JUNIOR SENIOR PLAY After much consideration, “Leave it to Grandma,” Vincent Lindsay's hilarious comedy, was picked as being the plot best adaptable to our classes, stage and time schedule. The cast included all members of the Junior-Senior classes and two necessary extras—Betty Lou Goodill and Dale Schilling—who were chosen by vote of the upperclassmen. After three busy weeks of practice, the cast was more than rewarded by the tremendous reception given the play when presented November 19. Genuine praisf was given to all the cast. Special commendation was given Dick Reed and Catherine Fiedor for their especially lengthy parts and to Arnold Tschirgi who provided many a laugh that wasn’t in the lines. We venture to say that as you reread these lines forty years from now that Julia’s “Oh. lawsy,” Grand- ma's glasses. Dale’s tired walk and The Brat’s “yah-yah will still be vivid scenes in your mind! The plot was sufficiently balanced to permit a rather equal showing of talents. However, it starred “Grandma.” as portrayed by Roberta Goodill. who managed to fix everything—except that “Brat”— for her favorite nephew. Cliff Dick Reed) and his young wife. Mary (Catherine Fiedor) whose last lines keynoted the tempo of the play: “That’s wonderful. Everything’s wonderful!” The cast was as follows: Grandma, the annual vis tor. Roberta Goodill: Cliff and Mary Dunstan, newly- weds. Dick Reed and Catherine Fiedor; Virginia. Mary’s sister. Kathleen Sperl; John Parker and Jerry Cun- ningham. two young suitors. Bob McStay and Dick Kramer: George Grant, wealthy land owner and his daughter. Joyce. Arnold Tschirgi and Betty Lou Goodill: Patsy. “The Brat.” Helen Kukuchka: and Eliza, the maid: and her boy friend. Henry. Julia Mae Cable and Dale Schilling. Between acts one and two the Ranchester Rhythm Band made their debut to an appreciative and de- lighted audience. Between acts two and three David Hallowell presented his original musical reading. “Ferdinand the Bull.” The most memorable and unscheduled happening occurred when Dick Kramer, representing the cast, presented the director with a beautiful shirt in appreciation of his extra time spent and suggestions made that helped make the play a success. This was followed by presentation of another gift—a tie to match the shirt —from the Rhythm Band. Their spokesman was Gary Kramer who said . . we give you this because we like you very much.’’ “I have sponsored many plays in my teaching experience and even the most spectacular ended with a sigh cf relief. This year’s play will go down as an experience strengthening the bonds of friendships among all who participated in its preparation. The gifts and th? kind words that accompanied them represent much more than a tie and a shirt. In the minds of all who were present they represented symbols of the finest kind of good will of which a school can boast. They came as a complete surprise to the director and did net represent the duty of precedence nor “good form” but. stand out as another example of the friendly relations that exist between teachers and pupils. —John McCormick. OFFICE PRACTICE CLASS Ranchester High School offered a new course this year to students who had previously had shorthand and typing: this course is office practice. Members of the class are: Helen Kukuchka. Catherine Fiedor, Kathleen Sperl. and Roberta Goodill. In addition to improving their skill in typing and shorthand, the girls have served as secretaries to the various teachers, writing much actual correspondence for them. This class not only forms the back- bone for production of the “Rustler” which is publi: hed each six weeks, but does much ditto and mimeo- graph work for school and community. During the first semester, the girls duplicated 3665 copies, ranging from post card advertisement of the Women’s Club bazaar and cards for the Rotary Christmas dinner, to word lists for the primary grades, and football booster tickets. Because the class is small and the girls are diligent, congenial, and of near-equal ability, the activities cf the class have been varied considerably from theusual course in secretarial training. Personality de- velopment. good grooming, business etiquette, individual needs in functional grammar and business Eng- lish. vocations—these have been among the topics studied and discussed. Especially interesting wras the period devoted to civil service tests and positions and the helpful talk given by Mrs. Helen Murdock, a graduate of RHS and a former civil service employee. A film relating to telephone courtesy wras very in- formative. In October the girls visited Western Union and each wras permitted to operate the teletype. At the office of the Big Horn Construction Company, each used a dictaphone, saw the operation of a switch- board. a liquid process Ditto, a check protector, and observed various time-saver forms. During their visit to the Court House, demonstrations were given of an addressograph by the County Assessor, and of a photostatic machine by the County Clerk. In the County Superintendent’s office the girls examined equipment and secretarial supplies they had seen pictured in their texts. The girls then separated to scend a two-hour observation period in various offices, and later reported to the class the interesting incidents. The girls felt that their most interesting trip was w'hen they spent one afternoon in the Carnegie Library looking through business reference books and learning, in general, how to use a library. This is valuable information for any person to know'. The girls all agree that office practice is one of the mefct enjoyable subjects taught in the year of “49.” 24
