1935 Ei if:-fb3SMlTHONlAN Junior Play On the evening of May 3 the Juniors exposed to the world their romantic inpersonations of Gi:-X Shy college students. flt is rumored that the play was chosen by a committee composed ofjohn William Elliott, Howard Fisher and Buddy Edwards with the expectations ofdevising ways and means of over- coming their extreme bashfulnessl. The illustrious cast practiced diligently at odd and sundry moments between spring football and baseball drills, band re- hearsals and dates, finally mustering courage to appear in public. No serious injuries being recorded in the High School performance Friday evening, the play was removed to the Liberty Hall, Piney lfork on Saturday evening under the auspices of the Willing Workers Club. Ross Koon, erstwhile athletic manager, as Oke took time off to over- come Hobart Whitten's bashful impersonation of Tom. Esther Hammond as Sylvia C'l'om's girl from homeb lost Tom to Bains fMary Elizabeth Fosterl the college heartbreaker, but shifted her devotion successfully to Alfred, the college poet, as played by Ruth Bossick. Mary Garlinger as Aunt Caroline, the see-little chapel-on, forgot her charges while succumbing to the dignified love-making of Paul Reynard impersonating the college Dean. John Slisher, 'l'om's tempermental papa, while championing Sylvia as a daugh- ter-in-law, became terribly involved with the rough and ready Chuck Mayo CSteve Kinyoj, sweetheart of Birdie the movie-struck maid in the person of Magda Strickler. Elaine DeGarmo as Peaches skillfully controled the ro- mantic: philandering of her boy friend Oke while Asma the rollicking washer- lady was aptly portrayed by Ethel Rickey. The class advisors Mary jane Miller and Glenn L. Roberts coached the presentation. Judging from the quality of the entertainment provided in this performance, Smithfield audiences have much to look forward to next year from the ''about-to-be-Seniors. H11

SMlTl'lONIANi M ji5ii 9l935 Senior Class Play After four years of high school life in which the Class of 1935 stood to- gether through trials and triumphs, defeats and victories they chose as their Senior Class play He's My Pal. In this play the seniors ventured into un- known values and presented their ideas of life and sacrifice on the high sea of Matrimony. Greater love than this hath no man, that he lay down his life for his friend. When we in later years view this play on Memory's stage we shall picture in our mind's eye Roger iving his arm for his Friend, who is later willing to repay him with a sacrihce of tie girl he loves. And Mrs. McCay will ever call Calvin and meekly will he answer Yes My Blossom. Ma Averill's hospita- ble home will welcome the boys as in memory they return to High School days. He's My Pal will carry us back to our High School days as Seniors.
