CLASS OF 1929 HISTORY if-QQ? FTER eight years of preparation, the Class of ,Z9 1' ' 1. entered the activities of Hillside High under thc 1 fxfi kind guidance of Miss Schmitt Miss Stevens and 1,5 i A '. ' ' 3 i'W'Z4-9337 Miss Bowen. One hundred thirty-seven strong, we have forged ahead, and although not actually organized, have made quite a successful showing in the athletic as well as the academic held. The Freshman Maidens are not without aesthetic ability, as was discovered when the Latin Play was produced, several of them at that time having the opportunity to entertain a tiny feel- ing-just a tiny one, understand !-that they had contributed just a small part in making the Latin Play the success that it was. And with so eventful a beginning, we hope and trust that the Freshman Class will make the coming years a repetition Of its first year and that, with a few more grains of intelligence and renewed vigor, and a ripping vacation, we may plunge into Sophomore year, ready to break any record, past, present or future. AN1'r.x MURPHY, Historian.

PEG O' MY HEART Un the evenings of January fifteenth and sixteenth, the members of the class of 1926 presented, as their Senior Play, J. Hartley lylanners' great stage success, Peg o' My Heart. Under the direction of Miss Stevens to whom is due the credit for the splendid performance, the presentation of Peg', reached the high standard characteristic of Hillside High School dramatics. Indeed, according to the press, a gentleman, who witnessed the performance, and who has been in the theatrical business for eighteen years, declared it to be Hthe finest thing in amateur dramatics he had ever seen. ln view of the frne achievements of l9Z4 and 1925, is it any wonder that we of '26 glowed with pride and happiness when we heard this and similar compliments? XXX- were pleased to learn that all who were kind enough to be present at our play, appreciated the great effort which the members of the cast exerted to make 'fPegl' all that The Little Teacher and Daddy Long-Legs had been. The comedy is one in which are mingled humor, sweetness, pathos, and truth. Peg, a poor Irish girl living in New York, is made an heiress by the death of her uncle, and is called to England to be reared by an aristocratic aunt. She is like a duck out of water in these surroundings, and continually shocks her aunt and cousins. She wins her way, however, and also a worthy VOUIIU' En flishman named errv. , s fi , . Esther Middleton made a very winsome and appealing Pegg and David MacNeil, the best looking boy in the class, as the hero of the comedy and the lover of Peg, was a real delight to the audience. Josephine Smith, with her mature ways, was the typical, aristocratic English lady, and as Mrs. Chichester was a great asset to the play. Jacqueline Sherman, as the pampered and snobbish daughter of an old English family kept her haughty role throughout the performance. Although we do not love a villain, Alfred Dowd played the part of Mr. llrent so well that we do not blame Ethel for wanting to elope with him. Allen Roberts as the English dude proved to be a splendid comedian and kept the audience in good humor throughout the evening. But what is a wealthy home without servants? The work of Franklin Reinhart as the butler, Jarvis, met the demands of the most exacting critic, while Catherine Tresslar, as the maid, was extremely attractive and very clever. Last but not least there was Milton Hock, who, in the character of the lawyer, Mr. Hawkes, rendered his lines to the satisfaction of everybody. The great ambition of the class of 1926 was to present Peg o' My Heart in a manner worthy of the high standard of Hill- side dramatics. If our friends, the critics, feel that we have accomplished our task, then we are content. L. T.
