ToM THUMB XTEDDING Under the supervision of Miss Koon a Tom Thumb Wed- ding was given May 1, 1925, at the S. E. Churchill Memorial Gymnasium. The children from the first four grades took part in it. They were very tastefully dressed in adult style. The bride, Jean Pruden, was dressed in the customery white with orange blossoms. The groom, Albert Sitzer, Jr. was dressed in a dress suit. The guests, all relatives of the bride and groom, were named after some of the citizens of this town. Many of the old songs, such as t'VVhen You and I VVere Young Maggie, were sung by the guests, accompanied by Miss Koen, before the bride 'and groom arrived. All in all this unique replica of a. society wedding was a great success. A' 'PC . 4 . ,P

The faculty acted as judges and voted that Hildred Mc- Ilwain and Raymond Govern should go to Delhi to represent Stamford Seminary at the Interscholastic Speaking Contest. These two students met at Delhi on April seventh. Both of these people won second prize there. THE SENIOR PLAY The Seniors, realizing that they did not have enough money in the class treasury to take them to NVashington, de-- cided to put on a play. After much controversy they decided on a play called, The Elopement of Ellen. They then en- gaged Miss Hubbard to direct the play. The following people were chosen for the cast: Mrs. Richard Ford' ,,...... ......... L eona Thompson Mr. Richard Ford ,.o..,o...., ..,..,... W 'illiam Govern Dorothy March ...........,.,. ........

Kenneth Peck Bernice Clark and Ruth Hall did a lantern drill and Caro line Hickok a solo dance between the acts. lt seemed that they were fated for ill luck. lVhile prac tising for the play three of the players were taken sick, not at the same time however. Then, the night of the play, March 27, 1925, it rained and snowed so that they feared there would be only a small audience. However, much to their great surprise quite a large crowd braved the weather and came to the play. The play went off splendidly, aided by tl1e High School Or- chestra, and seemed to be very much enjoyed by the audience. The Seniors realized about one hundred dollars from the play and were so delighted that they decided to give tl1e play in lVindham. The date set to give the play at VVindham was April 8. There another disappointment awaited them. This time though, it was a dance that was being held in a town just a short distance away. They had a fairly good crowd, however, and realized about twenty-live dollars after all the expenses were paid.

Practice started with about twenty candi- dates. Coach Duncan picked out the best of these and formed two teams, the regulars and the 'tscrubs or second team. The team made a good showing considering the short practice, and at one time Stamford Seminary had a good chance for the cup. However, the Roxbury quintet defeated us twice and thus placed us in second place. The following are the scores: S.S.
