SENEOR PLAY Cn April l5 the Senior Class presented their class play, Hot Copy. The action takes pla.ce in the office of a small town nevpspaper. The editor of the paper has been threatened by the local politicians because he refuses to support them in a crooked deal involving the municipal water supply. One of the politfcians secures the mortgage on the plant and it looks for a time as if the ed tor would lose h.s paper. The climax of the play is built around the attempt to locate a mfssing copy of a story the editor has written and which has been accepted for production by a mov.ng picture company. At length the story is found, the villainous politicians are foiled, right triumphs, and everyone is happy.

The plot was built around a popu ar college student, Dave Carson, who is unjustly accused of dishonesty, and who, for various reasons is not able to defend himself. He is expelled from college, Init the true facts are later brought to light. Dave is reinstated at the college, and the operetta ends with the entire company in a happy and somewhat romantic moofl. The principals were: lilmim Ray, Dave Storey, Bennett VVetherald, Regina Laffontaine, Ray Simmons, llar'.az'a lJ.n1'zip, Lloyd Holloway, Jim Vandervort. BUYS' GLEE The Boys' Glee Club took active parts this year in the Operetta, the music con- tests and festivals, and the Negro Minstrel. They also participated along with the Girls' Glee in the programs for the community. A Boys' Quartet consisting of Norman Ross, Neil Theriault, David Storey and Ray Simmons, which was selected from our group, represented our school in many public appearances. The Boys' Glee has shown a marked improvement over last year's group and gives promise of an even more .nteresting one, next year. Mr. johnson was our director and David Storey was our pianist. GIRLS' GLEE The Girls' Glee Cub was a very popular group this year. lt took part in several performances including the Operetta, College, Days, of which three leading ladies were chosen from the Girls' Glee Club, Two of the best voices from each of the three civisicns, alto, soprano and second soprano were chosen for the Girls' Sextet. The Glee Club almost doubled its enrollment this year, over last year, so we have almost forty-five members now. XYhile along with our work we've had fun, just working together and co-operating with our director, Mr. Johnson. NVe hope that in the years to come we are as suc- cessful in our projects as we were this year and that We may continue to have as large and enthusiastic a group of singers. Page Fourteen

BAND HE Oakville High School Band has increased from twenty-eight members, which was the number of last year's enrollment, to a sixty-piece band. A platform Was put on the stage in order to make a better appearance. Three snare drums, belyre, and two kettle drums were added to our musical instruments. The band has made several outstanding public appearances this year. They played for President Roosevelt in Elma, when he went through that city, and also performed over station KELA. The Cardinals patricipated in the South- West Washington Music Contest in Chehalis, and received a good rating. A brass sextet, and a clarinet quartet were made up of the best members of the organization. Under the direction of hir. Johnson, We hope to increase the number of our band, put on many more outstanding public performances and to have another year as interesting as this one. Page Sixteen
