Augusta Romaine THE SENIOR PLAYS The Senior Plays of '29 were presented Friday evening May 24-th, in the High School Auditorium. According to critics, the plays were the best presented in many years in the history of Rye Neck. Two of the out- standing characters in Forty Miles an Hour were Mr. Radley, Dudley Hare, and Judge Peabody, Fred Langworthy. The twins in The Telegram, Dorothy and Stewart Halsey played their parts exceed- ingly well. Much credit should be given to the stage manager of Dinner at Seven Sharp, Fred Nichols, for the way in which he handled the lights during the play. We recommend Edward Maher asia messenger boy for any florist shop or as an insurance collector: he has the knack of having men sign on the dotted line. Miss Romaine, the faculty advisor, was presented with a bouquet of roses as a token of appreciation of her hard work in per- fecting the casts.

1 EDITORIAL STAFFS REMARKS ON SENIOR PLAYS Famous war cry of Red, 'iliut I havenit done anything yet. We see that Mr. Eekley has realized his aspiration-a cop, Mr. Harriott has disappointed us by turn- ing electrieal engineer instead of an orches- tra leader. You'd better not go around trying to apolf ogize any more, Mr. Halsey. Needless to say, Rose's heart is again mended. I'm sorry, Helen Hay, but it looks as though you'll have to remain an old maid. Mr. Maher, your grammar is absolutely atrocious. We see that Perry is still tinkering with lights. What a shock to find Miss Scherer. Grandma Miss Halsey, your stubbornncss is very unbecoming to one so young. VVe hope that you have made the fathers more tolerant of the younger generation, Miss Gale. Mr. Langwortliy says he specializes in, Speeding, Stealing and Bootlcggingf' Sure looks bad, I ritz. Mr. Nichols lost his first wrestling match in many years to Mr. Pcriconi. After handling that ear, Mr. Hains is too quick for you, Miss Haruls. -Jack Freeman REMARKS Mr. Hare assures us that he has perfect control of the car going forty miles an hourg but we don't know, because he says he was only doing thirty-five. Mr. Hains told the doctor he was dead. Quite an active ghost he left, I'd say. Nichols must have found a nurse he liked at the Doc-tor's. It's going pretty far Nick when you have to smash your finger to go back. Jack Freeman Page Thirteen

SCHOOL NOTES The class of twenty-nine wishes to show its gratitude for Mr. Lidstrom's kind assist- ance throughout the school year. He has showed the boys how to print and helped very earnestly in the printing of the first edition of Sc-raps. The programs for the Senior Plays. so neatly and a1'tistically done, are Mr. Lidstrom's work. Lastly, he has promised to make our Cl iss Night program. We ein appropriately borrow some of Mr. Lidstrom's own familiar terms in reference to himg he is on a plane above the level of mediocrity and his modesty has no p:1rallel.,' Harold Harriott THE NEW TEACHERS Miss Van Keuren. Miss McPhee. and Mr. Lidstrom have adapted themselves to Rye Neck in a remarkably short space of time. To the body of students they have endeared themselves by their sincerity of purpose. Miss Van Keurcn succeeds Miss Dunn as instructor of history. Miss McPhee teaches mathematics, formerly taught by Miss Hut- chinson. Mr. Lidstrom takes Mr. Darling's place as manual training and mechanical drawing teacher. Harold Harriett COMPETITION It seems to us that Hare and Nichols are having a great time seeing who can wear the most bandages in school. Nichols started it off in football by cutting his eye. The next morning found Fred with a little white band- age over his eye. Dud immediately got mad because Fred was one ahead of him so he went out and sprained his ankle. Another bandage made its debut. That made it even all around and they went on peacefully. Then these two gentlemen went automobile riding and behold! the next school day they both appeared with bandaged heads. Still the score was tied! But Nichols is a clever little boy and so to be ahead he smashed his finger and came to school showing it off to Dud. Dud again decided to make the score tie and came with another bandage for Dud had one on his nose. Let us hope there will be no more competition between these two. The moral of this story is a star in the field is worth two on the benchf' One of them AN HOUR OF' ENTERTAINMENT The Speech Art Classes of Rye Neck pre- sented a very interesting Hour of Recita- tions and Music on May 1. After the program had been introduced by Doris Offer- man, the high school orchestra under the direction of Miss Romaine played a Spanish Dance. Joan of Arci' was presented with good effect by Dorothy Bryant. Jeanne Egger held the attention of her audience as she presented The Painter on Silk. The Girls Chorus sang the Waltz Song and then Anna Kuhn presented Edward Mark- ham's. Lincoln the Man of the People. Roses of Picardy was played as a saxa- phone solo by Fred Langworthy and the two of the younger members of the high school, Nancy Reinke and Irene Miraglia presented The Frost Spirit and The Petrified Fern,', the latter a very interesting poem by Mary Bullis Branch. Another musical selection, a piano solo, by Violet Gee followed. Audrey Hare gave The Smaller Joysf' by Edward Guest, which was followed by Between Two Loves a poem in Italian dialect by F. A. Daly presented by Mary Quintavalli. The Boys Chorus sang Lullaby Moon and then Madeleine Houpcrt, Victoria Max- well and Florence Kelsey recited three Selec- tions about. The Road Not Taken. The House By the Side of the Road, and Tukesbury Road. Harold Harriott, the eminent violinist of the Senior Class, rend- ered VValtz by Brahm and an encore num- ber Romanza Andaluzan by Pablo de Sara- sate. As usual both numbers received won- derful applause from the audience of Parents, Teachers and Students. Doris Offcrman and Evelyn Rosofsky pre- sented the last two selections, Old Shipsi' and Be Yourself. A piano duet by Violet Gee and Angelina Lanza closed the very enjoyable program. Glen McQuakcr The Woman's Club Bulletin for May con- tained plays by two of the younger members of tl1e high school. Nancy Reinke wrote a substitution for the Fifth Act of The Mer- chant of Venice and Harold Raby wrote an original play, dealing with the capture of a thief by radio. Page Fifteen
