U55 cyouia of fffe ijfaiffing .figgf Thrills and chills were only :J few of the emotions felt by the audience while attending the senior class play, The House of the Flashing Light, which was presented to capacity crowds on February sixth and seventh. The play, three acts of comedy and suspense, was directed by Miss Perry, with Edna Eddy as student director, Miss Buchanan as business adviser, Virgil Williams as stage manager, Vernon Lunsford, business manager, and Leona Brant, property manager. The cast consisted of eleven members, six girls and five boys. The part of the black figure was portrayed by Freda Theis, The setting was a mysterious old house on the Pacific Coast. Period fur- niture and furnishings of the early eighteen-nineties was the background. It was a thrilling mystery with its secret compartments, the 'fdevil's eye shining red in the dark, the flashing light, and the sinister dark clothed figure.

It's certainly attractive, was the comment heard in the halls of C.V.H.S. one morning in May. We'll tell you. The gold pin is the Honor Society em- blem, and only students who are members may wear it. How can I be a member? If you really want to be a member and wear the pin, you must first of all be a good student: in fact, the best possible one, be- cause you must rank in the upper third of your class in scholarship. Oh, well I do, why am I not a member? There are other things to be considered, too. Only five per cent of the juniors and Hfteen per cent of the seniors may belong. So if you're a sophomore, you'll have to wait. How many are members now? l Six. There are four seniors and two juniors, for the Hrst time since the society was organized in 1932, all members are girls. The members who were elected first se- mester were: Freda Theis, Irene Henson. and Dorothy Wear, seniors: and Betty Bar- ney, the lone junior. Two members were added the second semester: Sethyne Brant, senior, and Elma Reichenberg, junior, When was the College View Chapter organized? Our chapter was organized in May, 1932, and consisted of five senior members. Who elects the members? The members of this organization are selected by the vote of the faculty, as a committee, with Mr. johnson, principal, pre- siding as chairman, What is the purpose of the Honor So- ciety? It is to bestow honor upon students who rank superior in scholarship, render service, and who are worthy leaders. Nineteen

'towing Qaini Gay and vivacious, Growing Pains was the comedy presented by the junior class on May seventh and eighth. The story dealt with the dilemma of the Mclntyre family. Desperately, but lovingly, the gentle mother and the abstracted professor endeavored to stem the tide of adolescence in which their boy and girl were tossed, helping to stem the turbulent course with advice from a distance but which the ego-centric two managed to spurn definitely, Along with the Uneighborhood kids the spirited ones managed to ache and suffer as only the young growing can. From a first formal to a A' 'titanic' love affair the family wallowed and waded in a muddled mire of humorous situations, with laughter piled upon laughter. A vague but definite undercurrent of genuine pathos that gave a true insight into the woes and joys so prevelant and all-important to the younger generation prevailed throughout the play.
