THE TOTEM. 17 promise for the future. Money is indeed not the aim of life but it is a factor which cannot be eliminated, and youth is the time to prepare your- self to compete in the reputed money- madness of America. Sacrifice the job for the vocation, the present for the future, and the time will come when you will realize the wisdom of your course. — R. P. Harker. PIANO. A fine piano was placed in the High School room on the morning of April 19 and was a complete surprise to all the students. The two classes of ' 09 and ' 10 com- bined and left the beautiful Concord piano as a memorial of both classes, to remain in the Winamace High School for ages to come. The money which the Senior class of ' 09 I ' eceived from the Senior play, as mentioned elsewhere, aided greatly in this great work. JXmiOR RECEPTION. The date for the Junior reception is set for the evening of May 4. The Junior class is working in harmony and will use every effort to make the reception of 1910 a pleasant one, and long to be remembered. The class is making a departure from the receptions of former classes, and hopes tn present something new and novel. He looked in at a store window and saw- Hats Reduced.

On the evenings of April 21 and 22, the High School presented ' ' The Little Tycoon at Vurpillat ' s opera house. The school has been working on the plav for some time and of course did it up in the very best style. This play, although more difficult than last year ' s production, was ren- dered as well or better. The chni-- acters were chosen from the High School students and the utmost care taken in the assignment of parts. Mr. Spencer showed excellent judg- ment in selecting the cast. The part of the heroine, Violet, v. ' as taken by Mary Blew, with ex- quisite art and skill, Dolly Dimple, as represented by Fane Miller could not have been improved upon by anv- one from the High School. Marjorie Hathawav was incarnated in the per- son of Miss Hurricane, who was al- ways looking for whales. Dot was personified to a dot by Rhena Aery. General Knickerbocker ' ' still lives ' ' in our memeory, for he lived so vividly before our eyes in the pei ' - son of Mr. Harker that we can never forget him. Now, when he was a boy, Mr. Harker learned to sing, and the way he presented his songs deserves the highest praise. Mr. Spencer, as Alvin Berry the young stock broker who was always pitting his wits against those of the General doserves ci ' edit for his con- ception of the part. Mr. Spencer was carrying a double burden in directing the chorus and doing justice to his own part, biit he did it very success- fully. Homer iMorrison, as Lord Dolphin, whose entire vocabulary consisted of Oh! Ah! was defeated in the race for Violet ' s hand, and returned to England. Rufus Ready, Alvin ' s friend, Avns successfully and cleverly played by Glennwood Tuttle. Teddy, the Irishman, was an actor of no mean abilitv; always on the job and seeing things as only an Irishman could. Donald Blew was the true ' ' Japanese from Cork. ' ' Montgomery the automatic servant was slowly and sui ' ely represented by Carroll Skiainer. Ralph Ewing was also an ideal servant. The cast wns suported by a chorus of forty voces, picked from all the High School classes. Enough excite- ment to please evei-y one was intro-
