The cast had been chosen, and work on it had progress- ed to a considerable degree, when it was decided to close school two weeks earlier, and the arrangments had to be abandoned. 'This left the Spring contest as the most important musical event. For the first time it was held in the evening, and took place at Polytechnic Institute, Fri- day, May 16, before one of the largest audiences an affair of this kind has ever attracted. The rooting was better than in former years, and the Westport sec- tion, though small, was concentrated pep. However, the hearty support of the school as a whole is lacking. The Alpha Lyra Club and those who assisted it sang their best, but Northeast won all four cups, and Central the four seconds. The numbers were : Boys' Chorus .... Softly She Slumbers Lightly Girls' Chorus ...... The Dew Is On the Clover Mixed Chorus ............................ . . . . . .f'Good Night, Good Night, I-Beloved! The Orchestra In spite of the various interruptions, the orchestra of '19 has spent a very profitable and successful year. In two given, one on assemblies, programs were the day that Mr. Brewster gave a speech which Joseph on Theodore Roosevelt, in Harding and Manuel Newman, each gave violin solos, and one in the second semes- ter in which a French horn solo was play- ed by Thomas MclVIillin. It helped intro- duce several new school songs just be- fore the basket ball season. On the even- ing of the community meeting to decide on a soldiers' memorial, a short program was given. The orchestra also rendered great assistance at the soldiers' reception and dance in playing in the Auditorium. It also played at the Senior Play and at the Commencement Exercises. For a year in which so many activities have been omitted, this has been a tolerably busy and on the whole, a satisfactory one for the orchestra. - . - . - ,. .,.. .. -......,v....1 . ga az.:4.......g.:.,..,...-,-.-. -W... . --. . wm:'nm-..z:.1:.:,:.p,:.:.-.:L.:....,L...

I 1135 0 J , 5 ZARAGUETA , A ' The Spanish play, presented on May 23, was one of the most snappy, sparkling foreign plays ever given at the school. A good play with an excellent cast, what more could be wished! James Darnell, as Don Indalecio, a wealthy farmer and a gourmand, was a scream, His solicitious wife, Rita Goss, was charming. Ruth Adler, as Maruja, the loved one of Carlos, did an unusually good piece of work, receiving many compliments from the Spanish de- partment of the University. Carlos Ray- mond Childs, nephew of Don lndalecio, and lover of Maruja, gave a perfect pre- sentation of a difficult role. His heart- rending cries of agony were so piercing and real that even the cast began to fear that he had impaired his stomach with the milk and vinegar which always quarrel. Adolph Larson was perfect as Pio, a timid student tyrannized over by his mother, who was certainly endowed with a woman's tongue. James Hynd- man, as Zaragueta, was well worthy to create fear and laughter in the heart of any man. Don Indalecio and his family were cer- tainly fortunate in securing such servants as Lila Wood, Adelia Coles, as Perico, and Howard Snow, as the hack-driver. A good servant is a rare jewel. A pretty Spanish dance between acts furnished local coloring. CAST - Lelia Wood G .......... ........ .... eorgla Rita Goss Dona Dolores .... - .. ..

A visit to the Dyche Museum, a picnic lunch on a Kansas meadow, a trip to the track meet, and the play as a climax in the evening were some of the events which will make it stand out clearly as a bright spot in the high school days of those who par- ticipated. A special car and all that it signifies, with a congenial bunch, added to the day's enjoyment. We feel satisfied that the Kansans were duly impressed, . . , , .. .. ... ... .. -..,.... ....,..- .....-...,..--..,, .,.,,.
