Ending Mar. 19
PROGRAM
A small but appreciative aud
ience gathered in the school aud
itorium Saturday evening to wit
ness the program put on by the
High School. The Glee Club, un
der Miss Scott’s supervision, open
ed the program with two songs,
“Shining Night" and “Pretty Lit
tle Snowdrop.” Marianne Mish
played a piano solo, and Audrey
Dunham sang “In My Solitude”
and “Shine on, Harvest Moon.”
The play “Nevertheless” was
notable for the outstanding per
formances of the cast. The plot
centered about the word, Never
theless, and the way two children
used it to set a man back on the
straight and narrow path. The
Girl, played by Edith Hoop, was
really an outstanding portrayal
of the emotions of a child, while
the Boy, played by Bob Scott, &
the Burglar, Fredrick Bockman,
were also exceptionally present
ed.
‘‘The Apple Pie" proved to be
a good piay, well presented. The
antics of Junior, Harry Lewis,
kept the audience chuckling ant}
Dovey, his harassed papa, rather
flustered. The sight of Junior
stretched across the paternal lap
while Dovey repaired some dam
age to the rear of his son's pants
was greeted with gales of laugh
ter. The play went off smoothly
and kept the crowd laughing and
entertained.
CLEAN-UP
Last Wednesday afternoon a
number of our boys might have
been seen going domestic and
wielding scrub brushes and mops
with vim and vigor. The high
school pupils decided to take over
the responsibility of improving
the appearance of their rooms,
and the boys volunteered for the
first clean-up. Scrub brushes &
scrapers, backed up with plenty
of elbow grease, removed gum
and ink spots from the floor, and
the general cleaning much im
proved the appearance of the
rooms.
BASKETBALL GAMES
Friday evening the first basket
ball games of the season were
played. The High School Girls
took on the Married Women for
a practice battle, while the High
School Boys played the Nome
Team.
The Women’s game was fast
and furious. The High School
took and held the lead for the
first half, but in the second half
the Married Women overtook and
defeated them with a score of 16
to 11. Neither of the teams had
had much practice and judging
from the playing of both, the wo
men’s senes is going to see some
pretty keen competition.
It seemed to be an off night for
the high school, for the Nome
team cleaned up the boys to the
tune of 23-17. The boys held
their own pretty well, however,
and stand an excellent chance of
winning future battles.
TYPING COMPETITION
With the approach of the Fair,
all our typing speed-demons are
practicing up enthusiastically.
The speed tests which are to be
taken during the Fair are caus
ing quite a little excitement, and
some keen competition is prom
ised.
