The current officers are Jerry Smith, president; Eileen Titlow, vice-president; and Susie Denny, secretary-treasurer. The sponsor is Mr. Moon.

HA VE FUN TR Y ACTING THE CHRISTMAS PLAY Home for Christmas by Lloyd C. Douglas, one of the most outstanding Christmas plays ever written, was the two-act holiday comedy given by Scarlet and Purple. The cast gave three performances — for the public on December 18, and for the high school and the junior high school on December 19. The play tells the story of the Claytons, a family scattered all around the country. Their old mother, living in the dilapidated family home, has a heart con- dition; and this could, possibly, be her last Chrismas. One of the daughters forces the other two children to come home for Christmas. They turn back the clock to the time when they were young. All of them dis- cover what Christmas should really be.
