OUR GANG A number (?) of years ago one theater manager discovered that having a Children's Day at his theater was no fun. What youngsters did most in giv- ing him a headache? Sh! a secret, our faculty. As the lights went out, little Johnny Trapp glanced cautiously about him. Seeing that no one was looking, he slid to the floor and began to saw off the leg of the chair occupied by Leora Smith. She was busy sewing to the plush back chair the coat of the woman in front of her. Simultaneously two screams were heard. The needle had found its mark--and so had the saw! Gladys Elmer and Red Whitmore, angelic-looking children, next interrupted by making their dolls cry several times and Archie Messenger accompanied by a blast on a tiny toy horn. A pretty little girl with blond curls was sitting next to an empty seat, anda furious argument arose between little George Hargreaves, all dressed up in a soldier suit, and Frankie McMahon, as to who would sit by her. Frankie won, but looked out of only one eye at the rest of the show. To and from, to and from the water jar went Dimples Burgess, showing off his new Scout suit, anda great hullabaloo arose when Polar Baird stuck his foot in the aisle and tripped him. Were there no good children in the audience? Yes, Marian Miller and Mary Bocon sat tense and wide-eyed, oblivious to all save the exciting pic- ture, while Kenny Carpenter was sound asleep. After the picture, the master-of-ceremonies (the postman on route 2) walked onto the stage and announced that the amateur contest would now be held. He then read off the names of the persons who had signed up for the contest. Number one contestant was Jackie Joslow with his violin. Hardly had he played the first few bars of Humoresque, when a loud cry was heard. Eleanor Staton ran onto the stage, violin tucked under her chin, sobbing, He played my piece! He played my piece} Waaa. After the two quarreling violinists (?) had been shoved off the stage contestant number two appeared. Mary Cormier began, Oh, Mother, looki Somewhere down in the audience was little Wallie Longmore who disliked mon-— Ologues. Breaking off a piece of his heavy peppermint stick, he took care- ful aim at the gong and fired. Bong! Contestant, or rather, contestants number three appeared. It was a trio--Carlton Miner, Florence Saulnier, and Grattan Rooney. Down by the Old Mill Stream, began Florence. Where I first met you, continued the two boys. After they had concluded, thunderous applause was heard. The next number on the progra m was a young student of the terpsichorean art. Johnny Millane was going to do a toe dance and sing his own accompaniment. Tra la tra la, for I'm to be queen of the May, began he in his Devine (Andy) soprano voice. Bongt A little girl with a huge ribbon tied to her braids next sang... It was Olive Brooks accompanied by vivacious little Yvonne Bergeron. Madolin Cannon and Ida Hubbel came onto the stage in cute Dutch costumes and began their dance of the tulips. In the middle of the dance Madolin got stage fright and ran off. Ida, rather puzzled, didn't know what to do, so she sat down in the middle of the stage and began to cry. The last contestant, Petey Peterson, refused to be pushed from the wings. Ladeez and gen'lemen! In the opinion of the judges, first prize goes to the trio, second to the little Misses Brooks and Bergeron, third prize to our future Jascha Heifitz, Jackie Joslow.
