They are mad all right, mad about money and the way they spend Grandfather's fortune is a scream. Mrs. March. who was once a Shakespearean actress, cannot forget her great day in the theatre and has named her children, Hamlet, Rosalind and Cordelia. Cordelia who is sixteen, has just been expelled from school. Rosalind, age twenty-one, is engaged to marry an intelligent, young lawyer but is carrying on a flirtation with the family chauffeur. Hamlet, the oldest, has developed into New York's Number One Glamour boy. The other member of the family is Aunt Henrietta, a dashing young widow who has been flitting around Europe for years until forced home by the war. All of them are waiting for Grandfather to die, expecting to inherit millions in his will. The day he sends for his lawyer, the whole family is excited. But when the lawyer arrives, he brings his young stenographer, lane Kenning. Grandfather takes a strange liking to lane-her practical common sense is in strange contrast to the giddiness of his family-and he offers her a position: she's to come there to live and help him handle his family. lane accepts. Naturally she's resented. and when Rosalind has to give up her room to the ursurper, her anger has no limits. At first Grandfather gives lane charge of the family's spending money, and that causes tireworlrs. Then he turns over his entire fortune to her, much against her will. Before she can turn it back, Grandfather disappears and she is left sole heir to the March's fortune. The play is a gay one, and it bubbles with laughter. We recommend it highly. Domino Hnnnwsv.

The boys' team had scheduled 12 games for the high school year of 1948-1947. Their first game was played with and at Cambridge High School on December 13, 1946 and we lost the game by a score of 23 to 41. The second game was played in St. Michaels High School with the St. Michaels Athletic Club. It was a very close game all oi the way through and had everyone on the edge of their chairs. The scores at the quarters were as follows. High School 12 to Athletic Club 13, High School 13 to Athletic Club 23, High School 26 to Athletic Club 32, and in the last quarter, High School 42 to Athletic Club 39, Trippe putting in 16 of the points and Regan 18. On Ianuary 13 the return game was played with Cambridge High School. This game was also very close until the last quarter. The scores by quarters ran as follows: St. Michaels High 7 to Cambridge High 6, St. Michaels High 13 to Cambridge 10. St. Michaels High 15 to Cambridge High 16 and finally Cambridge High School 35 to St. Michaels 21. Trippe making high score of 9 points. The next game was at East New Market High School on .,,..................,...,..............,...,.. . In this game 13 of the squads' boys had an opportunity to participate. The final score was East New Market High School 13 to St. Michaels High School 36. On Ianuary 21 we played Sudlersville High in our school auditorium and were victorious with a score of 39 to 29. The first game with Easton was played at St. Michaels High School. The boys on the St. Michaels' squad who got to play were Walton Regan, Richard Trippe, Charles Leubecke, Robert Cole, Bill Mothershead, Bobby Caulk, Bill Brink and Dick Hamill. Our iinal score was 38. seventeen of which were made by Walton Regan and sixteen by Richard Trippe. But Easton was victorious with 44 points. These were the scores of some of the games which St. Michaels High School has participated. After playing our last scheduled game we went to Hurlock to play Vienna High in the Class D playoffs. The game was very interesting and close score all the way through. In the last 15 seconds of the game Vienna made the winning basket and we lost the game by one point. We feel that the 1947 basketball season was very successful and we are very confident that next year's team will make as good a showing for St. Michaels High School in the 1948 basketball season. In the games played by taking the final number of points made by all our opponents and adding them and then by taking the final number of points secured by our team and adding them, we find that St. Michaels High School would have around 269 points and all our opponents 289. We have not tried to write a description of each game but to give more of a general glance toward the whole season's playing Page 28 3 EJ YE Chg gfllgpgf E5E52525E5i535g .-:-:': 1 3352?fixizfggigfgigi Ecwafgaf gfie A E Q me 'WN - Nm Ni xkiffa K L x Yi , X.

Although four years had passed, the former coach, Mr. Thoman Fleming. again assumed the duties of coach. The team lost several games but gained experience during every contest. 1947 finds many of our former stars gone, but the squad is still backed by such fine players as Walton Regan. Donald Haddaway. Robert Caulk, Richard Trippe. and Tommy Tucker. 1947 also finds our squad with a new coach. Mr. Russell. as well as many new and eager players. The Saints are looking forward to a winning season this spring against such competition as Easton. Cam- bridge, and Stevensville.

