gglyl ----e--fx Tdhe Scholastic fs , CGM Cfiortune CC'5'eller The comic operetta, The Fortune Teller , by Victor Herbert, was presented on the stage of St. Philip and St. james' Sdhool the evenings of April 23 and 24 by the Senior Class of 1936. Because it was the first operetta in three years, presented by the cap- aple prodigies of the school, we wish to express our sincere gratitude to our beloved principal, Sister Mary Cyril, in undertaking the task of renewing a marvelous custom, and in making possible the pleasure it always affords. It is the desire of every class to reach and even surpass the heights of any previous production and critics have assured us that this task was ac- oomgplished. Seniors found in their director, Mr. Edward Orchard, a grand per- sonality of outstanding acting abilities. Through his efforts and guidance, they depicted the c'haracters of Harry B. Smith, as he had designed them. It would be regrettable not to pay tribute to Mr. J. Ellsworth Sliker, our mlusic master, in whose hands rest the credit for the musical numbers. We also wish to express our gratitude to Mr. Richard Snyder and his fine orchestra. We are certain the performance would not have been so spectacular 'had it not been for the strenuous work afforded by our dear Sisters. They graciously gave their time and consideration in furthering the efforts of our director in making it a financial and dramatic success. ST.

This aifair was held on Saturday afternoon, March 7th, and was termed successful not only from a financial but also from a social standpoint. The primary purpose of the card party was to net enough to enable in the editing of a bigger and better year book. With this in view the members of the Senior Class gave their whole-hearted co-operation and a splendid amount was realized, which made possible the publication of the Scnoulsnc. The various committees were appointed from among t'he Seniors. 'Dhey are all to be congratulated for their willing and invaluable services. The class united in collecting beautiful prizes and delicious cakes which exceeded all expectations. With all this, however, the members of the Class of '36 are fully aware that unaided they could not have conducted this affair. They do, therefore, wish to express to all patrons and to Sister Mary Cyril t-heir sincere appreciation. Most particularly is it extended to the Reverend Gilfillan who so generously gave his consent to the card pary. PHILOMENA DE RAYMOND ,- 4, sr. PHILIP Ann sr. inmfs- 1ps',f.,ii: HIGH SCHOOL l
