Text from Pages 1 - 40 of the 1929 volume:

Class Poem “A Dedication” God be thanked, Who has given to us A life, and a school that has meant to us Those things that forever will be, A reminder, and a joy in our memory. God praise those; who have made this true, Principal, teachers, and classmates too; For to each of them we would like to repay The happiness and joy of Graduation Day. Teach us through the song of a dove, Never, O God, to be afraid of love, Since out of love comes every lovely thing As a fallen feather from an angel’s wing. So many things to us have been given, Each thing a gift from God’s Heaven, May we take each gift, with a heart that is whole, And when we give, give with all our soul. —Mary Winston. “KALEIDOSCOPE” Published Monthly by The Students of Hopewell High School STAFF Editor-in-Chief _ Associate Editor__ Associate Editor_ ' News Editor_ Society Editor_ Humor Editor_ Poetry Editor_ Exchange Editor_ Business Manager_ Asst.

The first seven issues and this, the last copy, all have been well received and have been praised by all who read them. The “Kaleidoscope” is the official school pub¬ lication. It is only made possible by the co-operation of the students, but the students alone cannot make the paper succeed. The paper this year owes its success to a highly efficient staff of associate editors and business managers and the Editor wishes to take this opportunity to thank them for their co-operation and efficiency during the past two semesters. They have worked long and hard on the “Kaleidoscope,” and through their efforts we have seen our paper rise to equal heights with other high school publications. To Miss Richardson also the “Kaleidoscope” owes its success. Through her guidance and direction the school paper has been made possible and much has been accom¬ plished that otherwise would have been left undone. The Editor of next year’s “Kaleidoscope” will be indeed for¬ tunate to have such associates to work with. George Ruffin, Editor-in-Chief, 1928-29 “Kaleidoscope.” Editorial T HIS is the last issue of “The Kaleidoscope” published by the present senior class. As June is approaching, the class of 1929 prepares for graduation and all its senti¬ ment. Graduation from high school is one of the most import¬ ant points in our whole career. It is the end toward which we have been working for four years. It is the culmination of all our hopes, ambitions, and hard work. It is up to us whether we will go to college and continue our studies. Though graduation is one of the turning points in our lives, still there is a little sadness connected with it. For four years we have been forming friendships with other pupils of the school. For this period, our lives have been connected with and closely interwoven with high school, its life, traditions, and sentiment. We are breaking away entirely from definite bonds of hu¬ man feeling, and it is natural that there should be some sadness over the breaking of these bonds. We are leaving, perhaps for¬ ever, old surroundings which we have learned to know and love so well. We are leaving friends who have accompanied us on our high school career, not the least among these the faculty, and Mr. Mallonee, our principal. We cannot help but feel a touch of sadness when we think that we will never see them all together again. Yet the general sentiment of graduation is happiness, for we have completed our course, reached the first goal toward which we set our faces. We feel that we have really accomplished something and can afford to be happy for the short space of time we are given between the end of high school and either the beginning of college or the beginning of life. The way we feel at graduation then is happy-—yet a touch of sadness is connected with the sentiment of this momentous occasion. When we leave Hopewell High we will become Alumni and Alumnae of our school. We do not wish to become entirely dis¬ connected with high school affairs. We wish to be considered merely as older brothers and sisters of Hopewell High pupils and want to consider the alumni and alumnae of other years in the same manner. It makes the high school life so much cheerier to know that we will not lose our friends and will also have a helping hand over the rough spots of school life. It is a much better feeling to know that we are not entirely alone and that others are watching our trials and tribulations with thoughts of kindness, ready to stand by with a helping hand when it is needed. — 3 — Class History FIRST YEAR ISTORY, as we have learned, is a true narrative of what civilized man has done, thus, in the history we will endeavor to relate what our “civilized” class has done in relation to our school. We, the Freshmen Class, half-scared and wholly green, were just making our debut into the society of High School life, under the new and most honorable name of “Rats,” little knowing that in our midst were the future “butchers, bakers, and candlestick makers.” To begin with, we began our career in the old high school, now the John Randolph School. Due to new con¬ cerns in Hopewell the attendance had so increased that the building was overrun. Because of this the “Rats” could go only a half-day. Indeed, the