Qrchestra FIRST ROW-Heigele, Harvey, Haney, Elliot, White, Cress, Perry, Jaillite, Houcke, Rose, Eberhart, Prather. SECOND ROW-Rotchford, Coltrane, Miss Snow, Evans, Thomas, Yadon, Van Camp. THIRD ROW-Yadon, Corey, Pearson. The orchestra this year has been the largest in the history of the Council Grove High School, being composed of twenty-four members, some of which were from the Grade Schools. The orchestra played for County Teachers' Meetings and plays and other events throughout the year. It has been con- sidered a success in every Way by all who had the opportunity to belong, and by those who have had the pleasure of hearing it. Much credit is due the Music Supervisor whose untiring efforts have helped to make the organization one of benefit and pleasure. We are Wondering if, in case Gabriel decided to blow his trumpet in this era, the majority of students would recognize it as such unless it would be equipped with a Wah-Wah mute. I shall now tickle the ivories, said the dude as he fingered a toothpick. Page 45

R alph Caywood SENIOR PLAY 1926 PENROD The Senior Play of 1926, Penrod , was very successfully produced on the evening of March 30, and again on April 15. The well-chosen cast, under the able direction of Mrs. J. J. Haney, very well portrayed the life of Boyville. The general plot of the play is about the difficulties and pleasures of Penrod and Sam. How they detected the villianous schemes of Mr. Dade, how they accidentally shot Tim in the act of robbing the house and how at last they caused their parents' hearts to swell with pride. The manner in which Sam beat around the bush when questioned about using fire arms is very typical of boys of ten years of age. Margaret, Penrod's sister, is forever being embarassed by his appearance at the most inopportune moments, And Mrs. Schofield becomes very much worried when Penrod will not be a little gentleman, however, she is more worried when she comes home and finds him missing The entire cast showed its ability in every respect.
