III DRAMA TICS ★ AND ★ ATHLETICS T he SenJ or Class of 1935 presented “Honor Bright” by Meredith and Kenyon Nicholson. The majority of the cast consisted of the members of the Senior and Junior Classes: Joan Grey as Mrs. Lucy Barrington, Grant Schnerr as Richard Barrington, her son, Kenneth Burgess as the Rt. Rev. Wm. Carton, Grace Moore as Peggy Carton, his wife, Ted Lewis as Rev. James Schooley, Norman Doughten as Bill Drum, Flossie Clements as Honor Bright, Dorothea Martin as Tot Marvel, Joseph Serrlll as Watts, Elizabeth Marston as Annie, Francesca D1 Bona- ventura as Maggie, Wilbur McLaughlin as Foster, Gordon Byers as Michael, Oliver Dickinson as Simpson, and Arthur Brown as Jones. With Miss Yelngst and Mr. Brown as coaches and Miss Pierce as property director, the play was a great success. Our operetta this year was a very modern production. “Tune In” lived up to our highest hopes and expectations for its success. The New Year’s party in the studio, the Gypsy Chorus, the boys’ quartet consisting of Ralph Turner, Harry O’Neill, Kenneth Burgess, and Wilbur McLaughlin, and the “Gate Is Off the Hinges,” by Virginia Clements, enabled us to give the show two nights. The Seniors played an important part in this production also, and those who participated were: Fladie Clements, Flossie Clements, Eleanor Strohm, Francesca Di Bonaventura, Ralph Turner, Joseph Serrill, Gordon Byers, Norman Doughten, Grant Schnerr, Grace Moore, and the rest of the Seniors in the chorus. Gertrude Yunag was the studio pianist. With Miss Clayton as music director, Mr. Brown and Miss Yeingst as dramatic coaches. Miss Pierce as property manager, and Dorothy Ewing and Miss Thompson as dancing coaches, the operetta was put over very successfully. FOOTBALL HIS season, followers of football in M. N.H. S. saw the ’34 team pass through a better season than the preceding one. Although we were usually behind by one or two touch downs, the games were quite successful from a moral view point. The boys, under the reliable coaching of Mr. Harvey and the leadership of their heavy-charging halfback. Captain “Artie” Brown, put up a good fight throughout all the games. Because of the scarcity of able substitutes, the regulars were nearly dead with fatigue in the last few minutes of the game. In the last quarter, the fresh substitutes of the larger schools would push our tired but game boys slowly but ever closer to their defending goal line. A Turkey Dinner was given the members of the football squad, by Coach Har- vey, at his home, during the Christmas Holidays. The Marple-Newtown Lions Club also showed their appreciation by giving a banquet in their honor for the de- termined fight the boys put up against Yeadon in the Thanksgiving Day game, on Yeadon’s field. The class of 1935 is looking forward to continued Improvement and man3 foot- ball victories in 1935. Page Eighteen MEMORIES, 1935
