I 5i.,i.gi Speak the speech, I pray you, as I pronounced it to you, trippingly on the tongue, for if you mouth it, as many of your players do, I had as lief the town-crier spoke my Iines. To insure perfect diction and accurate script writing is the duty of the six assistants who comprise the English department. Mrs. Margaret Meyer and Mrs. Elizabeth Puyou do their bit at smooth- ing the rough edges of the extras who are just getting ready to try out. ians Mr. Norman Moyer and Mrs. Florine Carroll do their best forthe comed- while Mrs. Carroll also helps Mr. Herbert Lake with the understudies. It is Miss Cleo Sawyer who is in complete charge of the stars but it has taken five others to groom them for their stellar roles. eleven

anguage and flbfzafz The play being presented requires a great deal of research. What are the players to do now? Simple - consult Miss Miriam Brown, director in charge of our newyimproved library. Since it has been moved, it provides twice- the space and opportunity for those who wish to use it. The special field of Mr. Herbert Lake, Miss Adele Knight, and Mrs. Elizabeth Puyou is in directing those students who plan to play professional roles in the great drama of life. From them are learned the well-turned French phrase of Mr. Lake, the precise tongue of the Latin taught by Miss Knight, or the more fluent Spanish offered by Mrs. Puyou. ten

Hisfofzxf History would seem to be a rather dull subject for a play, yet when directors such as Mr. Robert Kovanda, Miss Sylvia Simon, Mr. Milan Stefanik, and Miss Madeline Fickes take command, the players all sit up and take notice. Serving a first year apprentice ship last year, Mr. Kovanda has proved his talents and has won a permanent place on the staff of W. H. S. Miss Simon coaches her players as it should be done. She brings Louis XIV, Henry Vlll, and many other historic characters right to the footlights to say 'hello. Mr. Stefanik, known to his students as Smilin' Milan, makes such a hit with his classes that it has become a privilege and a joy to attend his classes. Miss Fickes who has the difficult task of directing the stars must be constantly alert to remain ahead of this all-knowing group. Yet even the stars applaud such graciously and affably talented showmanship. fl xii iw? twelve Y, ,.1.,c-. ,....,,,............,,.- ,...,- .-
