SAINT JOHN ANNUAL WSI WV Dramazfics GAIN the students of Saint John High School embarked on the dramatic field, presenting The Challenge, a play of mystery, comedy, and romance. Under the superior coaching of Mr. Ed- mond Deane, they were able to equal the pace set by the successes of the past four years. The scene of the play is laid in a summer resort in winter. William Magee, a New York novelist, has made a challenge with a Hal Bentley that he could write a story at Baldpate in twenty-four hours. Elijah Quimby and his wife assure him that there is only one key to Baldpate in existence, and Elijah' relates to him a story of grafting politicians who hid money in the hotel safe. After Mrs. Quimby has made things as comfortable as possible, she and her husband leave, to return at twelve o'clock the next night to get the story. During his work he is interrupted by John Bland, a confidence man, who is aiding in a crooked political scheme, by Mary Norton, a news- paper reporter, who comes to get the story and with whom Magee falls in love at first sight, by Peters, a hermit, whose wife ran away with a traveling salesman, by Mayor Jim Cargan, one of the crooked politicians, by Thomas Hayden, the president of the Reuton Street Car Company, and by' the police of Asquiwan Falls, headed by Chief Jiggs Kennedy. In spite of these interruptions, however, he finishes the story a few min- utes before the Quimbys return. The climax of the play is reached when, in the Epilogue the whole play is proved a farce. It is not a play at all, but the story Magee has written. Senior A Dance The annual Senior A dance was held on Friday evening, April 21, 1933, at the Elks' Club of Paterson. This year, as heretofore, the entire student body and many of their friends attended and danced to the melodious strains of Gregg Cartotto and his Music Masters. The dance proved to be one of the most successful of the year's social events, and as a result the Senior Class were able to help financially the Saint Vincent de Paul Society and the Mount Carmel Guild.
