J Lmior Class Play Believe It or Not was the title of the Junior Class Play presented December 16, under the direction of Miss Stewart and Miss Lowry. Harriet Follis, played by Donna Jones, was confronted with a per- plexing situation when her wealthy Uncle Silas, Hubert Craig, insisted that she marry before she was twenty-two if she desired to inherit his money. Harriet approached the dreaded age without any suitors. Com- plications arose when Nancy, portrayed by Eugenia Dick, tried to help her churn by donning male attire and posing as her fiance during the visit of her uncle. To make matters even more complicated, Herbert Rackoff, in the role of Norman Follis, donned female attire and was employed as the new maid. His object was to get a better slant on the whole affair. This gave way to many a laugh but the tangled strings were finally readjus-ted and all ended well. Other members of the cast were as follows: Lena, a maid, Lois Ben- ford, Mrs. Pottle, June Collinsg Gladys Pottle, Margaret Bowman: Jane Pottle, Betty Mae Browng Plumber, Winfield McMullen, Cuthbert Jack- son, William Woodsg Bridget 0'Hara, Martha Driscoll: Health Inspecn tress, Leona Barnhart, and Detective, Jack Shives. Senior Class Play A three act comedy, The Youngest. was presented as the annual Senior Class play on May 5, under the direction of Miss Margaret Bane.

Richard reached the last straw when for the hundredth time he was ejected from his room on account of a house guest who was about to arrive, but when the visitor arrived all objections disappeared because it was Nancy, Eleanor Hyatt, the girl friend of big brother Oliver, Frank Christopher. - Nancy, who had learned of Richard's queerness decided upon a cure and took Muff, Rose Aline Mestrezat, and Mark, Kenneth Welling, younger sister and brother of the Winslow family into her confidence and began her reformation. . Through Alan, Frank Mulligan, a lawyer friend of tl1e family, Richard learned that the Winslow home and all the family money be- longed to him due to an old will. He took advantake of this opportunity in order to seek revenge. At a Fourth of July celebration Richard thoroughly alarmed the family by asserting his new found independence.
