This tragic drama with touches ot comedy was admirably di- rected by Joan P. Kacik. lt portrayed the heartbreaking loneliness of a woman, Mrs. Lucy Greer, recently re- leased from a mental hospital, her fight to regain the respect of society, and her attempts to govern the lives ot her daughters and to keep them from the insanity which had defeated her. The play ended with the death of her daughter Waverly - the victim ot a tragic love affair, and with Mrs. Greens realization of her own insanity. The whole cast should be congratulat- ed for providing the audience with an evening of enjoyment.

Christmas was everywhere at South High School, in the gaily decorated homerooms, in the lobby where stood a be- decked tree, and in the hearts of all who participated and en- joyed the holiday presentation, This is Christmas . The Inter-Club Council bought a beautiful artifical tree for the lobby. All of the clubs donated money for trimmings for the tree. The yule season was complete with a toy train and gifts. The Christmas program, presented in the afternoon and evening, was quite inspiring. The orchestra, under the direc- tion of Mr. Charles Bosley, played a few Christmas selections. The chorus, directed by Mr. Kenneth Gould, sang a variety of songs of the season. The chorus also featured the .lo- Deb-Bevs. This group of vocalists included Jody Welch, Debby Fitzgibbons, and Beverly Cherney. The drama club enacted the scenes typical of every home on Christmas Eve. This portrayal was enhanced by a back- ground of music sung by the chorus. With the holiday spirit begun at South, the students went home to celebrate Christmas and the New Year with their families and friends.
