' we Eramatira Glluh lilag THE TORCHBEARERS The Torchbearersf' a three-act play, was given during the first semester by the Dramatics Club. The players were coached by Miss Eunice Lowmaster and Mr. Frank McLane. The first act opens in the living room of Mr. and Mrs. Ritter's home. Mrs. Ritter, a very sensitive soul, has been asked by a certain dramatic society to take the place of one of the leading characters, whose husband has just died. The part of Mrs. Ritter was taken by Mildred Shearer and Mr. Ritter by Ed- ward Mitchell. Mr. Ritter is a somewhat cynical person and makes fun of his wife's attempts and dramatics. The cast comes to their home for their final rehearsal. Mrs. Pampinelli, the director of the play, is heard coming into the house and Mr. Ritter goes to his room. The part of Mrs. Pampinelli was played by Jane Crandall. The rehearsal finally ends after much confusion and little practice. The second act takes place behind the scenes on the night of the play. There is much noise and too many bosses, but the play finally comes to a close. The third act is again in the living room of the Ritter home. Mrs. Ritter has received many flowers, but Mr. Ritter, who has seen the play, does every- thing but congratulate her. He finds fault with her acting and makes fun of Mrs. Pampinelli. Mrs. Pampinelli, who has been hiding behind a piece of furniture and has heard the conversation, makes her appearance and sympathizes with Mrs. Ritter for having such an ungrateful husband. While they are thus talking the telephone rings and Mrs. Ritter is offered a position in a moving picture company. Mr. Ritter gives his consent but she refuses. The play ends happily. Others of the cast who played their parts in a very commendable way were: Jeanette Stevens, Margaret McCullough, Helen Overmyer, Helen Mattix, Tommy Bigley, Randall Houghton, Fletcher Strang, Anton Stuprich, and Clyde Mattox. 5 Page Fifty-mmf 9 Dail PPD DDQ DEQ DEQ P510 nga ?w uq,.kp.P-QP1'PLiq?.'l9g1'gXQP1N'f?'q2 sr

'P N Y V N V Srninr may ADAM AND EVA Adam and Eva was presented by the senior class on February 25. The play was directed by the class sponsors, Miss Lowmaster and Mr. McLane. The play opens with Mr. King, whose part was played by Randall Hough- ton, reading his morning mail which has just been brought to him by Corinthia, the maid. Corinthia was played by Alma Warner. The mail proves to be all bills and thus father is not in a very pleasant mood when Julie and Clinton en- ter. Julie and Clinton de Witt were played by Wilma Smith and Anton Stup- rich. The other members of the family consisting of Eva, the younger daugh- ter, and played by Helen Overmyer, and Aunt Abby, an elderly lady and the sister of Mr. King's late wife, played by Margaret Bolin, also find Mr. King to be in one of his first of the month moods. During the bill discussion he an- nounces to the family that they are to move to the farm and learn to make their own living by watching the chickens scratch for their living. A secret plot is formed with Dr. Delamater, played by Harry Baker, in which Mr. King was to be informed that he should take a long rest away from home. This plot was told to Mr. King by Uncle Horace, who had been snooz- ing in a chair where he had not been seen. Mr. King also forms a plot and calls his manager and his family together and introduces his family to their new father, Mr. Adam Smith. Uncle Horace was played by Donald Osborn and Adam Smith by Edward Mitchell. Adam finds the family to be a bunch of idle wasters. He decides to make them believe that Mr. King has gone broke and that they have to work for a living. Eva is having a party to announce her engagement to Lord An- drew Gordon, played by Tommy Bigley, when Mr. Smith announces Mr. King's failure in business. They immediately begin to look for jobs and gladly ac- cept Mr. Smith's suggestion that they move to the farm and raise chickens and bees. Eva breaks her engagement and they move to the farm. Mr. King returns to find them on the farm with a prosperous business and informs them that they are still wealthy and that the ruin has been a fake. Eva and Adam decide that they will be married and live like good old-fash- ioned country folks. 9 Q Pauu Fifty-nlm IQDQU PUD DDQ Daw prim pcgq algo pmqgrg D1P7T QPl'5'1q'4 P-1 iQl'1q':Qp '
