The story concerned Robert Preston, thirty, and very much in love. The object of his affection was charming Ann Winston. When he attempted to follow his father's advice, Never mix business and sentiment, the fun began. In order to keep Preston from selling his property adjoining the Benevolent Hospital for a factory site, Ann plotted with Dr. Walter Talley. The doctor informed Preston that he had mistakenly taken poison for a headache remedy and had but twenty-four hours to live. In desperation Preston distributed his money among charitable organizations, and forced the doctor to marry Ann. Of course, the supposed poison did not take effect and Preston discovered the ruse. I-Ie was then desperate, but the inevitable way out appeared. The supposed minister who per- formed the ceremony was only a playground official. The cast included the following: Robert Preston, Milton Edelman, Ann Winston, Ger- trude Straussg Vivian Darrell, Luella Roth, Mr. Meek, Peter Clarke, Dr. Talley, George Koval, Thomas, a butler, Delbert Mugford, Olga, a cook, Mary Britch, Frances, a maid, Stella Bednarzg Miss Wilkes, Rose Smurl, a policeman, Ray Conmyg Beansy'7 Blake, Joseph Novinskig Frank Cullen, Ralph Brassg photographers, John Emanski, James Kistlerg Charles Dobson, Robert Pesaventog Rev. Dr. Loring, Robert Mosley. Understudies were Stella Bednarz, Jane Hawrusik, james Kistler, Delbert Mugford. After the Senior Play, the dramatically-inclined seniors turned their thoughts to Masquers. With those who were members last year and the Senior Play cast, who are honorary members, as a nucleus, the senior and junior dramatic club re-organized. First, an examining board was chosen by the chairman of the re-organization committee. Before this board came all juniors and seniors who were trying out. After they had chosen a club of fifty members, the work of the examining board was finished, and the club started its year's work. THE BUTLER REMOVES THE SIGNIFICANT BASKET Twenty

The journal News, a mimeographed venture into newspaper work, made its initial ap- pearance at Coughlin on Friday, November 13. Mr. Super announced the list of Junior Ushers on Wednesday, November l8, just two days before the Senior Play at which they were to make their first appearance. l'lRS'l' IHIXX ll.:-il In Iiiglnl: l'i-.nl Ilirli-n-ii-in.

To them is given the duty of ushering those in attendance at all Coughlin shows. But along with this duty comes great honor. Their number is composed of the students who have attained the highest averages over almost three years of high school worlc. Besides high scholastic standing, these students must possess leadership and a desire to serve the school in every way. Appointment to the junior Ushers is the aim of every freshman and sophomore and the hope of every junior. This year, their number, thirty-five, is somewhat larger than usual. After their appointment, they are placed in charge of Mr. Fred H. Super, who instructs them in their duties and is always present to help them in their duties in case of some unforeseen Clifliculty. There are no officers. One of the most important of Coughlin's dramatic performances, the Senior Play, was presented on Friday evening, November 20. On that night, the class of 1937 offered It Won't Be Long Now, a farce, by Milton Herbert Gropper, under the direction of Mrs. Mollie W. Kent. ' .Ni'm'1f

All through the year Masquers meet on the second and fourth Thursdays of each month. Sometimes one and sometimes two one-act plays are presented at each meeting. In this way every member gets a chance to appear in at least one play with an exceptionally good perform- ance being repeated in chapel. In addition to entertaining themselves, this club provides ready material for any dramat- ic performance given in the school. The oflicers are: president, James Kistlerg vice-president, Peter Clarlceg secretary, Stella Bednarzg treasurer, Joseph Novinslcig Journal reporter, Eleanor Guiney. Several years ago some ambitious Coughlin students, interested in stamps and stamp col- lecting and finding limited opportunity to increase their knowledge, organized the Coughlin X i 1 f e : 'er -fx' 2 Mitt r- . - I 1 .' 2-5: C l lli5'I' ROW ll.:-lt to Righll: livvlyn l.t-win, Mary Kumif-gn, Jam- lluwrusik, Pell-r Clarke.

Since that time Mr. Booth and the club's officers have, from year to year, guided the club so wisely and have made its progress so interesting that the Stamp Club is now one of Coughlin's most active organizations. The meetings are given over mainly to programs in which new issues of stamps are dis- cussed. Each member brings in a stamp issue which is passed around among all the members to be studied and discussed. Mr. Booth, who is himself an ardent stamp collector, secures Tzvenly-om'
