Junior Play Dear Di:— Now, Di, I have a picture of the Junior play cast. The play, produced November 3 and 14, was a huge success. Gee, Di, “Polishing Papa” was certainly a swell play and I sure did enjoy it. The cast was as follows: Mrs. Stevens Marie Mr. Smith Samuel Karman. Arthur Smith Jane Smith ... . Dick Brain ard Rose Parker Lord Reginald Dabney Peggy Simpson Theresa Atkins Virginia Bouwkamp ..PMward Stehouwer .. James Griffith John Hall Edith lf olbrink Wayne Lem men Phyllis Nixon ..Donald Hoek Joyce IVilson This play depicts the troubles of a son and daughter who try to “polish their father s manners but only succeed in changing themselves. And again, Di, Mrs. Altenburg directed. That's all now, Di. Bye Bubbles Seated —T. Atkins, J Wilson, E. Stehouwer, P. Nixon, E. Wolbrink, R. Ellis. Standing:— D. Hoek, Director, Mrs. Altenburg, J.

On both April 23 and 24 it was presented to a capacity crowd. Say, Di,from the looks of all this money we’re sure going to have a “honey” of a skip day. Lucinda Andrews . .Helen TenBrink Suzanne Toler Mildred Meindertsma Sid Sperry ferry Stephen Santry BUN .. Phyllis Anne Olive F.ve Dick Dr. Lynn Gray Mary Marshall Mrs. Marshall Angie Sperry The play itself concerned the family of Stephen Santry (Ben Hormsen) a Chi- cago author, who realized that his wife, Anne, (Helen Wilson) and his children Dick (Herlyn Nichols), Olive (Hazel Bouwkamp), Phyllis (Faye Bartholomew) and Billy (John Meindertsma), had lost their appreciation of fundamental worth while things. In an effort to regain these, he took them for a week-end visit to an inherited farm in the Missouri Osarks. How they learned an appreciation for each other and gained a worth white interest in living presented an interesting story. And, Di, Mrs. Altenburg did the directing for this play.. Bob Wenger was Business Manager and Howard Reyff was Property Manager. Oh, hum. Gee, Di, I’m so tired. Nile Bubbles

Band Dear Di:— The High School Rand, under the direction of Mr. Alten- burg, has furnished music for the pep meetings, football and basketball games. Their inspiring music must have helped, too, Di, because we had a lot better games this year. Seniors in the band are: Don Leitz and Glenn Bruggcrs: both “ oo ” the trumphet; Dorothy Scott, who plays a “classy” bit of clarinet and Bob Wilcox, who uses some of his air on an Alto horn. These members will certainly be missed but they are all wishing the band “loads of luck” next year. And Di, I'm sure that we just can't help having a swell band with all those “snoozy musicians they have left. The President of the band is Mary Lillie and Ray Aver- ill is Vice-President. Secretary-Treasurer is Jack Melcher. IVell, it’s getting late, Di. You know me. Always the early bird. Bye Bubbles
