1933 The Scarlet and Gray Mary McQueen, teachers in a girls' school in Connecticut, were spending the week-end with their parents in New York, where they would witness the play. In the advertising section was a full page ad from the large department store owned by Harold Collins and Frank Justin. After reading the paper we recalled that we had not yet ordered our cor- sages for the evening. We telephoned Maxwell and Metzger, Florists, who promised that they would have our corsages ready in time for the play. After dinner we dressed for the theatre and arrived there just as the orchestra, under the direction of Henry Pollock, started to play. Glancing through the program we noticed the leading parts were taken by Charles Reiley and Fritzi Walkey, who played opposite each other. The comedy roles were taken by Woody Spitler and Lily Knight. Janice Harlan had charge of the singing ensembles and Lucia Prentice and Margaret Kennepohl directed dancing chor- uses. The electricians and stage managers were Nelson Jones, Marion Davis, and Richard Kellg Josephine Kashner, Marjorie Whorley, and Esther Hussman had charge of the make-up, while Edith Brose and Mildred Bray were the cos- tume directors. In the audience besides those we have already mentioned were: William Chancellor, the governor of New York, Helen Ramsey, the portrait painter, Mildred Smith, who owns a large chain of confectionery stores, Carl Mann, football coach at S. Californiag Mary Rasmussen, owner of Madame Bon Ton's Night Club, Geraldine Lidester and Thelma Noble, settlement workers in Chi- cago, and Paul Dexter, chief of police in New York City. Needless to say, the production was a great success. Much praise is due Vir- ginia not only for her successful play but also for her efforts in bringing to- gether the members of the 1933 graduating class of the W. L. H. S. for a reunion. GLAm's EVANSON. ELLEN MANN. GRASS How green, how frail your tendrils are, Which break the earth without a mar, And toward the sky extend themselves just like a group of tiny elves. And when the fiery sun beats down You seem to be a tinted gown XVhich God hath at with painful toil To keep our footsteps from the soil. -BRUCE EWING. Page Tu'
