For five years the Welhisco has been ably sponsored by Miss Eberle, to whom We owe our most sincere gratitude for all she has done. To her we gladly dedicate the 1935 W elhisco. 0000000191-150000000 Tragedy During the year tragedy has been part of our repertoire. Two of our troupers, LaVerne Coe, a freshman, and Clara Rigg, a sophomore, were taken from our number. The loss of one of the board of directors was another severe blow to us. All who knew Dr. John Pardue regret his passing. Page Four Board Like every other theatrical performance our own has need of an administrative board and financial advisers. Despite straitened economic circumstances this group engineered our annual production, budgeting even more carefully than before to make a full performance possible. Mr. Ernest F. Bush has added another year to his stay with us as administrator. Working with him has been a new group of board members. Those elected to serve during the 1934--35 season were Mrs. George Percival, Mr. Fred Dunard, Mr. John Hill, Mrs. David Moore, Mr. Roy Cosper, and Dr. John Pardue. Unfortunately three vacancies were left at the resignation of Mr. Hill and Mr. Cosper and by the death of Dr. Pardue. Replacing these men have been Mr. Roy Houston, Dr. Irl Hicks, and Mr. Fred Cossom. U Q I Page Five Stage Directors L , 1 s Mn.1..u:n M. H.XI,'l'PIIl. M.A. J1'1.1.x B. Grc1swor.I1.

These students are chosen on the basis of their personal attri- butes and services to their alma mater. The presentation of all distinctions occurred again this year at the annual W Banquet which is always a high-light of the school term. The citizenship W's were awarded to Dorothy Mclntire, Georgia Dalton, Ines Pellarin, and Ruth Whitworth. Honorable mentions went to Loretta Wilkenloh. Paulina Kauz, Madeline Neary, Ruth Fletcher, Dorothy Elder, Ruth Kessler, Billie Driskill, Pearl Rittel, Richard Turner, Josephine Hughes, Catherine Stubblefield, Walthene Thies, Lorayne Knight, Louis Doerr, Sidney Kelly, and Eugene Mosier.

To guide them through their initial act they chose Pete 0,Connell as president, Alma Lee Wachter as vice-president, Joe Moore as secretary-treasurer, and Ines Pellarin and Alvin Purl as council representatives. During the course of the run of the show this group of troupers entertained the older stars at a Valentine Dance. Several outings filled pleasurable intermissions in Act I. Some of these young actors began to show signs of becoming stars rather than of being only temporarily featured artists. The more promising ones were Mitchell, Hogan, Parlett, I. Easton, D. Easton, Metzner, Wiley, Pellarin, Barnett, Shamel, Mclntire, Moehrle, Mosier, Eudaley, and Wilkenloh. When the show opened the next year, many of this same group were placed in the same theatre. The following persons were given the leads: Alvin Purl, presi- dentg Mary Moehrle, vice-president, Georgia Dalton, secretary-treasurer, Ines Pell- arin and Louis Doerr, council representatives, were given the task of being managers for this second run. The girls of this group organized a club called the S. S. S. They gave several parties and had as their guests at one of these affairs the oldest players--the seniors. Parlett, Verseman, Hogan, Doerr, Mitchell, Shamel, Pellarin, Hughes, Wiley, and Tomlinson continued their careers as outstanding troupers. The following season many of this group returned to the home stage. Their managers for this opening were Robert Parlett, president, Ines Pellarin, vice-presi- dentg Elmer Verseman, secretary-treasurer, Georgia Dalton and Louis Doerr, coun- cil representatives. The outstanding entertainment of this run was the Prom given for the older troupers. This took place on the evening of March 16, 1934- at the Ferguson Country Club. - lllllll1935llOlllll Page Ten UUUICWELHISCOOOOOOO f. -l-he Senior Class ELM ER VPIICSPIRI AN Class Set'rotary-Irvasurt-r, 3: Class Treasurer. il-g Hi-Y. 2.

