THE CHERADO-1924 Class Prophecy New Invention QFrom Scientific Monthlyj Mr. H. M. Pitney demonstrated the merits of his new aeroplane to a group of eminent scientists at his private field near Cheraw, Colo- rado. The new plane is propelled by a simple motor which runs on a mixture of helium and salt water. The plane is able to ascend and descend vertically, and has a large rubber bumper to land on.

O scar Unruh THE CHERADO-1924 Senior Class Play Many of the people of Cheraw now think that the establishment of a Charm School would be a paying investment, so don't you think the class play must' have been a success? Yes, it certainly was, and it made a big hit as the first Senior class play ever given at Cheraw. The Charm School was a splendid play and although designed as a comedy it had many little scenes otherwise. Oscar Unruh and Margaret Reeder, playing as leads, scored decided hits, while Verda Riley, as Sally Boyd, was splendid and kept the audience laughing all the while. Everyone in their part played splendidly, and helped to assure the success of the play. Four under classmen were kind enough to help us by filling parts for which we had no Seniors. Venus Basinger and Phyllis Cole played minor parts of school girls, while Milan Basinger and Raymond Conder played as the Twins with equal success. Miss Nettie Scheerer was chosen as coach and due to her efforts and the the co-operation of the entire cast, the play was a great success. The cast was as follows: George Boyd, an accountant ................. David McKenzie, a lawyer ............... Mr. Homer Johns, uncle of Elise ........
