€ be 1 9 2 5 MUp SENIOR PLAY THE “ADAM AND EVA CAST Adam and Eva , a charming three act comedy by George Middleton, was pre-sented by the Senior Class, Monday Evening, June 1. The scene of the play was laid partly in New York and partly in New Jersey. Mr. King (Hurdman Bark) who had made a large fortune through his business organisations had two daughters, Eva (Octa Wesson) and Julie (Florence Brandenburger) who had been spoiled ever since they were children. Julie, the older daughter, was married to Clinton DeWitt (Carlton Hough.) Clinton was an idle youth who found sufficient occupation with tailors, polo games, and parties. Eva, King’s younger daughter, had much charm and also happened to have a flock of admirers. Among them were Dr. Dclamater (Stanley Crum) and Lord Andrew Gordon (Donald Campbell.) Aunt Abby (Bernice Woodbury) was an old maid, sponging on her rich brother-in-law. This spinster character, hard for a high school student to portray, was well acted. Where there is an aunt there should be an uncle, but Uncle Horace (Roy Paulson) was no relative ot Abby s. He had come to spend a week end and had stayed fifteen Vears- (Continued on Page 28) Page Twenty

The first was the noon recreation held in the gym. It seemed that some sort of amusement was needed to keep those entertained who dine in the cafeteria. The student cour.ci undertook this task and appointed committees for each week. On some days, dancing was held in the gym, on others, games and sports were enjoyed. As we all wished to follow our team to the Little Ten Tournament at Waterman, the student council was determined to secure some means of transportation. As a result, a bus was hired at special reduced rates and furnished transportation for all those who desired to go. The Athletic Banquet is a very important event of the year. The student counu had entire charge of this, putting on a splendid supper and entertainment including a dance held afterwards in the gym. The May Day Fete is another great event of the year. On this day, everyone is taken out on the football field to display his skill and the new May Queen is crowned. Committees were appointed from the student council to take charge of the polls during the election of May Queen and judges, tellers, etc., were also supplied by the student council. , The student council has strived to make this year one of the most prosperous o any at Sandwich High. We have pushed things which no one else would support and helped greatly in making the school the center of social activity that it is. THE ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION Last September, shortly after school started, a number of students began talking about organizing an athletic association. Everyone thought it would be a good thing, and as the idea was commended by the faculty, the real work of organization was begun. A constitution which included all the by laws of the association and rules for awarding letters to athletes was adopted. Membership dues of twenty-five cents a year were agreed on. An arrangement was made by which any student selling two season football tickets could become a member of the association without payment of dues. The purpose of the association is to promote interest in athletic activities. This was done last year in a number of ways. Many students sold season tickets to people in the community, thus insuring a good attendance at all our games. A cheer leader was appointed, and regular pep meetings were held, which worked wonders in improving the cheering at games. A committee appointed by the Board of Control designed a handbook which contained information about the association as well as songs and yells. The book was sold for a dime a copy, and did much to familiarize students with the association. Continued on Page 28)

€ be 1025 I ft a p +-— S. T. H. S. DRAMATIC CLUB Early in October the students of S. T. H. S. who were interested in dramatics met to organize a dramatic association. About seventy students joined the club at the first, several dropping out before the year was over. The idea of the club is to promote student interest in dramatics and ability to present plays. The officers elected for the year are as follows: President—Arthur Hill; Vice President—Harriet Paine; Secertary—Edward Mosher, Treasurer—Robert Vlack. Miss Hennis and Miss DuVal were faculty advisors. The first program consisted of two one-act plays “The Crimson Cocoanut” and “The Neighbors which were acted by members of the Dramatic Club. These two plays brought out the dramatic ability of the students who took part, especially that of the Freshmen and Sophomores. The proceeds of the entertainment were given over to the curtain fund. We are glad to say that the curtains are almost paid for. The Dramatic Club of this year has been more active than clubs of former years. A program and business meeting was held every month sponsored by a committee of members, while formerly the meetings were few and far between. FINIS 'Tis fine to see the old school, and travel up and down Among the famous corridors and class rooms of renown. To admire the stately teachers and the period bell that rings— But now I think I've had enough of antiquated things. So it’s home again, and home again, the old home for me! My heart is turning home again, and there I long to be, In the place of youth and freedom beyond the classroom walls. Where the grass is full of sunlight and the air is full of balls. Oh, Algebra has its fancies, English has its nouns; And Latin has it theses, and all the spelling downs; And it's sweet to dream in study-hall, and it’s great to study Rome; But when it comes to living, there is no place like Home. —Henry Werener Page Twenty-one