class itself was so large that it had to be divided and placed under two teachers. Both of these teachers happened to be new ones; one sec¬ tion under Miss M. R. Richardson and the other under Miss Trosvig. This year there were many more new teachers, among them being Miss Parmesano, Miss Robertson, Miss Rutlege, Miss Oliver and Mr. Denton. With the new teach¬ ers, the new pupils, the new course of study, and the divi¬ sion of the class we had many trials and tribulations, but our skies were considerably brightened, when, after the Christmas holidays in January, 1925, we entered the new high school building. This year the Dramatic Club was begun in earnest, with Miss Mary Rives Richardson as the sponsor. Since then, the Dramatic Club has been recognized as one of the busiest organizations in school. Annually, at least two plays are given under the supervision of the sponsor. —Mary Winston. SECOND YEAR The history of the second year of our high school career was most eventful. In February a new form of govern¬ ment was introduced, that of Student Self-Government. Ar CLASS HISTORY—Continued The purpose of this government was to teach honesty and self-government to the pupils of our high school by means of various squads consisting of high school students and a student council of representatives from each class. Billie Walthall, now a cadet in V. P. I. was our first president. This government has proved very successful in the years that have followed its installation. During our baseball season of ’26 we beat Petersburg, that seemingly unconquerable school in baseball with a score of 15-14. This was one of the gala seasons at Hope- well and much was said over Petersburg’s defeat. In April the annual High School Minstrel was started. The success of this minstrel was due to the business men who took part in it and helped those high school students taking part. The building was crowded the two nights the minstrel was shown, thus proving that the hard work and long hours spent on it were not in vain. In May we decided to give a May Day program and after weeks of practice we were ready to give it. There was to be a king, a queen and all the royal court, athletic contests and exhibitions. We had all gone to the Tubize ballfield and were ready for the program to begin when it began to rain, so of course, the program was cancelled. —Lillian Alderson. THIRD YEAR The big feature in any Junior’s high school career is the Junior-Senior banquet. This means work and yet a larger portion of pleasure. In the first place money had to be made in order to get this. Our class gave a mock faculty meeting, and a popularity contest, as was the cus¬ tom. Then, too, a movie was given at one of the local thea¬ tres for our benefit. With this aid the banquet was a big¬ ger “hit” and better success than ever before. Even the haughty and dignified Seniors themselves were forced to acknowledge this fact. The minstrel, too, was a bigger success this time than ever before; in fact, it was given three nights in succe s¬ sion instead of two. —o- CLASS HISTORY—Continued The library, an important factor in any school, was really begun. Many good, beneficial volumes were bought, and each student brought at least one wholesome book to be circulated among the students. An athletic field has been started in “our own back¬ yard.” Already the influence of the traffic squad, many of whom are from our class, has been noticed in the order of the cafeteria attendance also. Mary Winston. FOURTH YEAR In the fourth year of our career we established a news¬ paper, “The Kaleidoscope,” which proved very successful during its year of trial. Two new Literary societies have been founded—the Edgar Allan Poe and the Sidney Lanier Societies. These societies have done much to promote the study of higher classics. A Latin Club has also been formed which is progressing rapidly. This year there has been a change in the annual min¬ strel. All those taking part were from the high school group and a show part was added to the minstrel which made it an added attraction to the people of Hopewell. Another important accomplishment this year is that of the publication of an Annual the first we’ve had since ’25, and we worked on it very hard. Our new societies and clubs have created an atmosphere of hard work throughout our school. In our dear old high school we have learned to take advantage of our opportunities and we have learned the value of self-government. We owe our success so far, in life, to the determination of the pupils and the help of our faculty. At all times our teachers have been ready to help us through our difficulties. Although we, the Seniors of ’29 are about to enter as mere Freshmen in the School of Life, we shall never forget our good times as “Rats,” “Sophs,” Juniors, and Seniors. —6— Prophecy NTERING a quaint little tea shop on a street in the city of Hopewell, I looked vaguedly around. It was so strange, so different from the Hopewell of the year 1929 when I was a senior in the Hope- well High School. My thoughts were so definitely in the past that I was startled by a little Chinese girl standing at my elbow awaiting my pleasure. I ordered tea and sat waiting and my mind