The moment arriveseemusic faint at first and lmecoming louder reveals with it a woodland scene with a gypsy fire and a carefree gypsy prince and his hand. As the title of the OPCFEIIZI suggests, this gypsy hand has a quest, which further revealed, is that of securing a cook! The part of the gypsy prince was ably and realistically enacted hy Manzanetta Trautman, who assumed the difficult task of portraying the masculine role. The scene changes- due to the unexpected appearance of another hand, this one being of the fairer i?l sex. These young ladies, members of a cooking school and desirous of spending a week in the open as gypsies, much to their delight come upon the camp. This group of girls was most attractive in their costumes of many colors, each one speaking or acting her particular part with individuality and enthusiasm. S0

Glee Club oL'R YEARs Arno a small group of girls met, under the leadership of Mr. Meyers, as the first Glee Club of Christ Hospital. lt grew steadily and a plan of organization was necessary. lfach year a chairman is elected who takes charge of all the activities. ln 1930 Mr. Meyers was no longer able to be with us. Since that time Mr. Durr has ably taken over the leadership. Cnr Glee Club has continued to grow these four years until it has an enrollment of about thirty girls interested in music, who meet in the gym on every Monday night. Each year we endeavor to participate in the activities of the county and community churches who are interested in Christ l-lospital. This includes booth festivals, playlets, chapel services, the annual meeting of the Elizabeth Gamble Deaconess Association, and commencement exercises. Christ Hospital feels fortunate in having a musical director who is willing to give so much time to us. mH I-ILEN PHILLI Ps, '34, 79

The thought of a chaperon on this expedition was not overlooked, as the girls were well-reminded of the importance of the same by the descriptive song, Sailing, as sung by Evelyn Schroder and the chorus. Several clever dancing features added much to the gayety of the production. No entertainment would be quite complete Without its bit of humor, which in this instance was most cleverly portrayed by Frances Brown as the typical Country Boy with his riddles and shyness. The would-be gypsies seemed much attracted and the fortune teller of the band did her share by attracting him with her prediction of a happy future and fame, as told in the song, The lfortune Teller, expres- sively sung by hlary Anderson. As an expression of gratitude for the good fortune our Country Boy extends an invitation to the girls to the farm, with a promise of a good stock of victuals. Ruth Garringer, in the part of Isabelle, who has been left along in the camp, begins exploring. Her reward is that of sufficient ingredients for a rare bit. All goes well, the gypsy prince returns and, much to his delight, rinds his cook. Our Country Boy once more is seen and announces his claim for the fortune teller, and the remainder of the XVould-be Gypsy Band are well claimed by the followers of the Gypsy Prince.
