The A Play of the June, l939, class was unique among A plays. lt was an old-fashioned melodrama called He Ain't Done Right by Nell, written by Wilbur Braun. Poor little Nell, often learning she had no right to the name of Perkins, pre- pared to roam in the cold, cruel world. However, Burkett Carleton, Nell's real grandfather, arrived just in time to prevent this and to catch Hilton Hayes who had stolen money from the Carleton mill. As the curtain fell, everyone fexcept Hilton Hayesl was rejoicing at Nell's restoration to her family and to Jack Logan's manly arms. Ah! l'm sure we'll always remember those heroic speeches and, of course, the romantic ones. lt did seem sort of strange to have Nell out picking wild flowers during a blizzard. This is just one of the humorous incidents. Bob Currie certainly did right by us when he chose He Ain't Done Right by Nell. The cast of char- acters was as follows. Nell Perkins ......... ...... . ..

The serving of refreshments by the members of the com- mittee was a very popular finale, Twenty-seven
