20 DEEDS AND MISDEEDS HER HONOR THE MAYOR One of the outstanding features of the school year was the eighth grade play. The circumstance which gave it such a thrilling interest was the fact that just who would be the chosen few, was determined not only by our inborn ability as artists but also by our scholarship. Knowing that that rule would be adhered to, we felt that we had won a great achievement when we eight were informed that we were so highly honored. “Her Honor the Mayor” was the play selected. Urged onward by the suc¬ cess of the preceding eighth grade plays, we worked, and worked hard, that ours might be of equal if not surpassing merit. It seemed that about the time all arrangements were made for a skat¬ ing party, especially before the novel¬ ty of appearing in knickers was worn off, play practice was announced. Of- course, to play practice we went. We were always in our happiest mood and every thing seemed so ir¬ resistibly funny, that Miss Coffee, our coach, would threaten us with un¬ speakable things if we did not become serious. We would do so for a while, but soon another outburst would com¬ mand every one’s attention. Fortun¬ ately Miss Coffee could appreciate the many humorous situations that arose, so we were spared the humilia¬ tion of receiving more than a mild scolding. We presented the play in the high school auditorium on May third and fourth, the first night to a crowded house, the second to a fair sized au¬ dience. Not a thing accured to mar the successful presentation and every body seemed to enjoy the program. To Miss Mutscliler, who prepared the specialties, to Mr. Berry, who as¬ sisted in making up the characters, to the lower grade pupils, for selling tick¬ ets and to all the teachers for their splendid aid and co-operation, we ex¬ tend our sincere thanks. —Mary Katherine Schug The list of characters and by whom impersonated here follows: Lester Parmenter—Candidate for mayor—• Graydon Dixson.
