55 -:- -:- -:- A--sf 1:-:+ if DRAMATICS E. U. H. S. originated a new idea in the school this year in the form of a vaudeville given by the Music and Dramatic Departments as a P.-T.A. Benefit. As their part of the program the dramatics class gave the clever one-act play, Love Letters, written by Jeanette Marks. The story deals with the life of a Welsh pastor and his struggle with the old traditions of his race. The critical moment in the play is when he elopes with one girl when he is about to be married to another, whom he does not love but dares not say so. Love Letters was well-done and quite different from the usual one- act play of the present day. The cast was as follows: Sampson Jones ................................ George Stiffler Dolly Morgan fthe widow, ................ Mary Slosson Jane Elin fpretty school-mistressl ........ Helen Green Ketwiah fSamson's ancient servant, ........ Pearl Kolb Deb fWidow Morgan's servant, ........ Alice I-lersey SENIOR PLAY A committee, a cast, a director, rehearsals, and presto! The Senior Play! The Annual Senior Play given to a full house May 3, l929 carried the audience from a London home of an English Peer to a desert island where the characters had been ship wrecked after a trip on the yacht. Lord Loam, a venerable old man and an aristocrat to the very tips of his gray hair, finds that on the island he is no longer ruler but that he and his three daughters and friends are ruled by their former butler, Crichton. The plot of the play shows that circumstances alter cases. So when they are again rescued and returned to their London home and their respective places in the great wheel of life, Crichton and Lady Mary, with the able cast. gave an unusual picture of an aristocratls tangles of character and their life when stranded in a place foreign to them, with the servants as their masters. Altogether the play was considered a success and the unusual settings and odd costumes created a great interest. CAST Hon. Ernest Wooley, the nephew ........
