Expression Department Wlien God conceived the world, that was Poetry, He formed it and that was Sculpture, He set it in motion and that was Music, He colored it and that was Painting, He peopled it with living beings and that was the grand, divine, eternal Drama. -Charlotte Cushman. TI-IIS year the Expression Department has been under the direction of Helen M. Rumsey, a graduate of the National School of Oratory, Phil- adelphia. Miss Ruinsey is well known throughout the State both for her ability as a reader and her efficiency as an instructor. Her charming and mag- netic personality have proven an inspiration to all the girls with whom she has come in contact. The number taking expression this year has materially increased and the quality of the work accomplished is creditable both to instructor and pupils. Our Tuesday morning period affords an opportunity for the girls to display their talent, either by the reading of an appropriate selection or the occasional rendering of a play. The work done by the two Seniors, Lillie Hol- brook and Bessie Neighbor, is worthy of special in- terest. Each graduate has given three informal recitals, one hour was devoted to story telling, one 19 to the reviewing of a book and one to the reading of a play. The Expression course is one of the niost at- tractive offered in the curriculum. Already Miss Riunsey is planning an exceedingly helpful and in- teresting schedule for the Fall semester. It is hoped a large number of the girls next year will avail themselves of their opportunity and following the advice of Shakespeare, learn to suit the action to the word, the word to the action. Miss Rumsey:- Close your eyes, girls, and tell nie what you see when l mention a word. 'The- atre., H - Gladys :- Lady Macbeth in the sleep walking scenef, Alma :- I saw between the acts. Helen Harris faints UIQ in French class. Ask Mrs. Cantril how many times she has gone down the hall to sit 011 someone only to find that it was some faithful soul practicing her voice culture. Margaret Wilson fbeginning her reading at a receptionj :-'tMy kind hostess has asked me to read something this afternoon. I hardly know what to recite but- A voice from the crowd :- Oh, my dear, just recite anything, we don't mind.
