155 REVIEW GO SLOW MARY The Junior play, Go Slow Mary, was a roaring success for it certainly brought down the house with laughter as well as drawing the largest audi- ence of any function this school year. The Juniors are glad to report that the gate receipts were one hundred and twelve dollars.

They agree to change places. Billy is to keep house while Mary supports the family by resuming her old position as a stenographer. If, after a week, B111 finds domestic duties are not as easy as he anticipates his system will make it, he is to consent to Mrs. Bordon's living with them and doing the house work. Just at this critical time Sally Carter blows in, and a little later Bert Childes arrives. Dolly and Bobby, the little angels, nearly drive poor Uncle Bill frantic. On top of that Katy is persuaded to leave Danny Grubbs, who attempted to beat up on Billy because he reported him for slowness. Such a commotion occurs that Patrick Murphy rushes in, terminates the affair, flirt with Katy, and as he departs warns the family to beware of a gentle- man burglar. Billy's efforts at housekeeping are amusing but ineffectual. Mary fails to obtain her position, but keeps up the pretense by going out every day. Both are desperately unhappy, believing the other has ceased to love them. Sally advises the creation of a little jealousy. Accordingly Mary becomes very friendly with Bert. Billy is simply furious. Katy decides she doesn't want to be hitched and returns. Then Mary finds Billy talking to Sally. Meanwhile Mrs. Berdon's diamond ring disappears. Policeman Murphy catches the gentleman burglar in the house and he turns out to be Sally's husband, Harry Stevens. In their attempt to stand by Sally in this dis- grace Mary and Billy become reconciled. Harry's innocence is established when Katy finds the ring in a goose and Dolly confesses that she took it, accidentally dropped it, and the goose swallowed it. Katy at last accepts Danny's proposition. Harry finds Bill a responsible position and all is well! forty-three

S. the Freshmen were in- formed that they were to be initiated into the wonders and mysteries of High School life at a party. On our arrival there, we found that not a single Freshie was absent as direct punishment had been promised them if they failed to appear. They were duly put through various ceremoniesg by the committee in charge. Then everyone joined in playing various games until at the general cry of Let's eat. The weiners and marshmallows which had been provided were brought forth and speedily disappeared. Everyone then returned home wishing the Freshmen much success all through their High School life. Hallowe'en Party O'n the evening of October 27, the Seniors gave a party in theform of a Hallowe'en masquerade to which the other classes were invited. The committee had decorated the gym in true Hallowe'en custornsg fortunes were told in many interesting ways. Partners were chosen and told to follow a string which led them into various rooms of the building. In one room, fortunes were told by throwing nuts on the fire. In another, a ghost gave out blank pieces of paper which, when held over a candle fiame, pro- claimed what the future had in store for us. In still another room, under the direction of an old witch, we foretold our fates by dropping tallow from a lighted candle into a pan of water. Various other games were played, after which delicious refreshments were served by the committee. The guests departed at a late hour, thank- ing the Seniors for an enjoyable evening. . Senior Bob-Sled Party At the first heavy snowfall of the season, the Seniors had a bob-sled party. 4 Everyone enjoyed their ride very much, although a few students re- ceived minor injuries when the bob-sled upset. However, this accident was a mere trifie for what's a sleighing party without a spillor two? Returning to the school house they did full justice to a lunch which was served there. Junior Bob-Sled Party The Juniors also took advantage of this snow and had a sleighing party on the same night. The ride was very enjoyable, although the side of the sled fell out and several students fell into an snow bank. After the ride, they returned to the home of Ralph Schmidt and spent the rest of the evening playing Rook and other games. A delicious lunch was served. The guests dispersed all hoping for another snowfall soon. Sophomore Party ' Immediately after first semester exams, the Sophomore class held a Post-Exam Jubilee to celebrate the fact that the members had successfully completed the first half of the school year. forty-five
