Armory Art Decorations

0NE Of the biggest things
ever undertaken by stu

or rather decorating, of the
Central High armory. The
work was begun about a month

done chiefly by the boys Of the
mechanical drawing depart

work with the spring play
scenery as well.

armory, parts of the first coat of

Dramatic Talent Of Outgoing
Mckinley Class Will Shine
at Commencement.
BY T. s. p. c.

" HE class of June '22 at
Tech is giving play called
"The Dragon" on class
night in lieu of the exercises
which usually form the last
social activity of the school
year. This course was decided
upon as the best possible one,
because it would seem unfair
if only a few members of the
class could participate in the
exercises, especially when there
is so much dramatic talent in
the school.
"The Dragon" is fairy fan
TASTE in three acts. The scene
is laid in the palace of an old
Irish King, the time is maay
years ago, in the days when
people still believed in fairies.
The cast includes some of
the schools most popular dra-
matte favorites. Phil Holmes
has the title role. Others are
Leight Barber, Laura Wander
cock, Alison Denison, Catherine
Matthews and Tennyson Myers.
Some regret was expressed
when it was discovered that
neither Oscar Shaw nor Max
Walton, both of whom held
principal parts in the Spring
play, were not going to take
part in the play.
This play is the last distinctive
effort of class which has, since 1t
was first organized. endeavored 10
make itself stand out from other
classes.

For the first time since Western

the Breeze" was published when
ever the staff had collected enough

sue the front page featured a car

subscribers. Added % this was

In addition, to these regular fea-
lures there were often photograph
OF persons mentioned in the cur

a paragraph telling of his accom-
plishments and activities. Such
illustrations gave the sheet "A let

scribers a knowledge of how stu-
dents of Importance look as well
as what they did.
Moreover, the cartoons helped TO
form student opinion as much as
the editorials, especially when
drawn by such artists as Carl G.
Woerner. the editor in chief of the
Breeze" and Alva Daughton, who
ably did most of the cartooning,
presenting in picture form many
questions Of Importance to readers.
Not only has this volume of the
Breeze told the news of the high
school world, but it has amused its
subscribers with jokes and ex-
change and short stories by young
authors of Western.
The exchange column was espe
cially interesting and amusing,
containing, as il did, news and
jokes from high schools all over
the country.
