,GM ' ,QWWMKM ,,,- 1 We, the illustrious class of 1914, near- ing the close of our last year in high school, feel it our duty to leave a recor-d of our originality, as it may be of some as- sistance to some of the less original class- es who will folow us. The year started with the Gypsy En- campmentf' This included all of the girls of the school, but the novel idea was the product of the ever busy brain of a Senior, Laura Moore. A few weeks later we gave a tacky party at the home of Ma- bel Jackson. We don't know whether or not this was the time Miss Benton under- stood Prof. McClure to be asking for a date, when he was only asking for an egg, but anyway they chaperoned us. The evening was spent in playing old fashion- ed games and toasting marshmallows in the grove. Virgil Lee and Letha McKee were entitled to the prize, for they cer- tainly were tacky. Just before Thanksgiving we surprised the whole school by appearing dressed as farmer lads and lassies, and entertained everyone in general by singing a song en- titled They All Say, the Seniors Ain't Got No Style. Another new feature that we added to the already long list of Senior events, was an Experience Meeting. About fif- teen Seniors, including the president of the class, took charge of chapel on that morning, and each gave a short talk on what ha-d meant the most to them in their school life. One fine morning at chapel the Faculty were privileged to see themselves as others see them, and of course they couldn't be made to believe it was as bad as the observant Seniors mad-e it. Other classes before us have copied the manners of the faculty, but never did anyone ven- ture to steal the very costumes of this mighty band. Of course we had unusual- ly good material, having several lovesick teachers to impersonate, but even under such circumstances, who but this original class would have thought of having a tin show-er at this time for the brides-to-be? Then this year in place of having an operetta as has been the custom for sev- eral years, we decided to revert to the out- of-the-ordinary again, so we presented the comedy Niobe, All Smiles, with Miss Henrietta Mitchell in the title role. The all star cast was as follows: Peter Amos Dunn-Harry Allen-ln business, Presi-dent of Universal Insur- ance Company. Cornelius Dunn-Clare Woodard-In love,with himselfg Peter's wife's brother. Philip Innings-Noel Mountjoy-In Corney's hands: Corney's friend. Hamilton Thompkins-Ralph Smalley -In the cloudsg an are enthusiast, a mil- lionaire. Parker Sillocks-Fred Taylor-In re- tirementg a merchant. Caroline Dunn-Ethel Scott-lndis- pensableg Peter's wife. Hattie Griffin-Laura Moore-In open rebelliong Caroline's youngest sister. l Beatrice Sillocks--Augusta Mitts-In love with Corneyg Parker Sillock's daugh- ter. Helen Griffin-Letha McKee-In au- thorityg Caroline's eldest sister. Mary-Mary Bruno-In service, par- lor maid. Madaline Mifton-Irene Mitchell-In the way, governess. , Niobe-Henrietta Mitchell--ln the flesh, widow of the late Amphion, King of Thebes, a statue. The members of the cast were especial- ly suited to the parts they played, and all were well drilled under the efficient di- rection of Miss Douglas, assisted by Miss Moore.