flashed back again to schools days. Where was Mary, Lena, George and all the other girls and boys whom I used to know? After drinking my first cup of tea, I suddenly thought of once long ago, when Juanita and I amused ourselves by telling fortunes from tea leaves. I wondered if I still pos¬ sessed some of the old art. Taking my cup, I turned it around three times and then began my quest. Yes, to my delight appeared Juanita Padgett and Fran¬ ces Gray, dancing on the stage of a large theatre. Then I found Vera Makowsky, sitting before a large wood fire, surrounded by three golden haired youngsters. In her hand she held a book which she appeared to be read¬ ing to her two boys and little girl. I found further evidence of the magic art telling me that Ellsworth Tyler and Francis Tuggle were discussing some new project of engineering work. In the background I saw a half-finished steel structure—perhaps a bridge. In a dentist’s office I saw Dr. William Gray. He seemed to be a very popular dentist because there were so many people waiting to consult with him. I saw Lena Burchett standing on the porch of a vine- clad cottage awaiting the approach of her husband. There was George Kanak, with Audrey Spencer taking dictation from him. On the door was engraved “George Kanak, Attorney-at-Law.’’ Among the firemen working at a burning building I saw Chief John Cuddihy. —7— PROPHECY—Continued In a large conservatory of music, Susan Andrews, who was a special instructor, was performing at a recital. Here I paused, for there wern’t any more fortunes in that cup. Calling the little Chinese girl I bade her bring me an¬ other cup of tea. Having brought it, she withdrew, and I hastily drank it, anxious to learn the fate of a few more of my schoolmates. This time the scene changed to foreign lands. In a great laboratory in Berlin, I saw Frederica Belch, who was a tech¬ nician there. Standing near were the Hall brothers, Corne¬ lius and Icealius, who were dressed as internes. Coming in the door I saw the head nurse, Bernice Atwater. In a French convent I saw Mary Winston, a teacher of English, and Lillian Alderson, a teacher of Latin. There was also Louise Epperson, a teacher of Dramatics. On a quaint little street in Paris, there was an attractive tea shop. The sign read, “The Fay Vaiden Tea Shop.” Just around the corner there was “The Golden Beauty Shoppe,” owned by Irene Golden, the great beauty specialist. Down on the coast of South America, in the harbor of a little seaport town, I saw Leonard Green, a navigator, and James Rust, an Admiral, on a beautiful white ship. In a tiny studio in London, Lucietta Riggan was busily sketching the cover page of a popular magazine. Alas! I had finished the fortunes in the second cup and ordered yet a third, in which the leaves foretold many a fortune. The scene shifted back to the United States. The first person I saw was George Ruffin, sitting at his desk. On his left Mildred Danner was busily typing. I saw Rebecca Green talking to Mr. Ruffin. She was ' evi¬ dently in search of funds for the Annual Civic Drive. I saw John Nemetz working on a Rolls Royce. At last he was realizing his ambition to become a mechanic. —8— PROPHECY—Continued In the large City Hospital of Hopewell, I saw Katherine Daniels, the head nurse, Evelyn Morris and Edna Lazenby, senior nurses and Wanda Mitchell, the office girl to the famous Doctor Lyman Newman. Next I saw the office of a big corporation in which Annie Morris, a most efficient secretary, was going quietly about her work. John Morris, the great contractor, was at that moment entering the office. In a Southern college, I saw Saiad Ameen, who was driv¬ ing a successor to the “Kampus Kar.” On the stage of the same college I saw Henry Holloway giving a daring imper¬ sonation of A1 Jolson. On the campus appeared Willie Ward Temple, who was a teacher of History, and Jennie Wheeler, a teacher of French and vocal. The colorful lights of Broadway flashed the names of the two Sanderson sisters, Lois and Alise, who were giving a special performance in a large theatre. Down among the mountains of Virginia, Gladys Dorset was in charge of the Commercial Department of a girls’ school, “Robin Adair.” In a little brick courthouse in Prince George County I saw George Gilliam and John Zak discussing the latest news. They are the proud owners of two of the best farms in Virginia. Not far from the courthouse there was a large dairy farm owned by William Heretick. I saw Caroline Poole and Helen Leigh gossiping over the fence which separated the property of these two happily married girls. How like our former high school days! Putting down the cup, I left the table and dazedly made my way to the street, where I paused and gazed around. Gradually the streets assumed a more familiar aspect as I recalled the haunts of my school days. —Virginia Overstreet. —9— SENIORS, 1929 LILLIAN VIRGINIA ALDERSON President, Classes 1-L, 1-H; Class Representative, 4-L; Latin Club; Poe Literary Society; Basketball Team; Athletic Association; Civics Club. “The victory of success is half won when one gains the habit of work.” Lillian has certainly ob¬ tained this habit, and it is well, for she is consider¬ ing teaching Latin.

