THE NARCISSUS COLORS-Blue and VVhite. FLOVVICR-Svveet Pea.. ' - ' 'r'z'ls. MOTFO Loyalty, brings raw L11 . ADVISORS-lN1r. Thomas and Miss VVOOG. HE curtain has fallen, and the final act of the four act drama enacted by the class of H?-fl has just been com- pleted The applause of the spectators can still be heard and it will not subside for many years. The drama, one of the outstanding presentations in the history of the school, has had for its dramatic critic, the World, who gives us the following critical review: The curtain opens and before us is portrayed the adventures of some personages, who at this stage of life are unlearned and reticent, yet possessed of that capacity for trying and achieving. The adventures in the first act are mostly preparatory to greater ones later on, although at times real talent with a strong promise for the future is displayed. The second act presents the gradual development of these personages into realms of scholarship, athletics, and various social activities. A special capacity for hard Work is exhibited. The third act partly fulfills the prophecy of the opening act that success would come to these personages. Significant strides in the fields entered into, in the previ- ous acts are made, together with a spreading out into other fields. Unusual success is attained. The final act begins and the complete fulfillment of Illlili YZEARD lVlPDAl'!Illl.S, Presillcnt the prophecy is brought about. Scholastic achievement, ROFANNA FA HHAR, Vice in-esiiicnr athletic superiority, ,success in all forms of extra-curricu- lar activity,and strong progress in social functions justify this prophecy. d The curtain begins to fall and thus the drama en s. The personnel of the drama has played roles of a wide and varied nature. Each actor has met MA RY FISHER, Secretary ROBERT CRIDEH, Treasurer with a varying degree of success, with the natural result that some have been more outstanding than others. The best performances were made by the following: Robert Morris was easily one of the outstand- ing characters of the drama. His work in football, student council, Peruvian staff, and Hi-Y scenes, was of unusual merit. His acting in all four acts was of the highest calibre. Harold T. Porter deserves commendation for his splendid scholastic work and debating. He attained the highest scholastic average for boys in the entire cast. He was the leader of the cast in the third act. Alfred Newhouse through his superior ability in ath- letic scenes during the four acts merits special mention. He excelled in all major sports. Toy Jones also through his unusual ability in sports wins a place for the list of outstanding performances. His work in track and basketball scenes in the four acts are known throughout the state. Bill Beard McDaniel in the role of leader of the cast of the fourth act, business manager of the Narcissus, and a debater of real value, has also done work of real distinc- tion. Ruth Bowman heads the list of girls through her un- surpassed performance in scholastic scenes. Latin and commercial scenes were performed with an unusual de- gree of success. Mary Fisher places high in the cast because of her stellar work d P ' t ff nes in G. R., L. R., an eruvian s a sce .. I Elmeda Hardy ranks high in the list of performers. She dis- played real talent in studegt council work and in all dramatic func- tions in which she engage . The stage is now being prepared for the next drama-that of life. That drama, however, will never be recorded that it may be enfolded as a whole to us. The only manner in which We can Judge its outcome is by the past, and with such a meritorious record, the class of 31 has justification in believing that the future holds a distinct promise of happiness and success.
