IS IT GIRLS' LEAGUE DAY? A familiar question is the above as every Murray girl is a member of this excellent organization. Here seated are Miss Catherine Daly, adviser, with Mary Atkinson, vice president, and Joan Proshek, president. Standing are pro- gram chairman, Shirley Swensen, treasurer, Audrey Grove, secretary, Margie Johnsen. Going Skating? If you are, here is Miss Audrey Heinz of the Simplicity Pattern Company explaining the advantageous points of the skating cos- tume modeled by Ann Rohleder. Catherine Zandlo is shown wearing a well-tailored winter outfit. In the good old golden-rule days there was no opportunity for great-grandmother to strut across a stage displaying the stiff, brocaded gown she had just completed. In addition to hav- ing no style shows, yesterday's school was without home eco- nomics classes, and girls had to depend upon their mothers' ex'- perience and instruction. Today, girls have an opportunity to follow the latest fashions. Two style shows were presented by the Girls' League in coop- eration with the Simplicity Pattern Company. Members of Mrs. Leona Hanson's sewing classes were the models. Under the guid- ance of Miss Catherine Daly, the Girls' League sponsored a wide variety of programs, the tirst of which was a talent show fea- turing this year's new members. Its birthday in February was celebrated with a party and an honest-to-goodness birthday cake. Of course, funds are necessary for activities and excellent programs, and the girls worked hard on their chief money-rais- ing proiect, the Caramel Apple Sale. The result of this effort was a mother-daughter party for the senior girls. The organization, realizing the need of a set of china for the school's use, began the collection of pennies, dimes, and nickels for this proiect. After each meeting members were asked to slip a few cents into collection boxes at the door. .loan Proshek, president, feels that it has been a pleasant and satisfactory year for Girls' League.

CLASS PLAY IS SMASH HIT Look out for that firecracker! Gee, are those snakes real? Here, kitty, kitty, kitty! All were familiar statements during the rehearsal period of the Senior Class Play, You Can't Take It With You. A double cast was trained under the direction of Miss Florence Vest, and for weeks Murray's auditorium resounded with firework explosions, Xylophone notes, and type- writer keys, together with a background of toe dancing and the banging of a printing press. Chuck Whitehead and Harold Helgeson had fun mastering the art of pipe smoking while Don Kosel and Chuck Michaelson studied extra hours on the Xylophone. Groucho and Harpo, two small black and white kittens, received as much attention from the students during rehearsal as from the audience the nights of the performances. You Can't Take It With You is the story of one family who believed in doing whatever each enjoyed most. Everyone was happy pursuing his own interests until Alice, the only really sane member of the household, fell in love with Tony, the son of a Wall Street financier. Tony's parents arrived unexpectedly at the Sycamore's house only to be arrested by police and thrown in iail. For awhile it seemed as though things would never turn out Barbara Geddes and Roger Wood in a scene that proves true love can run smoothly. right for Tony and Alice, but Grandpa stepped in at this point and made Tony's father realize money and Wall Street were not his real sources of happiness. The play ended on a happy note with YOU CAN'T TAKE IT WITH YOU Penelope Sycamore .,,. .. ,Audrey Grove, Georgia Cook, Barbara Biornstad Essie ......,....,.....,..,.... .. , .. ..
