Marjorie Wirth Everyone will remember Judy the negro cook, and also the horse race. The Community Orchestra furnished us with some excellent music. john Barnett entertained between acts. We had a large crowd, and the money will help us very much in our last year of school. CIRCUS We sold the papers published by the Curtis Publishing Company again this year. There were two sides, the Red and the Green. The Reds won. The symbols were a Lion and a Lamb. The losers had to give the winners a Circus. We had every kind of an animal: we even had bare back riders. Everyone certainly had a good time, but some had a few bruises when they got home. Refreshments were served. Besides the fun we received from it, we got some money with which to buy some new books for our library. As soon as the new books came, the students did a lot of reading, but not on their lessons. CHRISTMAS PARTY Mr. and Mrs. Forster entertained the faculty at a real Christmas dinner December nineteenth. After dinner Santa Claus came and the teachers re- ceived many gifts. Mrs. Troyer seemed to get the largest package. THE SENIOR BENEFIT PROGRAM On the evening of March fourth, the Christian Endeavor society of the St. IVIatthew's Lutheran church of Princeton, presented the play, Old Fash- ioned Mothern, in the auditorium. This play was sponsored by the Senior Class. The play was very good and was thoroughly enjoyed by those pres- ent. Igit

Gail May Chorus of Tourists, Cowboys, Ghosts, Masqueraders, etc. Alan O'Day, a wealthy Easterner, desired the hand of Sandy Bank in marriage. Sandy rejects him because her mother, Lettice Bank, so shame- lessly favors the match on account of Alan's money. ln an effort to forget Sandy, Alan goes west to his ranch, which he converts into a tourist camp. Lettice Bank, not to be thwarted, takes her husband and Sandy and follows Alan, her excuse for the venture being that she wishes to live in the open to regain her health. The little party camp on some land adjoining Alan's ranch, which turns out to be some very valuable oil land owned by Geraldine Bank, a neice. Geraldine, known as Jerry, fearing arrest by the police, whose station she has demolished with her aunt's automobile, 'hires out to Alan as a helper to hide her identity. John Drayton, Alan's cousin, wishing to locate jerry for the purpose of buying her land for a syndicafte of which he is a member, hires Hunter, a detective, to assist him. When he finds that Hunter is cheating in an effort to get the land for himself, he dis- charges him. Mimi, a friend of john, locates jerry at the ranch. john and jerry form an attachment for each other, but through a twist of circum- stances, jerry is led to believe that john and Mimi are trying underhandedly to acquire her land at a profit for themselves. At a masquerade she de- nounces them and leaves. The next morning it is discovered that jerry, Sandy and Hunter have disappeared, also a Mr. Bean from Boston. Later Sandy returns and tells that Hunter, thinking she was Jerry, forced her into his car, but on finding his mistake left her the road and followed Mr. Bean and Jerry to Jericho. When Jerry and Mr. Bean return, jerry an- nounces that she has given him an option on the land until her papers arrive from home, but, if by that time oil has not been found she intends to sell the land to Hunter at his price. Later, when she is about' to dispose of the land to Hunter, she learns that in the Spring before, a gusher had been brought in and had been capped awaiting her decision to sell and that in some way Hunter had discovered the fact. She also learns that lVlr. Bean is president of John's syndicate and that Mimi is his wife, and that their ef- forts from the first have been to protect her interests. All ends happily as Alan and Sandy forgiveg and jerry, thoroughly ashamed, promises never to doubt john again. Page Sixty-1-ight
