Glass $lay By GERTRUDE OERTEL Schoolroom Scene Of the scenes which were portrayed in the class play, the one shown above occasioned many enthusiastic comments because of its reality. QUALITY STREET by James M. Barrie Pleasant memories of a successful class play produced on April 25 and 26, will long remain in the minds of the June seniors. The only sorrow that shadowed the production was the fact that Miss Perkins, our director, lay ill in a hospital, the sickness that led to her death a week later. Our associate director, Miss Vivian Webster, with the assistance of Mr. E. Edward Green, coached the cast to a flying- finish. For this the seniors give their thanks. The story, Quality Street , was centered around the lives of two sisters, residents of Qual- ity Street, who feared they were oh the verge of spinsterhood. Aglaia Angelopolos charm- ingly portrayed the character of Miss Phoebe Throssel, the best prospect of the two for mar- riage, while Mildred Grossman, as her sister, was excellent in her part as Miss Susan Thros- sel. Edmund Phillips, as Valentine Brown a soldier of the Napoleonic period, was the hero of the play. Prying old maids interested in Throssel affairs were played by Lilly Buschatsky as Miss Fannie Willoughby, Georgianna Ami, as Miss Mary Willoughby, and Freda Brill as Miss Henrietta Turnbull. Frances Snoddy as Miss Charlotte Parratt was still hopeful of stealing the heart of some young man, such as Ensign Blades, ably portrayed by Richard Hill. Other characters to be praised were Clayton Nichols as recruiting sergeant, Marguerite Johnson, Patty the hopeful and cheerful maid, Robert Bottin as Spicer, Harry Einstandig, a sarcastic old soldier, and Wayne Shives as a gallant gentleman, plus those who took part in the schoolroom scene and the ladies and gentle- men at the ball. The main struggle of the characters was that of Phoebe to win back the love of Valentine Brown when he returned from a victorious Napoleonic war and found his former sweet- heart faded and old. Miss Phoebe through a mistake was forced to carry out the character- ization of a non-existent niece , Miss Livvy. Through clever motivation of the plot, however, Phoebe learned that Valentine still loved his old sweetheart in spite of her wrinkles and gray hair. In praising the participants in our senior event we must not forget the loyal workers behind the scenes. Mr. Lewis Finch with his stage crew chairman, James Miller, and other assistants carried on the backstage man- agement without which the play could not have been produced. Other members of the faculty and student body whose splendid cooperation was of great importance were Mr. A. L. Weigler and his woodworking class, for their efficient work, Miss Violet Beck and her assistants on the costume committee, Miss Anna T. Schaefer, wild was in charge of designing and making the costumes, Miss Arda Knox as business manager, Miss Elizabeth Hodges, in charge of publicity in city newspapers, and Miss Helen Haynes and her Salesmanship II class for the advertising of Quality Street. ♦ $ ♦ $ $ + $ ♦ J+ $ ♦ ■ • ♦ J ♦ ♦ ■ J $ ♦ I jSt » ♦ «■ »: A.UAA ► ♦ A J ♦ ♦ ♦ J $» ♦ ♦ « J J» ♦ » + J» J J »J» J J $» «• $ « ♦£• ♦$ ♦$♦ ♦$• EIGHTEEN

R. Clayton Roll Room Teacher Mrs. Ada M. Bing Ivy Day Sponsor Mrs. Hazel Dorman Class Day Sponsor OUR FAREWELL WISH If we seniors would look back a year to re- call how odd it seemed to us then to be moving into a new roll room, especially such a large one with so many occupants- we would probab- ly be astonished. For now, 135 has become as familiar to us as an old friend because of the fun and common interests that ha c been shar- ed there. It is true that sometimes that roll room was assumed to be only a place to which we were forced to report during the third period. Gradually, perhaps a trifle subconsciously, we began to realize that 135 was our individual home room, belonging only to us. From the time of that realization we all secured more en- joyment from the senior class as a unit. With the vain wish that we could in some way keep the 135 roll room ours after we have left Manual, we relinquish its possession, and will it, if we may, to all approaching seniors, and to our faithful, forebearing leaders, Mr. Clayton and Miss Knox. FOUR YEARS ' RESULTS It is to be expected that when we, the sen- iors, graduate from Manual, we should feel that we have accumulated a considerable amount of knowledge. However, we do not realize at the time, perhaps, that anything unused will stiffen to incapable rigidity, a fact that applies to knowledge as well as to bones of the body. Now the question arises as to how we can use our knowledge so that it will not lose its value. By continuing to satisfy an urge to further learning is the only way in which education can be kept alive. Nourishment can be given it not only through continuing our training in higher institutions, which a limited number are able to do, but also through the everyday reading of books, current magazines, and newspapers. Once provided with the desire to acquire more of an education we have ample ordinary means for supplementing natural intelligence. Therefore- we have no right to boa.st of knowl- edge gained thus far unless we intend to retain it by obtaining more through our own efforts, with the added purpose of fulfilling that inten- tion. MANUAL, WE SAY ADIEU With the thought of our imminent departure from Manual ever present with us, we June seniors wish to express the ideas that have been suddenly crystallized into form. Oddly enough we believe that we shall never entirely take leave of this school that we have attended for four years, both because we shall retain a great deal of the Manual spirit embodied in all that is re- membered of our schooling, and because we hope we shall have willed our accomplishments to the long recognition of future students. Thanks for all the benefits we have reaped, and which we intend to retain, from our four v ears ' stav! ..♦•AAA. A A A A A A A A A A ».» .« » 4 » 4 » » 4 « » A « • ■ • « » , •fVTTTT ' SEVENTEEN