Soon you will receive your diplomas, and your high school careers will become a part of the unchang¬ ing past. You will cease to be immature and irresponsible school boys and girls and will become young men and young women who must face life’s sterner problems. While it may be “a time for memory and for tears,” it should also be the occasion for some serious reflection on your part. Whether you spend four, or eight, or a dozen more years in school, or whether you spend none, certain fundamental at¬ titudes toward life should have been formed during these four years. You should recognize the fact that you are at the begin¬ ning and not the end of the long quest for knowledge. The school exercises that mark this occasion are appropriately called “Commencement.” The textbooks you have studied are but keys to the vast storehouses of knowledge. Your teachers have shown you how to use these keys, and it is now your duty and privilege to take from these store¬ houses whatever can be of service to you. You should have acquired an open mind. Too many of us let the doors of our thinking close when the doors of the school house close behind us for the last time. Never make a final decision on any question until you are sure that all evidence on both sides is in. Above all, you should not be afraid to face about from any stand you may have taken. Some one has said that “Only fools and the dead never change their minds.” You should have learned to accept responsibility with¬ out complaint or fear. If you have applied the principles th at have been inculcated, you should be willing to accept the consequences of any such action. Finally, you should go out from your school with a firm determination that you will serve your fellowman to the very best of your ability. Society needs your training in co¬ operative effort. If you are not unwilling to live unto your¬ self, even if it were possible for you to do so, then you have not learned the lessons in school that you should have. — 20 — CO-OPERATIVE STUDENT GOVERNMENT The Co-operative Student Government Association was established in our school in the spring semester of 1928. The aims and the success of this type of government justi¬ fies, we hope, its continued existence. This form of government has made schol life more interesting, and at the same time trained the students to become better citizens. The officers who were elected each semester were: President, Vice-President and Secretary- Treasurer. The sponsor was appointed by the principal, while the two faculty members of the council were elected by the faculty. The Student Council, which was made up of a represen¬ tative from each home room and the three faculty mem¬ bers, met once a month to transact the business of the Association. The President and Vice-President, with the aid of the sponsor, appointed the following squads: Usher, Traffic, Sanitation, Program and Library. In the working of these squads we learn real cooperation. Our association has been made a member of the “Junior Community League” of the State. There has developed each semester a continued response on the part of all to make our government a success. William E. Pritchard, President. CIVICS CLUB The Civics Club of Hopewell High School was organized this year by the students of last year’s Problems of Ameri¬ can Democracy and Civics classes. The Civics Club has four definite aims which they have carried out to the best of their ability. The first aim was to stimulate interest in civic affairs throughout our school. We carried this out by controlling the Co-operative Student Government election each term, and by backing with our co-operation every objective which we thought would bene¬ fit the school. Our second aim was to help develop self-expression, self¬ reliability, and self-opinion. Self expression has been car¬ ried out in the club by placing the members of the club in various offices and on committees. Self-opinion was stimu¬ lated in the discussions held at each meeting of the club. —21— CIVICS CLUB—Continued Our third aim was a study of parliamentary procedure. At each meeting certain important points in parliamentary procedure were discussed and put into practice during the meeting. Our fourth, and last aim, was to stimulate interest in, by visits to and reports of places dealing with public and historical affairs. This aim has not as yet been carried out, but during the month of May plans have been made to visit our municipal buildings, Jamestown and Williams¬ burg, and perhaps other places. The membership of this club is restricted to those stu¬ dents in the Civics and Problems of American Democracy classes making passing grades; those