if A 1 ,N 19 EXETER HIGH SCHOOL YEAR BOOK 38 BENEFIT DANCE On November 6, 1937, a benetit dance was held at the Town Hall, sponsored by the members of the football squad, Coach Knox and Mr. McBride. Many of the boys in the school helped by selling tickets. The cause was further aided by donations from several townspeople. A substantial sum was raised for Joe Mazurka, a senior, who received a very bad knee injury in the first football game of the season. Music for the dance, which was a great social success, was furnished by Art Rock and His Orchestra. After the accident, all of the boys on the squad who wanted to could take out insurance against injury on the playing field. The cost was divided equally among the boy, the Ath- letic Association and the School Board. CLAUDE DORMAN. JUNIOR HIGH CHRISTMAS PARTY For several years at the annual Christmas party for Classes I and II it has been the cus- tom for pupils of Mrs. MacNabb's English classes to present a short play. This year before the Christmas recess, Knights of the Holy Treasure was presented, a venture of a serious sort. The time was the present and the scene a winter garden. Dr. Hexin, an old-fashioned doctor, who had long been a knight, was well portrayed by Edwin Collishaw. A newspaper man, a fantastic caricature of the newspaper, was played by Winslow Kent. Lewis Churchill and Thomas Lung appeared as Phillippe, a modern youth, who became a knight, and De- landia, a modern girl. The three judges were Real Frechette, Robert Light and Orville Cunningham. Statues of the three Wise Men which came to life and spoke were posed by john Bernier, Hunter Lees, and Carleton McWilliams. Robert C. Smith, Roger Higgins, Joseph Boutwell and Robert Schur, dressed as ballet dancers, were snow fairies, Raymond McReel, Robert F. Smith and joseph St. Amour, similarly dressed, were star fairies. French pupils, under the direction of Miss Bruton, sang carols. A solo was sung by William Carney of Class I. ANNUAL SCHOOL SHOW In 1916, the first High School Show, a musical and vaudeville performance, under the direction of Mr. Maro Brooks, then superintendent of schools, was enacted in the Ioka Theatre, to raise funds to help pay for the grand piano now used in the Main Room of the school. The following year the boys joined with the girls of the Robinson Seminary to pre- sent an operetta in the Town Hall. Then in 1918, Miss Katherine McGovern, a member of the faculty at that time, drilled the boys in a musical comedy, and in 1919 Mr. McBride, now head of the mechanic arts department, became a member of the general committee and has, ever since, taken an active part in directing the shows and in looking after the financial de- tails. That same year, also, Mr. Rowe started as musical director. Miss Ford and Miss Conant, when they became members of the teaching staii of the school, also became members of the directing committee and, with Mr. McBride, have been in charge of the show annually. The proceeds go into a general fund used for the various activities in extra-curricular work of the school, although in recent years, it has been necessary for the committee to donate the greatest part of it to help maintain athletics. A committee is appointed in November to select a play suitable for a large cast of boys. Then a committee nnds music for the type of play, characters and for young male voices. 15' '
