Peevy, Monte's mother-in-law- - - - - -Geraldine Thiele The entire play takes place in the living room of Miss Elvira Hunnicutt's country house near New York. Miss Hunnicutt is a sharp-spoken, intelligent-looking woman who is very rich and makes everyone happy at the end of the play. Perky is a servant and her manner toward her employer is free and outspoken, as if she were a privileged member of the household. Curtis is her nephew whom she raised as a child. Saule is her secretary who wanted to help her neighbor and spent all her money on herself instead. She had to borrow some from Curtis to help her neighbor. Monte and Susan are a comedy team. Mrs. Peevy is Susan's mother who comes to take Susan homo with her because she thinks Monte can't support her. She is surprised whon Monte pays back all the money she had spent on them. Mrs. Hunnicutt decides to give everyone ten thousand dollars instead of waiting until she dies so she will have some fun out of it herself. Her terms are that thoy must spend it all in twonty-four hours or return what is left to her. She has concealed a dictaphone in the living room so she can hear what her relatives think of her. Everyone is surprised at what ho hears, and still more surprised when she says she is still going to give them the money. The climax comes in the third act when everyone comes back to report on his spending. The play comes to a happy ending when Ruth and Edward and Curtis and Beatrice find comfort in each other. A rollicking interact was given by fourteen members of the senior class. Presented by Luclla Cooney with the assistance of the entire play cast, it portrayed a day from the life of a backwoods mountaineer family. It was rich with slapstick humor.

Late in the second quarter Marvin Wegner caught a long pass and took it over the goal lin® without anyone touching him. Bancroft scored again Just before the half on a short pass to Herbert Rep. The half ended 15-0 with Bancroft leading. In the second half Marvin Wegner and Marvin Repschlaeger each collected a touchdown. Scribner scored their only touchdown in the fourth quarter on an end run. This was the first game of the season for both teams. Bancroft tripped Wayne Prep 7-0 the first home game of the season. After three scoreless quarters Marvin Repschlaeger plunged for a touchdown and Marvin Wegner added the extra point on another line buck. Bancroft Journeyed to Emerson for the first conference game and squeezed through to a 6-0 win. After two touchdowns were called back by penalties, Marvin Wegner recovered a fumble and ran 15 yards for the games only score. Bancroft romped North Bend with Herbert Repschlaeger, Marvin Repschlaeger and Marvin Wegner starring. Herbert R. made one of the touchdowns by returning a punt about 60 yards. Marvin Repschlaeger made two by brilliant running on his part and excellent blocking by the remaining five. Marvin Wegner made his three touchdowns by a line buck and by catching two passes. The remaining points were made by Marvin Repschlaeger and his educated toe. All of Bancrofts. 20 boys played and still North Bend was unable to score although they threatened in the final minutes of the game. With the clever defensive playing of Rockne Copple, North Bend's plays were unable to work correctly. Hooper routed Bancroft 45-0 for the first Bulldog defeat in two years, and stopped Bancroft's winning streak at 19 games. Larry Scheissler ran for six touchdowns and passed for another from a baffling spread formation. Bob Tighe received a crushed wrist which kept him out of action for the rest of the season. Bancroft won over Winnebago 18-12. In the early minutes of the game Bancroft took advantage of a bad punt and scored a touchdown. The extra point was missed. Winnebago's Soloman scored the first touchdown on a clever 15 yard end sweep. The extra point was also missed. Late in the second quarter Wegner tooka 35 yard pass from Bargmann and went over standing up. The halftime score was 12-6, Bancroft leading. In the third quarter Winnebago was forced to kick. Sorensen took the ball at mid-field and went streaking up the sideline till he reached pay dirt. Winnebago threatened in the fourth quarter but was unable to score. Leigh trampled Bancroft 36-13 in a game in which Bancroft was unabletfi get going. An excellent passing attack and a fast charging line paved the way for the first Leigh victory in the 4 year old series. Bancroft defeated Macy 28-6 in the seasons final game. Merle Bargmann ran for one touchdown and passed to Tietz for another to lead Bancroft to the victory and clinch the third consecutive Logan_Valley Conference Title for Bancroft.

COLOR DAY The entire high school was bubbling over with anticipation on Dec. 15 Bright and early students were seen rambling through the halls dressed in orange and black. Prizes were to be given to those who had the best costumes in the colors of Bancroft. Those who didn't were forced to pay a penalty. The penalty was a huge orange bow placed on their hair, clothes put on backwards, and shoes worn on the wrong feet. Obviously Fred Hofeldt didn't consider this enough because he also wore his trousers backwards. Larry KJeldgaard cut quite a swath dressed as a cheerleader in orange and black. We never realized Larry had such beautiful legs. Imogens Burhoop created a sensation when she came In an orange grass skirt and a black bolero. Virginia Shemat was complimented on her original Idea of a black dress with Bancroft written on it in huge orange letters. Kay Schwed-helm did a little advertising on the side. He had an orange and black signboard strapped on his shoulders with Bancroft written on It. The evening held an even greater thrill, for it was at the half of the Scribner-Bancroft game that the queen was to be revealed. The secret had been kept and the identity of the queen was a complete mystery. The gym was decorated in traditional orange and black. Huge signs were hung on the walls and an enormous throne was constructed of orange and black crepe paper. A buzz of anticipation went through the crowd as the winner's of the best costumes were announced and the prizes awarded as follows: Larry KJeldgaard first, Kay Schwedhelm second, Imogene Burhoop first and Virginia Shemat second. A hasty craning of necks and a tense moment I Here comes the queen 1 And Her Majesty, Dorothea Harms entered on the arm of Jack Shemat, President of the Senior Class. The queen was dressed in a dusty rose formal. Following her in attendance were: Junior-Imogene Burhoop, Sophomore-Joyce Dirkschneider, Freshman-Peggy Buchholz. A solomn moment was felt when Her Majesty knelt at the foot of the throne and Jack placed the crown, token of royal homage, on her head. The queen was presented with a lovely corsage of white carnations. Her attendants wore corsages of baby mums. SCHOOL DANCES As a grand climax to Color Day a Victory Dance, sponsored by the Pep Club, was held in the gym. The queen and her attendants led the first dance. Music was furnished by a phonograph and records. The last dance was a grand march led by the Queen. Lunch was served at a late hour by the Pep Club. Several times during the past year the students have been permitted to view an educational movie and to dance afterwards. On these occasslons music was furnished by records of name bands. These dance3 are greatly enjoyed by the students and we sincerely hope that they may continue since dancing is a social art that can be enjoyed by everyone.
