THE GREEN AND GOLD 15 .Q -5. A very successful Easter dance was given by the Senior Class on Friday evening, April thirteenth in.the Town Hall. A large crowd attended and a good SLIITI was realized for the class fund. An orches- tra from Rutland played. The committee in charge of the affair comprised the following students: Goldie Cohn, Marjorie Mead, John Maciag, and Eugene Burke. Mr. Martin is class adviser. The Seniors have completed their essays. These essays, which are now in the hands of the judges, are a requirement of the English Department. A variety of interesting topics have been chosen by the students. and the awards for prize-winning essays will be announced on Graduation night. The annual prize speaking contest open to students of any of the four classes will be held on June thirteenth. Several are rehearsing daily for the contest under the direction of Mr. Burns E. Martin. ....A...l0--T THE CRIMSON STAR On Friday night, April twenty-seventh, an operetta entitled The Crimson Star was given in the Town Hall for the benefit of the .Athletic Association. The production was coached and staged by Miss Bliss, Supervisor of Music, and Mr. Martin, Coach of Dramatics. The theme of the story is this: Greta, a peasant girl in the kingdom of Lascenia, is really the princess of the realm, supposedly lost when a child. She meets Leo, the King's step-son, and is wooed and won by him. By means of a birthmark in the form of a crimson star on her shoulder, her true identity is established. Meanwhile, Borah, the king's nephew, who wishes his sister to have the honored title of princess, plans to ahduct Greta with the aid of three hirelings. His plot is found out, he is banished from the country, and Leo and Greta are happily married. Everyone in the cast performed creditably. Among the outstand- ing performances were those of Charlotte Bliss in the part of Greta: Helen Pifko, the inn keeper with a genuine Irish brogueg John Maciag as Leo, G1'eta's lover: Leonard Dandrow as the villain Borahg Mar- jorie Mead as the flirtatious Gillyg and her equally ridiculous lover, 'ff Q ' ' ' 1 . 1 1fu.'w'1snf'1fv fw4n'Wv'Jx ww' M' fii'fffls'Flf f',?'f'v' f,WfV wi'X
