ilFanny And The Servant Problem MAGIXR Baths King a cross between Queen Yictoria and Goody-Two Shoesnl Unless your powers of imagination are especi- ally vivid you're in o s t l i k e l y doomed to failure, as were her T323 servant relatives who tried to con- vert her into one of the species. That was a quotation of one of Barbara's lines in Fanny and the Servant Problem , the junior class play in which she had the title role. An exceptionally good play it was too. in spite of the fact that a few timid wights let some tlakes of snow and a little breeze keep them by their own warm firesides. If you remember the night of the play you won't blame them too severely. Brownlee a Beau Brumme11 Billy Brownlee, playing the mas- culine lead as Vernon Wfetherall, the happy young bridegroom, was all and more that a bridegroom should be. If it were not for the really fine acting ability which he d i s p l a y e d, our handsome Lord Bantock must have established him- self as the Beau Brummell of all time. W'hen he appeared in white linen golf knickers, the feminine eye followed him for the rest of the evening. And while clothes are being men- tioned, the girls in that play cer- tainly didnit look like any last year's models. That is, with the excep- tion of the servants and the aunts, lfdith and .-Xlice, who wore the sweetest pink silk ncgligees with little lace caps to match ever seen in a Topeka high production. lianny's unexpected guests, the chorus girls, were really a lovely sight to behold. They came in with just the right amount of gurgling and screaming and settled over the stage like a bevy of butterflies. Sarah johnson was the Ann Hard- ing type of blonde in blue velvet and a little white hat. Mary Hoge- boom and l'atty Shoaf were vivid in red. Barbara herself flashed on and off in red wool, black velvet, white lace, and brown silk in such quick succession it was difficult to deter- mine which costume was the most attractive, if one could be more so than another. Ernie Gets Embarrassed Catherine Dunkel certainly proved her acting ability playing the part of jane, the stiff. strict, disapproving ladies' maid. It was a role quite far removed from Katieys natural personality, but she really succeeded in putting it over. And poor little Ernie-pathetic, bullied, little boy servant-played by liernie liriman, was really ap- pealing. lt was hard to tell for a ni om e n t when our lovely Lady liantock dropped a kiss on his brow whether little Ernie was going to laugh or cry. lle did neither. Gerald Gossett a s s i s t e d Miss Gertrude XVheeler as student di- rector, Hazlett Steiger aided H. D. Shotwell as student business man- ager, and Lois Sholander served as property manager. Audience Likes Cracks ln spite of its four acts, the play was lively and fast moving. The audience responded to its many comical lines and Hcracksu with spontaneous laughter. From time to time a guffaw burst forth from some one of the spectators, cer- tainly genuine in its compliment to the actors even if it did about scare the u n w i t t i n g neighbors of the laugh's owner out of their seats. Between the acts there was en- tertaimnent by the music depart- ment, which put on various solos, dances, and stringed numbers di- rected by Miss Evelyn Fulton. That the junior play of '32 was to be a success was ascertained the moment Barbara King and Billy Brownlee crept onto the stage, and upheld to the last curtain drop and the lights up.

Elsie and Jim Reign HE climax of the All-School party held Friday, December Ui. was undoubtedly the disclosing of the King and Queen, .lim Landes and Elsie Lillard. lYith the stage set as a large union depot, the audience was lb en- tertained for an hour by a program varying from Earl Feeley's wise- cracks to the stunt presented by the faculty. The Hungry Five as- sisted by Earl Feeley opened the entertainment. A in on g the passengers on the iirst car to arrive at the station were eight chorus girls, led by Dor- othy Lewis. They were 'lean Camp- bell. Elsie Lillard. Paula McDaniel, .lean Swan, Dorothy jane Nlfillcuts, Marjorie Beard, Betty Eidson, and Kathryn Burt.

Billye June sang a popular number. Qff and on through the entire program Arrival of King, Queen Climaxes Party Program Earl Feeley kept the a u cl i e n c e laughing as he was supposedly try- ing to catch the train. Roxy Sudduth, lflen ry Mark- ham, and Nadean Burch presented several musical munbers. An annual feature of the All- School party program is the faculty stunt. Miss Carmie XfVolfe directed this part of the program, which showed another group of travelers. Mary jane Vtfisegarver, Alida Terrill, George Walker, and Ray lluzzell composed a bell-hop chorus which presented a tap dance. Royal Couple Arrives The train bringing t h e royal couple was the next to arrive. Witli llilly Brownlee acting as master of ceremonies, Elsie and Jim, in truly regal fashion, thanked the students for the honor bestowed upon them, i 'Y 1: Scene from Program Of course, every depot at Christ- mas tinie has its college crowd com- ing home for the holidays. ,lane Harper, Paul lobe, Dick Richards, Howard Cook, Duane Harper, Charles Neiswender, Dick Gutting, Claude Burns, and Yernon Rector formed this group. Hampton Smith, Isla B u n dy, Grand Finale of Program The scene of the party then changed to the cafeteria and the side shows. Ray Vlfilliams and his orchestra furnished the music for s e V e r al hundred who cared to dance, while stunts and games had been planned by the various clubs for the entertaimnent of the other guests. ln the center of the group are the King and Queen.
