As a result of the work of Mrs. Snite and her committee, the first "Stuâ€" dent Stunts" was presented to the public in May, 1927. ‘The show was tremendously successful, far surâ€" passing even the fondest hopes of its sponsors. Mrs. Snite can be largely credited with conceiving the idea of a stuâ€" dent vaudeville. She believed that there were many activities at the high school, such as the work done in the.tumbling and dancing classes as well as projects of the music and dramatic departments, that the pubâ€" lic did not know about. . In a conâ€" ference with Superintendent Sandâ€" wick and several other teachers it was decided to initiate such an anâ€" nual performance and to offer a five dollar gold piece to the student submitting the best title for the show. All public and parochial puâ€" pils were invited to participate in the contest for a name. The following girls have been seâ€" lected to participate in a modern dance program for "Stunts": Ruth Chalmers, Doris Rafter, Dot Oweiss, Pat Flynn, Doris Ostrand, Rosaâ€" mond Degenhardt, Beatrice Gaidzik, Dot : Moldaner, Betty Breakwell, Ruby Zimmer, Jeanne Jenkins, Mary Heed, Lorraine â€" Weaver, Helen Laing, Margaret Finch, Midge Mitâ€" chell, Miriam:> Wichman, Lillian Glass, Peggy Juhrend, and Dot Lytle. Ruth Robbins, a Deerfield student of teh class of ‘28 won the five dolâ€" lar prize with her suggestion "Stuâ€" dent Stunts," a name which has beâ€" come traditional at the high school. The scholarship fund raised by "Stunts" was named the Richard F. Sandwick _ Memorial rahip fund in memory of S Sandwick‘s son â€" whose untimely death in an auto accident &m a most promising career, 1 Richard Sandwick had played on Deerfield‘s _ league : championship football team and had captained the team in his senior year. No betâ€" ter name could have been selected to identify the spirit of the school with such a worthy cause.

The Lenten season, which is being more widely observed as the years go by, is based on the sound thesis that it is an essential part of eduâ€" cation occasionally to refrain from things that are harmless thus deâ€" veloping strength to resist that which is destrcctive. Modern psyâ€" chology is very definitely saying Amen to this principle which has been a part of the teachings of the church even since the days when Christ brought the glad tidings to McKillip Miller, wife of Frank A.
