Selntlor Possibly the most successful play that has yet been given by the Senior Class was presented on the night tif MMI gist' 'U2'- WITCH Much Ado About Betty was given by the class of ,2I. .X capable cast was selected and the play was Very efficiently directed by Miss McCauley and Miss Cressman. Betty Campbell f.Xmanda XYertzl, a populgir movie star, is closely guarded against any SIUUPFS lib' llsf Aunt llrillllie ixilll l'ricel. But one of these suitors. Lin Leonard fplayed by Adolphus Allisonl is very persistent, and he climbs into Betty's apartments by means of the Ere escape. XVhile in lletty's rooms he meets E. Z. Ostrich CW'itt llutchisonl, an eccentric play- wright, for whom prohibition holds no fears. Ostrich oiyfers to help Lin meet Betty. Lizzie Clfmerctta Pricej, Betty's maid, sees from the window the police chasing an old chautteur-, who is but Lin Leonard in disguise. The chaufteur enters the room as Betty and Lizzie leave. The police knock on the door and Lin hides. He next appears. sans disguise, and prevents the search of the police. Lizzie thinks Lin is lg!etty's husband. She goes out, much to Betty's displeasure, and then Lin introduces himself to Betty. Previous to this, Major Alexander jartree fMaurice Halleml from XVichita, Kansas, in- forms Aunt VVinnie that. according to her grandfather's will, if Betty Campbell is not married by her nineteenth birthday, he will receive 335,000 He promises 35.000 of this to VVinnie if she keeps Betty unmarried until after her nineteenth birthday. , This is Betty's nineteenth birthday and Aunt VVinnie finds that the Major has cheated her. She comes in as Betty and Lin are getting acquainted. She dismisses Lin and' asks Betty to marry him. Betty agrees. They are married, and leave for Florida, where Betty had arranged to spend her vacation. In Florida, at the Hotel Poinsettia. we meet some of the guests, including Miss Chizzle, of the North Georgia Chizzlesf' fTressie Fisherj, Mrs. Diggins QMadeline Dipplej and her daugh- ter Dafiodil fPauline Dipperyj. A wreck has occurred near by and it is the chief topic of discussion. Miss Chizzle has called Dr. McNutt CMelvin Hendrenj who explains the details. Violet Ostrich next appears fMiriam Cohenj and the ladies take her to be the young lady who is suffering from aphasia, the result of the wreck, but in reality it is Betty Campbell, or Mrs. Lin Leonard. The doctor endeavo1's to identify Betty and to restore her memory. Betty has with her a purse that once belonged to Violet Ostrich, and the doctor, seeing Violet's name on the purse, thinks the mystery has been solved and that Betty's name is Violet Ostrich. Ned O'Hare fChris. Rowlandj has just been married to Violet. The doctor and Ned are old friends, and when Ned tells the doctor that he is married to Violet he is surprised to learn that the doctor has already met his wife. Ned's parents, Ebenezer and Mrs. Q'Hare rMerrill Fultz and Marguerite Ornerj provide a large portion of the comedy element of the play. In the third act we find all the male characters in search of their respective wives. Then comes the Major, looking for Betty also, to find if S116 is really lliilrried Ol' not. Lin is talking with the Major when Ned and Violet appear. Ebenezer and his wife come in and then follows the discussion between Violet and Mrs. O'Hare,HS to who she fVioletj really is. The climax is reached when the doctor brings in Betty, the supposed Violet. The meeting of Lin and Betty is largely a matter of explanations and all ends happily. A few of the minor characters were: Archie, the colored bell-hop QI-Iarry Pricejg Pearlie, Violet's maid CMildred Huntj, and the children, Violet's daughter, little Violet Uosephine Dip- peryj, and Diamond, Pearlie's daughter CCath3rine Andersj. The school girls and boys were Eugene Smith, Homer S. Forsythe, Pauline Reed, Dorothy Huyett, Alma Bingaman, Ruth Hunt and Katherine Shenk. The entire play was presented with great spirit, and was much enjoyed by the school.

Join er Gtltass The Class of '22 entered Lewistown High IH the fall of 11418 with a membership of prac tically I25. After due consideration we decidel upon purple and gold for our colorsf To man age our class affairs we elected as president Clayton Hook:Yice President, Marguerite hlateer: Treasurer, Grace Barnett and Secretary, Cecile Lytel. ln athletics we did verv little in com- parison with thc other teams, but by constant practice We laid the foundation 'for out ftttttt-3 athletic fame. Our sole social function was a .-traw ride. This showed that even in our infancr in High School we understood that school was the place for study and not ftyt' amusement, i Our Sophomore yea' was one of the happiest years of our school life. Our first move was to hold a class meeting to elect class ofiicers and decide whether or not to change our color.. For various reasons it was deemed best to change our colors to maroon and white, and these will be our colors throughout our remaining school years. As officers we elected Ruth Peters for Presidentg Clayton llook, Treasurer: Elwrod Derr, Vice President, and Cecile Lytel as Secre- tary. XVe had a membership of about 115 an-I with loyal support' frona every one ot these it was not unexpected that .ve should be winners in most of Olll' Lllldertakings, The first game of the season was foot bali. The boys of '22 now made use of the training of their Freshman year and set up for us a champion team which was defeated by no other class team. In basket hall our boys of the maroon and white were less successful because our class had lost several of its best players. But refusing' to be backsliders. we produced a champion basket ball team though only a cellar champ team. The next athletic events were on the track. Quite a few pleasant surprises in the way of material were found, so that our track team came up to the standard of our other teams. Our Junior year seems yet the brightest of all. We are in number 78. Under the able leadership of Ray Aurand, Janet Mitchell, Clayton Hook and Helen Price. as President. X ice President, Treasurer and Secretary, respectively, we hope to close our hrst year as upper-classmen very successfully. Our social career as Juniors took on a more serious aspect for in addition to the reception which we will soon give to the class of 1921 we have had two parties which were well attended. The first party, a masquerade, which was held in the High School building, won much praise, but the last 0116, a chicken and waffle supper, at Milroy was unanimously voted the best. 1922 has always held for her aim the best in school life. As Freshmen. Sophomores and Juniors we strove to lift better up to best and as Seniors in the coming year we shall attempt to magnify that ideal and set an example for those following in our footsteps so that in recalling the class of IQ22 they will always think of her as representative of the best spirit of L.
