The Christmas Play HE play, tt An t7nweleome Christmas Present, given before the school at T Christmas time x'us undoubtedly one 01' the most creditable Senior under- takings. Martha Slusser, th t author, deserves the highest p 'aise for her work, unit the Senior Class proudly claims hr as its playwright. There were others also who gained fame through the performance of it, for the 'ztst x'as exeellent. Fred Johnson as Raynmml Carteret was all that his part as a mmlern ynung man called for. Dorothy Turpen in the role of an orphan dis- played smite gmul ueting and vas lovely besides. Lysle Drake and John Baehman, us Raymond's futhe ' and mother, successfully managed to hide their youth for the me 'asion anal mzule excellent parents for their HRaymond dear. A splendid bit of eharzietei actingI was; portrayed by Charles Pt'eittier, us an Irish ttman of all work. Mary Vollrath, Betty Mulliken. and Ben liner, all splendid in their parts, completed the east. A great part of the success of the play was due to Miss Aldrich, who, with her knowledge of ti tumutie :trl, certainly broujrht out the best in every member of the 'zlst. XVe hurtl-wnrketl students would surely be grateful for mum more per- t'nrmunees as pleasant as our Christums play proved to he. DOROTHY DENNIS. A Grade Party N the twenty-tirst 0f Itlehruury, the A tirade Class held its annual party and 0 dance in the girlst gym. XVill wonders never eease'? After waiting SO long for that eventful day, it came so suddenly that we werx almost unprepared. Ask the committee! But by three deloek the gym was titled with smiling Seniors, adorned with George Washington hatehets, cherries, tlags, 21ml shields, which they later matched to tind their partners for the grand march. These dignitied people were en- tertained by an equally dignified minnet presented by Miss Taylnrts Daneing Club. Miss Ruth Simllinger sang seven! very quaint songs, making us justly proud of our :leemnplislmtl senior. The voull ettturts of Messrs. Ioplan, Arnold, Berne, und Bauer Were very much appreciated for the humor contained therein. Several circles were conducted to the strain of a six-pieee orchestra and the gurgling of fruit puneh. The conductor vats George Stevard, as he was easily seen and hiard ubnve every nne else. Even the tlaehers enjoyed tossing the multicolored serpentines, whieh ttttthtl quite :1 bit to the spirit of the party and t0 the festivities ot' the oe'asinn. livery nne seemed to have hurt a wonderful time, and the fact was proven by the emptiness of the punch bowls and take trays.

The Kalidasa Stunt Party N November twenty-seeontl each Kalidasa member brought a junior girl to O the famous ttstuntt; party, which was given in order to arouse the interest of the juniors, who are to be the members next year. The program was arranged very cleverly. The scene represented a Friday afternoon entertainment in a little country school house, where all the pupils ttshowed off before their mothers. In this case the seniors were the young scholars and the juniors were the audience. Margaret Wentzel ably interpreted the part of the little old maid school teacher, much to th - amusement of all those present. Mary Vollrath was the ubaby ot' the class and was incessantly getting in the way of the teacher. A clever song of the sad story of Romeo and Juliet was sung by Ruth Reeves and Virginia Heuket. followed by many other interesting little. acts and jokes. The climax of the afternoon y'as reached when baskets of 'tall day suckersty were brought in. School was tinally dismissed and the infantile seniors again donned their dignity and saunterett home, hoping that the juniors had enjoyed the afternoon as much as their hostesses had. And with each one, whether junior or senior, went a feeling of gratitude for the privilege of attending dear old East High. instead of a itlittle. red school house on a hill. boats titt-tFUtth. A-D Party AST Highk social season was ushered in by the senior girls when they gave E their annual party for the freshmen girls on October 13, 1922. And it was quite a party. But why go into detail about it? If you were there you know what a good time you had, and, if you werentt, every one told you what you missed;ebut just a word about the entertainment. All the senior girls went tirst to the auditorium where they each met their three freshmen tttittle sisters? A mock trial was held, and some of the more frivolous Ht'reshies, accused of different offenses during the year, were tried. To see dignified Ruth Reeves as judge of the Supreme Court questioning these almost petrified freshmen y'as enough entertainment in itself. The greater part of the afternoon was given over to dancing in the girls gymnasium. And how they danced! Alt, old and young, tall and tiny, seemed to enjoy it thoroughly-wand, of course, that was the point of this Hget acquainted party. Bta'r'rr MU LLIKIN. The B-A Party EVER before in the history of East High has the senior class enjoyed a party N as much as the one which the juniors gave in their honor, on the last Thurs- day in April. The gymnasium vas draped with orange and black bunting together with many novel decorations in the eorners and stair 'ays, The junior committee was very considerate in Choosing its music, and so in order that every B and A grader would be able to participate in the festivities, an orchestra led by Jimmy Tull was secured from the University of Cincinnati. It seemed as if nothing had been forgotten; some played games, others danced, and the teachers had their waltzes, but there were refreshments for everyone. We may say without any hesitation that this has marked a precedent for the many other classes whieh will pass through Old Easlf, 129
