Planned primarily as a Reading Club, it served as an outlet for the! irrepressible spirits of the members — but perhaps the less said on that score, the better. Those of us who are leaving will surely miss the lively dinner parties enjoyed during the winter. We who are staying can only hope the next fall’s organization will prove as interesting. The teachers who will not return to Webster in September are: Doris Rodwell, Angilean Reynolds, Helen McNamara, Olive Rodman, Isobel Beck- with, Edith Starratt and John Corbett.

Eugene is the worthy president of the class of ’24. Nothing seems to worry him, everything interests him, even the girls. To them, it is somewhat em harassing for him to manifest his interest, but these words seem to ring in his ears, “Practice Makes Perfect.’’ Keep going, Eugene, success seldom comes in early youth.

Cliauncey is one of the live wires of the Senior Class. He tills his position well as President of the Students’ Associa- tion, and always creates quite a stir by his “Any more business to come before the meeting?” Cliauncey is also noted for his great motto: “Freedom of Speech, Freedom of Conscience, Free of Charge.” Success to you, Cliauncey!

CLARE RYAN Webster, New York Class Play 3; Tnter-Class Basket Ball 3; Reveille Staff 3; Editor-in-Chief Reveille 4; Class Secretary 4; Editor of School Notes 4; Assistant Director of Play 4. Clare is the valuable product of the Senior Class. She exceeds us all in knowledge, especially in “English.” And how she can talk! particularly “Medina.” She also takes a great interest in sports, for instance “hiking,” She is always on time when there’s some fun to be had, but her motto is “Work before pleasure.” Medina High School Wells College 1924 Page Twelve SENIORS GEORGE WILLIAM IIERMANCE Webster, New York Business Malinger play 3; Stock Judging Team 3; Foot Bull 3, 4; Class Treasurer 4; Class Play 4; Operetta 4; Glee Club 4; Manager of Basket Ball 4. George is one of the select of the Senior garden. His countenance resembles that of a blushing rose. No wonder lie was leadnig man in the Senior play. But, “Oh,” we cried, “What made you get so red?” “Why, it was the reflection of Dorothy’s curls”, he said. Never mind if we do tease, George, we all like you just the same.

Much credit is due to Elsie for her skill in the Basket Ball games. Being so tall, she made an excellent center for the team. The teams for the coming years will surely miss her.

