27 PERISCOPE emar Class |3lay “•Syafetn JFii-at” The Senior class chose “Safety First” as their class play and made a huge success of it. I( had prohahly the largest attendance of any play given during the year. The amount cleared was large and enabled the Senior class to enter into other activities. The first scene of the play was carried on in the home of Jack Montgomery, where his wife was discovered crying. Jack had not come home all night and the attempt of the cook, Mary Ann, to console her mistress had the opposite effect, as she related horrible incident after incident. Elmer Flannel, a young college chap, made his appearance on the scene and tried to console Mabel. He also made a slip, and Mabel learned he was to marry a Turkish girl, Zuleika, which only made matters worse. Mabel’s sister, Virginia. appeared and Mabel related to her how Jack and Jerry Arnold, Virginia's sweetheart. had disappeared. They asked Elmer to take them to the police sttaion and he at first refused, as he intended to see the Shriners leave for Florida at noon. HowWere, when Abou Ben Mocha put in his appearance and told how his daughter, Zuleika, had disappeared and showed a card bearing the name of Jack Montgomery, Elmer was moie than willing to accompany them to the police station. Ahou caused a row and Elmer and Mary Ann threw him out of the house. While Mitbel. Virginia and Elmer were at the police station, Jack and Jerry put in their appearance. They related the experience of the night before, which was at the fortune tellers. They had gone to Zuleika's to try to get her to leave Elmer alone, and while, there the police broke in and tried to arrest them. A fight ensued, and after kicking one of the policemen and spending the night in a box car. they had arrived home. They decided to tell Mabel and Virginia that they had joined a lodge, but misfortune overtook them again when an officer accompanied by Zuleika put in his appearance. Officer McNutt told them that they had a sentence of thirty days which they must serve for assaulting a policeman. Mabel, Vitginia and Elmer returned from the police station and Jack and Jerry told them they were leaving on the Shrine excursion to Florida and that McNutt and Zuleika were married and going on their honeymoon. Elmer was grief-stricken ; and McNutt being Mary Ann's fiance, she fainted. The second scene opened with Elmer's return from California, where he had gone to try to forget Zuleika. He learned from Mabel and Virginia of Jack and Jerry’s apparent deatli at sea, and thus more sorrow was added to his lot. While Mabel and Virginia were gone to order a marble monument, Abou put in his appearance and after terrorizing Maty Ann and Elmer, he learned that Zuleika had apparently eloped with McNutt. The thirty days were tip and Jack and Jerry again put in their appearance, and were forced to make up quite a story explaining that they weren't drowned. Abou terrorized everyone and finally the blame for Zuleika’s disappearance rested on Jack’s and Jerry’s shoulders. Jack was advised by Elmer to act crazy as “a Turk never injures an insane man,” so Jack followed his advice. McNutt made a plea to Jack and Jerry to fix everything with Mary Ann, but they refused. He told Mary Ann everything, she told Mrs. Barrington, Bridges, the mother of Mabel and Virginia, and so Mrs. Barrington Bridges took the girls to her home. Elmer and Zuleika got married and he introduced Zuleika as a baroness to Mrs. Barrington Bridges. Jack sneaked into the garden and visited Mabel and they decided to

29 PERISCOPE Sanders M. Jackson Saxton junior Class History It was in tli(k month of October that the present Junior class, consisting of thirty-six members made their debut in high school. Fearing that our present knowledge of high school affairs was very limited, we elected all mid-term Freshmen for our officers. The ones responsible for activities were: Abe Regier. piesident; Robert Harris, vic-president: and Lynne Black, secretary. Orange and white seemed to fit the taste of most of the Frosh. so consequently they were chosen. Thus we commenced our second year in high school with much the same spirit and pep. We elected the following for our officers: Willard Brown, president: Bill Sanders, vice-president: and Kennedy Warden, secretary. Duifng this year we took a more active part in all activities. Our first social event was the Sophomore and Freshman reception, which, of course, was a success. And under the direction of Miss Dick we presented the play, Mr. Bob.” This, our Junior year, has found us taking part in all activities. Being decreased greatly in number did not hinder us in going to the top in all our undertakings. Our officers during this term were: Bill Sanders, president: Marjorie Jackson, vice-presi- dent : Verda Saxton, secretary. This season both the hoys and girls entered more enthusiastically into all forms of athletics. The basketball teams consisted mainly of Junior members, and with their support helped win a large percentage of the games. We have also been represented in the Glee club and other studnt aetivitis. With special work on the class play and the Junior and Senior reception, the Juniors have been very busy for the past months. Now that our Junior term is nearly to a close we are looking forward with match anticipation as to what we will accomplish as Seniors. And with the best wishes to the present Senior class, we hope to occupy their place with the same spirit and pep we have had in former years.
