Miss Himes Gives Interesting Report
The first offering of the Dramatic
Club for the year 1929 was given Friday evening, IMarch 8, when they presented Sutton Vane's 3-act piay "Outward Bound." The strilcing, unusual
plot of the play furnished just the
background for the exceptional work
of the cast that made the performance
the wonderful success that it was.
The scene for the play was laid on
board a strange sh.p with passengers
bound for eternity—heaven or hell,
according to what their past life had
been. These passengers,

were first shown in Act 1 at sailing
time in the harbor. They were under
the care of Scrubby, the steward—
Ray Zaner. The strange conditions of
the ship and the voyage began to
stiike them as queer even then and in
Act 2, as they were spending the evening gathered in the lounging room
cf the vessel, getting acquainted and
t.ying lO find amusement, the true
conditions were discoveii^ed. Prior
was the first to find that none of his
fellow passengers really knew their
destination, that the sirange ship had
no motors, ro crew except for Scrubby, and from him, Prior, his suspicions aroused, learned the truth of the
matter.
Under such conditions the
voyage was anything but pleasant for
the whole company.
In the third act, the ship reached
port. Here the examiner who was to
decide the destinies of the passengers
came on board as Rev. Frank Thomson—Ted Robb. As he went ahead
with his work in individual interviews,
his attitude, one moment of genial
kindness and the next of stern righteousness was so genuine that even the
audience felt more than one thrill of
fear. His first questioning turned into a pleasant reunion with the gentle,
sincere young minister, Duke, whose
reward it was to take up his work
again as co-worker of Thomson.
Plummer put his personality into this
part with great success. As the examinations went on, Smith, as the big
business man Lingley, found his due
for the unscrupulous life he had led
but his fine piece of acting redeemed

EDITORIALS
The reports from the recent N. E.
A. Convention in Cleveland have been
very intsresting and worthwhile. We
are coming to appreciate such convertions ard corf.r^jnces much more
clearly t'lan before.
Back in the grades, a taachers' conference, national or local, used to
mean to us just a pleasant excuse for
two or three days' vacation from
school and we valued them for this
reason. Now they mean an opportunity for meeting teachers with many
varied experiences, for discussing the
teaching problems of universal concern, for hearing the opinions and
theories of the outstanding leaders in
education and we value them for this
broadening influence.
Such worthwhile meetings are a
fine means of development for any
ambitious teacher, growing in his profession, and they are opportunities
which we cannot afl"ord to overlook.
For many weeks we have been waiting in almost breathless anxiety for
"Outward Bound" to make its debut.
Last Friday evening our wishes were
fulfilled. We were amazed—yes, overjoyed at the most unusual and
splendid play which the Dramatic
Club presented to us.
We are now convinced that right in
our very midst is some remarkable talent which stands very near that of

Miss Himes Describes Japanese Marionette Show
Many first group students and
tsachers were very well pleased with
a delightful talk given by Miss Himes
in the Kindergarten room last Wednesday afternoon. She described a
Marionette Show which she witnessed
at Cleveland, Ohio, during her recent
so.journ there. It was a Japanese show
with very elaborate scenes as well as
beautiful and act've characters. Every minute detail was correct and the
characters seemed human. All had
been planned for, made, and presented by a mixed group of Junior
High School students. Miss Himes'
account of all these things gave her
audience many valuable ideas which
can be used later in their own projects.

Prior, who had been a drunken, dissipated young man, was given a
chance to make good under the care
of his friend, really his mother, Mrs.
Midget.
The difficult part of the little London char-woman gave Sylvia Sykes
merited praise. Dick Parsons put into Prior's actions a realism that gripped everyone from the Cast to the
audience. To the two other passengers, Ann and Henry, Thomson could

suicide because of their great love for
each other and their fear of being separated, and they were only "Halfways." Their devotion for each other

them together until they were taken

Miss Himes Gives Interesting Report
The first offering of the Dramatic
Club for the year 1929 was given Friday evening, IMarch 8, when they presented Sutton Vane's 3-act piay "Outward Bound." The strilcing, unusual
plot of the play furnished just the
background for the exceptional work
of the cast that made the performance
the wonderful success that it was.
The scene for the play was laid on
board a strange sh.p with passengers
bound for eternity—heaven or hell,
according to what their past life had
been. These passengers,

were first shown in Act 1 at sailing
time in the harbor. They were under
the care of Scrubby, the steward—
Ray Zaner. The strange conditions of
the ship and the voyage began to
stiike them as queer even then and in
Act 2, as they were spending the evening gathered in the lounging room
cf the vessel, getting acquainted and
t.ying lO find amusement, the true
conditions were discoveii^ed. Prior
was the first to find that none of his
fellow passengers really knew their
destination, that the sirange ship had
no motors, ro crew except for Scrubby, and from him, Prior, his suspicions aroused, learned the truth of the
matter.
Under such conditions the
voyage was anything but pleasant for
the whole company.
In the third act, the ship reached
port. Here the examiner who was to
decide the destinies of the passengers
came on board as Rev. Frank Thomson—Ted Robb. As he went ahead
with his work in individual interviews,
his attitude, one moment of genial
kindness and the next of stern righteousness was so genuine that even the
audience felt more than one thrill of
fear. His first questioning turned into a pleasant reunion with the gentle,
sincere young minister, Duke, whose
reward it was to take up his work
again as co-worker of Thomson.
Plummer put his personality into this
part with great success. As the examinations went on, Smith, as the big
business man Lingley, found his due
for the unscrupulous life he had led
but his fine piece of acting redeemed

EDITORIALS
The reports from the recent N. E.
A. Convention in Cleveland have been
very intsresting and worthwhile. We
are coming to appreciate such convertions ard corf.r^jnces much more
clearly t'lan before.
Back in the grades, a taachers' conference, national or local, used to
mean to us just a pleasant excuse for
two or three days' vacation from
school and we valued them for this
reason. Now they mean an opportunity for meeting teachers with many
varied experiences, for discussing the
teaching problems of universal concern, for hearing the opinions and
theories of the outstanding leaders in
education and we value them for this
broadening influence.
Such worthwhile meetings are a
fine means of development for any
ambitious teacher, growing in his profession, and they are opportunities
which we cannot afl"ord to overlook.
For many weeks we have been waiting in almost breathless anxiety for
"Outward Bound" to make its debut.
Last Friday evening our wishes were
fulfilled. We were amazed—yes, overjoyed at the most unusual and
splendid play which the Dramatic
Club presented to us.
We are now convinced that right in
our very midst is some remarkable talent which stands very near that of

Miss Himes Describes Japanese Marionette Show
Many first group students and
tsachers were very well pleased with
a delightful talk given by Miss Himes
in the Kindergarten room last Wednesday afternoon. She described a
Marionette Show which she witnessed
at Cleveland, Ohio, during her recent
so.journ there. It was a Japanese show
with very elaborate scenes as well as
beautiful and act've characters. Every minute detail was correct and the
characters seemed human. All had
been planned for, made, and presented by a mixed group of Junior
High School students. Miss Himes'
account of all these things gave her
audience many valuable ideas which
can be used later in their own projects.

Prior, who had been a drunken, dissipated young man, was given a
chance to make good under the care
of his friend, really his mother, Mrs.
Midget.
The difficult part of the little London char-woman gave Sylvia Sykes
merited praise. Dick Parsons put into Prior's actions a realism that gripped everyone from the Cast to the
audience. To the two other passengers, Ann and Henry, Thomson could

suicide because of their great love for
each other and their fear of being separated, and they were only "Halfways." Their devotion for each other
was a beautiful theme running
through the play from beginning to

them together until they were taken
