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

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 Faculty-East Game N Friday, March tlth, the most unique game 01' the slason was played at O selmul,ethat 0f the Students vs. Faculty. The huge family of East was gathered in the gym for one 01' the most spectacular events ever held here. Imagine the surprised shunts amt nnsnmn'essetl laughter from the students at seeing their dignified instructors emne into the gym all dressed up in ttheadaehe bandeaux, long dangling earrings. and very colorful banttanas. To see Miss Shumal'tl, with a huge plume stuck in her hair, mine prancing in with Miss llnpson. who was intlustriuusly pmvtlering her nose before a large mirror in her vanity ease. was tun much for the shocked students. The gym elesely rivaled Hilarity llall when the Faculty players came on. Mr. Peoples was dressed in overalls, jacket, and straw hat. The costume of Mr. Webster was very beemning to one of his nature, and that 01' Mr. Router very lininggsu mueh so that he had a hard time getting out of it in time to play the game. The bit of laughter -ausetl by the faculty was slit'irt-livetl in comparison with what followed. T0 the st 'ains 0f Chopiifs Hanetal March? came the procession of students carrying Mr. Penplets eotiin. George, Stey'artl made an admirable preacher, amt his eulogy 0f ttWall Peeps't y'as sitle-sptitting. ttWaltts Widow deserves emmnemtaliun as a pantomime actor. Those were some t-ai's ttshe shed. We almost thought we werentt going to have a game, when some of the t'aehers protested against letting their l'iail, studious pupils play against such rough players as the faenlty of East. And when Charlie Batter read a telegram signed by Warren G. Harding announcing the ineligibility of Mr. Peoples because he was only an assistant principal instead 01' a teacher, we thought everything was all off. The faenlty t'ollltltfl play without Mr. Peoples, because he was their star forward. There was quite a niix-up, too, when it was fonml that Coach VValke's wife had not given him permission to play. However, they linally settled all disputes and decided to play the game, and therets where the students showed their superiority. ttTiIne out was called more than once so the faculty team could gets its breath. The students played such a fast and furious game that the faculty didnlt stand a show. Even the seore-keepers eouldnlt keep up with the number of baskets made by our illustrious players. The seure should have been about 74 to 20 but the score hoard only registered 42 to 26 for the students. The outstanding flatures 0f the game were the songs sung by faculty headed. by Miss Grove, and the Dance. of the Two Flat Irons by Dean King. And we must not forget Miss Stoehr, resplendent in George Steward's orange tTiger Shirt. The whole progtain y'as wett-planned weeks ahead of time, and offered the best opportunities for a closer intimacy between students and faculty of which iaeh and all of us took the best ad 'antage.
