SENIOR CLASS PLAY TO BE PRESENTED TUESDAY, NOV. 1 Two Weeks of Intense Rehearsals Assures Fine Production Os Play The Seniors have been busy the past two weeks rehearsing their play “Apron String Revolt” which will be given Tuesday, November 1, in the high school gymnasium. The cast of characters is as follows: Mrs. Elizabeth Holt, an attractive widow Kathleen Gibson David, her son Harry Coy Annabelle Madden, her girlhood friend Katharine Dillen Mrs. Lanigan, an Irish cleaning woman Edna Bell Mrs. Alden, a neighbor Minnie C. Greider Henry Fenstermacher, the football coach Lyman Stucky Mary Lou, David’s girl friend .... Gwendolyn Applegate Fack Alden, David’s teammate ... Burton Niles Miss Martin,' reporter for the “Blade” Nelda Jackson Mr. Wade, reporter for “The Gazette” Robert Hinderer A Messenger boy, Frederick Traster A Grocery boy Ronald Sharp Officer Clancy ... .Patrick McCarty These characters figure in an interesting situation which exists in the home of Mrs. Elizabeth Holt, a widow who is trying to bring up her son according to the advice of the best magazines on child care. She flutters about the over-grown David like a hen with one chicken. When he gets into difficulties with the football coach she attempts to fight his battles. David resents this attitude and stages an “ApronString Revolt.” He leaves home and causes much consternation and anxiety. The offending coach brings David back not only because he really likes David but also because of a romantic interest in David’s mother. Eloise Richhart is prompter for the play; Virginia McFarren, assistant director; Howard Hummel, stage manager.. Seniors Defeat High The Seniors defeated the delegation from the Freshman, Sophomore, and Junior class, in touch ball by a score of 6 to 2. The seniors scored early in the contest on a pass from Niles to Hummel. The only score by High was a blocked kick in the end zone.

to give a prize to the one who remains standing the longest. Mary Lou Long visited the third grade Friday. We are going to start making Milk Booklets this week. Philip Streiby, having his paste bottle turned upside down, kept putting his hand on top of the bottle and then rubbing his face. He repeated this several times. Then he took his scissors and went through the motions of scraping his face. Finally he said, “Miss Simpson doesn’t my face feel much better since I shaved?” If anyone has lost their sweater, ask Miss Simpson where it is. She knows the best places for them. For proof ask Mr. Cook. Fourth Grade Virginia Clouse was absent from the fourth grade October 14. Fifth Grade Covers have been made for the geography work book, “Around America In Eight Months.” The notebooks will contain the pupils written work and map studies.

Class News Junior News What’s this I hear about two Junior boys who had a contest to see if they could stay awake Sunday night? Could it be A. W. and A. B.? It seems to be that a Junior girl wrote so many post cards that she even tried to ake short cuts by omitting words. A certain Junior Miss seems to have a triple-love. (Butch M./ Since our scare of scarlet fever, we seemed to have a brain disease attack our school, especially Junior girls. They wore patches on their school dresses and kneeled down to certain people in the hall and repeated, “Yes, your royal highnes—etc. Several of the Junior girls enjoyed a picnic at P Lake Sunday afternoon. The Juniors have finally picked out their rings with all our help and suggestions. Senior News The Senior class held a meeting Monday at 12:30, the purpose being to look over graduation announcements and name cards, which were displayed by a representative of the Inter-Collegiate Press. After much discussion and debating the representative sold his contract to the Seniors. These announcements and name cards are engraved. Opportunity Boom ———— « Friday afternoon pupils began their industrial work. The girls started their aprons and the boys have started their tool boxes.