Glance over our pages and note our illustrious members. Never has W. H. S. ' been able to boast a class so surpassing iu charm, energy, effort and accomplish- ment, so skilled in whispering and passing notes, so talented in “stalling off” questi ons not learned, so animated in school activities and so unrivalled in abilities. The Juniors believe in and support our plans, and we, in turn, be- nignly favor the young class. We ask the Junoirs, isn’t that so? The Washington Trip The Senior Class of 1924, as per schedule, took the enjoyable trip to Wash- ington, Philadelphia, Atlantic City and the surrounding points of interest. Only eleven members of the class were able to take this wonderful trip under the care of Mrs. A. D. Andrws as chaperone. The party left the Lehigh Valley station Friday, April 18th, at !):00 o ' clock in company with Mr. F. W. Van Zile of Ilolley. The Senior classes from War- saw, Lvndonville, Spencerport, Lyons, Gasport, Webster and Ilolley made the party number one hundred and seventy-live. It rained all day and the day might have been rather dreary had not acquaintances been so quickly made between membrs of the Webster party and members of the Holley party. We arrived in Washington about 11 : )0 P. M. and the first, thing we saw. after leaving the 1’nior. Station was the great white dome of the Capital illum- ined by spotlights thrown upon it from the surrounding buildings. We were taken to Hotel Harrington in large buses; by eleven-thirty we wore all in our rooms — but we were not quiet, by any means. Saturday morning we left the Hotel at 8 :30 visiting first the Central Market, which is the largest market of its kind in the world. From there we went by boat down the Potomac to George Washington ' s home at Mt. Ver- non. Here we visited the mansion, the old kitchen, the garden, stables, spin- ning house and the old and new tombs of Washington. uwm Page Nineteen We left Mt. Vernon at 3 o’clock going by chartered trolley to Alexandria and Alexandria Cemetery. At Alexandria we went through the Masonic Lodge rooms, of which order, George Washington was a member, and Christ Church, which Washington attended. At Arlington we visited the Amphitheater, the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier and the Lee Mansion. In the evening, a party dinner was held at the hotel. The rest of the evening was free for one to do what he wished; and everyone took advantage of the opportunity. Sunday morning was free for those who wished to go to church. In the afternoon we visited the Corcoran Art Gallery, Zoological Garden and the Franciscan Monastery. The evening was spent at the Congressional Library; that, surely, was worth the price of the whole trip. Monday morning we visited the Washington Monument, the Bureau of Printing and Engraving, and the Old National Museum, where we had l un- cheon. In the afternoon the party visited the Capitol, visiting the Senate, ITouse of Representatives and the Supreme Court. Then we went through the underground passagway from the Capitol to the Senate Office Building where we were given permission to go through Senator Wadsworth’s offices. From the Capitol we went to the White House, to hear the U. S. Marine Band. We also had the privilege of seeing Mrs. Coolidge and Mrs. Hughes. Tuesday morning we visited the New National Museum and spent the rest of the day at Annapolis, visiting the Naval Academy and t I iq Old State Office, where George Washington resigned his commission as Commander-in-Chief of the United States Army. Wednesday was spent at the Pan-American Building, Red Cross Building, the Treasury Building and the White House. Wednesday evening, we left for Philadelphia, arriving about nine o’clock. In Philadelphia we visited the Curtis Publishing Company Building, In- dependence Hall, Wanamaker’s Store and the Navy Yards Friday was spent in Atlantic City. Friday evening at nine o’clock, we left for home. We arrived in Rochester at seven-thirty Saturday morning, tired, but glad that we had had such an opportunity to go to the United States Capital. Miss Knight— “Young man, you should emulate Washington and Lincoln, vou should try to follow in their footsteps.” Bill Smith — “But I wear a size fourteen shoe.” W. H. S. The Senior Play On March 21, the Senior Class presented the charming three-act comedy, “Come Out of the Kitchen,” to a capacity audience. The story of the play concerns a Virginia family of the old aristocracy, by the name of Daingertield. The elder members of the family are in Europe where the father is seeking to regain his health. The four children, Paul, Elizabeth, Olivia and Charles, find themselves in financial difficulties and de- cide to rent their home to a wealthy Yankee. One of the conditions of the lease is that a competent staff of white servants shall be provided. At the last moment the servants fail to come and Olivia concieves the. madcap idea that she, her sister and their two brothers shall act as the domestic staff for the Northerner. When