Thy woods, this autumn day, that ache and sag And all but cry with col- or! That gaunt crag To crush! To lift the lean of that black bluff! World, world, I cannot get thee close enough! Long have I known a glo- ry in it all But never knew I this. Here such a passion is As stretcheth me apart. Lord, I do fear Thou'st made the world too beautiful this year My soul is all but out of me—let fall No burning leaf; prithed let no bird call. ---Edna St. Vincent Millay Class Flower White Lilly Don Crank and ' Herbert Daniel are Yell Leaders Class Motto - No one knows what he can do until he trys.

In our assembly program our Feline Sweetheart, Don Crank, was crowned and presented a gift. We also presented gifts to our mas- cots and corsages to our president and sponsor. Our annual banquet was held in honor of the Basket Ball Boys on Mar. 22 at the Masonic Temple. The theme was a Jungle. The hall was decorated with yellow, green and brown streamers, stuffed animals and a scene of palm trees and moonlight. Chilocco Indians provided entertainment in keeping with the theme. The Feline Flag is a white ground trimmed in gold with Fe- lines in blue letters around a Tiger Head. FELINE PEP SONG Oh, we're the Felines of the grand Newkirk High, Our true colors we will always fly, Our white's for purity, Blue's for loyalty, Gold's for good. For all we will stand by. We just ask the boys to do their best, And the pep clubs try to do the rest, Proud of our school, Bright gold and blue. We are always true, Hail! to the Feliije girls.

The articles and garments made by the Homemaking students are from the Homemak- ing I, II, III, and 8th grade classes.

Drama LUNATICS AT LARGE Presented by the Senior Class on May 9th, 1947 The characters were not picked out at time of publication. SYNOPSIS Yes, they’re all back again—as large as life and twice as funny! In addition to Mr. Hyde, John Alden, Priscilla, Lady MacBeth, you'll raeet among others, Don Cutter, the slightly bewildered playwright who runs a nuthouse or. the side; his bride, the lovely Lucille; Amos Burke, that arch villain, who is up to his ola tricks again; and of course, Wing—the erudite Chinese who has a quotation from Confucius to fit any occasion. Together, they comprise one of the most amazing- ly cock-eyed assortment of characters ever gathered together on one stage. Fireworks, thrills, howls of merriment—expect anything when they get together and you won't be disappointed. There is a murder to complicate matters. Yep, Burke—that old meanie—goes and gets him- self murdered; and.of course it takes a genius to unsnarl a murder mys- tery in this emporium of insanity. But a genius turns up in the person of our oriental friend, Wing. Wing has been reading up on Charlie Chan, and proves equal to the emergency. It is he, who finally unmasks the guilty person. THE CHRISTMAS PLAY Presented by the students on December 20, 1946 SYNOPSIS OF AND L0, THE STAR It is Christmas Eve and the household of Elizabeth is busy preparing for the coming of Mary to Bethlehem. Esther, an orphan girl in Elizabeth’s home, is finishing a lovely quilt as her gift for the coming Child. As darkness falls Elizabeth, worried that Mary has not yet arrived goes into the streets to seek her cousin. During Elizabeth's absence Joseph, whom Esther does not know, comes seeking shelter for himself and his wife. Esther does not dare take them in, but offers them the little lambing shed as shelter. The Shepherds and the Wise Men come searching for the Great King; they recount to Esther the old legend that the star will shine like noon-day sun if a perfect gift is given to the King. At the lambing shed they all pay homage to the new-born King, the Wise Men offering their gifts of wealth; the Shepherds, their lesser gifts and Esther humblv offers her simple gift. And lo, the star grows suddenly bright showing how acceptable is the lov- ing gift from a sincere heart. PEPPER PLAY SYNOPSIS OF LEAVE IT TO THE GIRLS. Mary finds that her friend, Beth, is in love with Bud, Mary's own former fiance. Beth's happiness is at stoke, however, for she refuses to believe that Mary and Bud really aren't that way about each other any more. Mary plans a way to convince Beth. But when she announces her phoney engagement to Bob Fitzgerald, she doesn't know that Mrs. Harrison's new boarder is really engaged to the popular football star. As trouble piles on trouble, Mary is forced to'produce another Bob or lose her friends. Fuzzy, girl friend and expert impersonator, finally agrees to play fiance, but Aunt Jane's arrival, with her selection of a future husband for Mary, makes life compli- cated. Mary finally convinces her roommates that she has no interest in their boy friends, and it locks as if Aunt Jane’s idea of interesting Mary in a former childhood sweetheart may prove successful.

Melody and the deep-dyed villain are married; then High- tower tells her that he expects her to carry out his criminal schemes. Revolted, Melody flees--a wife in name only. Several months later she is at the None Such ranch where she meets e.-c. falls in love with our stalwart hero, Lucius Goodenough. But Melody has to turn down Lucius's proposal of marriage. How can she ever marry any man, cursed as she is with an aching heart? 'When that snake of a Windermere Hightower a_pears at the Ranch, Melody is appalled. When he tries to force his attentions on her, Lucius knocks him down. For revenge, Windermere steals money and plants it on Lucius; he also plants a time bomb in an attempt to blow our hero to smithereens. Windermere's dirty work is discovered and he is unmasked—but he makes a getaway. In the last act he returns to the ranch disguised as a peddler. Once again, just in the nick of time, our helpless heroine is rescued by Lucius and after a series of miracles, virtue man- ages to triumph at the final curtain.
