This arrangement is deliberately de- signed to afford the seniors better op- portunity in the taking of examina- tions and other special work, outside their school courses. For the upper school, the present week has been largely occupied with examinations and the last school exer- cises occurred Friday, June 18.

The pageant was presented two evenings and one afternoon before packed houses, and the audiences showed no lack of enthusiasm at any time during the two and one-half hour performance. The pageant abounded in colorful costumes--in fact, there were so many of them that it was difficult to pay them all the attention they deserved. Per- haps the most brilliant part of the pag- eant, from this standpoint, was the third act, a scene in the court of King Thought, when at one time there were at least 50 characters on the stage, all in gorgeous costumes. All those who took part did very well and *he whole affair had an almost professional aspect. The book was written by C. Russell Small, a member of the faculty, and besides being an excellent portrayal of the history of the school, was exceedingly interesting and had plenty of clever lines and dramatic situations. Very Large Cast Nearly 500 pupils of the school, and others, took part in the pageant. Miss Elizabeth Stanwood, head of the dra- matic department, was general direc- tor, and was assisted .by Miss Lillian Fogg, who coached the dancers, Mrs. Marion E. Cotton and J. C. Schumach- er. who supervised the music; Miss Olive I.. Grover, who managed the stage settings; Miss Catherine Murphy, who_supervised art work; Mr. C. H. Tones. who managed the stage light- ing effects; H. H. Herron, who man- aged publicity ; and Miss Irma Moschel, who had charge of the costumes. Among those who had important parts in the pageant were Elizabeth Eber- hart, The Girl; Robert Stephens, The Boy; Eunice Stoddard, Enlightenment; Charles Troy, Time; Marjorie Solomon, The Wind: W. Harlan Ware, Ignor- ance; Marcia Lauer, Vision; John Cogswell, Potens; Elizabeth DeBerard Arta: Frank Gilchrist, Metros; Doris Fraser, Musica; Mary Elizabeth Mar- shall, Scriba: Louis Weber, Sums; Harry Wilson The World: Miss Eliza- beth E.

Clerk, principal of the school, and members of the school board, past and present, took part. MARINELLO BEAUTY SHOP 733 Elm Street For Appointment Phone Winnetka 822
