Speeclcrs are Jolly -lypists, H-the Youngest!! ls Speech play Come on, roll those peanuts. I think I'm going to win. And she did. Betty Brenz won the peanut rolling contest at the Speeders party in January for the initiation of new members. The goal of every typing student, Speeders Club, was under the direction of Miss Daisy Matney, typing instructor. Require- ments for the club are that Hrst year typing students must write 40 words a minute the first semester, and 45 words a minute the second semester. Second year typing students must write 50 words a minute, and all are required to have 85 per cent accur- acy. The club meets the first, thi1'd, and fifth week of every six weeks on Tuesday evening. Officers a1'e chosen every six weeks by means of a speed test. The one making the highest score in speed plus accuracy is the president, next highest vice-president. and third highest secretary and treasurer. First six weeks officers were Merna Wright, president, Alice Lewis, vice-president, Jessie Wright, secretary and treas- urer. Second semester officers were Alice Lewis, president, Mer- na Wright, vice-president, Genevieve Wright, secretary and treasurer, Virginia Day, Ark Light reporter. 'Twas Friday the 13th, but the play must go on--so the public speaking class, defying the fates, presented The Young- est by Philip Barrie as their annual speech play. The Youngest is, as the title implies. centered around the ambitions of the youngest son, Richard, of the wealthy but dominating Winslow family. He wished to pursue a literary career but his elder brother, Oliver, who holds the strings to the family purse, is very opposed to his ambition. He and Mark, the teasing brother, can not understand why Richard is not willing to work as they do in the pin factory left to them by their father. His mother and his married sister, Agusta, agree with his bro- thers, but his younger sister, Muff, and Allan, his brother-in-law feel that Richard has a right to choose his own life. These sentiments are echoed by Nancy Blake, a friend visit- ing Muff. She makes a bet with Muff that she can arouse Richard to dominate his family in a week. Muff readily takes her up on it, and there follows general family revolution. Richard makes his own terms, to which his family are only too ready to agree, and wins the fair Nancy. The leading roles were taken by Virginia Day HS NHUCY, and Jack Hall as Richard. John Tufts portrayed Oliver, the elder brother, Douglas More played the part of Mark, the smart aleckg Alice Newman took the part of Muff, the fun-loving younger sister, Lucille Sharpe played Augusta, the bored, married sister, Alan, her husband, was played by Willis Payton, Doris Treaclway portrayed Mrs. Winslow, mother of this odd brood. Kathleen Piisterer played Katie, the maid. The play was directed by J. D. Davis, public speaking in- structor. Bob lVlcClanahan and Bob Faulconer were business managers and Helen Dor1'ance and Will Etta Long were property managers. PAGE 22 li ETTY M ATT!-I EWS General- ,l'c-p Club.
