ANNUAL PLAY DAY The biggest event of the school year for the girls of Edison is the Play Day program which is presented by the girls' physical education department. Friday, May 16, was the date of this year's Play Day, and from 1 o'clock until 3, every person on the faculty and in the student body was on hand either to take part in or to watch the festivities. All the bleachers were full, the band played, the ice cream and candy vendors did their stud, and no one could doubt that it was a red letter day. Even the sun did his best to be present. The band in excellent fashion started off the program by marching in uniform around the field while they played El Capitan March. The second number was a Summons by the Spirit of Athletics, done by three fine dancers, Dorothy Remy, Ruth Suman, and Betty Price. In answer to this sum- mons a large group of Edisonites came upon the field with canes and caps of blue and gold and stepped oif the Dance of the Dandies. The Pirates of the Pirate Dance dazzled the eyes of the onlookers when they revealed a great store of treasures in a mysterious chest. They were in striking Pirate costumles, and did their part very well. The Balloon Dance and the Dance of the Dolls were by the girls of Miss Packard's classes, both dances being done by large groups. Pearl Beach led the little girls in pink rompers who did the waltz clog. Kamarinskaia, a Russian dance, presented an unusually at- tractive event. The girls in this dance were trained by Miss McDowell, and their costumes were among the best of the day. Jack Be Nimble, another dance by Miss McDowell's girls, was done in a truly nimible fashion. The costumes in this event were very clown-like and cute. Happy Days Dance by Mrs. Huxtable's girls, and the Irish Lilt by Miss Wind- ham's girls won considerable applause. The Irish costumes were particularly pretty. Th! biggest group event was the Dumbell Drill exe- cuted by the girls of Mrs. Wilsey's classes in truly excellent form. Their accuracy and absolute uniformity looked almost like a West Point drill to us. The Stunts, Human Hurdle, Indian Club in Circle, Cart- wheel, Zig Zag, Tire and Sack, and other stunts, races and games were under Miss Connell's direction. The girls in these events wore colored arm bands representing the classes to which they belonged, and the results were re- ported in track meet form. The A7's won! Page One Hundred and Thirty-one
