THE BLUE MOON Dmmrzizkf AVE you seen our Dramatic students perform? If not, you have missed some- thing really worth while. Miss Hess has to admit that we might be able to go on the stage in some other capacity than chorus girls-probably stage hands. Miss Hess, our patient and devoted teacher, started the year right by giving us some of her entertaining monologues. She is not only a teacher and actress, but also an authoress. The first appearance of the Dramatic class was a short sketch entitled, The End of the Rainbow. It is a lovely story of Pierrot, played by Margaret Taylor, Pierrette, Nlary Eleanor Stewart, and Will o' the Wisp, Edythe Rodgers. Anita Kaufman added more entertainment to the afternoon by giving a monologue, The Heart That Understands, in a very fascinating manner. In December the Dramatic pupils again came to the front by presenting A Little Fowl Play, which is the story of a poor playwright greatly in need of money and credit. The characters in the play were: the Englishman, Ann Timberlake, the play- wright, Charlotte Coles, his wife, Isabel Lay, the maid, Mary Eleanor Stewart, the delivery boy, Bessie Renkert. In February the audience was again held spellbound by the splendid acting in Gettin' Acquainted, a story of two New England spinsters who have had one suitor between them for fifteen years, because he is too bashful to ask the one he loves to marry him. Jane, the older of the sisters, Mary Eleanor Stewart, Priscilla, the timid sister, Eleanor Hall, John Purdy, the suitor, Anita Kaufman. On March 25th, for the benefit of the Year Book, the Dramatic Class again enter- tained by presenting two plays and two monologues. The first play was The Heart of a Clown, a story of Columbine and Harlequin. Columbine was played by Edythe Rodgers, Harlequin, Isabel Lay, Clown, Ann Timberlake, Gypsy Fortune-teller, Charlotte Coles. Between the plays monologues were given. The first was given by Eleanor Hall and was entitled Betsy. The other one by Mary Eleanor Stewart entitled, In the Sleeping Car. The second play was Booth Tarkington's Trysting Place. The story is a comedy which arises out of the clandestine meetings held' in a supposedly quiet spot in a hotel. Lancelot, Isabel Lay, is the young boy about eighteen years of age who is in love with a young widow, Mary Eleanor Stewart. Mrs. Briggs, Lancelot's mother, Edythe Rodgers, meets her former sweetheart, Char- lotte Coles, and is interrupted by her daughter Jessie, Eleanor Hall, who has returned to meet her forbidden suitor, Anita Kaufman. On June 3rd the Senior Class presented Seventeen We had known before that there was a great deal of talent in our school, but we did not fully appreciate it until after seeing the Senior play. The cast is as follows: Mrs. Baxter, Charlotte Coles, Mr. Baxter, Mary Ellen McLaughlin, Willie Baxter, Isabel Lay, Johnnie Wat- son, Anita Kaufman, Jane Baxter, Edythe Rodgers, May Parcher, Mary Eleanor Stewart, Lola Pratt, Eleanor Hall, Genesis, Virginia Handley, Joe Bullitt, Ann Holloway, Mr. Parcher, Carolyn Smedley, George Crooper, Margaret Taylor, Ethel Boke, Helen Whittier, Wallie Banks, Josephine Messer, Mary Brooks, Doro- thy Ledogar.
