“GROWING PAINS” O N DECEMBER 13 , Marple-Newtown High School presented its annual play. This year’s choice was that ever-popular comedy of adolescence, “Growing Pains.’’ Its success was due largely to its excellent direction by Mr. Frederick Brown and Miss Helen Yeingst who selected a cast capable of undertaking their parts and to the scenery which was made under the direc- tion of Miss Georgidare Pierce. Those Seniors in the cast were Josephine Klodarska, Kenneth Burgess, Mildred Young, Priscilla Reedy, Dorothy Ewing, Betty Campbell, Mildred Simpson, Anna Ford, Marcia Smith, Richard Marston, Arthur Brown, and Harry O’Neill. The Juniors contributed a sizable amount of talent through the efforts of Jane Hoskins and Scott Worrall in the leading roles, and Con- stance Bierck, Horace Hoskins, Wilbur McLaughlin, and Alfred Rich. “CHONITA” 4 T he choice for the spring presentation this year was “Chonlta,’’ a gypsy operetta with melodies by Liszt. It proved to be an example of what can be done with all-around cooperation. Miss Clayton, our Music Supervisor, was in charge of the production. Miss Yeingst and Mr. Brown took charge of the speaking parts. Miss Pierce and Niv. Raymond Ortlip, the scenery and lighting, and Allss Kelly and Miss Sheldon, the dancing. The leading roles w ' ere played by Constance Bierck, Kenneth Burgess, Harry O’Neill, Marjorie Burgess, Wilbur McLaughlin, Arthur Brown, Mildred Young, Joseph Reed, and Robert Maule. GIRLS’ BASKETBALL T he girls’ basketball team showed a great fighting spirit this year, when at the end of the season, the scores showed, in our favor, nine victories 111 ten games. The teams we defeated were Yeadon, West Conshohocken, Clifton, Sharon Hill, Downlngtown, and Springfield; the only team to defeat us was Berwyn. Among the girls who will graduate in June, are: our centers, Jeanette Wallace and Anna Ford; guards, Betty Campbell and Dorothea Martin; and forwards, Dorothy Ewing and Mildred Simpson. We can look forward to another year i of victories as these able players still remain from the squad: Jane Hoskins, I Carol Turnbaugh, Claire Miller, and Dorothy Kondas. We wish to express our gratitude to Miss Lyster for her patience and help during this successful season, and we wish next year’s team all success and hope another victorious year to old M.-N. m they bring Page Eighteen