Heading the troupe were a few of the well-known stars of the years before with the addition of several new finds. This group included Mosier, Pellarin, Shamel, Hogan, Mitchell, Doerr, Hughes, Wiley, Wilkenloh, Tomlinson, Bewig, E. Verseman, C. Verseman, and Moore. For the final presentation and the most important year this cast selected as president, Louis Doerr: vice-president, Dorothy Mclntire: secretary, Loretta Wilken- lohg treasurer, Elmer Versemang council representatives, Ines Pellarin and John Hogan. The most interesting interludes of this year were the special play given by a group of stars, and their picnic. The play, Hold Everythingf, was a very successful aliair. As yet the picnic has not taken place. It is doubtless safe to predict that an unforgetable holiday will be theirs. Last year Loretta Wilkenloh was one of the two maids attending the May Queen. This year all of the five candidates for the queenship are of the senior class. They include Dorothy Mclntire, Georgia Dalton, Maxine Tomlinson, Ines Pellarin, and Loretta Wilkenloh. The usual outstanding members are now ending their careers as local stars. llllOl193500llll season WELH'L.SCO ooo i ' The Sen I NES PELLARIN Claw l'ir4--prvsiclvnl. 3: Slumlvnl Cuunn-il. l. 2. 3.

Their class consisted of seventy-eight members, the largest junior class ever enrolled. During the course of the year the girls gave two spreads. They had as their guests Miss Griswold, Miss Sehaufert, and Mr. Nibeck at the first one. Miss Schaufert was the only guest at the second one. The junior girls also had their own club which they called the a'Goon Sistersf' They met every two weeks at the home of one of the girls. Games were played and refreshments were served. Everyone always had a good time. Various members of the class have distinguished themselves as athletes. The bo s are Sieland, Smith, Re 'nolds, Moore, Vatterrodt, Biseak, and Jordan. The Y Y girls taking part in athletics are Kauz, Neary, Graddy, and Grotwiel. The juniors are now looking forward to the Prom and are making many plans for it. B Next year will be the most important year for the juniors, we hope they will entenmit with as muvh spirit as they have had in previous years. lll1935llllll Page Fourteen OOQOOWELHISCOOOOOO I - f,'.

Not content to rest on its laurels. it recommended its energetic career this year upon the opening of its second act in the four-act drama of school life, The Women's Clubs of lVlissouri sponsored the gathering of promising sopho- more girls from the high schools of the state at Jefferson City. Each second-year class throughout lVlissouri selected its most outstanding girl student. The Vlfellston representative was Ruth Whitworth whom the sophomores were proud to send. ln musical comedy Mary Driskill had a secondary role which she handled with charm. Whatever thevtype of club may be. there are some strong members and leaders from the ranks of the class of '37. The girls who have made their mark as athletes are Pauline Roeper. Anita Hand- rieks. Mildred Lowery, Betty Wood, Ethel Taylor, Theo Stigall, Adele Croeeman. and lithel Cassidy. Paul Nolte, Bud Uthe.

The freshmen gave the annual Valentine party for the upper classmen which was attended by many students and members of the faculty. Those guests at the party were to be in childish costumes, accordingly, many of us went back to our infant days. Because of the festive air which the costumes gave to the occasion and because of the entertainment, the party was very successful. A Those of high scholastic standing throughout the year are Ruth Fletcher, Mary Louise Burke, Beatrice Aubuchon, Jack Mitchell, Marian Pardue, Eileen Russell. Gertrude Studt, and Dorothy Fassold. ' A number of the boys and girls of our class have been outstanding in athletics. They are Miriam Melton, Gertrude Studt, Dorothy Hurst, Shirley Ann Summers, Mattie Reitz, Roy Drinning. Roy Gerken, Alvin Hammer, Clay lten, and Warren O'Connell. Ol0lOll1935llllll Page Sixteen OOOOOWELHISCOOOOOO . . V V -f . lmm-M., J f C -1 'uf' W. ' Bark mu-: Wiley. Hoskins. Wilkvnloh. Folvy.

