MONKEY SHINE PROGRAM Sometimes even Senior High School young ladies and gentlemen get down off their dignity and condescend even to having some fun. They did so Wednesday night, Feb. 14 at their box, pie and valentine social at the auditorium, and gave their audience a regular monkey shine program. The first number was a trio of classical selections by the Sum Phony Orkestray, the chief attraction of which, in spite of the entrancingness of the music, was the leader, Charley Chaplin, whose grace of action and complete control of the great musical company was a sight. Anybody who ever saw the great comedian on the screen would have known instantly that this was he. Cllater it was learned that the leader was Don Russell, greatly to the surprise of everyone. Don has a future before him-it could not be elsewhere--and we are not saying what it is.-Ed.J The farce, What Rosie Told the Tailor, would have been grand if the cast had not all forgotten their parts. fPerry Mason found the lines lying on the stage table, so he did not forget his part only when he lost the place.J The others re- called their parts promptly when he prompted them and they were allowed to think a while. They finally got done with the thing. Miss Mabelle Watson executed that old time classic, 'fTwinkle, Twinkle, Little Heavenly Body, impersonating a professor, a sweet girl graduate, the bashful little boy, and ,frightened little girl, each reading the great oration, and ran from the stage exhausted and in tears at the conclusion, squal- ling as if her little gizzard would burst. It was heart-rending. Miss Watson, too has a future. We understand it is to be this spring? Misses Dorothy Moore and Thelma Ireland worked on the sympathies of the audience by a soulful rendition of the clas- sic vocal duet, MHP May Be Your Man, But He Sometimes Comes to See Me, Too, or something ofthat kind which would have been fine if they had not been obliged at frequent inter- vals, especially at climaces, to go look up their music rolls and X

THE JUNIGR-SENIOR BANQUET The first of the 1923 B. H. S. commencement features, the Junior-Senior banquet, Friday evening April, 27 at the high school building was the usual brilliant success, the program being carried out exactly as printed, the banquet room being beautifully decorated in the Senior class colors, blue and gold, and the menu showing most excellent culinary ability and taste. Theodore Lamb, as toastmaster, in his droll, inborn good humor, did his part Well in keeping the company in a laughing mood. George Teays acquitted himself in good style in spinning some good jokes so Well that the laughter was uproarious for a while. The welcome to the Seniors was given by Genevieve Noble and responded to by Thelma Ireland, in fitting and well-delivered little talks. Dorothy Moore, speaking on What the School Expects of a Senior, and William Low on What the World Expects of a Senior, both spoke Well and gave some really practical advice as well as some good natured little personal jibes. Don Russell in the Seniors' Farewell, made a good little talk, short and characteristic of Don, superfluous gas be- ing conspicuous by its absence. Speaking to the toast Mud and Stars, Supt. Potter re- marked that in all his experience in high school banquets, he had never heard a superior, perhaps an equally good program. His very fine little address was doubly appreciated by his pu- pils as they hold him in the very highest regard. The closing number was fifteen raWs for the Seniors, same for the Juniors, same for Miss Gardner, who was chief among the promulgators of the very pleasant event. Every member of both classes and all the high school faculty and Mr. Clyde Hammons were present to enjoy the event. -Bronson Pilot.

Hnd out what came next in the song. But they brot down the house-with sympathy. The duet, Mr. Gallagher and Mr. Shean, by Dr. Dorwin Wright and Detective Perry Mason was wonderful-that is it kept the audience filled with wonder as to what it was all about. Their voices are remarkable. A real piece of art was thc Hgipsy joy dance, performed by Miss Emma Long, with pleasing grace and wonderful ease. Remarks heard from the audience were to the effect that few if any had ever seen more grace and beauty in a simple little scarf dance even when done by professionals. , Col. Rayman Harlan then kept the audience laughing and in good buying mood, by his quaint humor, while he auction- ed off the eats for more than half a hundred dollars. -Bronson Pilot. Q What a good prophet the Pilot is--Mabel became Mrs. Roy Nichols the day before commencement!-Ed.J SENIOR PICNIC The following Seniors, accompanied by Mrs. G. E. Norton, Miss Cosby and Prof. Butters as chaperones, enjoyed camping at Bandera Friday night and Saturday, May 11 and 12: Misses Dorothy Moore, Thelma Ireland, Sylvia Holeman and Mona Clemmings, Messers Donald Russell, Kenneth Ross, Arthur Low, Perry Mason and Dorwin Wright. Among some of the exciting occurrences were: jumping off a moving train, killing a seven foot black snake, cooking duck for supper, trying to make one fish serve as a meal for twelve people, the girls always forgetting to wash the skillets, falling out of swings. listening to accordian music by moon- light, and learning how to row a boat. We won't mention the name of the particular person in each case but leave that to be surmised. All returned happy but fatigued. -Bronson Pilot
