WHO RAH!-- Such were the sounds that filled the Newark High School Building on Friday evening. May 5. Of course there was some competition from the other schools, but Granville showed pep and enthusiasm unsurpassable. The competition opened with the spelling contests, both the High School and the Junior Hi. The Granville High School ma-de a wonderful showing, spelling down every one except the prize winners. Special metnion should be made of Lewis Meares, Roberta Davis, and Lorna Jones. Real spirit was displayed in the Junior Hi when they sent forty contestants to Newark to compete in the art of spelling. A second prize was won by Margaret Thomas, but, having won first place last year, only honorable mention was given her. Ellen Rohrer was the winner of the third prize. The oratorical contest immediately following the spelling showed great talent in that line throughout the county. Granville's contestant, Eleanor Curtis, gave the other schools a hot battle for their places and, with the encouragement given her with the third place, a- great future for Granville Hi School is predicted in the oratorical for Puggy's remaining two years. The history prizes proved Granville's greatest joy. Adeline Sipe was the recipient of the only first prize given to Granville this year. Granville Hi won't soon forget the faithfulness and brilliant work shown by Adeline. Annabelle Ham- mond and Jere Ackley of the Junior Hi took second and third places in their his- tory contest. Now that the contest is over there will be another tense strain until Granville again has the chance to prove her true worth. Congratulations to all winners! THE EGYPTIAN PRINCESS On April 13, the Gir1's Glee Club pre- sented an operetta, The EEYPtian Prin- cess, at the Town Hall. The production showed quite unusual talent for a High School Glee Club and in every way excelled the operetta which was given last yearl The music of the Egyptian Princess, though very light and simple, contained some very lovely melodies and the harmony in the Hymn to Hathor together with the tableaux formed by the chorus. principals and priest- esses, made a very effective close to the Hrst act. The two choruses, the Trumpet Chorus and the Final Chorus, coming at the close of the second and last act, showed excep- tionally good work on the part of the chorus. The two principal parts, the Princess Aida and the Slave Girl Alvah, were taken very well by Mary McLain and Kathrine Rohrer, The solo and duet, Were I a Prince. was bright and lively-especially the fencing, they must have taken lessons from Douglas Fairbanks. The solo, With Joy My Thankful Heart Flows O'er, sung by Mary McLain, was one of the pret- tiest melodies in the entire work and was rendered very well with the exception of the parts in which the chorus chanted the Hymn to Hathor, the chorus might have sounded a little surer of their singing. Alvah's song , Ah, Strange Indeed the Webb of Fate, was sung by Kathrine Rohrer with feeling and displayed the lovely qualities of her voice. Mary Chesshir, in the role of Queen of Egypt. both looked and acted her part. Princess Tabubu, as played by Marion Ebaugh, furnished the greater part of the humor. She took the part of the spinster princess to perfection. Nyssa and Phila companions to Princess Aida-, better known to us as Alice Cook and Frances Rohrer, came in for their share of the fun. Their method of reading the signs of the future in a crystal bowl was unusually clever. Mayme Zetta Jackson, in the part of the real fortune-teller Herub, certainly looked and acted like the daughter of a wizard, her acting was remarkable. Queen Grania, the captive, was indeed a personification of pride and haughtiness. Eleanor Curtis, in this part, certainly did not forget that still I am a Queen. Her voice showed both duality and volume. The Slave dance by Eleanor Kurtz, was very Oriental and the posing was charming. Margaret Barber and Marjorie Stanton, from the college, gave a lovely flower dance just before the final chorus and we want to thank them for their kindness in helping us. A vote of thanks also goes to William Stuart and Stephen Tuttle, who helped us so much with the music. Much of the success of the oper-