Each year Council has striven to serve the school more adequately. Its first duty this year was to revise the point system. This was done in order to reduce the activities of the students, as some of them were trying to undertake too many activities. A new system was developed very satisfactorily. During the course of the year Council sponsored two public dances and the Hallowe'en party given by the upper classmen for the freshmen. The proceeds of the dances were given to the organizations to help pay for their pictures in the Madeline Neary Mary Moehrle Billy Beisel Louis Doerr Walthene Thies Kay Stubblefield Kenneth Creenwell Henry Stoverock Welhisco. Council gave its most ardent support to the Carnival, which was engineered to supplement the student fund.

Before the 1934- edition the junior class had sponsored the publication. This new method of selecting the staff has resulted in greater efficiency in the work. ln the attempt to finance the annual, the staff promoted popcorn and candy sales and entertained on March 9 with one of the most delightful dances of the season. As usual, the organization sponsored the selection of the May Queen, who was crowned at the May Fete on May 24. Following the afternoonls entertainment came the Coronation Dance. a fitting climax to our social calendar. ln the annual subscription contest the senior class was the winner of the silver Wcllzisco trophy. lllClll193S QCCQUCU Page Twcnlysonc OOIOOWELHISCOOOICO Bark ron-: Lace , Lowe.

An innovation of the 19341--35 publications has been the addition of two pages of cart0ons4L'Kartoons by Kayf, With the rapid growth in the number of students, an increase in the circulation has resulted. The Art Staff is indebted to Miss Van Studdifford for occasional help received. The Flashlight has endeavored to cooperate with the various organizations in their drives on courtesy, safety, etc., by a series of pertinent editorials. The sponsorship ofthe organization has this year passed into the hands of Miss Eleanor Summers, a new member of the faculty. 0000001935 '. Page T ty-two OOOOOWELHISCOOOOOO Buck mic: lllllalhan. l,.

Billy lleisel The members of last year's dramatic club met early in the school term to re- organize. As it has long been felt that the Club has formerly offered opportunities to only those interested in acting, the sponsors and members developed a new organ- ization consisting of these three departments: Ill histrionics under the guidance of Miss Niles and Miss Sechrest, 121 costuming under Miss Chaneyis direction, and 133 stagecraft under the supervision of Mr. Nibeck. With this system, which naturally has interested more students than ever, the club has had very smooth sailing in presenting its frequent programs. The annual production of the three-act play, Yesterday's Rosesf' was directed by Miss Sechrest. Cloudburst,', HWeiner's on Wednesday',', NThe Turn in the Roadf, and Who's a Coward? were unusually well handled by both the casts and the direetor, Miss Niles. Miss Chaney stepped from the role of wardrobe mistress to present a one-act comedy called A Man Proposes. llOlllU1935lllllCO Page Twenty-three 1 nv 00000 WELHISCO 00000 Burk row: Sanders, Kelly.

E dward Vatterrodt Council Representative ................. Louis Doerr Mr. Rest, a student at Eden Seminary, became the sponsor of the organization. Because the ranks were depleted through the loss of seniors, new members were chosen and initiated. The initiation will remain an unwritten chaperl Probably one of the most memorable events took place when the group went out to Willie Kauzls clubhouse on the Meramec River. The boys took out their energy on a game of football. The understanding was that it was to be a game of utouchl, instead of tackle, but before long there was blocking, stiff-arming, and tackling. Everyone there knew it was dangerousto play without regular equipment, but that did not dampen the fun. Even the sponsor entered in. The idea of food was of prime importance. Then came the race. It was not scheduled, but Shamel and Mitchell brought it on when they tried to get more than their share of food. The joint charity work of the Girl Reserves and Hi-Y at Thanksgiving and Christmas is a tradition which the club has always been glad to uphold. The annual Hi-Y dance came this year on May eleventh. The two-fold purpose of having a good time and of raising funds were happily accomplished. 00000001935 0000000 Page Twenty-four OOOOIWELHISCOIIOOO l lhrclc mir: Bm-wig. F11-tr-hr-r. Russ:-ll.

