Aunt Tillie Trask (Gail Hummel) was greatly upset because her favorite niece, Pamela Marsh (Marlene Haberkorn) announced her impending marriage to Mervin Tucker (Grant Conibear). The telephone rang and Aunt Tillie was called to town by her lawyer, leaving her maid Lucinda Talbot (Norma Church) in charge of her house. Lizzie Parsons (Carol Forney) who was writing a book spent much of her time at the Trask residence. Mervin Tucker arrived suddenly and had wired lis pal, Ronald Rowland (Donald Kane) to meet him at Aunt Tillie’s. Here he ran into many complicated affairs. Ellen Neeland (Darlene Krueger) who was searching for Mervin showed up and caused Mervin to disguise himself as Aunt Tillie. Ellen was looking for him to recover the missing piece of jade which belonged to Mr. Wong Lee of China. To frighten Mervin more the Chinese cook Charlie One Lung (Francis Haberkorn) appeared. Luther Lorrimer (Donald Bennett), Ronald’s wealthy employer arrives at the Trask home in time to see Mervin coming out from behind a screen in female attire. Mervin's Aunt Tillie (Wilma Lang) also appeared and then the fun was on. Dr. Hattie Bing, a chiropractor (Joann Franey) turned up and gave Mervin one of Aunt Tillie's treatments. Poor Pamela Marsh, Mervin’s future bride, was at her wit's end trying to figure things out. There was never a dull moment during the three entire acts. —10— CCcwa WMC We, the Seniors of 1952, being of feeble mind and unsound body, do will and bequeath the following unto the members of the junior class with the hope that the aforesaid persons csn utilize these legacies: I, Francis Haberkorn, do will and bequeath unto Margaret Smith ny '38 Plymouth and my shy, reserved manner.

Mr. and Mrs. Shermer (Don Hubly and Thelma Ringo) practically ruin the life of their nice son by making him wear knickers. Freddy (Alan Baltz) wishes that knickers had never been invented so as not to hinder his attentions toward Hildegarde.

The Chatsworth boys won their share of prize money at this fair which was held on the high school grounds.

For another money making activity they sponsored V-Roy the Magician on February 8, 1952. From the chain gilt which the club gave Nick Nimbler in the fall of 1950 they received two gilts back in the fall of 1951 which they gave to Leroy Hornstein and Arlen Frick.