Burton Crane arrives, accompanied by Mrs. Falkner, her daughter Cora and Crane ' s attorney, Mr. Tucker, he finds the servants acting in a manner so out of the ordinary that amusing complications arise at once. Dorothy Corrigan as Olivia, alias Jane Ellen, portrayed the part of the Irish cook in such a delightful manner that one felt she had but recently left the Emerald Isle and had kissed the Blarney Stone before leaving. The part of Burton Crane was well taken by Ge orge Hermanee who found himself un- able to resist the charms of his Irish cook. Howard Schrader, in the part of Paul, alias Smithfield, the Butler, found it hard to preserve order in the kit- chen where Alice Hartung, as Elizabeth, who was a little sulky by nature, freed her mind regarding the aristocratic Mrs. Falkner and where Chauncey Cobb as Charles, alias Brindlebury, the all around boy, alternately broke dishes and threatened Tucker for coming into the kitchen to see Jane Ellen. The part of the haughty and overbearing Mrs. Falkner was exceptionally well taken by Roberta Andrews while Theodore Burnett as Tom Lefferts and Hilda Shaw as Cora certainly had their troubles in trying to circumvent Mrs. Falk- uer in her endeavor to separate them. Ethel Gaston as Amanda was a typical old negro mammy. Eugene Baird as Weeks, an agent for the Daingerfields, proved himself a worthy champion of Miss Olivia. The part of the self-im- portant Tucker was well taken by Ronald Smith who “in all excitement never missed a stroke.” The play was under the direction of Miss Mary Knight, whose untiring effort together with the hearty co-operation of all the members of the Senior Class made it a very pleasing entertainment as well as a financial success. George Morley— “She says her face is her fortune.” Leat Pugh “Then she needn’t worry about paying an income tax.” 19 2 4 Page Twenty-one mmm Junior Class THE JUNIORS President — Roy Corrigan. Vice-President — Gertrude Baker. Secretary — Margaret Brucker. Treasurer — Victoria Arndt. Class Colors — Green and Silver. Class Flwei — White rose with fern. In September or 1921, about sixty green Freshmen entered upon their high school careers in old Webster High. Their Freshman year having passed successfully, they met in 1922 as Sophomores. During that year they selected their class banner. Shortly after school opened in 1923, the Junior Class met and elected officers. The first business brought up wad the selection of class rings. This was attended to with the satisfaction of all concerned. During the year, several class parties were held. The first was a roast, at the home of Virginia Foley. Owing to the raiuy weather, the sweet com and potatoes were cooked in the house. All spent an enjoyable evening never- theless. The Seniors and Juniors combined held a Hallowe’en Party at old Webster High, with the Senior High Faculty as chaperones. At the last party they were entertained at the home of ' Wilhehnina Busch. A very happy even- ing was spent in dancing and games. Such were our class activities. The Junior Play The Juniors presented on February 21st, a fine production of “Clarence,” one of Booth Tarkington’s clever plays. The class was fortunate in having excellent play to tfork on and also in having people able to portray the char- acters well. The play centers about the fortunes of Clarence, a returned soldier who, after much search, find a position with Mr. Wheeler. His entrance into the Wheeler household brings many complications, because, little is known of his past life. After many clever and amusing situations, they ultimately discover Clarence to be Dr. Smith, an eminent biologist. To the distress of Cora and Page Twenty-three W. H. S. arnas Bobby, the two Wheeler children, Clarence and Miss Pinney, Cora’s governess, become engaged and leave t he Wheeler home. The part of Clarence, which is vry long and requires considerable charac- ter study and poise was very well done by Roy Corrigan. Dorothy Hardy made a most charming Miss Pinney and worked well with Clarence. Mr. and Mrs, Wheeler, George Morley and Eva Ilosenfeld) took rather difficult parts in a splendid way, Ronald Abbott as Hubert Stim, (who was Cora’s grass widower” as Bobby says), the only villian in the play, blustered in a most convincing way. Margaret Kennedy, Blanche Pellett and Cecil Newton, tak- ing smaller parts, a secretary, maid and butler, respectively, proved that even a small part gives opportunity for real work and ability. Cora and Bobby, flapper sister and brother, were most happily portrayed by Mildred Merz and Gerald Barrett. They rowed, stormed, laughed and wept, most convincingly to the great amusement of all. Taken as a wide, “Clarence” was very successful and the Class of 1925 has shown that it has quite a bit of talent and may look forward to even better work the next. time. Also it was well done, owing to the earnest efforts of Miss Starratt, the class advisor, who coached the play. Junior Class Roll Ronald Abbott is the class athlete.

