Drarnatics The dramatics of '26 and '27 equaled, and many cases, surpassed the dramatics of the preceding years. By the efforts of the English, the Art, the Physical Education, and the Music departments. the students of G. H. S. have presented quite a few plays which were very successful. On April 24 and 25, 1926, the Junior class presented a play entitled Dummy, a three act comedy by Ross Farquar. The cast included Robert Sink as Professor Walton: Cecile Troutwine as Mrs. Walton: Dorotha Hamilton as Margaret Walton: Ray Mannix as Curt Blair, otherwise known as Dummy : Jack Cornell as Jim Cameron: Gerald Teegarden as Samuel Hedges: Opal Foltz as Dorothy Barton: Leroy Alexander as Alaska: and Loretta Leonard as Sylvia, the maid. This was given under the direction of Miss Martha Murphy. Miss Bier aided with the stage decorations and Mr. Thomas contributed some orchestral numbers. The Department of Girls Physical Education presented, on May 14. 1926, a pageant, The Man in the Moon . This was arranged and directed by Miss Ceres Williams, physical director, who was aided by the music and art departments. The settings of the fourteen scenes in the pageant varied. They represented an Indian village, way out West in Kansas, an Italian Garden, Hong Kong, A Gypsy Camp-fire, the Emerald Isle, Winter in Russia, Under Southern Skies, An Artist's Dream in France, Sunny Spain, and Sidewalks of New York. g The cast consisted of about one hundred and eighty Junior and Senior High girls some of whom gave solo dances.
