OPERETTA TOP ROW—Cecil Clifford, Howard Shafer, Thomas Tichenor, Robert Wilkinson and Chester Werry. SECOND ROW—Miss Simpson, Glen Robinson, Lionel Koehler and James Wilkinson BOTTOM ROW—Wilma Coleman, Mabel Boudinot, Ruth Hullett, Evelyn Moffett, Lucile Carnahan, Matty Vincent and Mabel Hale. The operetta, “Once in a Blue Moon,” presented by the music department of Boonville High School under the able supervision of Miss Simpson, proved a splendid success. The beautiful setting carried the audience to California, the land of sunshine and flowers. James Wilkinson as George Taylor falls in love with Sylvia Montgom- ery, the fiancee of his college room-mate whom he is impersonating. The part of Sylvia Montgomery was taken by Miss Mabel Boudinot. Complications arise when George is falsely accused of robbing the Montgomery’s safe. After the discovery of the real robbers, George and Sylvia leave on their honeymoon. The characters were well supported by a large chorus composed of members of the Girls’ Glee Club. Page Thirty

 mm DEBATE TOP ROW—Daniel Campbell and Starlin Ryan SECOND ROW—Charles Ashley, Miss McKown, Miss Garrison and Lionel Koehler BOTTOM ROW—Mabel Boudinot, Evelyn Moffett, Ruth Hullett and Mildred Ruble Affirmative Team — Mabel Boudinot, Starlin Ryan, Charles Ashley; alternate, Evelyn Moffett. Negative Team—Ruth Hullett, Daniel Campbell, Mildred Ruble; alternate, Lionel Koehler. Bang! And old B. H. S. turns out another winning team. Hats off to the de- bating team which turned in a record of three wins and only one defeat. Boonville defeated Mt. Vernon, Princeton and Reitz and lost to Bosse. This was a somewhat new activity in B. H. S. Miss McKown, the coach of the teams, proved herself more than worthy of her position. She was ably assisted by Miss Garrison. The team also deserves much praise for their long hours of hard study which resulted in upholding the honor of B. H. S. in the field of debating and public speaking. Here’s to the debating teams of the future—may they cultivate the same spirit that the teams of 1927 have shown. Page Thirty-two