In September, about thirty members of the class of ’26 entered upon their life as Sophomores in Senior High. After the first week, the class was organ- ized with the promise of many good times during the year. Among these was a Hallowe’en party, held at the home of Ruth Struck, at which many were seen dressed as ghosts and goblins, and a backward party in the school building, where most appeared with their clothes on backwards and some even walked backwards; the whole party was backward, even the refreshments were served backward, beginning with the ice creaam and ending with sandwiches. Th class banner, diamond shaped, with border and letters of scarlet, and background of white, was secured and placed upon the east wall of Senior High during this year. Several candy saled and a notion sale were held, during the year, with the hope of securing a little money for future needs. Miss Reynolds — “What are pauses?” Agnes Rolland — “They grow on eats!” Senior — “There’s a town in Masachusetts named after you.” Proud Junior — “Yes, what’s its name?” Senior — ‘ ‘ Marblehead.

When school opened in September, we found seventy-five Freshmen enrolled at Webster High School. Our first move was to elect the above officers. Since then our activities have been extended in many lines. As the result of numerous sales, we were able to present thirty-eight dollars to the school. In October, a masked party was held in the gymnasium followed by a Christ- mas party in the school hall. In January, our number increased to one hun- dred two, making it impossible to hold more parties. As school went on, we found Freshmen representatives on the Base Ball Team and in the Junior High Operetta. With Miss McNamara as our guide, we took many interesting journeys to lands famous in literature, stopping one Midsummer Night in the Forest of Arden, but the sterner members of the class, not content with witnessing the Athenian lovers, and Bottom, rehearsing mirth-provoking platitudes, took the journey to Hades and, finishing the trip, some spent their time with “The Last of the Mohicans” while others did ‘‘As You Like It.” CHEAP! CHEAP! “Gosh 1 feel like a million rubles.” “How’s that?” “Thirty cents!” Professor — Give for one year the number of tons of coal shipped out of the United States.

This building, when completed, will stand as a monument to the splendid public spirit of this favored, forward-looking community. Its cost of $370, 001) represents a large expenditure but adequate educational facilities could not be secured for less When the building is completed and the citizens of the community have hud an opportunity to inspect the new building; to compare it with others recently erected, and to realize what it mean to the youth! of Webster, the work of these men will receive the stamp of community approval and alL will share in the pride that can be honestly felt in the. new Webster High School. The new building will furnish educational facilities for all of the people of the community. The kindergarten and first two grades will be on the ground floor and the remaining grade rooms will be directly above on the next floor and in the east wing of the building. In the center of the building on the second floor will be a large school and community library. In the west wing of the building and adjoining the library will be the main study hall and class rooms of the Junior High School. The top floor will be devoted principally to the Senior High School. On this floor will lie found tlie.Physics, Chemistry, Biology and General Science Laboratories. On the first floor in addition to the rooms mentioned will be located the rooms for vocational education — Agriculture, Shop, Commercial and IIome-Making. Adequate provision is made for Health Education — the increasing im- portance of which is being recognized. A gymnasium with a gallery along either side and a clear floor space 40x70 occupies the. central portion of the building. Above the gymnasium is the auditorium which with the gallery lias a total seating capacity of nearly 800. This room will he used daily, for the assembly of the Junior and Senior High pupils and at least twice a week for garde pupils. It should become, too, a great community center. When completed Webster will have one of the finest and best arranged school buildings in all New York State. To it the citizens may point! with a pardonable pride. Within it the W obster boys and girls should receive tin training they need for life. The whole community should reflect the benefits of this institution. Page Thirty-five Football Squad W. H. S.

The call for football was sent out early in September and about eiglieen i ’cn reported for practice ., only a few of whom were veterans. Therefore, ‘Dr. Baxter, assistd by Mr. Kupninger, had a difficult task in turirng out a team from such liglit and inexperienced fellows After two weeks of hard practice, the team set out to play the first game at Seottsville. The results of the games were as follows: Seottsville at Seottsville Webster 19 Opponent 7 Seottsville at Webster „ 9 14 Caledonia at Webster „ 10 7 Medina at Medina 6 27 Fairpnrt at Fairporf 0 55 Wayland at AVavland 6 40 By a glance at the scores, it: would seem that Webster had a very unsuc- cessful season, but, considering the two games won and experience gained by the players, we had a very good season. Much credi t is due to Dr. Baxter for his liberal service to W. II. S. The best showing made by our fellows was at. the splendid banquet given the squad by the Faculty Club, iu the Presbyterian Church parlors on No- vember 21. With many of the fellows back, a schedule already being made up, and Dr. Baxter for a coach, our 1924 season shows great chances for proving suc- cessful.

