The play developed around Konrad, a gypsy boy who had been adopt- ed by American parents. The scenery, painted by E. J. W. Burston, was of unusual interest. A service station, a gypsy encampment and a dream setting appeared consecu- tively. (16)

Mrs. Burston has been faculty adviser; Miss Carpenter, supervisor of typing. The Board of Education continued its policy of financing the paper, so one of the problems which usually makes such a publication difficult, has never been faced by the local staff. The staff of 1940-41 approached more nearly the goal of a paper “of the students, by the students, for the students.” It realizes that it only approached, however, and it wishes the 1941-42 staff the best of luck in achieving this desired goal.
