T he Senior Class of 1934 were fortunate in being able to give liooth Tarkington’s ery popular play. Seventeen. The ntajority of the cast consisted of members of the Senior Class; Frank Longstreth and Kathryn Rambo as Willie and Lola, Lester Broadbelt and Jane Elliott as Mr. and Mrs. Baxter, Elza Ku kendall as May, Dorothy McKinley as Ethel, and Margaret MacLaren as Mary. W ' ith Miss Kress as our coach and Miss Pierce as our property director, our play was a tremendous success. The operetta which we gave was “right off the press” and it lived up to our highest hopes and expectations for its success. The many special features including the bull fight, the fashion show, and a very blue, blues number, enabled us to give the show two nights. The Seniors played an important part in this production also, and those who participated were Elza Kuykendall, Kathryn Rambo, Jane Elliott, Lester Broad- belt, Frank Longstreth, Dorothy McKinley, and Mary Brown. Ruth Evert was one of our accompanists. Through the aid of Miss Clayton, our music director; Mr. Brown, our dramatic coach; Miss Kress, our dancing coach; and Miss Pierce, our property manager. Bon Voyage was unanimously chosen as the best Marple-Newtown has ever given. The Girls’ Basketball Team achieved a successful season, winning twelve out of fifteen games. ’arsity; Kathryn Rambo (Captain), F ' ladie Clements, Mary Brown, Hossie Clements, Jeanette Wallace, Jane Hoskins, Jessie Russell (.Manager), and Grace Moore (Assistant Manager). There was increased interest in basketball this year. More than forty girls practiced regularly. Good material, splendid cooperation, and fine coaching resulted in a successful team. With our astounding male representation in the Class of ’34, it would take all day to tell about their sports activities, so we will emphasize the two best male athletes in the class, Lester and Frank. How the crowd roared when Lester, with that natural inhuman look in his eye, made a spectacular tackle, stopping the man with a mere gam of ten yards, or when Frank speared the ball from the air and pounded down the floor on his dainty little feet and threw it over the back-board. All joking aside, the boys did well Lester with his continuous fight in football and basketball, and P ' rank in basketball and track.
