As It Is Portrayed University High did not have just a spat- tering of the finer arts this year, as ten plays were presentedetwo by the Scar- let Masque, six by the Drama Class, one by the Senior Class, and one by the Sopho- mores. ','The Amateurs , a farce satirizing the average amateur high school play produc- tion, was presented at an assembly in Sep- tember and later at a P. T. A. meeting. On the evening of December 16, the rama Class presented three one-act plays. These were: Box and Cox , a farce popu- lar in England in the nineteenth century; Cabbaqes, a comedy about a mid-west- ern farm family that got rich quick; The Marriage Proposal, a play by the Russian playwright Anton Tchekoff, which portrays the life of the well-to-do country farmer in Russia. The Scarlet Masquers presented, on De- Sing And Be Happy cember 22, a Christmas play entitled Christmas Trimmings, a one-act comedy concerning a case of mistaken identity. In a pay assembly of February 1, the Dramatics Class gave two more one-act plays. One was Everybody's Doing It, a comedy laid in the office of a plastic sur- geon. The other was a mystery entitled The Inn of Return. The Sophomores started a precedent this year by producing a class play. It was a comedy in four acts entitled Romance in a Boarding House and was presented in the latter part of the spring. The only long play presented by the Drama Class was ct comedy in three acts, The Absent-Minded Professor, which was given April 6. Nothing But the Truth , the Senior Play, and Spring Fever, Scarlet Masque play, were other plays given in the year. t' Ktnhutt. g Eths.

In February the group broadcast over KORE in an old-fashioned program. Hobart Smith bass; Ray Richardson, baritone; and Darrel Adkinson, tenor, were chosen as members of the ZOO-Voice North- east Chorus to sing in concert at the Na- tional Music Educators' Conference in Ta- coma from March 28 to April 1.

The More We Get Together. The Happier We'll Be A-Tisket A-Tasket, dancing, romance, games, students, cokes, and alums-all scrambled together in Uni High, September 16, to make the traditional Merry Mix-Up a grand starter to the school's social whirl. Several new records augmented the dancing pleasure of about 200 students who were present. Among the games was a pin-ball machine that was played with- out money, a ping pong table, and other attractions. For the first time the Sophomores took the limelight. During intermission they in- troduced themselves by walking across the stage, and were heartily greeted by the old students. Cokes were sold to aspiring jit- terbugs during the evening. This dance was just the beginning of the round of dances given at University High School during the year. The Senior Class gave one of the most successful dances it has ever had, in the form of a Christmas Nothing But The Truth party. During the intermission the whole class joined together to sing Christmas carols. The Seniors also gave the Senior Ball after graduation. A new idea in dances, the cafe a la danse, was featured by the Junior Class in April. Following this dance was the April Showers dance, or the Junior- Senior Prom, on April 21. The Harvester's Swing was also given by this class. Ducks swimming, ducks swinging bats, ducks doing all sorts of athletic things were seen at two of the most cleverly decorated dances, those given by the Pep Club honor- ing the football and basketball teams re- spectively. The Duckling presented a dance, the Hi- Y gave two; the biggest dance in the year was given by the Girls' League; and the G. A. A. and Scarlet Masque gave dances, the first honoring royalty and the second honoring costumes. LEFT TO RIGHT: Martha. Moore, Hobart Smith, Bob Everett, Bill Tugman, Colver Waller, Jacqueline Laraway, Prlscnla Norton, Pat Stanard, Mary Ann Fox, Don Treadgold, Pauline Palmer; Miss Kay Mc Alear, director Departing from the traditional mystery play, the Seniors picked a three-act comedy this year for their dramatic production, Nothing But the Truth. The production was given before a large audience May 10 and 11, under the direction of Miss Kay MacAlear, dramatics major at the Uni- versity of Oregon. This play concerned a bet made requir- ing a man to tell the truth for one full day. 1201 He, as can be imagined, encountered many difficulties. Donald Treadgold took the part of Robert Bennett; Hobart Smith was E. M. Ralston; Bob Everett was cast as Dick Don- nelly; Bill Tugrnan as Clarence Van Dusen; Colver Waller as Bishop Doran; Mary Ann Fox as Gwen Ralston; Martha Moore as Mrs. E. M. Ralston; Jacqueline Laraway as Ethel Clark; Pat Stanard as Mable Jack- son; Priscilla Norton as Sable Jackson; and Pauline Palmer as Martha.
