SOUTHSIDE HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL Senior Prom lilmira, New York, November Io, 1926 DEAR RUTI-IIE: I am so sorry you were unable to attend the Prom which was held in the gym Friday evening, November 5. liveryone admits that it was one of the prettiest social functions our class, as well as any other class, has ever had. The beautifully decorated room was the scene of gaiety throughout the evening. Curley -Iohnson's new band put the 'Kpep in all of us, especially Slim who ran a regular marathon every dance.

WHICRIC?-In the Southside High School auditorium, or course. NVH ICN ?-May 6-7. VVHO ?-Meet the Youngest, alias Fred llreese! VVe'll guarantee that he will be very clever as the abused youngest in the family. Playing opposite him is Mary Lennon in the role of a sympathetic friend who capably assists our hero out of his difficulties. Next may We pre- sent Martha llinslow, better known as Muff ? Merle Bryan is certainly at ease While interpreting this part. since she is simply her own attractive self. Muffis brother, Mark, is played by Roger Christian. Can you imagine anything more true to life than Red as a teasing elder brother? Next we should like the pleasure of introducing Esther Mack as Augusta W'inslow Martin, the very sarcastic married sister. Albert Fudge will play the part of Augusta's husband, Allan. Both of the characters are difficult, but we are assured that they will be capably interpreted. The last tvvo members of the Winslow X family are the aristocratic Mrs. Xkfinslou' and her reserved son Oliver. ' who will be portrayed by .Katrine Campbell and George Mertz. Beatrice Thomas will be the very petite maid, Katie. This yearls play is certain of unusual success, since the whole production is under the direction of Miss Callahan, instructor in drama and public speaking. Miss Callahan is putting her greatest efforts into making f'The Youngest one of the best plays lilmirans have had offered them. A great deal of the success of this affair will also be due to Homer Northrup and his capable staff of assistants. age 32
