The charming Princess of Bellarie (Margaret Rohrer) is celebrating her birthday — not that she cares a whit about birthdays! She accepts the gifts simply because it is all a part of the day ' s work! The Princess wishers for a change and excitement! And the wish comes true. Suddenly the monotony of the remote kingdom is interrupted by the arrival of Major Boobo (Ted Abbot) , to announce the coming of his Prince (Don Mullett) ! Dame Doodles (June Keller) bristles with rage when the Major annourices that the Prince wishes to look over the Princess, to see if he cares to pay her the compliment of a proposal. Ter- clump (Bob ' Wolfe), the heavy-footed detective, plans to spy on the Prince! In the midst of general confusion, a charming Peddler (Bob Thompson) arrives. His smile wins the instant approval of all except Dame Doodles and the Prince who so hates the Peddler that he has him cast into the pillory. The overbearing Prince then plans to banish Dame Doodles and put Ter clump into the dungeons! Finally, through the help of the Phantom of the Sea, and the royal signet ring, the Prince is brought into submission. Then the princess and the Peddler straighten things out. Amid much laughter, everyone rejoices that they have had in their midst the Prince of Peddlers. —22

Ck o ud At the beginning of each year, the call goes forth for recruits for this organization. All students even slightly interested in music enjoy singing in a group like this, so you may be sure that the Glee Club, which met only on Tuesdays and Thursdays, received a great deal of music ap- preciat ' on from their numerous vocal selections. Early in school life the students ' voices are trained. Even the first- grade practices diligently. Sometimes small groups are selected from the grades to sing in the local churches, at our class plays, and at P. T. A. meetings. This year the high school Glee Club held a recital at the Methodist Church in October. After several months of hard work, the group presented the operetta The Prince of Peddlers on May 6. Like the band, the Glee Club climaxed its season with the local Spring Music Festival. First row, left to right: Marilyn Ginder, Sharon Beebe.

Curtain going up for the first act of the Senior class play. The entire action of the play took place in the living-room of the Madden home Ln a small city in the Middle west. The disappearance of five thousand dollars at the store and Letty Madden ' s belief that Rita Norris, secre- tary to Adolf Madden, the manager of the store, is in- nocent got the play off to a start. Add to this Miss Arnold, Miss Powell, and Miss Kent, scatter-brained minor stockholders, who insist on making their own hats; Maimie with her desire to be a ballet dancer; and the result of Letty ' s visit to the psychiatrist, who tells her to follow her inhibitions — and you have a picture of the riot caused in the play, a reaction which was shared by the cast and their patient and superior director, Mr. Francis E. May. Upper Right: Letty (Gayncll Jankc): Are you a — a married man, Mr. Judson? Jerome (Don Mullctt): Not yc(. I guess I ' ve been lucky. Letty: Oh, well. Maybe your luck will change.