The-Ream developd rapidly but due to much sickness among the players andjthe ineligi- bility of certain players for scholarhsip reasons the team was greatly handi- capped throughout t he whole season. Although we only won five games, we do not consider our team a failure. Nearly every game we played was of the “nip and tuck’’ variety and no league team found us easy to beat. Just to remind you what our team was capable of doing when they were “hitting their stride”, we completely outclassed Speneerport on our court and took both games from IToneoye Falls by decisive victories. Our greatest feat was that of holding East Rochester who won the Monroe County Cham- pionship to a 33-30 score on their own court ; although we were beaten we gave East Rochester the hardest game of their season. With the return of nearly every man from this year’s squad and the new gymnasium, we are looking forward to a championship quintet in the coming year. The team will also have thee caching services of Mr. Huffman, a man well versed in Basket Ball, who is to become a teacher in Webster- High School next year; this will be a great asset to the team. Mr. Luffman played on both the Alfred and Rochester University teams and is capable of turning out a very good team.

The Webster High School Girls’ teams, in the season just closed, made the excellent record of twelve victories out of the thirteen games which they played. Early in the year, the girls were defeated by the Williamson girls, because of the absence from school of two of the best players. This was the first time that ' the Webster girls had ben defeated by a High School team in three years. Their scores this year were not as high as they formerly had been, because girls from 1 the second team were used in every game, in order that all ten girls should be eligible, for a felt letter. Thej Webster High School girls, by virtue of victories over the leading Monroe County teams, claim the championship of the County. The number of points which each girl scored during the term are: Katherine Binggeli, 240 points; Dorothy Hardy 59 points; Elsie Bertch 38 points; Phalanca Daansen 7 points; Charlotte Burnett 2 points.

We played only two games and these resulted in bad defeats for our team. Owing to poor condition of the athletic field, we decided not to have a team, but to drop this branch of athletics and introduce track in its place. INTER-CLASS TRACK MEET Track, a new sport for Webster High was started late this spring. Mr. Kuppinger of the faculty and a former University of Rochester dash man was in charge and arranged for an inter-class meet. This meet was held on 1 ark Avenue and the adjoining streets and resulted as follows: 100 Yard Dash— 1, H. Corrigan: II, H. Stuber; 111, R. Qninby; I , Straub. Time 11 seconds. .

A few days after the Inter-Class Meet Webster was represented by a team of seventeen athletes in the intersectional meet held in Rochester. The team only scored a total of two points but secured a lot of experience which promises to make Track a major sport in 1924-25. 26 fl j 26 I PS 1924 26j 26 1$ Page Forty-two m m mm 1924 PlKiirii IS 0 |L- Hr • 111- : |L__ -- ' L Ambl k . t V 1 HOME AND SCHOOL ASSOCIATION “We believe in the saered responsibility of Parenthood, in the immeasur- able influence of the home fireside, and the imminent need of our nation for wiser, better educated and nobler citizens. “I believe that I, as a Parent, should earnestly study the development of the child, keeping ever in mind the highest ideals and the influence of ex- ample. “I believe that I, as ; a Teacher, should ever keep before me the thought that — every word and attitude of mine in the school room makes an imprint, I know not how deep, on the plastic mind given into my keeping : I believe that I have a very real responsibility in the moral development of my pupils. “We believe that together the Home and the School can make this nation one of lofty ideals, supported by high-minded, truly educated and God-fearing men and women.” The greatest need of our nation today is for intelligent, honest, unselfish leadership. America ' s leaders, for the near future, will be chosen from the ranks of the students now in our High Schools. This tact is a challenge to the homes and the schools of our land to work together in the teaching and the training of the youth of today that they may become citizens of broad intelligence, of moral courage, of integrity of pur- pose, of true vision, ready for service. THE HOME AND SCHOOL ASSOCIATION AIMS: lo create a bond of friendship and fellowship between parents and teachers. To awaken an intelligent community interest in the purpose and achieve- ments of public education. To develop parental responsibility. To unify the standards and ideals of the home and school. To level barriers of misunderstanding. To submerge selfish prejudices. To discover school needs and plan to meet them generously.

