The first of these was given at Thanksgiving time. It was Ten Minutes by the Clock, with a cast of Henry Feferman, Peggy Reed, Jeanette Lee, Samuel Gross, George Bergus, Walter East. Margaret Small, Evelyn Barrett and Kathryn Meyers. This comedy, coached by Nliss Knudson, was well received by the students. It was the story of a king and queen who lived in a palace away from everyone else. The queen becoming disconsolate, decided to leave the palace and her husband, the king, and go out in the world of adventure. However, when she heard and saw the troubles to which she would be subjected, she was very contented to stay inside the palace gates. The second of these plays was a cantata, Ye Olde Yuletide Concertef' directed by Nliss Ral- ston, who was assisted by Miss Knudson. This play was very successful and much en- joyed by the student body. The characters were as follows: George Bergus, who led the singingg Eleanor Alspaugh. a queer old lady, who was a I'I'hir visitor at the concerteg Jean Bennett, a nervous and lidgety creature: Louis Frederick, who found it hard to keep awakeg Robert Beyer. corporal of the regimentg -leanne Nlorris and Margaret Small. hostesses of the concerteg Clayton -lodan and Sara Carrel, two very proper Quakers. Maxine Helm and Mary Mattes each sang a carol. The cast was assisted by a special chorus of girls and boys who were: Margaret Albert, Paul- ine Plotkin, Dorothy Hutson.
