Go! And never darken our door again, shouts father Tim Reed at heroine Elaine Neilson. Sally Buck and Betty Lou Ackerman are frightened and astounded. Queenie lay Myers is censured by Scrimmy, Secontine and Goodrich in the faculty's hilarious act in the show, Ed Matus, Lee Hanson and Pete Little render a bit of close harmony during the intermission. A Bit o'f!1e 90? Gold in the Hills. or The Dead Sisters Secret, was this year's show presented for the Washington Group. It was a typical old time melodrama with the beautiful, sweet, young heroine, portrayed by Elaine Neilson: the shrewd, evil villain, Grover Farnsworth: and of course, last but not least, our hero, North Carey. Others of the cast were Father, Tim Reed, Barbara, the sister, Betty Lou Ackerman: Lizzie, the housekeeper, Sally Bucky and Slade, the villain's right hand man, who turned out to be none other than Hawkshaw, the detective, Conrad Burk- man. The show itself contained some very entertaining variety numbers presented during the Bowery scene. Will we ever forget how the men of the faculty came through with their rendition of She's More To Be Pitied Than Censuxed? In keeping with the theme of the play, the audi- torium was dressed in the best to represent the well known Bowery, including the waiters with their long, white aprons and big, black cigars. This show was a smash hit, made possible by the hard work and tireless effort of Miss Ruth Hull and her assistants, Miss Ianet Bainbridge, Miss Lydia Habib, Miss Ioan Meyer, Mrs. Margaret Henderson, H. Ross Scrim- Qeour, and E. A. Hubbard. -Sally Buck
