(S)nr fSomn, pua” A three act play, “One Room, Plus,” was given by the Senior Class on March 18. The cast consisted of six characters: Fred Carmichael, Mau- rice McClane; Julie, Fred’s wife, Dorothy Garrett; John Carmichael, Loren Schoel; Mollie, John’s wife, Sylvia Soukup; Dad Carmichael, Harvey Robb; Barbara McCord, Annabelle Howell. John Carmichael married a woman whom he could dominate. Julia. Fred’s wife, was fond of luxury and a gay life. The two families quarrel- ed over their manner of living, and Dad, the peacemaker, tried to bring them together again, which he finally accomplished. Barbara McCord a girl of the independent type, furnished many new ideas on the rights of women. Howard Leyda who was to take the part of John Carmichael, was taken ill just before the presentation of the play, so Loren Schoel took the part. Loren is to be commended for his work, as he was not given his part until the week before the play was given. “Green Stockings”, a three act play was given by the Junior Class on April 29. The scene of the play was laid in England, and the plot dealt w.th the adventures of Celia Faraday, who had to wear a pair of green stockings at the wedding of a “much younger” sister. Celia had already worn the colored hosiery once and this time resolved to escape the observ- ance of the custom. How Celia did this and yet built up a romance of her own was as cleverly revealed in the three acts of high class comedy. The cast of characters was as follows: Admiral Grice, Quinn Doane; William Faraday, Orrin Heath; Colonel Smith, Bill Kellogg; Robert Lar- ver, Robert Sanderson; Henry Steele, Walter Schwind; James Raleigh, Eldon Brackett; Martha, Esther Larson; Celia Faraday, Betty Ulm; Mrs. Rockingham, Audrey Hodsdon; Lady Trenchard, Annette Martin; Phyllis, Carmella Peterson; Mrs. Chishold Faraday, Marguerite Lipertowitz. “The Maid of Tokyo,” a musical comedy, was presented by the high school, on December 10. Miss Evelyn Barnes, an American girl, born in Japan and whose parents died of fever, is brought up a Japanese maiden. Her father’s secretary uses her property for his own. When Evelyn is about eighteen, Worthington returns to Japan on his yacht with a party of American friends. One of them, Jack, falls in love with Cherry and wishes to marry her, but Kokemo, who has brought her up as his own daughter, wants her to marry Togo. The action of the play centers around Jack's effort to outwit Togo and Kokemo. Eventually Cherry learns her true identity, comes into her own property and marries Jack. “(6rmt tur kings” T wenty-five
