CLASS PLAY A three act comedy, NGirls Are Like That,H was pre- sented on April 29 by the upperclassmen, assisted by three sophomores. The action of the play centered around a mix-up in fiances when the ri ht man fails to show up. Virginia Poole iJune Schultz? must produce a fiance on very short notice when she received word that Aunt Jane lViolet De Boer! is coming for a visit. It seemed Auntie had prom- ised Virginia a substantial sum of money when she an- nounced her engagement. Little sister Mary Jane CJudy Beilkel complicated the problem by some of her rattle-brained ideasg and helpful girl friend, Lillian, CMarie Bentingb, further complicated matters. when Tommy CDale Buttkcj, the real fiance, comes back unexpectedly, the two imposters, Jack KPaul Jordrej and Jimmy CGerald Millerb, are in for trouble. The plot is further complicated by the thoroughly bewildered Mother Poole CNancy Hoothb, and Jack's sister Helen CDan bara Buttkel, whose identity is also misinterpreted, The play was enjoyed by everyone who attended, JUNIOR-SENIOR BANQUET The Junior-Senior Banquet was held at Ortonville at 5:45 in the evening on Thursday, May 123 the theme being NA Circus in Town.n ' Junior boys, supervised by Mrs. James Jordre, plan- ned and prepared the invitations and decorations.
