TECH HIGH SCHOOL.
The class of June. '22. at Tech is
giving a play on class night in lieu
of the exercises which generally
grace the last social activity of the
school year. This course was decid
ed upon as the best possible, because
It would seem unfair If only a few
member? ?f a class could participate
in the exercises, especially when
there is so much dramatic talent to
,be utilized.
The play Is Lady Gregory's "The
Dragon." a fairy fantasie in three
acts. The scene is laid in the palace
of an old Irish king, representing a
long time ago In the days when
people still believed In fairies.
The cast Includes some of the
school's popular dramatic favorites.
Phil Holmes has the title role. Oth
ers are Lelght Barber. Laurp. Vander
cook, Alison Denison, Catherine Mat
thews and Tennyson Myers. Some
regret was expressed when it was
discovered that neither Oscar Shaw
nor Max Walten. both of whom held
principal parts in the spring play,
were not to take part in the play.'
This play is the last distinctive ef
fort of a class which has since it was
first organized endeavored to make
Itself stand out from other classes.
The Shakespearian pageant, writ
ten by Miss Sarah Simons, head of
the English department, was given
by Tech last Thursday. Those who
played leading roles were: Denison. as
Shakespeare; James whisman, as
Touchstone; Ruth Russel, as the
Shrew, and Lelght Barber, as Pe
truchlo.
The pageant was a combination of
short scenes from some of Shakes
peare's comedies. It was titled a
"Fantasy of Mockery and Mirth" and
lived up to its title in every way.
EASTEBN HIGH SCHOOL.
Eastern enjoyed one of the most
spirited assemblies of the year Tues
day. The purpose of the assembly
was not only to encourage the stu
dents any team* for the game with
Western, but also to present, unoffi
cially, the new colors of the 3d Regi
ment of the Cadet Corps.
The ceremony, while Informal and
unofficial, was most impressive. The
colonel of the High School Cadet
Corps, Oscar Shaw of McKlnley, pre
sented the banner to Lieut. Co I. Anna
dale of the 3d Regiment. Thanks
were extended to Mr. and Mrs. Saug
stad, who undertook the making of
the standard, and a pair of silver can
dlesticks also was presented them
as a token of the appreciation of the
3d Regiment. CoL Craigle, military
instructor of the Cadet ?orps, also
spoke, expressing encouragement for
an Increase of enlistments for next
year. Lieut. Tater, 3d Regiment in
structor, made an address confirming
. CoL Cralgie's hopes for an entire regl
v' ment . at Eastern next year. Mlsa

The Merrill Club girls of Eastern
High School have added considerably
to their "shack budget." On Fridav
and Saturday. May 19 and 20asuc
cessCul (financially and dramatically) |
vaudeville entertainment was staged.
The program was divided into two
parts, the first being given by the
"P. M.," or afternoon chapter, ana
the second by the "A. M." chaPter
The "P. M." giris made a great hit
with their Russian dance and eastern
navy. The costumes in both were
very effective. The Russian dancers
followed a black and white color
scheme relieved with bright sashes,
while the rollicking navy girls wore
white middies with black ties, white
skirts and white sailor hats. The
girls were ably led by Edna Horner
and Isabel McQhan, who did the.
Sailors' hornpipe.
The A. M. girls' main feature was
a schoolroom scene. All the girls
were dressed as little children ana
sang amusing kindergarten songs. An
absurdity in two acts entitled "Love
Will Find a Way" also was pre
sented. Mildred Boynton. Mildred
Carroll and Ruth Perkina starred in
the schoolroom scene.
A few Eastern boys were called
upon to contribute to the program.
Between acts Leigh James and John
Voegler entertained the audience with
songs. Mary Kirby and Raymond
Hutchinson were very amusing In the
song. "A Baby In Love." "Three
CClock in the Morning." as sung by
Phoebe Atkinson and George Galla
horn was an added attraction. Ru
belle Blanton gave a dance to the
"Spring Song," sung by Anna King.
This was regarded the most suc
cessful play ever given by the club.
With the large sum of money made,
the purchase of a shack is now al
most a reality.

i four years, thus bringing honor to
Dunbar and to the race In general.
In base ball he is a good batter and
can play almost any position, his
forte being catching. In basket ball
his play has featured nearly every
game Dunbar has played. A fine shot,
excellent guard and center, he should
have no difficulty making his alma
i mater team no matter where he goes.

ords for the running high Jump by
leaping 5 feet* 10 inches at the recent
Hampton meet, thereby setting a
mark that has never been reached by
