SENIOR CLASS PLAY IF THE Senior Class of 19.37 asked you what vehicle was important in their traveling to Washington, I am sure that you would answer that the bus was the important vehicle. However, they would reply that the senior play, “Amy From Arizona”, was an important vehicle in their trip to Washington. The play, a farce in three acts, was both a financial and personal success, one of the most successful ever held at S.H.S. The play centered about the trials and tribulations of a hen-pecked son-in-law, Lester Heminway, a part which was expertly handled by Edwin Robbins. The causes of his troubles were his mother-in-law, Mildred Curtis; an actress, Marjorie Myers; and his brother-in-law, Ray Stevens. Further complication ensued when Amv from Arizona, Alberta Morrill: and Richard Morrow, Malcolm Harvey, arrived at the Heminway Home. The cast was further sup- plemented by James McLindon and Mary DeGrechie who played the parts of Hoskins and Cora respectively. Because of the untiring efforts of Mr. Stanton, the play was a success. —ALBERTA MORRILL ’37.

Schuylerville, New York April 2, 1937 Dear Friend, I must write you about the grand time we spent during our six davs at Washington and New York City. Since I still feel a little tired, I think it will be much easier to write a few extracts from my diary. FRIDAY—MARCH 26 I arose at five o’clock because we were to leave the school house at 6:30 and be at the Albany Railroad Depot at 8:20 A. M. The day was very cold. Too bad for us girls in our spring suits! Getting to Albany took so long, but in reality we made good time despite the slippery roads. At the station we met Mr. Green who gave our chaperons, Mr. Townley and Miss Shannahan, our tickets. We left Albany at 9:00 A. M. The train was comfortable and went quite fast although it seemed to merely creep along because of our keen anticipation to arrive. Shortly after noon we left the train at the New York Central Station and were taken by bus to our hotel, The Victoria. Of all the heads raised skyward! Everyone was peering at the skyscrapers. Our hotel was on the corner of 7th Avenue and 51st Street, right across from the Hotel Taft. When our rooms had been asigned, we went shooting upward in the elevator to the twentieth floor. I guess the first thing everyone did was to look out the window at the street far below. Since the afternoon was free, the students went many different places in the city. There we viewed the complicated mechanisms of radio. We saw the huge control room making broadcasts clear and distinct; we visited the huge air conditioning room automatically ventilating the whole building; our guide explained the structure of the sound proof broadcasting rooms. I should like to pass the explanation along to you, but I fear it would be too difficult. We next visited a broadcast and a rehearsal. At the broadcast, we saw the great efficiency necessary in each broadcast. After this educational entertainment we were allowed to go where we desired until twelve o’clock. A group of us went up to the Radio City Observation Tower where we had a most magnificent view of New York City and its evening dress of lights. SATURDAY—APRIL 27 We left New York City about 10 A. M. by way of the Holland Tube. We ate our lunch at the Lorraine Hotel in Philadelphia. After a short rest we continued our journey to Washington. We arrived about 8:00 P. M. Dinner was served in the dining room of our hotel, the Cairo. We, being now in the southland, had negroes for waiters. Our evening being open, we went where our fancy desired. Some friends and I spent the remainder of the evening hunting for a store selling Easter eggs. We thought our plan for an Easter egg hunt was in vain, but finally we found a store selling them. SUNDAY—MARCH 28 Easter dawned bright and sunny but quite cool. After church ser- vices, which almost everyone attended, we left for the Washington Cathedral. We toured about the Capital City, and after an educational visit to the Cathedral still in construction, we went to the Franciscan Monastery. Since