Because this aroused much enthusiasm among the new girls, the club had a repre- sentation of about sixty girls at the first meeting. Later the group hiked out to Paulina Kauzis farm. A memorable event it was, too. At Thanksgiving and Christmas, dances were held after school hours, admission being that of canned good or ten cents for donations to those in need. ' The annual banquet was given during December when the new girls were recognized. An important event of the year was the sponsoring of a Courtesy Drive through- out the school. The Girl Reserves and the Torch Club cooperated in order to make this drive a success. The girls will not forget all the enjoyment derived from the pot luck suppers that took place at private homes. They dressed dolls for an orphans, home at these su ers. ppThe Young Womenis Christian Association during the year sponsored four inter- club events in which the Wellston group participated. llllOll193'5llOOOlO Page Twmzty-jc' 'I ll ll 'I It 'VY E L li l S C CD lt lP'O lv'O d l lfflrlr mir: llvvlll. l.ow:-ry.

Pauline Kauz The Pepper club was organized by the senior girls of 1934. The club has since increased greatly in size and has become one of the most prominent societies in the school. Its purpose is to stimulate pep and school spirit. The Peppers attend as many of the athletic games as possible both at home and away. Initiation occurs every semester at which time the new members are dressed in their initiation outfits and are commanded by the old members. The club presented a football stunt at the Thanksgiving rally, which was en- thusiastically received. The new members, as a part of their initiation, gave a stunt in the auditorium. All the girls willingly distributed circulars for the carnival. This year a drill team was started and gave their first drill at the Wellston- Maplewood football game at lYormandy. A flashlight drill was part of the enter- tainment on the night of Open House. O' l .

The club has gone on a number of hiking and swimming parties. It was decided at the beginning of the term to have a manager of every sport that the girls participated in during the course of the year. These managers were to designate the number of points each sport would give the girls toward their letter. C. A. A. had a very enjoyable and profitable time this yearg it is to be hoped that next year will be as successful as the 1934-1935 season. l0OOl0l1935OlO0Oll Page Twenty-eight STAR f f ff TRCDUPERS QOOOIWELHISCOOOOOOO , l y Coach Nihc-ck Coach Oth Coach Halter Football The turn-out for the football season found Wellston with only a few linemen from last year. Doerr, E. Verseman, Hogan, Sieland, and Mitchell were the veterans. The only one of the backfield remaining from last year was Shamel. The season was open auspiciously with a victory over Madison with a score of 12-O. Unfortunately by the time the Clayton and St. Charles game came along, the team was suffering a great loss because of temporary ineligibilities and injuries. Out of courtesy to us, Normandy let us use her field for a night game with Maplewood. In the case of this contest, the score, which was in our opponents, favor, by no means told anything about the ability of Wellstonis players, who throughout the season seemed not to be especially favored by fortune. The victories over Principia and Ben Blewett in non-league competition were the results of some skillful playing. The last-minute touchdown against Blewett was ours after a beautifully executed forward pass. The annual Thanksgiving game with Normandy proved too much for our boys who were greatly outweighed and were hence handicapped against stronger forces. Wellston bowed to Normandy 32-6. New men who gave good accounts of themselves this year are Kelly, A. Smith, Jordan, E. Reitz, Trulaske, and Nolte. 0000000191-3500000000 OOIOCWELHISCOOCOOO 'ik Bn w: Reynolds, Horn, Hogan, Bcwig, Verseman Fmnz w: Smith, Mitchell, Shamel, Doerr, Kelly it Basketball Lettermen who reported for basketball from last year were Captain Shamel, Smith, and Hogan. Many new players supplemented the squad. With only a week of practice before the game with University City the boys suffered a decisive defeat, 37-10. Following practices yielded some improvement in team play, but they were not sufficient to prevent successive losses to St. Charles and Clayton. We enjoyed consecutive victories over Kirkwood in an exciting 22-21 contest, over Principia, a non-league opponent, and over Normandy. In this last game the Wellston team gave the outstanding performance of the season in rolling up the 18-11 score. . A reversal of fortune resulted in defeats at the hands of Ritenour, St. Charles, and Maplewood, the last one, being a typical Maplewood-Wellston contest, required extra time to 'settle the issue. New players who displayed ability throughout the season were Doerr, Mitchell, Kelly, and Sieland. 00000001935 .ffffff Page Thirty-one OOOOOWELHISCOOIOOI Hack rvw: C. Verseman, Horn, Gerken, E. Verseman, O'Connell, Reynolds Front raw: Rcitz, Hendricks, Mitchell, Kelly, Bcwig, Doerr Baseball After two years baseball has again become one of the major boys' sports. As the result of the absence of this sport from our athletic calendar, there have been no men of experience to use as the framework for the 1935 team. The recruits have been handicapped by a lack of practice largely on account of incessant rain and construction work on the playing field. Losses to University City, Maplewood, and Ritenour have been followed by a victory over St. Charles. Because of the weather's interference the playing schedule has not yet been com- pleted as the annual goes to press. The squad as a whole showed considerable improvement within the brief train- ing period. The pitching of E. Verseman and Sieland, the all-around excellence of Doerr's work, and the general dependability of M. Reitz, Cerken, Hendricks, and Kelly gave the needed strength to the team. 00000001935 'Cliff' Page Thirty-two f' OOOOOWELHISCOOOOOO Back row: Vance, Stovernck, J.

