W Growing Pains ,Di jg W ' f M4 H Who'cl have thought the little ones, it 7 1 5 ii' The high school juniors, gals and sons, f X V l At whom the seniors make the puns, LJ , A, f .N i Could give a play-'twas staged so wel j 'T 3 J That when the final curtain fell T V7 ' yi' Even lordly seniors said PtNvaS swell! . y N Ye north wind did blow and there was en f snowf Thusfdid old man winter i balk the attempts of the juniors to present their cl play. However, he cou1dn't keep W a good cast down for long. f'Growing Pains was finally presented for the public on March 2, after three postponements. Alvin Gilbertson was well cast as George, and Reva Smith as Terry, his younger tom-boy sister. Both were assailed by the trials and tribulations of growing pains, especially those of puppy love. Their problems added much to the worry and vexation of their mother and easy-going father, equally well portrayed by Shirley Rose and Dana Lepler. ' George's affections were wasted on the sophisticated Prudence, Louise Gustafson, who played her part well. Terry furnished a large number of laughs in her attempts to get a fellow by imitating the technique of Prudence. The gang, the dance, George's Model T, an affair with the law, and the purple passions of youth, all went to make for one of the most successful junior class plays on record. The Enemy With the Ethiopian war raging and European relations strained to the utmost, the faculty presented Channing Pollock 's anti-war drama, 'tThe Enemy, which showed full well the horror and futility of war. The play centered around two opposing factions-those for and against war. The thinking people, represented by the Arndt family, questioned its value, and the profi- teers, portrayed by the Mr. Behrend, expounded only the glory of battle. With the coming of peace Pauli appeared, bereft of husband and friends, and ter- ribly aged. Her prayer as the curtain closed was, God give us toleration-God give us love-and God give us peace! Say, Mandy-gal, would you have thunk That people who give grades and Hunk The students would their time have sunk To give a play? ' V W I'd think they'd say, It's all the bunk! It's all a hunk of bally-bunk, To waste my time on jolly junkf' I'd think they'd say. But did they say they would not? Or did they say they could not? No! I should say they did not! They gave a play.

Girls' Glee Club Mrs. Follon I did meet, And that I say, was quite a treat. Miss Lister also has a club And in this fact there is the rub, They're both so good it 's hard to say Which is the best in any Way. Singers striving through the medium of amateur hours to attain professional heights have nothing on the seventy-eight girls that have taken part in the musical ac- tivities of the Glee Club this year. Combining dancing and dramatics with their music, the girls and boys did their part in presenting 'tllarmony Hall. A program on March 20, made up of spring selections, was presented by the glee clubs, orchestra, and the small groups. Small representative groups also performed before civic clubs. Selected voices from both boys' and girls' clubs formed the Mixed Chorus with Mrs. Flora Follon as director. The chorus caught a bit of sunny Italy as they sang the 'A Italian Street Song. HI Love Life and the sacred number, Were You There? delighted the audience at the Spring Festival. Harmony Hall Three days a week the notes did soar, From music rooms on the first floor, The end was great, don 't you agree? For 'tIIarmony Hall you all did see! Mil Mi! Mi! voealized Signor Brownini, the conceited opera tenor, as he sere- naded his fiance, the prima donna Rosalie. The outstanding team work of Don Hammond and Virginia Blake was one of the fine points in the performance. The story centered around Rosalie and her foster father, General Earnest Work, who was attempting to promote a harmonious marriage between her and Brownini. Complications ensued, however, when Rosalie showed her preference for Doolittle Work, the General's hopelessly unlnusical son. Everything came out happily when Brownini transferred his affections to Maritana, Rosalie 's maid. - Mrs. Flora Follon, assisted by Mr- DR. Ilanson and Miss Dorothy Lister, was the musical director, and Miss Grace Schuster had charge of the dramatics. Boys' Glee Club Taking a musical tour seemed to be .he objective of the Boys, Glee club, which was directed by Mr. H. B. Hanson. Forty voices traveled The Old Road to the Spring Music Festival Where they sang the negro spiritual, 'tPilot, Lan' de Boat. The club then followed The Gypsy Trail back to the t'Land O' Nodaway' as the Lullaby Moon shone from above. The I-Iunters' Loud IIalloo sumnioned twelve voices which were later divided into three quartcttes. This group sang on high school radio programs lending variety to the numbers of the whole club, and also entertained at the civics clubs' noon lunch- eons. The Green Little Apple always provided a laugh as did The Piazza Tragedy. Glee Ulub do the right name he, Them boys is brimmin' full of gleeg But when they settle down to Work, They shirk less than a school board clerk