ALUMNI NOTES As each year passes out, so a certain number of graduates pass put of Webster High each year. Graduation to them seems, and is, a great aphieve- Wient. hut they soon realize that it is truly only a “Commencement.” Many and various are the occupations undertaken by the Alumni. Many of the Alumni have seen fit to join the matrimonial ranks. Among these are: Hannah Foster Bowman and Carlton Bowman. Grace Stilwell Scribner. Ruth Wooster Brown and Harold Brown. Carl Cooman. Lois Boughton Wright and Wilbur Wright. Genevieve Drury Johnson. Other graduates have chosen to become physicians. Arthur Stokes is a floetor at the General Hospital of Rochester. George Hicks is abo doctoring in Rochester. William Norton has chosen Washington, D. C., as a suitable location to carry on his profession Tt must be that the teachers of W. H. S.Oell their students of the, many joys of teaching, since so many Webster High Alumni select that as their life work. Byron Robb is a professor at Cornell. Letty Foster is a school princi- pal on Long Island. Ottawa University in Kansas claims Ruth Campbell as physical instructor. Others who are pursuing the same work are: Osmond Wall, Blanche Ilartung. Ruth Hill, Louis Ileinmiller, Tva Shortt, George Cur- tiss, Seely e Dayton, Irene Coapman, Ruth Engert, Agnes Marehuer, and Mary Fosdick. Jessie Harris holds a very important position in Rochester. She is finan- cial manager at Utz Dunn’s. In this age of co-operation the farmers find it necessary to co-operate also. One way they have done this is by forming the Canning Crop Association. Thomts Wright, a W. II. S. Alumnus, is general manager of the New York State Canning Crop Association. Lloyd Skinner is in business with his father. He is an interior decorator at Malone. Still other occupations present themselves to those who seek. Wtilburn Wright is General Superintendent of the Syra-Cord Rubber Company. W. H. S.

Cornell University, April 27, 1924 Dearest : At six forty-five this morning, Galdys Watts, Laura Burnett and I took a hike to Six Mile ( ' reek We went and cooked our breakfast. It. was heaps of fun. Next week end we want t(V camp ' there if we can get special permis- sion. It is lovely there, with surrounding gorges, artificial falls and a dammed lake Lynn Bowman and Frank Thompson are coming to summer school, I guess. Lynn live-: at his fraternity and Frank eats there. I saw Marian Vandy at the Cornell Hop last nght, and she was having a wonderful time. She joined a Physmal Education sorority (honorary). One of the Seniors said Ilarolw Phillips was doing splendidly in Mechanical Engineering. He will be wearing his Senior Rlazer this week. (We call them awnings for they have sripes.) Walter Wright, you know, is to try out in New York soon, for the Olympic Games. Ted Wright went with the Cornell Base Ball team on their southern tour this spring.

