy Talmadge Coddington, to whom the brunt of the heavy work fell, carried him through admirably. His lovemaking with Galatea during the absence of his wife, Cynisca, was very natural even for ancient Greece. Richard Kidney as Leucippe, in love with Myrine, was 'a typical Grecian soldier and his rough ways were the cause of great worry on the part of the innocent Galatea. His natural manner of handling his part earn- ed for him the plaudits of the audience. The animated statue, Galatea, as por- trayed by Eleanor Marie Glanville was most artistically done. It-was the opinion of the best critics present that a more fin- ished piece of acting and a more charm- ing impersonation of Galatea it would be

10 zfiicys IN BLA OK AND WHITE- THE CHRISTMAS RHETORICAL. Hli Friday preceding Christmas, ISPOZZ, was an eventful day for the Classot UI3. The program was carried out with our usual success and plainly displayed the fact that the Class of '03 fully equalled its predecessors in tallellt and ability for rhetorical and dramatic work. The program was divided int-O three parts, the rhetorical in the morning the play in the evening and later the Social and dance. 'ru ic Rl-I 1Q'ro1i1cAL. The rhetorical in the morning was one ot' the hest ever given at the High School. The assembly-rooin ha.d been prettily dec- orated with holly and ever-green and an unusually large number of former gradu- ates were present. The pupils opened the exeiicises with a Christmas Carol after which the nieinorial window of the Class of '02 was unveiled and presented to the school by Alec Drunnnond, president of that class. In behalf of the Board of Ed- ucation, Judge George B. Turner accepted it and spoke concerning the great success attained by the athletes of the class in various college contests. As the Class of '02 was pre-eminent, on this account, the window itself is a symbol of the fact and stands as an emblem of their victories. The turning point in the arena is represent- ed i11 the center while the laurel-wreaths and palm branches have their own signif- icance. But it seemed this was destined to be a day rich in gifts for the High School for two other windows were placed at the rear of the platform, and are aigreat addition to the adorninent of the assem- bly-room. These were purchased with funds that are in the hands of the the Art Coinmitt-ee. During the morning the High School tjrchestra rendered sev- eral selections and Herbert VVO0d Sells 3- solo. The remainder of the program COU- sisted' of declamations and recitations. Last, but not least, among the events of the morning was the presentation of a handsome gavel to our president. THE PLAY. In the evening, t'The Cool Collegiansfl a comedy in two acts was presented under the direction of Miss Lamey, before an audience that comfortably filled the large assembly hall. The different roles were well taken and rounds of applause greeted the actors. The title of the play suggests its nature-it was in every sense collegian. The curtain arose on a student's room fil- led with a crowd of merry collegians singing a medley of college songs. As the play was not one in which the players could contend among themselves who should be the star, it is rather a hard matter to make a very sharp criticism. But, withstanding all this, Kennard Un- derwood as Harry Meredith and Julia Anderson as Mrs. Huntoon would prob- ably be selected by the most careful critic as the two out of the bunch who showed up particularly brilliant. Of course, they had the more important parts and natur- ally enough they did the best acting. The amusing combination of young Har- ry's ever-present power of getting out of his pranks and Mrs. Huntoon's innocence took exceedingly well with the audience. 'ln closing it may be said that evervone did their howling succes f view. b9S'U, which made the farce a. s rom all standpoints of THE CAST.

The costuining, the stage settings and the make-ups were so artistic that the audience, even old Alumni, went away., remarking that never before had the High School stage' looked so charming, The good work of the High School orchestra and the Glee Club contributed in no small way to the pleasure of the evening.
