Austin Bevans, automobile salesman ...... ......... 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 ........ Tim Simpkins ................................... Jim Simpkins ........................................... The Twins ......Marshall Pitney .......Ralph Conder ...........Ray Preston ........Milan Basinger Raymond Conder Elise Bennedotti, Pres. Girls' Class ................

THE CHERADO-1924 What do you know about czecho- slovakia? asked Miss Haeseler. It's hard to say, replied Sarah. I do hope that you keep your cows in a pasture, said Miss Scheer- er, as the milkman was leaving. Yess'm, replied the milkman, of course we keep them in the pas- ture. I'm so glad. I have been told that pastuerized mi.k is muclh better than any other kind. Do you ever hear voices without being able to tell where they come from? Yes, sir, replied Elvin. When does this occur? When I am talking over the te'e- phone on April Fool. Do you believe in long engage- ments? asked Elvin. Indeed I do, Helen returned. A couple shoulfl be happy as long as possible. Marshall found himself facing an audience of electors at a recent election meeting and had prepared a fervid oration in support of his father's candidature, but for the first few moments he could do noth- ing but gasp. Then, in response to an encouraging cheer, he began to speak. Mr.-er-Chairman, he stam- mered, when I-when I left home tonight only two people on this earth-my father and mother- knew what I was going to sayg but now-er-well, only father knows. Robert C.-Un a restaurant! Waiter, I ordered an egg sandwich and you brought me a chicken sand- wich. Waiter: Yes, sir. I was a little late calling for your order. Two high school girls were en- gaged in conversation of the street. Said Velma: Elvin tried to kiss me last night and I wouldn't let him. Did it make him angry? Beulah asked. I should say so.

Well, Ralph always tries to do what I like. Mr. Dolph was talking to the phy- sics class: You don't know the meaning perhaps, of energy and enterprise. Some day vou will have to make your way in this world. Well, l'l tell you. One of the richest men in the world came to a city without a shirt on his back, and now he is a man of millions. Ray looked puzzled. Millions, sir? he repeated in wonderment. How many does he wear at a time? Gladys burst into the drawing room. Thelma, I've been playing postman, and I've put a letter in every box in the street, she saizl with pride. Nonsense, child, answered The- ma. Where did you get the let- ters? Oh, replied Gladys, I found them in a drawer of your wardrobe done up with pink ribbon. Mrs. Morehead one morning as she entered the library was some- what surprised to find Neva seated in one chair, with her hands foldel. Whatl cried the mother, here you are sitting down! Why I sent you in here to dust the room. Yes, mother, was Neva's reply. but I've lost the duster, and so I am sitting on each of the chairs in turn. A little bit of bluffing, A little air that's hotg Makes our recitations Seem like what they're not. Mrs. Pierce: Qto talkative Earlj Take the front seat. Earl: Where shall I -take it?

I don't eat sweets. The young woman's patience was exhausted. Sir, she said grimly, will you buy this box of soap? Raymond paid up.
