Dramatics On the evening of December 19 the all- school play, A Full I-louse, was successfully presented on an improvised stage in the high school gymnasium. lt was a farcical three-act comedy by the Well-known writer, Fred Jack- son, and was full of screamingly funny situa- tions from beginning to end. The plot centered around Ned Pembroke, a reckless and wealthy youth who wrote ardent love letters, George Howell, an attorney brother-in-laxv, who stole them and who had the misfortune of getting his hand bag mixed up with the grip belonging to King, the burg- lar, who had just stolen a valuable necklace from the mother of the indiscreet youth, and around the ellorts of the crook to recover his plunder.

Freshmen .,-1--- E. lt was September 22nd and thirty-six eager but timid freshmen made their first appearance at the Galt High School. If there was fear of those wise and dignilied upper classmen then, it soon va11isl1ed. All we11t well for two or three weeks. Then OIIC day they got us together and l1'lZlI'Cl'lCCl us i11to tl1e dressing roon1s. There we were Hxed up and painted beyond recognition. 'l'l1e11 we were forced to attend our classes i11 that man- ner! much to their ClltC1't2lil1lTlCl1f. Witli tl1e close of the eighth period came great relief. ' There was a wild rush for tl1e dressing rooms, a11d when we ap- peared again we looked much more civilized. These cruel upper classmen did not see111 satisfied with tl1is. They then gave us a reception at wl1icl1 we were again forced to entertain them. Never-A theless everyone had a good ti111e. Refreshments were served and the rest of tl1e evening was spent i11 dancing Zllld singing. We were then considered members of tl1e student body. After that tl1e upper classmen did not seem to tower so far above our heads. On March 30 we began the preparation for a return reception. ln athletics we were well represented for the iirst year. David Nessen played on tl1e second team i11 basket ball. Arthur Cellini also played 011 the second tCZ1lTl Illlil as substitute on the hrst tea111.
