dramatics THE SENIOR PLAY O ur first attempt at dramatics this year was that of the Senior play which took place Friday evening, March 31, 1922. The play chosen was “Mr. Bob,” with the cast as follows: Due to an accident to one of our Senior boys a week before the play, his part had to be taken by a Junior, who showed his skill as an actor by learning the part in a week. Vina McGahan took the part of an old aunt whose pet hobby was cats. Her house was filled with cats and she was suspected of having cats on the brain. Clifford Adcock was Aunt Becky’s young nephew, who was interested and became confused as to who “Mr. Bob ’ was. Roy Tod fitted his part well as a young inexperienced lawyer who was in¬ terrupted every time he said “I came down.” And for the most part very much abused. Francis Frates was a very dignified Jenkins who objected to Aunt Becky’s hobby for cats. He also was interested in the maid, Patty. Mary Moody impressed the audience with her sweet manner. She kept her cousin Philip Royson in the dark as to who “Mr. Bob” really was. Arcada Williams made a big hit as the maid. She constructed some clever mix-ups, such as filling a bag with cats instead of with clothes. Bernice Haehl was the friend of Katherine Rogers. She won the yacht race and proved to be “Mr. Bob.” The decided success of the play was due to Miss Dolson who showed her skill in training the cast. That same evening a very clever musical skit was given by the members of the girls’ singing class. Fifteen of them, dressed in their “Alice Blue Gowns,” sang the song by that name. Betty Bentley took the lead in this chorus and did it charmingly. THE MAY DAY PAGEANT The May Day Pageant was in the form of a melting-pot of the nations. The idea used was that of the School as the Melting Pot. Many nations were represented with striking costumes, which made a colorful scene. The repre¬ sentatives of each nation put on a song or a dance. After this the costumes were changed to American clothes and all sang “America the Beautiful.” The crowning of the Queen was the event of the day. Evelyn Cook made a very gracious queen to reign supreme over the fete. She was attended by four maids of honor, Lola Bell Hulbert, Mary Hiatt, Pauline Domine, and Alice Grace Yordi. There were other members of the queen’s court too numerous to mention. At night, during the Chamber of Commerce Minstrel Show, the “Alice Blue Gown Girls” once more appeared in their famous musical skit.
