Darrell Colbath-Burnett Bragdon On December 16, the three act royalty play, Tattletale , was presented by the Seniors at the Ashland Opera House. For several weeks all our spare time has been devoted to preparation for this production. As the cast comprised the entire Senior Class we were all able to gain considerable knowledge and skill in Dramatics. 'l'he play was amusing. full of pep and fun to rehearse. The lively scene in which was portrayed the hanging of Ermintrude was especially difficult and mirth provoking. Over and over we shouted, DOWN WITH ERMINTRUDEJ' until our performance satisfied our coach. Underclassmen were diverted. the teachers were irantic. still the halls rang with our histrionic efforts. The play was very well received by a capacity audience and as the morning papers recorded no unfavorable criti- cisms we regarded ourselves as accomplished actors. We are all agreed that acting is really enjoyable and provides much valuable experience. l L 1

We welcomed two new members from Milo-loan and Donald Pierce. Donald left school shortly after potato-picking recess. but it is rumored that he plans to return next fall. There was a big change in the class this year. The members all seemed very ambi- tious. To start the year's activities, the class held the first social. It proved to be one of the more successful of the year. To further increase our assets, the class voted to pay individual class dues. Our next financial undertaking was the purchase of different articles on which we sold raffle tickets. The boys secured a tur- key and the girls a bed spread. We did very well on these projects. During the skating season the class sold candy from a small booth beside the rink. This activity was a convenience to the skaters as well as a financial help to the class. The high-light of the year was the Iunior Prom. For this occasion we engaged one of the better orchestras of the county. The hall was decorated in the mood of St. Valen- tine. The event added up to a good crowd and a good time. In April, ten of the members of the Iunior Class will participate in the Prize Speaking Contest to be held at the Congregational Church. The winners will represent the school at the Aroostook Central League Contest at Mapleton.
