“Green Stockings.” “Green Stockings,” the Senior play, given January 24th, was a decided success. The Seaside Signal of January 26th, had the following to say of the play: School Play a Success. Before a packed house at the Strand theatre Tuesday eve¬ ning, the Senior class of the Union High school presented the very pretty English comedy “Green Stockings,” in a very creditable manner, not only to those who made up the cast, but to the director, Miss Ethel Newland, of the High school teaching corps. The little story was centered around a pretty maiden, who had always been a wallflower in the family, allowing her sis¬ ters to get married before her, and being what might be termed a Cinderella, and who in turn decided to step out, wear fine clothes and in her madness and imagination, started an affair with an imaginary Colonel Smith in Africa, who proved, in the end, to be material. The comedy was well staged and those who took part well costumed, elaborate settings being prepared for each of the three acts. Music for the occasion was furnished by Shackle¬ ford ’s orchestra. The cast of characters follows and in commenting, it is a pleasure to state that each did his and her part well and with great credit to the Union High school literary department.

Freshman Initiation. Friday, October 20, 1921, witnessed the first party of the season and one never to be forgotten. It was the Frosh initia¬ tion given by the Sophomore class. The stunts performed by the “frightened little freshmen” caused peals of laughter, and those who did not obey the rules were punished more severely. Freshman Party. Next, the Freshmen put their wise ( ?) little heads togeth¬ er and planned a Hardtime party, which was given on the th of November. What a variety of characters were present! After the grand march, prizes were awarded. Doughnuts and apple cider were served. We all agreed that the Freshmen party was a howling success. Christmas Dance. On December 22nd, the Junior class gave a dance in the High school gym to raise money for the Prom. The gymnas¬ ium was decorated very artistically with greens and hanging baskets of fern and poinsettias, giving it a holiday appearance, and adding exceedingly to the enjoyment of the crowd. Every¬ one was greatly pleased with the dance and the Juniors wore aided financially. Junior Dances.

Student Body Plays. On December 9, 1921, two short comedies, “The Neigh¬ bors” and “Spreading the News” were staged at the Strand theatre for the purpose of raising funds for the student body treasury. They were carried through very successfully and our treasury became a good deal richer as a result. Much credit is due Miss Thompson, who coached the plays.

On March 31, 1922, the Sophomores entertained (?) the mid-term Freshmen at a party in the High school gymnasium. The latter was decorated very cleverly with greens and the Sophomore colors, blue and gold. After an evening of danc¬ ing, and stunts, performed by the innocent litle Fresliies, the “eats came on.” At eleven o’clock (for the Fresliies must get to bed early, you know) we disbanded, well satisfied with the evening’s pleasure.
