“A PAIR OF SIXES” “BLOW GIRLS’ r llE liigh school play, “A Pair of Sixes,” a comedy in three acts, was given on Friday, December 4, 1936, in the High School Gymnasium. Onr play couldn’t have been the success it was if we hadn’t had the helj) of Mr. Brown and Miss Yeing’st as coaches, and Miss Pierce as scenery director. We wish to express our appreciation to these three who devoted much of their time and effort in our behalf. The i)lay was one of the finest ever given at Marple-Ncwtown. The seniors who took part in the i)lay, and of whom we are very jjroud, are: Scott Worrall, Ralph List, Horace Hoskins, Jane Ho.skins, Wilbur McLaughlin, and Constance Bierck. Others in the cast who contributed their talent were: Fred Pressey, IVilliam Clements, Betty x nn Lewis, Edmund Broadbelt, and Ann Crowley. The property committee consisted of Melvin Doughten, Virginia Peirce, and Anna MacLaren. ME DOWN” ' HE operetta chosen for this year was a modern piratical absurdity called f “Bl ow Ale Down.” xAccortiing to the res])onse of the audience, the operetta was the snappiest production ever offered. The music, directed by Aliss Clay- ton, the speaking parts by Air. Brown, the dancing by Aliss Kelly and Aliss Sheldon, the scenery by Aliss Pierce and Air. Potter, and the costumes by Aliss Davis, made it most successful. The leading roles were played by L mberto DiBonaventura, Louise Collier, Con- stance Bierck, Wilbur AIcLaughlin, Bill Clements, Ralph List, Jimmy Toms, Jane Hoskins, Horace Hoskins, Scott Worrall, and Alarjorie Burgess. “The Three Charms,” the Dance Team, Eleanor Hunter’s solo taj) dance, and Jimmy Toms’ acting as Alas- ter of Ceremonies, made the Cabaret Show the most enjoyable part of the operetta. BASKETBALL W . yOR the first time in several years Alarple-Newtown has had a greater turnout a 1 of girls. Among the.se are some bright future ])rospects for a winning team. The girls eoo])erated very well with their new coach, AIi.ss Aeing.st, who helped them greatly in their mo.st trying times. The team j)layed two-court basketball instead of three-court, and the new game met with great approval. The scores of the winning games were very good; while other games were very exeiting. The regular players were Douglas, Wenger, Aliller, Bierck, Hoskins, and Burgess. Alembers of the scpiad who will be graduated this year are Hoskins, Bierck, Aliller, Douglas, Schnerr, and AlacLaren. The girls who have earned their letters are those on the regular team and their capable manager, irginia Peirce. i’age Twenty
