ELIZABETH VVnrrsr.Aw The Operetta- In Arcadyn Sing hay, Sing hay! Youths and maidens from Radford's classic halls of learning have turned their steps toward Arcady! For the tirst time the rich blue folds of the new stage curtain are drawn back, disclosing a scene of pastoral beauty. It is Arcady, with vines grow- ing over low stone walls, and fragrant Wisteria climbing on arched trellises. But are these brightly colored flowers alive? IVhy they're girls! Our Radford girls in rustic costumes. But who would recognize them with those sophisticated black circles under their eyes? Geneva Pritcliett, Ruth VVilson, Sunbeam Farley, Jessie Lee Swisher, Eleanor Bowers, Minnie Miller Cord. Eunice Miller, and Lorena Monroe. clad in bright checked gingham dresses, with demure sunbonnets tlit about Arcady in delight. And these gay farmers in brand new overalls, who make a pretense of being so hard at work, who are they? No one but our own R. H. S. sheiks, carrying rakes and hoes. It's strange I never realized their cheeks were so rosy, nor their lips so red, nor their eyebrows so black before. These farmers, Boyd Sutherland, VVilbur Fugate, Stuart Noblin, Claude Grubb, VVilmer Lawrence, Everett Shanklin, Carl Hendrix, and james VVright, together with the farmerettes enliven Arcady with songs and dancing. Sing hay rings out over the great auditorium. The second act is a scene from fairyland. A pale gold moon shines upon the garden softly lighted with apanese lanterns. The charmers' now dressed in pastel evening gowns from their city wardrobes llirt with their escorts the country lads who are very unfarmerlike in white linen suits. And how those suits set off thebroad shoul- ders and good physiques of our R. H. S. athletes! After all these young gods and goddesses are human. For instance a certain brunette farmer failed to drop his partners hand at the specified moment and held it throughout the rest of the act. And one 'fair damsel nearly went to sleep while sitting on a stone wall and had to he punched sev- eral times by her escort to keep her from falling o Neveitheless it was 'ui attiaetive perfoi mance 'uid worthy of being the Fnst at the new Radford High When the curtains slowly drew togethei OVCI' Before Lunch It is quiet in the classroom, and only the voice of the teacher is heard. Wfhen she asks a ques- tion, hands fly up as though controlled by ina- chinery and wave wildly in the air until one of the owners is called upon. Then the other hands dis- appear with the same surprising suddenness. The class is over and- the teacher directs the members to study. Here begins the restless hum. Pupils turn around in their desks and whisper to each other. Some one calls across the room to know what time it is. A hand is raised. The teacher does not see it. The lingers snap and the teacher looks up. VVhat is it ? she asks. May I go to the library? Yes So one pupil gets up and walks self-consciously to the door and out into the hall. Restless feet scrape and shuffle on the tloor. Some one asks, VVhy don't the bell ring? But still it does not. One of the girls opens her compact and powders her nose. That starts the fever. All the girls do the same. Une boy sits back in the corner with his feet propped up on the desk in front of him, and gently sleeps. Then the distant tinkle of the bell is heard. Every one at once stops what he is doing, and grabbing books, starts off on a wild run for his locker. In the halls people bump into each other but no one stops because it is lunch period. IXIARY I'IARRlS. -1-RIlS Have you ever ridden with Robert? If so, you are one of the chosen few. I have had this priv- ilege several times. Never will I forget them. I live over each delicious little thrill and hear again the remarks he makes about his fellow students. I am just beginning to think I have made an im- pression on the oft beseiged stronghold of his heart. But alas! How deluded I am. Suddenly there is one terrible thud after another in my ribs directed by Roberts elbow. Robert alternately wrings his hands and smooths his hair. He whis- pers in agitated gasps, Here comes Evelyn ! Here comes Evelynf And I am forgotten outshone by a more brilliant star. Lois l.xeKsoN. liubtsli A Character A neat, heavy set lilfure walks the halls from early morninff to late in the ew enino' with the same quick but silent footsteps. No word would de- scribe him better than stern. appearance, speech and action 'tll bear this characteristic.

The committee decided upon the requirements for the officers, the methods of election, and also upon the council work in gen- eral. Two candidates for each of the three offices, President, Vice-President, and Secretary-Treas- urer, were chosen by the committee. As it hap- pened, a boy and a girl were chosen for each ofhce. The candidates were: Ruth Xufilson and Stuart Noblin for Presidentg Evelyn Carden and Boyd Sutherland for Vice-President' and Florence Webb and Bryan Eller for Secretary-Treasurer. On February l0, the campaign speeches of the candidates were delivered in Friday Assembly. In the speeches the candidates set forth the plan of the Council their own opinions regarding the work and the necessity of student co-operation. They defined the Student Council as a body for the purpose of training the individual to live in a democracy by having him live in 'L situation most nearly representing that of a democracy by the promotion and maintenance of school routine and activity. The following Wfednesdav balloting for the officers took place, and the next day it was an- nounced that Stuart Noblin had been elected Presi- dent of the Student Council, Boyd Sutherland Vice-President: and Bryan Eller Secretary-Treas- urer. The aim in mind was to Begin small and grow large. One of the first acts of the Council was to install three committees, appointed by the President and approved by the Council. These committees, Bulletin Board Committee, Exhibit Case Committee, and Lost and Found Department, the latter assisted by our Librarian, Miss Brown, began work at once to carry on their duties. The Student Council also assisted in the Art Exhibit, the Cleanaup Canlpaign, the School Motto, Club activities, and other minor activities in connection with the Council. lhere were twelve members of the Student Council-three officers and nine representatives as follows: President-Stuart Noblin. Vice President-Boyd Sutherland. Secret'u'y-'l reasurer-bryan Eller. Representatives 1 'Seniors - Elizabeth Hopkins and Harry Russell. H uniors-Minnie Adams and Howard Houck. Sophomores - Violet Helvey and Homer Covey. Freshmen-Thelma Covey, VV'u'ren Bowers and VVillia1n Bullard. STUART NOHLIN. 7 4 r F D .I 1 X A 0. A A .i A . 1 s i i v I . .J A X ' I C e U s 2 K .
