PORTLAND HIGH SCHOOL REVIEW' I3 THE SENIOR CLASS PLAY HE Senior Class Play this year was one of the most successful produc- 'bf tions in several years. Clarence, by Booth Tarkington, was selected 3 N299 for the Class of '22, and, like most of Mr. Tarkington's works, it was a O-fwffl ubest seller. The play shows much of the author,s knowledge of human nature and abounds in humorous incidents, having, however, nothing of the coarse or vulgar. The setting and scenery were of the finest, and showed that much time and effort had been spent by the business management. The story is about a discharged soldier who gets a job at the home of Mr. Wheeler, a big New York business man. CIarence,s only qualification is that he can drive mules without swearing. The Wheeler family is on the verge of a great crisis: Mrs. Wheeler keeps borrowing troubleg Miss Pinney, Cora's governess, has nearly exhausted her patience. Added to this, Bobby Wheeler is expelled from his third preparatory schoolg Mr. Stem, a grass widower, has been forcing his attentions upon Miss Pinney, and Mr. Wheeler has just about given up hope. Clarence appears upon the scene, and somehow everything grows brighter. Miss Pinney finally prepares to leave the house, but Clarence receives a letter from his former employers offering him his old position. The plot spins a delicate web about these events and artistically weaves in the theme of love. While telling Miss Pinney about himself, Clarence offers to tell her about the Coleoptera, a bug beetle, on which he is an authority, admitting that the telling would take a lifetime. To his question whether she thinks the story ought to be interrupted sometimes to talk of something else, Miss Pinney replies that she thinks perhaps they ought to talk about something else once in a while, Without exception, all the cast performed so admirably that it would be difticult to single out any one star. Mrs. Swain again demonstrated her ability to coach amateur theatricals, and has added another to her long Iist of successes. . THE CAST MRS. MARTYN ...... .......................... ..........

PORTLAND HIGH SCHOOL REVIEW To WILLIAM B. JACK When now and then we stop to contemplate Our Portland High, the school which serves us all, And tries to make of every graduate One who will eagerly obey life's callg Or when upon the school's report we gaze In football, basket-ball, and other sports, Perchance we ask, as the team's work we praise, Whose spirit all this varied life supports? In gratitude our thoughts instinctive turn 'Toward him whose interest in us has no end, Who taught us what from books we could not learn, Who was through many happy years our friend. May fortune smile on him, and may his name Be found emblazoned in the hall of fame. Frances McGillicuddy, '22
