Brown At the first meeting of the year the critics were chosen for the Tech United Programs as well as the judges who decide the winners of the cups, ft was also decided that pennants would be sold to ob¬ tain money for the different acti¬ vities of the school. These pen¬ nants are red with blue W.W.T. lettering. Programs were started in a very short time. The winners have not yet been decided upon due to the fact that all the programs have not been presented. C3A and C3B presented the first program of the season. C3A is so far the successful class with only one form to compete against them. Their program was made up of choruses and a pageant represent¬ ing the different countries of the world. They also presented a play called “Medieval Magic.” C3B’s program was very inter¬ esting as well as educational. It consisted of “The Literary Piano,” the story of the typewriter, and a play written by one of our own teachers called “Tillie the Toiler” which was very amusing. The next program took place on November 29, 1928, by T3A and T8B. A very interesting program consisting of a chorus, a school stunt, and a scene from Henry IV was put on by T3B. T3A’s was very novel and inter¬ esting. It was a descriptive nar¬ rative of the Great War showing the various events. War songs were sung by players and audience. The next meeting of the Tech United was presented by C2A and T2A. C2A gave a humorous play “Grandma Pulls the String.” T2A’s
