The play concerned the mixed-up relations resulting when a widow with three children married a widower with twn children. The marriage was opposed hy the households of hoth principals because each thought that the other was a mercen- ary group and was only after the money of the other. Highlv humorous difficulties arise from the efforts of all the children to hreak up the marriage, However, as all good comedies do, misunderstandings are eventually cleared up and they all lived happily ever after. Miss Margaret Trevctt, who directed this play, deserves commendation for the wise choice of cast and the very cred- itable manner in which the play was presented. Mildred Minor was student director and Beulah MCFate was property manager. Credit should be given to Miss Miller and Miss Sturm, who helped with make-up, and to Mr. Vanderlinden for his assistance back-stage.

The entire group numbers about -L0 girls, which for contest purposes had to be cut to a group of 28. The activities of the club included singing for many school functions, out- standing of these was the Dedication program on March 21, and the Commence- ment exercises on June 1. The success of this year's group is largely due to the capable direction of Bliss llargarct Sherman, the music instructor in the Tama Schools. Her work during the past three years has been directed toward building up tl1e music groups in the High School, and the results of her careful, patient work are becoming evi- dent this year. The Girls' Glce Club won a superior rating in the Sub-District Music Con- test at Vinton on March 25. Other superior', ratings reflecting credit on the Girls' Glee Club are: The Girls' Sextet, composed of .lanet Sweazey, lladalyn Vobornik, Catherine Power, Roberta Lauderdale, Vliilma Shope and Louise Crumb, in the mezzo-soprano class, Roberta Lauderdaleg and in the alto solo class, Louise Crumb.

GIRL-SHY WITH unusual suitability, the Senior play this spring was Girl-Shy, for the play deals with school commencement-time. Supposed to be a woman-hater, Tom Arsdale was about to be graduated from Col- lege. He heard that Babs Sanford was set on meeting him, and being girl-shy he didnlt know what to do. Babs traded places with the chambcremaid. Tom's father came for Commencement with his choice of a girl, and a merry mix-up was on. Oke, Tom's room-mate, furnished contrast for he has been faithful to more girls, one after another, than any man in college. Character parts in abundance enlivened the play, and made it one of the best that a Senior Class had ever presented. This was the first Commencement play to be given in the New Auditorium, and was well received by an enthusiastic audience. To Miss Bond, for excellent casting and direction, and to each member of the cast and crew, goes the highest praise for the success of the play.