who have had either course; and any Junior or Senior student who is interested in this line of activity. If you are eligible come and join us! —Andrew Christensen, President. HOME ECONOMICS CLUB Watch us grow! We have fifty members this year! Our club has cooperated with the other Home Economic Clubs of Virginia in endowing a room in the Crittendon Home for Cripple Children, in order to accommodate, free of charge, any dependent student, from this school, who should go there. We have pledged to pay $135.00 annually to this home for the next five years. An interested party has lately donated a number of books to our library, thus increasing the number of volumes fifty per cent. A vocational pin, to be worn by all Home Economics girls in the South, has been selected. There are four sym¬ bols of the club on this pin. A fireplace representing “Home Making,” a cornucopia of plenty, the emblem of “Cookery,” a spinning wheel representing sewing, and a cradle, the emblem of child care. As community service project, the students made a layette for a baby. The Red Cross furnished the material and will attend to its distribution. The Club has grown to be one of the most outstanding organizations in Hopewell High. ATHLETICS Football Chester H. S- 0 Petersburg H. S._25 Oceana H. S-0 Hampton H. S-19 Chester H.

The High School basketball team won first place in the conference games and a beautiful trophy was awarded. The baseball team also won first place in conference games. This marks the best work in athletics yet! Congratula¬ tions to the winners and to Mr. Parson, the coach. The Literary Societies The Literary Societies which have made their initial appearance this year have attained a place of high rank among the outstanding organizations of the school because of their attainments along literary lines. The two societies may attribute this success largely to the interest of the sponsors and the hearty cooperation of the members and of the school at large. The Sidney Lanier Literary Society Recognizing the poetic genius of both Lanier and Poe, the societies selected these names to inspire them in their literary endeavors. Election of officers strictly by parliamentary procedure followed organization of the society. The Lanier Society has given a series of creditable programs aiming to de¬ velop true literary and artistic tastes. The programs were devoted to studies of the life and works of Sidney Lanier, and of the history of music and art with a special study of the opera and its appreciation. This society also presented an interesting program on “Abraham Lincoln” before the assembly. A pilgrimage was made to the Poe Shrine in Rich¬ mond in April. The presentation of a worthy gift to the school and a final literary exhibition for the school and public forms the culmination of the year’s work of this society. Preliminary contests for the final night have pro¬ vided training and created much interest. It is the sincere hope of the present membership that the standard raised this year will be maintained and that the society will continue as a vital force in the school. The Edgar Allan Poe Literary Society After the literary societies were organized appropriate and inspiring names were chosen. One group bears the name Edgar Allan Poe in order to give due reference to the immortality of another Virginian whose works, both poetic and prose, are instrumental in realizing our literary ideals. The officers this year have been: A. E. Meehl, Presi¬ dent; Mary Lee Bishop, First Vice-President; Joel Noble, Second Vice-President; James Mallonee, Third Vice-Pres- — 25 — LITERARY SOCIETIES—Continued ident; Louise Epperson, Secretary; Willie Ward Temple, Treasurer; Audrey Spencer, Reporter; Louis Aderholt, Sar- geant-at-Arms; Miss Dorothy Richardson, Sponsor. Despite the infrequency of the meetings a literary atmo¬ sphere has been created and maintained throughout the year. The programs devoted to educational and interesting subjects such as a chosen study of Poe’s life works; a study of a series of musical subjects in which a sense of music appreciation has been gained, and also a study in the his¬ tory of arts as portrayed in outstanding paintings. A picture of Poe and a complete volume of his works were presented to the school. In the early spring a trip was taken to the Poe Shrine in Richmond to get in close to”ch with Poe’s life, and lasCy a creditable program given, summa rizing and exhibiting the society’s acquisitions in literary fields. This summary is merely an indication of what will be accomplished next year, now that a place has been established for the societies in the school. l. o 3. 4. 6 . 7. 8 . 9. 10 . 11 . 12 . 13 .