The court of honor was composed of twenty senior boys and girls who entered from either side of the natural stage, met their partners, and arranged themselves in a semi-circle. They were succeeded by three flower girls and the all-important crown-bearer. Next came the retiring May Queen, Miss Josephine Boro, who was lovely in a simply designed yellow chiffon frock. She carried a boquet of yellow spring flowers and blue delphinium. The five maids, who were selected by ballot from the eligible upperclassmen, came after Miss Boro. The Misses Georgia Dalton, Maxine Tomlinson, Loretta Wilkenloh, Ines Pellarin, and Dorothy Mclntire, all gowned in sheer white dresses reaching.the floor, were the chosen five, one of whom was to be crowned. lt was especially baffling as to who the queen would be both because all of the elect were well qualified to wear the crown gracefully and because they did not enter accord- ing to the degree of popularity. . When the retiring queen had mounted the regal platform and the new maids had taken their places before her, Miss Boro ceremoniously took the flower crown from its satin pillow and, while the audience and court were in suspense, placed the coronal upon the head of Miss Georgia Dalton. Her modest acceptance of the highest honor the student body may confer upon any girl bespoke the graciousness which all have so admired in her. CContinued on Page Fifty-threej Coronation Dance As the Welhisco staff felt that the May Day celebration would be incomplete without a coronation dance, it was decided that the event be held following the fete. The gym became an outdoor scene with the aid of painted backdrop and woodsy wings. The side walls and front of the stage resembled a latticed fence. To give the effect of a wooded bower, the orchestra was placed between a gauze curtain and the back-drop. Girls in summery pastel shades and boys in summer formal attire marked this as the most picturesque dance of the year. ' At 9:30 the grand march was held. lt was led by the queen, Miss Georgia Dalton, and her escort, Mr. Eugene Mosier, financial secretary of the Welhisco. Almost everyone present joined gayly in the procession and there in the dancing. Twelve olclock brought to a close a very pleasant evening. lllllll1935lllllll Page Forty OOOOOWELHISCOOOOOO miss Georgia Dalton welhisco Queen X A . il ,XVI 3 J uf '. , llOlOOl1935lClllll l'ugv fmly-ffm' maids to the Queen v9 I H M 5 Nli..

