* ‘ “ADY’ENTU RES OF GRANDPA”
BY' NOME HIGH SGHOOE
Sat unlay, December 2 at 8:15
p.m. the curtain rose on one of the
cleverest and best acted high
school plays “ever witnessed by a
Nome audience, in the presenta
<j tloh of the "Adventures of Grand
pa."
Marie, a petite French dancing
teacher portrayed by Margaret
KTVen, started the show off with a
bang, by introducing to the audie
nce an interpretation of a French
tap dance.
Busting in upon her dance, came
Alfred I^omen Jr., a handsome po
liceman, to inform the household
that their cook was in the hos
pital with smallpox.
Mr. and Mrs. Tod Hunter own
ers of the dancing school intro
duce them selves by a clgyer two
some dance.
Immediately following this Mrs.
Hopscotch, a wealthy and er, well
padded, widow, played by Lucille
Lumen, entered the living room
with Dorothy, her companion.
Dorothy we discover, Gertrude Jo
hanson is really a scenario writer
out looking for material for her
story.
When Monte, a handsome man
about town, very well acted by]
Wilson Scott, enters, things begin
to happen.
He explains his difficulties and
“asks for help. His rich grand
father is stopping over in Chic
ago fori two hours the main reason
is to see Monte’s wife. A wife
Munte had found, wooed and mar
ried in the realms of imagination.
He had to save his allowance
some way.
After much argument-and per
suasion, Tod Hunter agrees to
loan his lovely wife to Monte. But
just for two hours mind you. Tod
, himself, is to take over the dut
ies of the absent cook.
j
About this time the audience
way treated with a rare treat,
Kloompy a Swedish inaid, just
over from Copenhagen and gen
uine through and through. Mar
guerite Lee. well deserves the ap
plause given at each of her exits.
The fun started at the arrival
of Grandph, Clinton Gray. He is
introduced to his charming grand
daughter in law and perfectly sat
isfied with Monte’s choice. Even
raises his allowance a thousand,
j He can't5 understand the famil
Siurity shown to household by the
cook, and many times, orders him
I to the kitchen, where he belongs.
About the time for departure
he suddenly decides to stay the
night, and such an uproar.
Really a shame that such a nice
grandpa was so poorly made wel
come, in his own grandson’s home.
But his decision was seconded by
the arrival of the handsome police
man who informed them they
would all stay the night—the
house was quarantined.
I’oor Tod, pretty hard for him
to refrain from expressing his
feelings and consequently gave
vent to them in front of grandpa
who aga'n puts him in his place.
We musn't forget the love theme
running in and out of the story.
■Seems like Dorothy is the long
lost sweetheart that Monte has
beem searching the world over for.
!And what a predicament to be
found in-—swearing that there
never has been anyone hut her,
grandpa nicely gums the works by
introducing Tod’s wife-*-as Monte's
to Dorothy and that's that, for a
while.
Kloompy can't seem to get thru
her noodle which really is the hus
band. but, for five dollars she
doesn’t care who is. “Yust the
same ay ban tank ay spill der
beans.” ,
Following a night of nervous
ness day dawns bright and sun
shiney. we imagine anyway all
the sunshine was outside. None
seemed to have seeped through
to make any of the household
very* agreeable. Rut after much
persuasion oil the part of grandpa
the policeman consents to take a
letter to the chief. Grandpa
has pull, and he soon returns with
the glad lidings that the cook did
n’t have the small pox, it was the
chicken pox.
As soon as the ban was lifted
little Mrs. Hopscotch grabbed her
hat, had to keep a date with a
general. She was greatly sur
prised that her gentle and willing
•companion ~ refused to go with her.
Seems that in the meantime,
the four of them, Mr. and Mrs.
Hunter the real ones and Monte
had explained to Dorothy the need
of a wife for Monte and Mrs. Hun
ter’s generosity in acting as such.
Of course Dorothy knew it all
the time, but just wanted to keep
Monte guessing for awhile.
Then comes the explanations to
grandpa, much to ‘everyone’s re
lief he takes the bad news won
derfully well, we are even con
vinced that he was a little glad.
That is, after Monte convinced l
him that at least Dorothy had
said “Yes.”
The whole play wa! x'evy well
acted and everyone in the cast put
over her and his part perfectly.
Much credit Is due Miss Margue
rite Johnson on the capable way
in which she directed the play.

The winter at Klim lias come in
■with a bang but the thermometer
has not gone down very low yet
as it was only two below zero
here yet, but we have had quite
a little snow, but the ice in the
bay is not safe for travel vet and
the teams Save to go thru the
timfber and over the hill, and the
mail team from llnalakleet arriv
ed here today and came around
the beach from Moses Point to
El ini, so the ice is all r'ght that
way. 'c
Misctra Charles started for Un
alakleet on his first trip of the
season for the mail on the 21st, j
and he said he would have, to go |
by way of the mouth of the Koyuk
which will make the journey much
longer, hut better be safe than
sorry.
Willie, the Shaktoolik carrier
arrived abonf noon and will pro
ceed in the morning and the trail
is fairly good to Golovin from
here, especially to the other side
of the divide where there is not
much Snow.
Tile first fox of the season
arrived in Elim til's evening and
was caught by James Kotongan.
the mayor, it is said to be a good
red pelt.
School is progressing very n ce
!y. and tho primary loom seems
to be gaining faster than the ad
vanced room, but at1 are. doing j
very well.
The natives have been up 'tie
ran longer th's fall than usual
fi Ji'pg and they have done fairly
wei'. as .they have eattght quite n j
few graying, white llsh and trout, j
which will be quite a help in the
food line this winter as they are
frozen right away when caught and
they' remain fresh and good.
One school boy, Percy lvinnegah
bad caught four ermine already
th's fa'll. more power to you.
Percy!
The WUjii schools have enrolled
in the Junior Red Cross already
this fall and “ we want to do our
part," they say.
We are getting ready for the
Thanksgiving feast,' and'vthe men
arrived home from the^fir-st reg
ular Imteher'ng of reindleer today ,
and Itrot thr; meat for the Thanks

Christmas Program by making the
selections of the plays and the
-
recitations.
The regular reindeer election o
officers will take place in thi
school house ai Elim on ^the first
day of Dec. at 9 o’clock, p.m.
There are quite a few of the
people complaining of colils now
and we have quite a bit of medical
work, blit wo hope it will subside
soon.
The N’ltA has not worked any
wonders yet at Elim. but we liars
had no strik‘*s and that says some
thing for the Ellni people, as they
are willing to try the plans of
our president at least.
There has been practically no
travel this way this fall so far
bnt those who come this way with
dog teams will find Mrs. Julius
Pleasant doing a road house busi
ness at the old stand, still, give
her a call.
The sled repair season is on in
full blast sit Elim these days and
as many as four sleds are in the

of room, bring them in boys and
repair them.
