Virginia Garnett Presides
At Annual Affoir
for Seniors
“What Every Woman Knows” Is Big Hit
With Charlotte Hooper play
ing the charming part of Maggie
Shand who had “no charm” and
Pat Abernethy, whose sense of
humor is notorious, playing the
Scotch politician who never
laughed or smiled, the senior
play, “What Every Woman
Knows,” displayed real ability
at adaptation to character roles.
Charlotte made a very appealing
and attractive Maggie. Pat was
her usual fascinating self as
Fleur do mai Moffat hero, although .she did have to
conceal many a laugh.
The biggest laugh in the
whole play came when Norma
Lee Phelps, as the brother
David Wylie, demanded with
excitement, “Whdt do I know of
the passions of a man?” Her
work throughout the play, how
ever, was good, interpreting the
character well. Lula Belle High-
smith, as the other brother,
James, was another amusing
character, being described as the
kind of persoti whom you ask
for the time of day and then set
your watch by what someone else
says.
One of the cleverest parts was
that of the Comtesse do la Briere,
M’liich was admirably played by
Mary Frances Snead. Not only
was she “stunning” in her very
aristocratic looks but the humor
and subtle character study were
unusually well done, a great part
of tlie action of the play depend
ing on her acting.
Rachel Biggs was as blasd and
sophisticated as usual in her
role of the bored young society
girl who fell in love with the hero.
She and Pat were at their best
in tho last of their opportunities
at the love making part they have
played so often in these four
years.
Nancy McDaniel surpassed
herself as the typical English
“my lord,” bringing many a
laugh with her monocle, gleam
ing white suit, and amusing
English accent.
Minna Lc Grand’s characteri
zation of the father, Aleck Wylie,
was convincingly done.
On the whole the play was one
of the best dramatic perform
ances in several years, the best
since the other Barrie play,
Quality Sireiit in December,
1961.
On Saturday night, April 22,
tho annual Junior-Senior Ban
quet, honoring the Senior class
of ’33, was given amid a setting
of polar bears, ice, and snow.
The dining room had as its
background snow' capped pines
and ice covered windows. Each
table had as a center piece a
small polar bear on a “block of
ice.”
Virginia Garnett, president of
the Junior class, was the toast
mistress of the occasion. After
her welcome to Iceland, Kather
ine Davis made a toast “To our
Explorers,” to wliich Annette
Donavant, president of the
Senior class responded. The
othcj- toasts were: “To our Com
mander Perry”—Eliza Briggs,
returned by Dr. Charles E.
Brewer; “To the Northern
Enterprisers—Grace Carr; “To
our Amundsen” — Miriam
Wilson; “To the Laplanders”—
Gwennie Crowder, with a re
sponse by “Unkie” Dunn; and
