lilt MIRROR 952 LICHT-BEARERS Into the heavy darkness Of tlu ignorant masses’ jeers Wisdom's bright vanguard of flaming Prophets have swept through the years. Light have they brought the world, even To those who would not see: Light have they given to mankind— They've set the prisoners free! Socrates, Pinto, great Phidias, Homer, and Pindar, of Greece; Vergil, the goldcn-tongued Roman: Wilson, a martyr to peace; Galileo and Newton; Beethoven; Columbus, who found his new way; Angelo, Raphael; Lincoln : Marconi and Kdison, today; Dante and Shakespeare and Milton— Light-hearing Proincthcans all! Torches they bore ever forward Into black Darkness’ wall All of the gnat ones of ages Into the blackness have gone. Bringing to night-weary peoples Light, and the coming of dawn. —Puna Riuner.

' yj uioiSJ '-'?. PHILLIP MIC FOOTLIGHTS Many Phillipians have heard the call of the footlights and many have bravely answered the summons. The smell of grease paint has enchanted many artists (and exasperated many victims) of the make-up committee. People arc 'till wondering how these make-up artists succeeded in beautifying the hundreds of pupils in the Wonder pageant We were so successful with the Aida chorus that we did not even recognize our own brothers, who wore full-grown I cards painted on their chins) and dark Egyptian powder. In the impressive pageant, presented in celebration of Armistice, we remember especially the figures of Julius Caesar (Joe Price), Napoleon (Ernest Dunlap), War (Fulton Brittain), Peace (Marjorie Smith). War Mother (Mildred Edmondson), Education (Theresa Davenport), Justice (Charlotte Adams). ami the eloquent Lawyers, Jimmy Williams ami Drummond Gaines. The combined efforts of these and others attempted to show the waste and stupidity of war and the beauty and wisdom of peace. Recalling the mid-term senior play. The Far Away Princess, we can still visualize: Frank Michael, the book-holder, as he cleverly read lines for all members of the cast; Julia Wallace, the pert maid, with her inimitable grin, her chewing gum. and long pig tails; Carolyn Kidd, the frail, but lovely princess; Virginia McGahey. her anemic counterpart; Eleanor Kidd, the sophisticated guardian of the princess; Mollic Miller, the delightfully supercilious mother, and her effervescent daughter, Marjorie Cheatham; Annette Totten, the realistic hostess at a fashionable inn; Arthur Kibe, the naive poet, who played his part sincerely and convincingly; and the other man who appeared. Archie Witt, the stately gentle-man-in-waiting. Alma Alexander, as student manager, came up to Phillips during the Christ mas holidays to paint the effective set for the senior play. We predict that some newspaper editor will soon ttah Annie Lois Greene, due to her splendid work a publicity chairman for The Far Away Princess. Ernest Dunlap, Bill Dupuy. and Denny Denny, enjoyed l cing “platinum blondes' in the George Washington play. They created the blonde impression by donning massive cotton wigs (made by Susan Thomas. Martha Sutlcy, Rebecca Daily, and Virginia Colmant) instead •»{ applying the usual peroxide. We felt that Jimmie Williams and Joe Price were actually on the threshold of heaven, in the Dunsanv play which Drummond Gaines coached. The l»ig blue clock, painted by Marjorie Cheatham, made an interesting background for Betty Stoves and Virginia Morton in thiir doll play. Charlotte dams may not he a commercial student; still, as director of a comedy, she knew how to make Lurlcne Orr pretend to he really typing Penelope Prewitt’s dictated letter Mary Dennis changed her pitch and almost frightened us as the overbearing mother, whose two daughters. Edna Martin and Olivia Ozier disapproved of their brother’s fiancee. Lionel Baxter had no difficulty in holding up the only masculine part in the play. Everyone continues to ask who killed Sam Smith’s brother, in Barrie’s famous mystery play, Shall We Join the Ladies? We remember: Douglas King as a stately matron. Lucile Jordan as an invalid. Pauline Wlcrson. Lois Cosper. Nina Ruth Culley, Joe Mac Hall, and Andrew Ramsay as suspicions; characters; Annette Hatcher. Virginia Windham, and Clara Msch, as club entertainers; and Marjorie Smith as a most versatile actress and dramatic club stage manager. Miss W.m.kik (to a doss in public speokiiif )—“Speak louder. Be more enthusiastic. Open your month and Ihrmv yourself into it.” AUDIBLE LIGHTS • Do—ra—me—fa. Yes. you've guessed it. This is the music department. One of the most jMipular places in Phillips is the ground floor, site of the lunch room and the various music rooms. t . An outstanding member of the music department is Peter Hamilton. He is president « t both the Boys’ Glee Club and the Kuterpean Club. Just take a look into the Euterpean office, and see the officers at work. Peter is presiding with the mien of a real dignitary. Ellis McCamey. Jane Slack, and Hubert Mate occupy the sofa: the two Charles ( Payne and Stone)—well, they enjoy frequent changes of posture: and the brick red of Lurlcne Orr’s dress contrasts beautifully i? with the Chinese red of the chair. They arc all listening
