Intermis- sion furnished duets by Veda and Velda Thornton, Accordian Solos by Sarah Zelsneiss. Ice Cream-and cookies toooooo. Every one left at 11:00 because of some unforeseen reason, which none could ever figure out. ' Being it is that every class in high school takes turns for taking in the D0-RE-ME, the Juniors put on the next dance. A contest for those who felt like chasing from one end of the floor, to the other. CAnd of course all the girls did!! DIDN T we g1rls?????l The Juniors served pop and cookies to every one there, but not all of these people were happy, you see the grape pop was, well should we say, 'NOT TASTY1' Season tickets for basketball, was the original thought for the next dance and every one liked the idea too.

Davis, a small-town business man, and his wife are discussing their financial condition, which at the time ie very embarrassing, when their son Bennie announces his engagement to Molly Mallertcn. Bennie asks his father for two hundred dollars to buy Molly an engagement ring. Mr. Davis promises to give him the money if he will pretend to be a girl during the visit of his uncle, Benjamin Davis, Esq After much deliberation Bennie consents. ,Uncle Ben prefers girls to boys,'therefore it is necessary for Bennie to pose as a girl in order to win his favor and, thus, receive some or Uncle.Ben's wealth. Molly and Harold do not understand the situation and call in Ab Dinkler, the Town Marshall, to find Bennie, who they believe has disappeared. Ab hunts for clues in every nook and cranny and finally comes to the conclusion that Uncle Ben has-murdered Bennie, 'By Greb.' Bennie returns to the scene as his true self and saves Uncle Ben from being taken to.Ja1l. He xhen continues to play a duel role until Uncle Ben finds part of the disguise used by Bennie. Hr. and Mrs. Davie explain the entire story to Uncle Ben who takes it as a big Joke on himself. He is well pleased to find that he has a nephew like Bennie and gives him a quarter of a million dollars. This ends the stream of lies that was necessary for Bennie to tell and thus draws to a close the 'String of Beads' as Bennie termed the lies.
