HIGH LIGHTS AT SOUTH A MANUAL TRAINING TRIUMPH or 1911 QQ LEOPATRA,S BARGEA7' a boat of gold, propelled by silver oars in the hand of handsome slaves tSouth High studentsi, was an attractive part of the feature, NThe Linking of the Lakesii in the civic celebration given in Minneapolis during the summer of 1911. ln the stern of the boat was a scene of Egyptian splendor. Margaret Wenzin, the dusky queen of the Nile, Agnes Tollefson, her fair lady-in-waiting, ebony at- tendants and perfumed silken sails, completed the picture. Students Spend Vacation in Work The hottest days of the hot summer of 1911 found Alvin Krogh, '11, as master builder, superintending this construction, assisted by other faithful and industrious boys-Emun Christiansen, Harry Knutson, Henry Hertzenberg, and Norman Brawthen. The boat was the master piece of the South High manual training department and deserves mention, not only in the Tiger of 1911, but in the Tiger of of 1917 as well. Girls Make Costumes As so many teachers were out of town, supervision was the work of a few. Ever enthusiastic Mrs. Bucknam aroused the interest of the school in the project, Mr. Barlow supervised the machine work, Mr. Hawthorne was slave trainer, Miss Byrnes, a modern Luther Burbank, created two flowers where but one grew before for decorative purposes, Miss Keatley was the power behind the throne. NCleopatra's Barge furnishes us in 1917 with one of the high lights of en- deavor in the history of South High. CLASS PLAY OF JUNE, 1916 QC MIDSUMMEH NlGHT'S DREAM7, presented during the tercentennial Shakespearean celebration under the direction of Mr. Hilgendorf and Miss Fish is the best thing in student theatricals yet done at South High. Unusual opportunities for splendid effects in scenery, music, dancing, and costuming as well as in dramatic characterization were offered by this drama, opportunities well used by the directors. In the last act, Hall the glory that was Greece called into requisition all the ingenuity that is South. All available freshmen became elves and all available students became fairies, the school orchestra rendered Mendelssohn's lovely music admirably. The sewing department made fitting costumes, the senior class presented scenery suitable for such a play, the dancers, in woven paces seemed the very spirit of the poetry. The characterization, always a difficult piece of work in a Shakespearean play, was a sympathetic interpretation of a joyous dream 'fin the middle summerls spring. Elmer Leach as Puck, and Fredrick Newton as Bottom deserve special mention. Dr. Spaulding, Superintendent of the Minneapolis schools, said: 'g 'A Midsummer Night's Dreamf given by South High School, is the best amateur performance I have ever seen. 1 18 1
