rW 1?ffJW M23 walrdfbw ,bww ff SllflIQlIElIEllf 99 Glimpses behind the scenes into the lives of two old maids with their matrimonial hopes a11d disappointments, their fading loveliness, their quaint manners and speech formed the plot of Quality Streetf' this year's senior class play presented May ll. Phoebe Throssel, a dual character role of the younger sister and a niece Miss Livvy, was portrayed by Margaret Carey. Her love affair with dashing Mr. Valentine Brown, George Burt, seems to have been somewhat a product of her own imagination when that young gal- lant goes off to war without making the ex- pected declaration or professing more than a brotherly interest. Hovering in the background, with loving solicitousness for the two young lovers was Susan, the elder sister, portrayed by Ruth Junker. Her entire affections and interest centered around Phoebe. Susan, having been disappointed in love, devotes her life to making Phoebe happy. Austere, commanding Miss Willoughby, played by Grace Tanney, the more shy Fanny Willoughby, Frances Butler, and prim little Miss Henrietta, Carolyn Goepfert, were on- lookers from their little window across the street and participants in this little tragedy of their neighboris life. Patty, the maid, played by Katherine Gunn, and the Sergeant played by John Wagner were comedy hits with their broad Irish accents and clever lines. Monica Langenfeld and Erle Hubbard, Charlotte and Blades, the citiiicd lady and gentleman of the Napoleonic period, furnished a contrast to the quiet life of Quality Street. Both B-lades and Spicer, George Hanson, pursue the capricious Phoebe in her role of Miss Livvy, but are disappointed when she assumes her rightful character as Miss Phoebe. 4'Quality Streetli is a literary classic of the Napoleonic Period, written by Sir James Barrie. It was directed by Miss Schuster, dramatic instructor. Of the twenty-three characters, ten of them appeared only in the schoolroom scene. John Wagner, stage manager, was assisted by Leonard Wagner, Jerome Kozak and Howard Kopp. 26

Vile look back with pride especially upon our final efforts and achievements in the various fields of scholastic and extra-curricular endeavor. Journalism, forensics, dramatics, music, athletics-not one of these wide fields did we leave untried-sometimes emerging victor- ious, sometimes not, but always with the satisfaction of having tried. At the beginning of the year the debate squad with two senior veterans, Delle Mackenzie and Donald Baddeley, bade fair to set a record in that field. Big Eight laurels and second place in a four- state meet fulfilled this expectation but the peak was not reached until the State Debate Championship had been won and with it the right to participate in the national tournament at Topeka, Kansas. In journalism our girl editor, Ruth Junker, and George Hanson, our business manager, succeeded in editing the Purple and Gold very ered- itably during their year in office. A conference football championship and wins of the district and regional basketball tournament finished up a successful year of athletics. Without a doubt music had its big- gest year and the graduation of senior members will be keenly felt. We, like our immediate predecessors, Hwent English in producing our final histrionic success- Quality Street by Sir James Barrie. Our chief executive office was intrusted to Lawrence Follett for the second consecutive year with Allen Mitchell, Marian Conley, and Stewart Gu11n assisting him in all official duties.
