“Aunt Abby Answers an Ad,"'
puit on bv tihe High School Stu-!
dent Body, last Saturday right,
was certainly a success,both from
the standpoint of entertainment
and the financial angle. The cast
more than did justice to the
script, and some of the scenes
had the audience roaring with
laughter. Virginia Calikins, as
Aunt Abby. played the part to:
perfection, and Lucindy Lovejoy,
played by Vesta Poison, was
screamingly funny. The rest of
the cast—Norvin Lewis as Hor
ace Harter. Rita O’Leary as An
na, Geraldine Rude as Lillian,
her girl friend, Fred Waid and
3obby Scott as Billy and Bobby,
their boy friends, Bud Cunning
ham as Horace Harkwel, and
Edith Hoop as Essie, were excel
lent. and the play was greatly
enjoyed by all who attended.
Great credit g es to Bobby Scott,
who, suddenly drafted for emerg
ency duty, learned his part ;n five
days and acted it very well.
On May 8. the Junior Class en
tertained the Seniors at the an
nual Junior-Senior Banquet. The
t^ble was decorated in yelow and

licious dinner, Toastmaster Eddie
Shedley introduced the speakers,
Charles Lewis, president of the
Junior Class, Norvin Lewis, pres
ident of the Senior Class, Mr.Ry
deen, Mr. Pool, and Marguerite
Lee. After dinner, moving pic
tures taken by people of the town
were shown, and dancing conclud
ed the evening's entertainment.
The Scrub Team played the
Huskiettes last Tuesday afternoon
and were ignominously defeated.
The scoring during the gasne was
oose. and the ending scare .van
a tie of 12 to 12. In a two-min
ute overtime. Forward Dunham
sank a shot, and when Emie
Burgh matched it, it looked like
another tie score. Dunham came
to the rescue, scoring the winnimg
basket, and the final score was
16-14 in favor of the Huskiettes.
The Manual Training boys were
hard at work last week getting
the stage sets ready for the play.
They calcimined the walls, built
another section, and remodeled
the set by changing doors and
windows. One of the boys is
building a window-box, and they
spent some time filing and shar
pening saws.
The Home Making girls spent
the w’eek learning to make button
holes, both the bound and the or
dinary type.