John Campbell, a Scotchman, in Poston, was the first to establish a newspaper. He did this on April 21, 1704. It contained the speech of the Queen of England to both houses of Parlia¬ ment, four short paragraphs of marine intelligence and an advertisement, that from the proprietor of the paper. What rapid strides indeed has the newspaper made since 1704. E. L. Shuman says, “The collection of news has been reduced to a system—almost to an exact science—until to¬ day every event of importance is recorded daily by the press.” Not only cities and towns have acknowledged the importance of newspapers, but schools all over the world have taken it up until schools who do not have a school paper are few and far between. The schools not only pub¬ lish a paper, but exchange with a number of schools. What does exchange mean? Does it mean the mere ex¬ changing of schcol papers? No, it means the exchanging of ideas. Many schools depend upon their exchanges to make their papers better. The exchanges have meant a great deal to our paper. Our paper being only three months old when we started to form an exchange, was far from being the paper that it is today. For the steady growth of our paper we give most of the credit to our exchanges. The growth of this department in our school has been amazing. When school started in September the “Kaleido¬ scope” did not have a single exchange. It was during that month that the editor told the Exchange Editor that it was time for him to get to work. Since that time this depart¬ ment has developed rapidly. The goal has almost been attained, that of forming an exchange with at least one school in every state in the Union. At the present time the “Kaleidoscope” is exchanging with 101 different schools which are found in 43 states, the District of Columbia, Eng¬ land, Hawaii, Alaska and Cyprus. The six states with whom we have not formed an exchange are Mississippi, New Mexico, Idaho, Nevada and Utah. In behalf of the school, the staff wishes to thank each and every school for exchanging with us. We hope you will co-op:rate with the staff of 1929-30 as you have with us. LE CERCLE FRANCAIS “Noblesse Oblige” HILE the members of the French Circle are only the students who have studied or are studying French, the interests of the club are by no means confined to the group. For this reason, the mem¬ bers have undertaken during the year, to carry out two projects or two pieces of constructive work that will be of benefit to the entire school. The first project was the presentation of a program in the auditorium. We decided that an appropriate program at Easter would be an inspiration to the student body. A cantata was selected and was staged during Holy Week. We believe that this was the first of its kind to be presented in Hopewell High School. It taught the students one type of oratorical music and helped them to appreciate the ora¬ torios, a type of music that tells a story through singing instead of acting. We hope that our efforts will be recog¬ nized by the establishment of the precedent; that each year some organization will give an appropriate program during the Easter season. The second project was to give some books to the library. To carry out this plan, a mock faculty meeting was staged in the auditorium. The students who “took off” the faculty spent many hours as understudies, listening to their pet expressions, such as Miss Burch’s “and so forth,” Mr. Par¬ son’s “write about a 3,000 word theme” and Miss Robert¬ son’s “History repeats itself.” Then the fun came when Mary Lee tried to fix her hair like Miss Dorothy Richardson and Frances Gray tried to make Miss Mary Rives Richardson’s red jersey look stylish! Cynthia Etheridge couldn’t make up her mind whether she would wear Miss Beckham’s brown or blue dress but finally decided in favor of the latter. James Mallonee had the advantage over the rest of us because he had Mendel’s law of inheritance to start him off. He made a perfect principal. — 28 — Another interesting project was a correspondence with the members of the French classes of Farmville High School. These letters, of course, were written in French. The boys wrote to the girls and the girls wrote to the boys. It was worse than crossed questions and crooked answers and these were sights unseen. Excitement reigned su¬ preme when answers to our letters came and what do you think? The girl practically proposed to Sidney—but it was in French so Sidney just pretended that he wasn’t accustomed to receiving his proposals in French so let the matter drop. When our periodical, “The Kaleidoscope,” became a realty the French Circle asked for a “corner.” Through this column we have kept the school in touch with some of our work. We are anticipating the time when our corner will grow to a page or more. We are indeed grateful to the ‘‘Kaleidoscope” staff for giving us this opportunity to summarize our aims and accomplishments. We feel that it has helped to keep alive the interest in the society and to enlarge the interest in the study of French in Hopewell High School. — 29 - Latina Societas “Possunt quia, posse videntur.”