JUNIOR CLASS PLAY 1926 Clarence Clarence, as presented by the Junior Class, was one of the best and most successful plays ever given by any class in the Council Grove High Shcool. Under the capable direction of Mrs. J. J. Haney, the well chosen cast imper- sonated the characters of the play to a wonderful degree of perfection. The audience was pleased as was evident from continuous rounds of applause. Cast Clarence ..........,., Mrs. Wheeler ........ Mr. Wheeler ,..,...

Ted Harding and Billy Cummings, American min- ing engineers, accompanied by their colored servant, Sam, come to Persia to work the Shah's gold mine. Ted falls in love with Zohdah, and Billy with Lohlah, Zohdah's old nurse, pursues Sam, much to his discomfiture, thinking him her affinity in some other incarnation. The Shah has other plans for Zohdah's future and returns with Comecraba, an Arab Sheik, whom he wishes Zohdah to marry. The Sheik turns out to be flying under false colors, having been compelled to abdicate his throne. The Shah finds this out in time and orders the Sheik away, at the same time throwing Ted, Billy and Sam in prison because of their continued attentions to Zohdah, Lohlah and Nowobeh. Nowobeh makes the Shah see that by keeping the Americans in prison he is defeating his own plans in operating his rich gold mine, and so he is persuaded to give his consent to the weddings. As Ted says, All's well that end well and you may soon expect invitations to a triple wedding in the Garden of the Shah. Page For
