Thinking at last to corner him they tel! Gwendolyn to ask Bob what he did with her money. He frantically stalls for time and affairs reach an intensely dramatic point as the hands of the clock slowly move to 4, all unaware of the large part they have to play in what ist going on before them. , Luck is with Bob and the clock strikes before he is forced to te!! where the money is. A very humorous anti-climax ends the play as Bob, released from his terrific tor- ture, proceeds to te!! as many untruths as he can just for the pure love of hearing them once again. 6550655 !t's just plain hard to leave old G. H. S.! When you try to talk about it--words won't come- How can you tel! about the friends you've left, And all the times you've lost-and won. The life of youth is all a battle And it's here we've had our hardest knocks: We've taken them-complete, and onward, Stronger-into the fight we've gone. We've crabbed a lot-and say, we're sorry! We dic!n't mean it-even at the time! ' We guess our faculty just knew it They've all been mighty clean and fine! We won't go on and try to te!! it It's just a great big ache inside- , A lump, refusin' to be swallowed That makes a sob, we just can't hide! X We have to go-it's graduation! J Something for which we all have worked. I guess- 'F ff Goodbye! Gooclluck, appreciation! ffm Strive on! Play clean-for G. H. S.! ff i -Frances Guckert. f ,f 1 660555 i'iQ51'J.k 4 if 'ii ff!

SENIOR PLAY NOTHING BUT THE TRUTH Mr. St. Clair and the faculty once again showed judgment in the choice of the play for this year's graduating class. Nothing But the Truth, by james Montgomery has been very popular through- out the country with its wealth of dry humor and tense action. The play was given on June 5 and 6 in the High School Auditorium. The cast of characters and a reume of the play follows: Robert Bennet .... .... C harles Broughton E. M. Ralston .... ........ A rthur Darrow Dick Donnelly ..... ..... F rederick Detweiler Clarence Van Dussen ..... Robert Edwards Bishop Doran ..... ...... P aul Masters Gwendolyn Ralston-- ...... Helen Wellman Mrs. E. M. Ralston-- --------- Frances Guckert Ethel Clark ----- -. ---- Mary Elizabeth Eddy Mable Jackson ---- -.. ------ Barbara Jones Sable Jackson--- ------ Dorothy Wiley Martha ----- -------. - -- ------- Lucille Ankrum Bob Bennett is a type of young man who is seldom seen in the stock markets of N. Y. To him honesty is the best policy and because of his firm belief in this maxim, he engages in a mighty war of words in which, after a fierce struggle, he is victorious. Bob is a partner in the stock firm of which E. M. Ralston is president. The Ralstons live in high society and his daughter, Gwendolyn, fiancee of Bob, is treasurer olli a committee which is to raise by subscription, the money for a new seaside home for c ildren. Gwendolyn intrusts Sl0,000, which she has raised, to Bob asking him to double it through speculation. Her father has promised that he will double the amount if she can double her 510,000 in five days. Bob dubiously promises to raise the money somehow. His opportunity comes more quickly but in a different manner from what he ex- pected. He is involved in a lengthy discussion about honesty and in the heat of the con- versation he makes a bet for 510,000 with the others of the firm that he will tell the , exact truth for twenty-four hours, or until 4 o'clock the next day. 1 ' Bob uses Gwendolyn's SI0,000 as a stake in the bet in order to be sure that he f l I doesn't try to trick them. Mr. Ralston takes him out to his summer hove over night to X I keep a strict watch over him. 'H 1 The second act is filled with the tragic results of truthfulness, as he must needs XXX XR, embarrass both himself and all his influential friencls by answering exactly thruthful state- K, ments. Even Gwendolyn is mystified,-the bet is to be known to no one but those ff-X involved,-especially when she learns from his truthful lips that he has both held in his arms and kissed a circus lady. XX ' 1 Affairs are brougt' to a climax in the third act when Bob is forced to expose Mr. ' 1 Ralston to his. wife by telling that he had lighted a cigarette for two flirts in his office. ' Q His announcement causes a near divorce. g CK X His friends are getting frantic as they see their money fading and Bob is getting f exceedingly nervous as the hour creeps around to four. f N 'AQ 1' S' z X X l W nyc' . l 1'l'Ili't'l1 , X 5 ' XX XXX Q x XX V X.

JUNIURS The juniors started the year with lots of pep and class spirit. At the circus held in the High School Building, the class had a Chamber of Horrors and it was a great success. Those who attended the presentation of the four competi- tive one-act plays will remember that of Grandmother Pulls the String, presented by the Juniors. Cn May 2 the Junior assembly occurred in which was given a play called The Flattering Word. The talent shown in the play made the class very proud. This was the first class to get one hundred per cent in the sale of football tickets. Of course the annual junior-Senior Banquet capped the climax of the year's festivities.