See the portrayal of spring's influence on the awaken- ing flowersg be entertained by rumba dancers from Spain! A stupendous minstrel show, ladies and gentlemen, is now commencing! Had your fortune told? Right here, folks, is the greatest mystic in North Americaln The barker paused for breath, and I glanced around the hall. To be sure, the jostling pushed me around a bit in their eagerness to see and hear everything, but I found that by moving with them I was led to the centers of attraction. The Hall of Terrorv was aptly named, for I almost fell over my own feet in my anxiety to get away from that dark, foreboding place where sirens shrieked and clammy things reached out. But having emerged unharmed, I found that my courage returned, and I soon was carried with the crowd on to another spot. It developed that a play was to be presented shortly, Who's a Coward? fSplendid acting, by the way.l When I left this spot of interest, I saw by the program that the girls' chorus was to dance at this time. After the dancing, I wandered into another hall, called The Hall of Chancef, where I played many games and won queer little objects which I proudly exhibit even yet. When I left there, across the hall I saw a sign which pro- claimed that here was the 4'Hall of Wonders? Wonders, indeed! I was amazed at the things they had there, to say the least. Upon leaving this very interesting place, I heard sounds of music. I followed the sound, and found that couples were having a very nice time dancing to the rhythm furnished by the orchestra. There were so many things at the carnival to see that I decided to complete mv observations the next night. Returning the following evening, I found that I had quite overlooked the most exciting thing of all-the election of a Carnival .Queen. The ballots were coming in rapidly, for the Wellstonites had favorites and chose to show their preference for the belles of the school by nominating them. li Several entries were quite interesting, if a bit out of the ordinary. Mr. Halter and Mr. Bush, for instance, were being nominated for the throne.l Toward the end of the evening, the attention of the crowd was centered on the two highest candidates: Imogene Clark, a junior, and Virginia Hill, a sophomore. As the totals climbed, friends and class- mates ran about enthusiastically gathering votes for their favorites. Excitement reigned when the moment came to announce the winner, the building fairly vibrated with the shouting when they heard- Imogene Clark, the Carnival Queenlu She was crowned with an exquisite wreath of blossoms and presented with the gifts of the patrons of the Carnival. The evening was ended in dancing. Wellston responded splendidly to the lure of the Carnival, for two good reasons -the entertainment was really enjoyable and the cause for which it was given was a meritorious one, that of supplementing the student fund. llOOlOl1935000OO0O Page Forty-jour OOOOOWELHISCOIOIOO miss Imogene Clark Carnival Queen lllllOl193SlllllCl Page Folly-fue IOOOOWELHISCOOIOO Im!! fo right: -Kntllony.

As the title suggests, it was a very humorous affair. The plot was rather compli- cated, as everyone but the villains usually found himself with a bag of money which no one but the crooks really wanted. The action takes place in the hills of New York at an inn owned and managed by Caroline Caruthers tDorothy Mclntirel, who is ably assisted by Niobe tBillie Driskillj, the colored servant. Connie Morgan tLoretta Vlfilkenlohl appears on the scene late one evening, accompanied by her dear friend, Bee Williams ljosephine Hughesl. Connie is running away from home to keep from marrying Courtney Barret, Jr. tWesley Lowej who, as it turns out, is not eager to marry Connie either. As both are traveling incognito, the identity of neither is revealed to the other until very late in the play. Having fallen in love with each other, they are very much surprised to find that both of them have come to care for the very person they have sought to avoid. Conniels father, Christopher Morgan tNorman Anthonyt, appears at the inn in search of Connie and is very well pleased at the outcome of Conniels escapade. The comedy parts were taken care of by Mrs. Julia Gibbs tlnes Pellarinl, and her three daughters, Lottie tlfileanor Scottl, Waiida lW3lthSIlC Thiesl, and Daisy tGeorgia Daltonl. Mrs. Gibbs is very fond of her daughters and very proud of them-a fact which she lets everyone know. The crooks, who play a very important part, are Steve tBilly Beiselt and Andy tCeorge Bodent. Their parts are quite entertaining and add danger to the plot, as Tim Macauley tBob Wissorel, a famous detective, is always on their trail. Everything ends as it should with Connie and Courtney engaged to be married and Steve and Andy in the capable hands of Mr. Macauley. lllOlOl1935UU09 ' Page Fony-six naps Q P r E2 fig wif K 1 ,154 .