—Vergil. To Vergil the Latin Club has turned to get the inspiring motto: “As a man thinketh so he is,” or “Because we think we can, we can.” When this club was organized several months ago, with Miss Dorothy Richardson as sponsor, the charter members had in mind the vitalizing of Latin for club members for the Latin Department, and for everyone in school. The programs at each meeting have been broad and extremely interesting as well as educational. The club members have taken songs of the students of the Middle ages, have put them into Latin, and have sung them to gay tunes. They have also learned to sing “America” and sev¬ eral Christmas carols in Latin. Latin poems were trans¬ lated into English rhymes! With highest hopes the club asked for a small space in “The Kaleidoscope,” which was named the Latin Corner. After a few issues the Corner became so popular and the club found so many interesting things to pass on to the school at large, that “The Kaleidoscope” staff kindly gave a whole page for this work. The “Latina Societas” con¬ siders this very good experience, since they expect to pub¬ lish a paper entirely devoted to Latin material next year. Then an exchange will be able to be made with the Latin newspapers, received this term, from various sections of the United States. As a representation of the aims of the “Latina Societas” all members have bought pins composed of a scroll and a quill, bearing the name “Latina Societas.” These pins are a source of pleasure as well as a reward to all members, since only students of Vergil may belong to the club. There¬ fore, membership means four years of hard work culmina¬ ting in a period of time devoted to Latin in a lighter vein. A most interesting assembly program is being planned and will be given near the close of the school year. The club has a glorious surprise for the school which will be presented at this final program. To you, fellow students in Latin, is thrown our guiding torch. “Be yours to hold it high—Because we think we can, we can,” — 30 — The Dramatic Club HE usual bond that holds members together in any organization and which always insures coopera¬ tion and success is in having a definite ideal held ever before its members. Ideal is such an over¬ worked word that target should suffice. With the new 7 word target new ideas, and incentives culminated. The members pieced in their field of activity certain targets in September and realized that the given distance to shoot would be from then until June. In order to hit, the art of aiming had to be perfected. Thus the year’s work proved to have developed excellent sharp shooters in the actual form of heroes, heroines and others. It has often been said that good is the worst enemy of the best. With such warning the members attempted to overcome this petty hobgoblin called good by consistently aiming at the best. Will you ever forget the three old maids in “Quality Street” or the whimsical style of Barrie’s lines? Never! They are immortal. How about Tony, the delicate little son of Mrs. Hardcastle, an example of Gold¬ smith’s delicious humor. Finally the name became fa¬ miliar, Marquis D’Astafiorquercita, thus Rostand’s villian is loved merely through understanding him. Can’t you just see those lovers? Charming Rosalind and brave Orlando pic¬ tured by the genius of drama. Doesn’t it thrill you— readers—that no introduction to these famous characters is necessary? Thanks to the members of the dramatic club—they did that! The major accomplishment of this year was the pre¬ sentation of Shakespeare’s romantic comedy “As You Like It.” There are always many benefits gained from such a project. The study of characters in Shakespeare’s plays particularly, is practically unlimited. Familiarity with the “tricks in the trade,” so to speak, displayed by Shakespeare in his dramatic art is invaluable. Memorization of his lines acquaints one with the most quoted w r riter there is, and lastly, the audience has to learn to listen, for however def¬ initely the main plot stands out, always a maze of sub-plots are interwoven. The play w 7 as excellently given and was truly a credit to Hopewell. - 31 - DRAMATIC CLUB—Continued Rentals per costume is $3.00. This is robbery! Thus last year came the urgent plea, “we must have a property box!” In case a costume could be begged or was donated, some place had to be prepared to store the choice treasure. Mr. Wiseman made a box. The collection of costumes has grown rapidly under lock and key, and at present our sup¬ ply is invaluable. Four of the members who were seniors, presented as the Senior Play, the exquisite fantasy “The Maker of Dreams.” May the club ever remember to do their best to give the best to the audience.
