Tri Kappa News Epsilon Eta Chapter of Kappa Kappa Kappa of Speedway met in the Legion Home, on Tuesday, April 28. The Speedway Tri Kappas will again send a child to the Riley Camp for Crippled Children. Mrs. V. F. McNaughton, president and delegate to the State Tri Kappa Convention, at French Lick, made her report. Each of the one hundred and eighteen active and one hundred and nine associate chapters was represented. Reports were made of the many charitable gifts and scholarship awards which were given by both the state organization and the individual chapters. Several of the scholarship recipients told of the work they are doing as a result of the help which they received from Tri Kappa. Last October, Tri Kappas throughout the state of Indiana, collected the amount of $13,000.00 to be used for the Mental Health Program. Some of this money was from silver offerings, which were made at “Coffees” and some were given by the chapters. This was used for Mental Health Workshops, which were conducted in various cities of Indiana, to acquaint nurses and attendants with new methods of mental care. At the close of the convention, Mrs. Glen May, of Spencer, was elected president of Tri Kappa for the next two years. The Speedway Tri Kappas had a very successful card party in April and wish to thank everyone who helped make it such a nice affair. It was decided to have another Bridge-a-rama, next year. The next meeting will be in the Legion Home, on May 26, Tuesday, at 7:30.

"Moonlight" Operetta To Be Presented By Speedway Sparkle-Aires “Moonlight,” a comedy in two acts, will be presented in the high school gymnasium May 15. This operetta, which is presented by the Sparkle-aires, is under the direction of Mr. Dalton Wicker and Miss Nancy Rust. Kitty, an Irish maid (Judy Kirchhoff), comes to America to find Dean Randolph (Jim McClamroch), whom she has met in Ireland. It seems Dean left Ireland, promising to return, but he never kept his promise. So she follows him to America and gets a job at Mrs. Randolph’s (Karen White) home. However, when Kitty sees Dean (who - is Mrs. Randolph’s son), she pretends not to love him. Meanwhile, Bunny Randolph (Sharon Tarplee) is jealous of Kitty because she thinks Kitty is making passes at her boyfriend, Sunny Culpepper (Bob Leonard). Bunny then proceeds to try to get rid of Kitty by slipping pearls into her apron po<4tet, thus accusing her of stealing them. Georgia Elwood (Mary Jane Anderson) comes from her home to tell Mrs. Randolph that her (Georgia’s) mother has died, who is also Mrs. Randolph’s sister. The other high class women, including Mrs. Mavor (Linda Swails), are shocked because they learn that this sister had married out of their class.

Bradley Jones (Jim McMahon), who belongs to the great middle class, wants to get into high society, and it just so happens that Carroll Murray (Pat Wolfe) would like to get out of the upper class. Consequently, they get married. This action disturbs Carroll’s mother (Alice Decker). Mrs. Randolph’s servants are Pole, her unbending butler (Bart Updike), and Mrs. Thatcher, her housekeeper (Sue Todd). Consuelo Drake (Beverly Bates) and Norman Carmichael (Jeanie Piper) are friends of the younger set. Tickets will be available at 60c each the night of the operetta.
