NPulling The Curtainn tells what happened when Leffie Jewell Hunderstine decided to produce!nr'own play -- her own opus, so to speak --a delicate English drama. Act One shows us at the first reading and castingg Act Two, the dress rehearsal--six months laterg andAct Thm the final performance. But, by the time the first two acts were finished the audience was so exhausted from laughing over Leffiefs troubles at rehearsals it wasdii- ficult for them to believe the play was ever produced. The plot began when Carrie Cadwaller, who played HThe Duchess of Wells,H had her pocketbook stolen and Herman Sprechen, who acts Lord Vmeelern with a German accent, accuses Leffie's henpecked husband of stealing it. Much of the novelty of the play lies in the fact that muchcf the action occurred in the aisles and amidst thex aud- ience. . CHRISTMAS RARTY After the grind of semester exams the junior and senior nigh students gathered in the gym to hear Rev. Ware Wimberly, see the play Angel Child given by the speech class, and sing Christmas carols. A few days before this, all of the students had drawn numbers--those who drew odd numbers bought a pres ent for a boy and those who drew even numbers bought a present for a girl. At 10:50 a.m. Mrs. Santa Claus and her helpers handed out presents to the group. Everyone watched with eager eyes as one-of the helpers carried a large present to Mrs. Stoddard---it was a box which conf tained a small bottle of Jergens lotion wrapped in sev- eral layers of paper. ' ' At last all of the presents were given out and the bus drivers were waiting for us. As we went out of the assembly door Miss Baumgartner, Mr. Sparks,and Mr. Bech- told handed everyone either a cup of ice cream or anlce cream bar to start the Christmas vacation right. y 4- r l scsool.