Bill Salt and the crew of the “Bounding Billow” JUNIOR HIGH OPERETTA As a result of weeks of practice, under the direction of Miss Starratt, the Junior High Girls’ chorus presented to the public their operetta, “Windmills of Holland.” The plot is as follows: Wilhelmina and ' Hilda, the twq daughters of Myn- heer Hertogenbosch, teased their sweethearts, and, as a result, the boys sought other girls. An American salesman coming at this time, was, of course, well received, and made much of by the girls. The salesman, Bob Yankee, had a plan to show Hertogenbosch the advantage of electricity to run the mills, in- stead of the old-fashioned wind-mills. All the farmers’ daughters tried to get Hans and Franz to like them, but it was useless. When the story ended, the boys have returned to Wilhelmina and Hilda, electricity has been installed in the mill, and Katrina, one of the fanners’ daughters, is trying to win Bob Yankee. The Cast was: Mynheer Hertogenbosch, rich Holland farmer Mildred Specht Vrouw Hertogenbosch, his wife Ruth Scliarrett Wilhelmina and Hilda, Hertogenbosch ’s daughters Ethel Herman, Irma Hartung Bob Yankee, American salesman Jane Baker Hans, student of music Marian Burnett Franz, student of music Marian Burnett Fran, rich farmers’ son Katherine Gnage Katrina, rich farmer’s daughter Dorothy Brown THE HISTORY OF THE PHYSICS CLASS At the beginning of school early in September, a group of “green” pupils entered upon their duties in the Physics laboratory. By their appearance, one could tell that there were many shining lights among them. Although this class waited a long time for the arrival of their text-books, (which created not a little joy and sorrow) work progressed rapidly. One day the question arose whether, if two men were alone on perfectly frictionless ice, they could get off. Then the excitement began, and from; that uay to this, every time a question arises which creates an argument, ouP old friendly question of the men on the ice reappears. Yet the members of the class who indulge in these heated arguments have never had any bones broken as yet. This class kept up its good work on its way through the text-book until it came to electric currents. The boys were bound to believe that currents were for jam until Leo T. found out differently, by thd aid of a few shocks. Again we went on. The pupils began to get acquainted with their dug- out home in the! cellar. Mr. Kuppinger found a very nice play thing in, the form of a horse who, although he did not seem to be weighted or fastened to the standard, could not be tipped off. This he showed to the class. In public they felt that they were too old for such play, but in private — well, it was curious 1 One thing this class very seldom could do, was to prove that the experi- ments they had performed were correct. This was because of the incorrect and inadequate apparatus, and not because of the inability of the class mem- One day, a terrible catastrophe occurred.

W.’s complete book. l.ked T suchTL L sons. and ' With forbearance from something especially W. H. S. Then our class arrived at musical sounds. Our grand opera stars, such as G. B. had a chance to show their knowledge of musical sounds. You should have heard our wind orchestra, in which everyone took part and made music by blowing on a bottle. A short time later a wonderful solo was ren- dered by It. C. who tried to demonstrate to us how the scale would sound if formed as we said. We would suggest that he be asked to demonstrate for Students’ Association some time; this is part of the program. One nice characteristic of this little class is that they willingly take their almost weekly “formal problems” without very many groans. Another interesting fact it that this class is always listening to jokes, thus making our class a sort of combination of amusement and education. This class has only a short time left before it dissolves and the members surely are trying to make the most of them. They are resolved to make this class “the best ever.” —AGNES HOLLAND SHOULD HIGH SCHOOL DRAMATICS BE ENCOURAGED 1 Much enthusiasm and interest has been centered about the High School for several years until now, it is the custom for every Junior and Senior Class to give a play. When these plays were first given, the responsibility and management of the whole affair were in the hands of a teacher. But now, this is much changed and, even though a teacher oversees the play, it is the pulpits who really have the responsibility of producing the play. The business manager lias the tickets and programs printed, rents the hall, and takes care of the finances , the advertising manager puts out clever posters and sees that every- one knows about the play; the property manager searches the town to find suitable stage furnishings; and so it goes, until nearly everyone in the class has a part m making the play a success. These plays often show along what lines certain pupils are talented. Along with the other advantages, the financial one is, of course, important. It is practically the only means a class has for earning money on a large scale to help defray the expense of the Washington trip, and as the plavs furnish good, clean entertainment to the townspeople it seems to us that dramatics in the high school should be encouraged. — MARGARET BRUCKER ansiinn Page Fifty-one DARROW SCHOOL OF BUSINESS We offer to the Young People of Rochester and Vicinity: (lj A friendly school where sincere personal interest and co-opera- tion among students and faculty are evident.
