The class had the courage to take first steps toward a more sensible year-book, operating un- der a code of no club assessments, 110 class dues, and a. subscription-financed production. A stur- dy pioneer into the new field of magazine annu- als, the publication has the two-fold task of main- taining the high standards set by its parent Oak and of setting the precedent as an entirely new type of school record. Those who study the annual problem prophesy that the 1934 Oak bids fair to be a model for other schools. Like the Oak, this year's mimeographed Light is a pioneer. The work of Miss Coffman and her department is responsible for the attractive ap- pearance of the new style weekly. That it has paid for itself and additional equipment through subscriptions with no advertising is noteworthy. l arf? f ,..-1 rf W Ui WLS N f W gg' WM -' 7 9 ff, wa ,909 4 fy 'I ,fr 1 f W MW J W Wg . at ' fi .. 5 X -5 v . f 1 ,I , .wi , Ml R - Q -1- f,L 'l .rag 2 f 7 4. M. ,I f, p , f I jf ft A LOUD KNOCK, A LUC The policy of a low rate, resulting in a high per- centage of sub- scribers, has made the paper of more practical value as a school organ. A volunteer staff awarded for de- pendable service, by activity points, has edited the pa- per as an extra- curricular activ- ity. KY BREAK PPORTUNITY knocks but once to give one a lucky break. A very loud knock was given this year when HA Lucky Break was chosen as the senior class play. On April 6, at. eight o'clock, a lucky cast performed HA Lucky Break to a lucky audi- encc. The plot concerned a very wealthy man about thirty-five years of age who thought everyone liked him because of his wealth. llis business manager, played by Dale Davis, endeavoring to prove him wrong, circulated the rumor that John Bruce, played by Ray Hochstcdler, had lost his money because his stock had crashed. At Hotel Mullet, Bruce found the girl of his heart, Nora, played by Elizabeth Dale. She and her mother CEvelyn Bartlingj turned out to be true friends of Bruceys during his supposed failure. Because of an aristocratic, sophisticated moth- er, played by Dorothy Mack, Claudia, portrayed by Virginia Gibson, was to be separated from her lover, Gene Thomas, but through To-mmy's foresight the two eloped, much to Mrs. Barrett's disappointment. Comedy leads were taken by Rtuthe Rich as Elmine Ludine Smith and Beryl Streeter as the super-salesman, Benny Ketcham. Others in the cast were Fern Hart, Elizabeth Brubaker, J. R. Bass, Mary Josephinee Shaw, lola Round, Billy Surface, Ervin Somers, and Edouard Brinegar. The play was directed by Miss Marian Harvey and Miss Winnifred Gallagher. CONCENTRATED MASCULINE TALENT Membership in the Orphe-Delphian Society is voted to boys possessing special talent in art, music, dramatics, or speech. Because of the activity of the club members in the various outside projects, the annual Orphe- Delphian play was not given. The fall social event was the party held at Greenfield Village, while the spring one will be on the last day of school, probably to be held at the Big Red Apple. ROSES WITIIOUT THORNS HA rose by a.ny other name smells just as sweet. A little secret is revealed in the fact that the name Sesora is really roses spelled backward with the a added to give it the right pronuncia- tion. This club stands for the higher and' finer things of life that the rose symbolizes. The Sesorians are a very active group of talen- ted girls, who devote their time to bringing out the particular talents of each member. These talents were revealed in the play, f'The Rebellion of Youth , and at the programs given at the successful Christmas dinner. the delightful spring tea, and at the annual spring banquet given in honor of the senior Sesorians and their mothers. Unselfishncss on the part of thet Sesorians was shown when they took care of a family at Thanks- giving and at Christmas time. TR UE BL UE The symbol of Girl Reserves is the triangle rep- resenting mind, body, and spirit. The side repre- senting mind has been well-developed in Lafay- ette's chapter this year by the play, ttDeariesy', centering around an orphan's home and a ffbig, badu matron. Contributing to the development of the triangle were the pre-Easter services in collaboration with the lli-Y, developing the spir- itual sidc. The completion of the triangle was brought about by swimming classes at the Y- improving the body. After all, ofvwhat value is the symbol if the circle, representing the world and other girls, is not there? The circle has in- cluded the mother's tea, Christmas and Thanks- giving baskets, lnterclub Council of the three high schools, andl especially the Kansas City con- ference. In the qualities of Christian leadership being developed steadily by individual members is the symbol of Lafayette Girl Reserves complete.
