SENIOR PLAY CAST “Full of Youth Is a summer hotel drama of the present time, presented in three acts by five male and nine female characters. A local real estate dealer, Ira Grubb seems overly anxious to secure this resort because of certain knowledge he possesses concerning its valuable mineral water. An element of youthful romance is interwoven throughout by the Gordan’s. Jerry and Junior and their wife and wife-to-be. How’ever, even Junior’s father feels the effect of the summer moonlight and chooses a life partner. Of course the spinster. Miss Patch, at the end assures the audience that she will take care of Ira and his hotel. The selection of a play and the casting of fourteen characters is not an easy undertaking, but Mr. Elmer Willard, assisted by Principal Louis R. Rosettie and Mrs. May T. Blackman, accom- plished both rather well. The Cast was Mrs. Baynes, owner of The Jolly Inn ............................. Dorothy Robinson Sonny Baynes, her son ...............

Athletics The annual foul shooting contest for girls and boys was held in March in the gymnasium. Ivan Eaton was the winner for the boys while Mar- garet Lafferty was best for the girls. The win- ners of this contest received one credit toward the Cumulative Letter. Three letter-men of last year—Charles Keech. Karl Hoxie. and Wallace Mason—were again on the varsity basketball team, supported by LaRue Cook. Ivan Eaton. Paul Cook. Ted Lester. Arthur Cleveland. Alton Monagle. Glen Milliman and Lester Keech. Only three league losses were marked against this year’s quintet while there were eleven games won. Contests with other-than- league teams were also played: one alumni, two with Bol.var and one with Limestone. The Brownmen” started the soccer season with Hoxie. Keech. Cook and Babcock back from last year. The first game played against the strong Friendship team resulted in a 1-0 victory for the opponents. In the second encounter the Belfast “Red and White” took a game on a wet and muddy field. The third and fourth games were repetitions of the first two with our boys putting forth every effort possible, yet unable to get far against their strong opponents. In the last game with Angelica, the “Purple and Grey” turned the tables and come out with a 1-1 tie. As was customary, boys from the Varsity were selected to “coach” the Noon Hour Basketball leagues. Karl Hoxie. Ivan Eaton. Charles Keech. and Wallace Mason were given this task. Each team was given a name and a schedule made up. by which the games were to be played. As the games w'ere played off. a record was kept of the rating of each team. The league w as played in two halves and at the end of the second half the two winning teams played for the cham- pionship. The girls were also given teams, with Myrtle Bradford. Ruth Strickland. Eleanor Lang, and Queenie Chester as captains. Tire winners— Chester captained the girl winners and Keech the boys.
