rl-he Little Playhouse When the class of '15 assembled last September after the summer vacation, 10! all was changed! A new and artistic edifice stoodeas yet not quite complete -in the place of the old school. The beautiful lawn was no more, and the little that was left of it was a patch of muddy earth cluttered over with planks and plaster, and the usual debris of building materials. In a few short weeks, hOWe ever, all was reduced to order and beauty. The new hall with its small stage, on which our intimate drama was to be produeed, was named The Little Playhouse, and the six studios above it were named after famous musicians and writers. Mrs. Martin's room was christened the Browning Studio. Miss Hulsman took a vote from the Seniors and Juniors 0n the name for the English andLiteraturelabora- tory. Tennyson was chosen, and Miss Hulsman placed a picture of the poet above her desk. The Kindergarten Room was named the Longfellow Studio, since he is such a favorite with the Children, and the room in which we hold our theory and voice classes, as well as makeiup, was called the Curry Studio. Mr. Schehl named the music studio after Schubert, and the first notes from the piano were those of a Schubert Symphony. t In these six studios, in the hall and on the Stage of the Little Playhouse our senior year has been passed. We hope that the classes to come will find as much inspiration, pleasant work, and healthful pleasure as we have enjoyed here. We go out from the portal of The Little Playhouse leaving behind us our best wishes for its continued success! Page sixty-fwe

SMITH qhe Alumni Assoeiation of the Schuster School HE Alumni of any school is its greatest advertisement. To be able to send students to all parts of the globe, having unconsciously instilled into them such love and devotion to their Alma Mater that they will lay aside their own interests and an- nually come together for a reunion is an art within itself. This we attribute to the magnetism of the Directress of the Schuster School. Such is the opinion of the writer, who has been President of the Alumni for three years. i It is a joy to be in attendance at a Schuster Alumni Banquet, and each year the enthusiasm is multiplied, as the new class is received into the Association. Many members have graduated and gone out to honor the School and to make a name for themselves. Among those who have become well known are: Emma Reaume UVIrs. Tyrone PowerL Class of '99; Mrs. Blanche Bartlet, Class of '12, with the Redpath Lyceum Bureau; Miss Frances Riehle, Class of .i0, Schuster School Faculty; Miss Hazel Sloyer, Class of '13, Schuster School Faculty; Mrs. Edith Hunt-jonas, Class of 'i I, Schuster School Faculty; Edson Thuriow White, Class of '01, Stage; Robert Lee Hill, Class Of '98, Stage; Howard Dodson, Class of ,02, Stage; Boyd Agin, Class of ii I ; Stage. Many are holding positions as teachers, either at the head of their own schools or holding the chair of expression in prominent institutions. This year the Alumni Reunion will be held on Wednesday, June 9th, the members of the graduating class being guests of honor. Page sixty-six
