GOLD AND WHITE gf-Q-- 1 1 ' - v -e ESPERANZA RUELAS NEVA LONGATTI MARGARET CAsAssA President Secretary Treasurer Dramatic Club HE delightful whimsicalities of Barrie's Quality Street transformed our stage into a quaint blue and white sitting room and converted - modern high school girls into nineteenth century romancers when on March twenty-seventh the Dramatic Club presented its annual program in St. Rose Auditorium before the girls and their parents. The gallant Captain Brown was ably portrayed by Virginia Vannucci. Ollie Watts was the timid little Phoebe Throssle and the part of her old maid sister was taken by Lorraine Walsh. The other characters were: Dorothy Hartnett as Miss Fanny Willoughby, one of three old maids, Virginia Gallagher as Mary Willoughby, another old maid, Ellen McC1erry as Henrietta Turnbull, the third old maid, Helen Sullivan as Ensign Blades, Cecilia Casey as Lieutenant Spicer, Lydia Watts as Charlotte Parrat, Dorothy Reardon as Harriet, Dorothy Lee Carter as the Sergeant and Old Soldier, Martha Ward as the gallant and the bad school boy, Lorraine Eahs as the faithful servant, Patty, Eleanor Buckley as Isabella Beveridge, a troublesome little girl, Katherine Depangher as lovable little Arthur Wellesby Thomson, and Caroline Jeffress, Catherine O'Connell and Catherine McMartin as the dancing pupils. Everyone knows the delicate Barrie humor, but when ably carried out by well directed actors it doubles in value: and our little group of actors had an able director in Professor Daniel S. Sullivan, teacher of the spoken word at St. Rose. The Seniors were not able to take part on account of the proximity of the Senior Play but they and all other members of the Dramatic Club, as well as the officers, were generous in their efforts to make the play a success. That they achieved their purpose was evidenced by the congratulations the girls received not only on their performance but also on the dignity, eiiiciency and order which characterized their behaviour behind the scenes.

Red Cross OWARD the close of last term St. Rose Academy was enrolled as a member of the Junior Red Cross Auxiliary. Interest in this organization was resumed this term when, on October 24, 1928, Neva Longatti and Helen Sullivan were sent as Student Representatives to the Junior Red Cross Round Table held at the San Francisco Chapter Headquarters. During the meeting reports of activities in all the schools of the city were read and plans were discussed for furthering their work. It has always been a pleasure to our students to participate in any under- taking which serves either to aid, comfort or gladden our unfortunate fellowmen. ln any such activities cooperation is never demanded-it is willingly asked for and willingly given.
