Commencement Commencement Week, the busiest and brightest of all weeks, lived up to its regular reputation last year. The Junior-Senior Banquet was a good appetizer for the rest of the Commencement activities. The Baccalaureate Sermon was given by Rev. Price of the Christian Church. Class Day Was a grand success. A big chapel was the scene of the reading of the Senior Will, Prophesy, etc., after which field events and a big picnic at the Fair Grounds capped thc climax. A splendid Commencement address was made by President E. Jones of Buena Vista College. The diplomas were awarded by J. M. Little, President of the Board of Directors. The class song gaily sung by the Seniors closed the High School Career of the Class of ,2-1. Class Plays in 1924 And Home Came Ted was presented by the Seniors on May 22 to a record house. The scene of this sparkling little comedy is laid in Rip Van Winkle Inn of Catskill mountain fame. The plot has to do with the struggle between Ted and the unscrupulous adventurer Ira Jones over the f01'Il16I',S furniture fae- tory and the final triumphant success of the hero aided by Mollie the plucky little innkeeper. The character Mi: , Qlater known as Ted j was very well portrayed by George Wallace, while the role of Mollie his close friend fell to Mary Hook. The lot of dishonest Ira Jones was that of Edgar Kemper 's. Mr. Trousdalc directed the production. On the 4th of March the Juniors presented Officer 666 to a Very large and enthusiastic audience. This side splitting comedy is rich with humorous sit- uations as Grladwin the rich young New Yorker discovers the sly thief Wit son in his priceless collection of old paintings. With aid of Officer 666's uni- form, GladWin , captures Wilson just as he is attempting to elope with the former's fiancee, Miss Burton. GladWin found a ready portrayed in the person of Alan Thompson, and Miss Burton no less in Marjorie Webb. Carl Cummings shown brilliantly as Wilson, Miss Durham directed the production. flfigl- . 6 1,4 'wr' ? 11 in li xsane- r -16 . , . idk Page Forty 1 4
