The tlrst act given the name, I-'reslnnenf' had a cast of fifty-eight characters. The play was directed under the supervision of an experienced coach, Mr. V. U. Mills. The cast chose two of their number to help their director lead them. The two that were chosen were Faye Sartain. the president, and Alice Strayer, secretary and treasurer. The tlrst scene of the play was very successful, being a result ot' an iulportant meeting of the cast. The picturesque scene revealed the grandeur of nature and the accolnplislnnent of man. in the back ground was the high brick wall of a school building. The starlit sky and the beautiful inoon over their heads made the scene more exquisite than words can express. In the foreground was a cheerful are with beaming faces peering through its glowing flames and sparks. The hearts of the actors were light and their shouts fairly rang, echoing through the clear sky. And last of all the wieners and inarslnnallows being roasted there told the audience that it was a very enjoyable wiener roast. The second scene was the revealing of the acconnplislnnents of one of the cast. The hero of the play was introduced to the audience. The hero, Cecil Robbins. won his responsible title by his llllllly llI'l'0lIl1lliShlll9llfS both in working with his fellow actors and actresses and by the active part he took in sports. The third scene of this act entitled, Freslnnen, was one which required much work especially in the arranging of the scene. The picture that greeted the eyes of the audience was a street scene. There were posters in the windows of the business houws and the side walks were painted in large white letters. The beautiful posters in the windows and the lettering on the side walks was the advertising done by the cast to announce to the public a basket ball game that took place in the drama. ln the fourth scene of this act the stage was decorate.l with the most beautiful combination of colors. The walls of the house were draped with rose and gray hanging. llere and there roses had been thrown and this of course also added to the beauty. ln the center of the stage was a large printed sign reading thus, Lend a hand. work wins everything. This not only nmde an attractive stage but it showed that the senti- lnent and choice of the cast we1'e displayed in their colors, flower and llltlffli. -Alice Strayer. 4-isuievzvvieifsiengfievxnxqxtniruz 1 Q 2 7 ini-vioioioioioiozoioioxaviuv l26l
