4 JUNIOR CLASS PRESENTS PECK'S BAD BOYH AFTER five Weeks of drilling and so called practice, the Junior Class of Bluffton High School presented on November 29 and 30, Peck's Bad Boy . In this funny, fast-moving farce comedy, Mr. Charles George, the author, portrayed all the lovable Peck characters. Henry Peck, Sr., was quite Uhen-pecked by Mrs. Peck until he discovered that her money Wasn't a reality. The play was built mainly around the mis- chievous trio, Henry Peck, Jr., Jimmy Duffey, his pal, and Minnie, Henry's girl. The rude pranks planned and carried out by these prob- lem children provided most of the excitement in the play and kept the audience in great anxiety and suspense.

This was finally settled when Mr. Jennings, her true lover, Won the hand of Luella. Shultz, the grocer, had connections with the Peck family, either in his love affair with their maid, or in complaining about Henry Peck, Jr's. pranks. This character part in the play supplied many laughs for the audience. Ah's quittin' ah is! was a phrase used again and again by Dahlia, the colored maid, Whenever she became thoroughly disgusted with the tricks pulled by these youngsters. The lovable Harmony Sisters helped to bring the play to its climax.