Today for the first time in about ten years. we made a trip to St. Michaels. and upon arrival, I decided to look up some of my previous classmates. I hired a taxi at the landing field, Ted Reeser, the cab driver, took me into town. I had written to my dear friend. Mrs. Denny Cnee Lee Brittinghamj that I would be in town, but she was unable to meet me because he had a special assignment in Washington to make for one of the town's leading businessmen, Benjamin Phillips. Aside from Lee being a successful business woman, a loving wife. and a proud mother, she has managed to do some modeling in her spare time. Since I had arrived so early, I went into a nearby restaurant for a bite of breakfast before going visiting. Lillian Hall waited on me, and from her I collected the local news. I found that the proprietor was Ioseph Radcliffe, and he had recently married Doris Fairbanks. I was not surprised to find that several of my other friends, Kathaleen Murphy, Elnora Burroughs, and Patsy Faulkner were married too. Patsy is the proud mother of the first quintuplets ever born in St. Michaels. After breakfast. I walked on quite a distance. and found the local printing press called, The St. Michaels Review. I entered, and was greeted by the editor, Thomas Morris. Since I had worked with him on the school Patrol. I wanted him to show me his accomplishments on a paper of his own. He told me he was too busy at the time. but instructed me to go to the twenty-first floor, and there I would find Thomas Iones who would take me on through the building. While I was talking with him, lean Roe came in with a very interesting flash. She told us that Boozy's Beanery has just been raided, and Boozy was nowhere to be found. I was very pleased when I left the building. and then I looked across the street and saw the cutest little store called, Roe's Tip to Beauty, which was owned by my ambitious chum, Marian Roe Qnee Soulsmanj. I went in, but Marian was too busy giving someone a pedicure to have time to talk with me. I left, but hadn't gone far when I saw a man peddling from door to door. As I went past, I recognized him as Donald Hadaway. and he had his foot in the door telling the woman that she looked half dead and should buy some insurance. From the look on the lady's face, I'd say Donny better buy a few life insurance policies himself. It occurred to me that all this time I had been carrying my luggage, so I went in search of a hotel. I had only gone a few blocks when I saw one called The Little Roy, and I knew right away that it must be owned by Roy Cummings. I went to the desk. and the desk clerk was leaning on his desk sound asleep. I finally got him awake Cwith the assistance of a little waterj and saw it was Robert Cole. He gave me the key to my room, and before I had time to say Thank You, he again was deep in the arms of Morpheus. The bellboy was Charles Fairbanks, and from him I learned that there was a special service at my church at seven o'clock. I hurried, because I was thrilled to think that after all these years, I would be able to attend a service in St. Michaels. I heard one of the best services I have heard for many years. I couldn't get over the fact that Rev. Hilditch has progressed so. I remember back in our school days how serious he was about becoming a preacher. Thinking about school. it struck me that I didn't visit school during the day at all. I decided to catch the bus on the corner. and retire early so I could get up bright and early the next day. I stepped into the bus. and all but fell out again when I saw Dick Trippe at the wheel. At first he didn't recognize me and shouted for me to move to the back of the bus or get out. He did remember me, however, and he talked so much, that I forgot to get off, and went four blocks past my hotel. When I got off, I turned by ankle, but I noticed a doctor's office right across the street. I hobbled over. but to my disappointment the doctor was out! I started to leave, but his nurse, Mary Margaret Marshall, came out of his office and told me she would strap it for me. I called a taxi from the office, and noticed the Telephone Company had at last installed the dial system. The next day, I woke up rather excited to think that I was going to see my dear old Alma Mater once again. I passed a local bank, and realized that I was running short of cash and should go in and cash a check. For a while I was a little leary that maybe no one would recognize me, and I may have a little trouble getting it cashed right away. But I was very relieved to find Ieannette Radcliffe working there. I looked in the corner, and saw that Margaret lane Iones had succeeded in getting the position she wanted as bookkeeper. I saw a wedding band on both the girls' fingers, but didn't have time to get on the subject of marriage. I left after a brief chat, and was soon on my way to school. Classes were in session when I arrived, so I didn't see many of the students except those who were bagging class. I heard some noise in one of the class rooms, and I curiously poked my head in the door to see what was going on. There was Martha Henry teaching an English class of two hundred. She was telling them how they got on her nerves. poor Martha. I was anxious to go in and talk with her, but I realized she had a problem class and didn't have time to do any reminiscing with me. I couldn't help but remember one of my English classes. Oh dear! lt's a wonder our whole class didn't leave with scars. I went down the escalator to the auditorium, and found Robert Caulk conducting a Physical Education class, and telling them how the basketball games were won in 1947. When the boys saw me they screamed. so I scurried out of the gym. CI hope the fact that I am of the female sex was the only reason for their yelling.j I glanced at my watch. It was eleven o'clock and my plane was leaving at eleven-thirty, so I hurried to the airport. On the way I couldn't help smiling and feeling proud that I was a member of the class of '47, a group who became useful citizens. Although my job takes me around. I can't think of a city I've seen yet that has progressed as much as St. Michaels. Iosu CAULK. Page 37 enior Cfadd Elnora Burrows-wills her calm and quiet ways to Grace Haddaway.
