ALL ABOARD All Aboard, the Senior Class play, was the biggest and best class play ever pro- duced in L. H. S. It was full of pep and humor from beginning to end. The theme of the play is centered aroiund the loss of a set of false teeth belonging to Billy Bradly flVlilton Cohenl, and in the mixup following, the stewardess flVlary Shieldsj, Mrs. Sloane flVlargaret Boyerj, and Alexander Phome Uohn Noltel, all lose their teeth. ln truth, Billy has stolen these various sets of teeth to get a set to take the place of the ones he lost, but none will fit, so he returns them to thjeir owners. Billy does not want his sweetheart, Beatrice Sloane CSarah Saxtonl, to know he has false teeth, as she cletests them. Wihile he is without his teeth, Johnny Thomas fRay Lynchj, his rival for Beatrice, takes advantage of this and makes love to Beatrice in Billy's presence. This enrages Billy, who throws a pillow at him, but it hits Mrs. Sloane instead. Dorothy Brady flVlargaret Mcclenahenl, does her best to take care of her brother, but she only mixes things up more. Billy's teeth have been found by two sailors fl-lughbert O'Dell and Wardell Howelll, who take them to Laptain Kidd Cpaul Wayj. He decides to hold an auction sale and calls all people on deck. The bidding is fast and furious, but finally the teeth go to johnny for 5900. johnny has had a change of heart and presents the teeth to Billy, apologizing for his conduct. Beatrice tells Billy that she does not mind his teeth since she heard how he lost them and all ends happily. No one can ever forget the antics and cut-ups of Alexander, or the trouble Billy had in talking without his false teeth. The choruses and songs were snappy and full of life with everyone doing their best to put the show over big. The play was under the direction of William T. Beak, of the john B. Rodgers Produc- ing Company. Every member of the class was in the cast. This is the first time that this has happened and it certainly made the showa success

CLASS HISTORY Each one of us who is assembled here tonight, will recall with me the many, many events that have happened in the last four years that have made our Alma Mater so dear to us. As Historian of our class, l shall roll back the curtain that hides from us the days that have passed since we entered Lewistown High School, and recount once more some of those things that none of us can ever forget. ln September, l9l9, our class entered this school 220 strong. Though little and unsophisticated greenies, we became popular with the teachers and the students of the other classes. Being noticed just a little more than other Freshman classes had been, we were in- formed that our class was elevated enough to have a class meeting and to elect officers who would lead us through the term. After the election of officers we chose green and white as our class colors. During the athletic season the green and white was very conspicuous by its presence and success in winning laurels. The upper classmen all sat up and took notice when WE walked off with the honors of basket ball champions. Our next big fete was a party which was a greater success than any party previously held by a Freshman class. When we parted in l920, it was with the thought that our first year in High School was well worth while, due to the fact that it was a stepping stone to our own advancement, as well as to the greater service in L. H. S. At the opening of the term in I920, l50 Sophomores, with colors flying high, resolved to keep on as a winning class. Our football team, spurred on by the praise and gallant sup- port of its class, tied every game it played and no class had the honor of defeating the Sopho- mores. I ln basketball the record of our boys was a remarkable one which was proven when we were again presented with the honorary cup. Even the juniors admitted that the title of champions was well merited. We completed our Sophomore year with an April Fool party which was held in the High School building. The success of this party helped emphasize the importance of our presence. When we had acquired considerable more wisdom we, with others, beheld ourselves as stately juniors. At our class meeting we elected four of our able leaders: Paul Way, john Young, Fay Schucht and Ethel Peters, to lead our noble II5 classmates through our first year as upper classmen. We showed still more athletic ability when we won the silver loving cup for our wonderful work in track. One of the most important events of our jun- ior year was tfhe abolition of a poster day. We were the first class to make such a move for the improvement of the High School as well as for the welfare of the students of this school. We know it has been a great move, as the class has beer: congratulated for it by many of the best educated people of the town. The year was closed by the reception we gave to the Seniors. We have been told that it was the best Prom in years. Our long hoped for year has come. We are not little Freshmen, but dignified Seniors, with a class of 85 resolved to do its best under the successful leadership of Paul-for where there's a will there's a Way. Our first social event was a dinner-dance, which was held in the Coleman House. All pronounced it a huge success. We could not be expected to do much in athletics as the varsity teams had our best men. That our ability and success have been equally divided has been proven when you think of the different oratorical contests which were participated in and won by different members of our class. Our next big event was a musical comedy, All Aboard. We were the first class to produce a play of which the cast consisted of every member of the class. l need not praise the play, but only say it was put across in our usual characteristic way. A week or so after the play had been com- pleted, we closed our social activities by taking a trip to Washington. Several classes prev- ious to ours had planned to do this, but we were the first to take the initiative and carry out the plans. lt was a fitting close to our four evientful years of High School. Thus you may see, from this brief review of our sojourn in Lewistown High School, that the Class of I923 is the most active and most famous class that has ever dwelt within its walls: and now l shall drop the curtain over fthe past four happy years, and may each of us never forget the joyous days in L. H. S.
