SENIOR CLASS PLAY The Novel Princess, starring Virginia Fratila and LeRoy Drews, directed by Mrs. Ivan Fitch, was presented at the gymnasium May 13 and 14 by the Senior Class. The production is a romantic farce with several musical numbers and proved to be a great success. Sonia, Princess of Danzibar, has become en- amored of American ideals and men through read- ing American novels. Finding herself a rebellious pawn in affairs of State, she attempts to flee the country, abetted by the American book-salesman and her favorite Lady-in-Waiting. The entire Court is thrown into consternation. The country is in an uproar. International complications de- velop. American tourist trade, chief source of revenue for Danzibar throughout the depression, . is in confusion. Arac, the Lord Chancellor, promptly thrown a military cordon about the city, and Sonia is trapped within it, almost in the very shadow of the palace walls. In her disguise as a scullery maid she would have been safe mdefinite- ly, but her own tumultuous nature flings her from one complicated situation into another. Then she falls in love, with riotous results. The plot is swift, tense, full of sudden surprises. The lines are modern, sparkling, witty, yet the tone of royalty has been preserved even in the most farcical situation. Suspense is sustained, mounting to the last curtain. The play has color, glamour, mystery, romance, action.

These good men the school board hires; We know their names as Cooney and Jim, And they ' re full of fun, clear to the brim. They find our love letters and many notes, They walk up the halls to hang up our coats. They mow the lawns and they sweep the walk. While the rest of the mob just laugh and talk. Now who do you think these famed men are. Oh! Can ' t you guess? Conrad Schomberg and James Ray. Page 2}

;j A • , .-o Our school-sponsored clubs, parties, and social functions form an important part of the balanced school system. Personality, that indefinable some- thing which sets every man apart from his fellows, is created and developed by these activities to an extent not available elsewhere. They give training in leadership, cooperation and in the various social graces. Although these activities are not widely thought of as connected with education, they have an invaluable place in the up-to-date school life. Paxe 25
