THE REF I. ECTOR CLIFTON HIGH SCHOOL FEBRUARY S 2 7 The Orchestra chestra. The concluding number was a recitation entitled “Grandma’s Soliloquy’’ by Eleanor Pedersen, also in costume. Everyone did his best to please the audience, and this assembly was a success. On Monday, December 21, the play “The Stubborn Couple” was given. Preceding this was an address by Warren Piaget of the 4-1 class, in which he gave to the people assembled in Mrs. Grammer’s room several valuable points concerning the choosing of a play, the managing of the try-outs, and producing the play. In the play, Grace Atkins and Fain made the stub- born English couple. Damiano and Weiss were awe-inspiring Dick Tunpins, and Hammersma as a Wamba left nothing to be desired. All the spectators were delighted and hope that other plays will follow. Here's to the Dramatics Club! Long may it act! Eleanor Pedersen, June ’28. OUR GYM WORK Probably no phase of school life has made such rapid strides in the past two or Hire - months as our physical training activities. To be sure, this would not be possible with- out our new modern gymnasium, equipped with up to date apparatus. Put no doubt we’ll all agree that our new instructor, Mr. Donnelly, has been the great moving force. His alert figure and snappy commands call forth the best that we can produce. Mr. Donnelly doesn’t mind rolling on the floor in a white shirt in or- der to give us exhibitions of his gymnastic skill. He delivers many valuable thirty second speech- es on the why and wherefore of various gym- nastic topics. It is his delight to entertain us with his vocabulary of stunts and tricks, not to say anything of the Irish and Yiddish folk dances. The work is made very interesting by such leadership, and I am sure every fellow takes pleasure in working with Mr. Donnelly. Very few are seen straggling in after the bell; rather, all make it their business to get as much recrea- tion as possible in the forty minutes—sometimes stretched to forty and seven eighths.