It had become an everyday occurrence but an unwelcome one. It was depressing everyone. Worse than that alone, the juniors were in a high state of frenzy trying to finance the long-anticipated prom. Meanwhile the seniors were wondering whether there was to be the traditional dance in their honor or not. And then came a turn of good fortune! The juniors somehow awakened to the idea that they must bestir themselves to play the part of the host to the graduating classg in response to this realization the rain actually stopped. Much to everyone's delight, the evening of May seventeenth was beautiful. The invitations were little imitation diplomas tied with satin bows. These clever passports to the promenade gave only a slight idea of the pleasure in store for the guests. The prom was appropriately held at school this year instead of at a club as it was last year. The seniors must have held their breaths as they beheld the beautiful decorations in orchid and white, the senior class colors. At the middle of the stage leading to the dance floor, were stairs framed in a little archway of crepe paper streamers. A small space was partioned off all around the dance floor, and tables and chairs were placed within this area. Directly opposite the entrance was the orchestra, Harry Stark's, whose music made everyone go rhythmic. Refreshments were served during the entire evening at one side of the floor. Entertainment was furnished by junior and senior high school students doing various tap numbers. Willa Treadway, our prima donna, sang several songs. The evening was spent mostly in dancing and playing cards. There was quite a variety of colors and styles in the girls' gowns, they were indeed picturesque dancing with their partners on the dimly lighted floor. The memory of this prom will doubtless remain with both seniors and juniors, for an occasion as auspicious and delightful as this one happens but rarely.

It was judged that one very great factor in the production was the quaintly attractive costumes which carried our minds hack to the days of coquettish Southern helles and handsome beaux with excitement provided hy a villainous plot to roh the heroine of her estate. The training of the voices and the acting were the work of Miss Marr.

The costumes were designed by Miss Marr and Miss Chamberlain. The credit for the making of many of them goes to Miss Chamberlain and the mothers who willingly sewed many days to start our costume wardrobe for future performances. The girls' dances were planned and executed by Miss Schaufert. The boys' drill resulted from Mr. Oth,s direction.

The first number was a Hungarian folk dance performed by Delma Wiley, Doris Joy Williams, Doris Cornstubble, Shirley Ann Summers, Eva Redler, Ruth Fletcher, Mildred Wilkenloh, Gertrude Studt, Norma Robinson, and Eileen Curran. A humorous and spirited Dutch dance by six girls in blue and white costumes followed. The three Holland boys were Edwena Dalton, Bobby Spangler, and Doro- thy Hennessyg their partners were Evelyn Huskey, Betty Bland, and Marjorie Stubble- field. n Probably the laurels for the best performance should go to the Russian girls and boys who went through their routine in an enthusiastic manner. This group was made up of Virginia Becker, Norma Brockfeld, Anna Fred, Lorayne Knight, lola Lee, Louise Straughn, Martha Niewald, Eileen Russell, Virginia Schmidt, and Mary Louise Burke. The Italian peasant girls, who danced the Tarantella, were gay in their red and green costumes. The sound of the tambourines added to the effectiveness of the presentation. The dancers in this number were Anita Hendricks, Adele Groceman, Ethel Cassidy, Virginia Hill, Grace Van Bibber, Marie Maierhoffer, Mary Driskill, Bernice Sims, Blanche Steers, Mildred Lowery, Ethel Taylor, Betty Wood, Dorothy Walsh, Dorothy Bram, Jane Davis, and Pearline Woodson. Ten junior girls in pink and green costumes were in the May Pole dance. They were Erline Craddy, Madeline Neary, ,lane Thompson, Patricia Killoren, Mildred Wallace, Lucille Sundberg, Lillian Harmon, Marcella Fitzsimmons, Velma Barnett, and Imogene Clark. The recessional concluded a very entertaining festival which Miss Schaufert planned and directed. Miss Marr and Mrs. Shaufert were the accompanists. Mr. Nibeck, as usual, arranged the setting very effectively. The costumes were designed by Miss Chaney.
