In the year of 1919 we, the class of '23, entered upon our high 'school career In our Freshmen year we did not contribute as much, perhaps, toward high school activities as we have in later years, but even then Donald and Ralph brought us as much honor as any other class can boast of when the former won the state championship in the two mile race, and the latter in the one mile. In our Sophomore year, we produced indis- pensable material for foot ball, track and both boys' and girls' basketball. In our Junior year we gave even more. We were the llrst class for six years to undertake the work of putting out a year book. After quite a few months of hard labor, done chiefly by the class itself, both in business managing and in preparing material for the year book, it was completed and published. the total cost of the Year Book being about 5950. After having collected all the money from the ad- vertisements and sales of the book itself, we found we still owed about S150. This we hope to pay from the proceeds ol the Senior play. Besides putting the Year Book through, we successfully managed the Lyceum, whighxcon- 5 sisted of five numbers: Reno, the magiciang the Mercedes Quartette: Sanford, vocational expertg and Ralph Bingham, the funny man g and Marie Walter Co. In both our Junior and Senior years we have showed great talent, as the star player in all the high school plays, have come from our class. We also stand high in our literary activities. , We are the first class in the history ci' the High School to organize. and make a suc- cess of a Shakespeare Club. As a isummary of our greatly enjoyed work in thej club, we plan to give A Shakespeare Revue, for our Senior play. We are also the first class to organize and operate successfully a library. The Pennsboro High School Library has been under.the supervision of the Senior Library Training Class since the early part of the flrst semester. Q ' 5 4 We leave the high school and work with regret, and hope that the things we have started will be successfully carried on. ' J. D. L., '23. The Shakespeare Revue At the present we are all working hard on the Shakespeare Revue, hoping to be able to give to others a little of the beauty we have found in the great poet's play as we have read them in the Shakespeare Club. For the sake of variety, as well as of giving each one in the class a chance to participate, we have chosen the following scenes: Balcony Scene from Romeo and Juliet Court Scene from Merchant of Venice Rehearsal Scene from Midsummer Night's Dream Drinking Scene from Twelfth Night Plot Scene from Much Ado About Nothing Quarrel Scene from Julius Caesar Forest Scene from As You Like It The music will all be selected from Shake- speare's poems, or operas based on them: H'ark, Hark the Lark! , Who is Sylvia? The Waltz from Romeo and Jullet and a clown song from Twelfth Night. , V .Ye i I' X a E
