The play takes place in a mining town called Smith's Pocket where M'Liss lives with her father, Bummer, an eccentric old prospector who inherits a fortune. Two schemers. Carter and Clara, do away with 'Bummer in order to gain this fortune. The blame is placed on John Grey, M Liss's sweetheart, and a humorous trial is held by the Judge. All ends happily, however, with Yuba Bill proving himself the hero. NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY The purpose of the National Honor Society is to bestow honor upon those worthy of acclaim for general ability and citizenship. Fifteen per cent of each graduating class is eligible to election, one-third during the junior year and the remainder during the senior year. Selection is based on scholarship, service, leadership, and character. The decision is made by faculty members. Representatives from the class of 1942 are Irene McKee, Rose Mullen, Paul Spry, and Joe Stinehagen. There will be seven seniors and three juniors chosen towards the close of the school year. INDIAN STAFF EDITORS AND REPORTERS Marjorie Reinhard Joe Stinehagen Betty Bird Robert Evans Earl Greene Sponsor—Miss DeLores Walker This staff took over the Indian publication at mid-semester, the members having been chosen by examinations given in the Senior English class. The paper was published once a week, the staff doing all the work—reporting, typing and mimeographing. The different assignments were alternated from week to week, giving each member experience in the different lines of journalism.
