It is the story of the youth, “Tom¬ my” (Russell Pratt) who brings candy to his would-be mother-in-law, Mrs. Thurber (Florence Suhs), cigars to the would-be father-in-law (Ar¬ thur Gibbs) and shows himself sucn a paragon of virtue that the daugh¬ ter (Eileen Nethery) is checked in her mad tendency to love him. Her parents are eternally pushing her into Tommy’s arms. An uncle (Ver¬ non Rosenthal) detects destruction of the romance and puts into Tom¬ mie’s mind a scheme to mend mat¬ ters. Tommy succeeds so well that Marie’s mother ad father are very strongly encouraging her to take up with other young men, and one wonders what the end will be, but the whole plot is entirely enjoyable. The New York Times says of Tom¬ my: “It is one of the most enjoyable entertainments of the season—bright, fresh, and continuously funny. Tom¬ my comes over without a dull mo¬ ment.” The other members of the cast, Bernard (John Bareman), Mrs. Wil¬ son (Margaret Bixenman) and Judge Wilson (Forrest Everett), did their part to make the play an outstand¬ ing success. The cast was great, ticket sales were good, and everyone did his share. “Tommy” was the crowning success of the year.

Senior Prophesy (Continued from Page 9) turned out to be one of the leading women politicions. She holds a seat in the U. S. Senate. Oh yes, she’s a Democrat! Margaret Bixenman has followed her desired ambitions too. She is the editor of the popular Le Roy Gazette and what a paper it is. It ought to be with Margaret editing it. “Genie” Egelski and Virginia Baker have also followed their de¬ sires. They run a big New York dancing school from which many of the famous follies girls are picked. Vinginia handles the toe dancing departmet; “Genie” the finger danc¬ ing, pardon, I mean the group danc¬ ing. Their motto: “Life is just a dance — or two. Boyde Howard surprised us in the next smoke ring by being in Egypt doing archaeological work — well any¬ way he is digging for old relics or something. Just look in Crown Point’s Simon Musium and you ' ll see many of his wonderful discov¬ eries. Next we see Margaret Arnold and Loraine Mounce as nice quiet nurses in the operating room smiling down on an unruly but handsome patient. The patient is Clarence Klass, who was driving the New York Central train with the president, and had a serious accident. The wheel came off. Eugene Ingersoll next appears with a wide broad smile. He is a comedian on the stage, and boy how he can make them laugh. He also writes plays during his spare time, the latest one being “Sasafras”. Harold Meeker next comes through with a left to the jaw and a right to the mid-section. What a man! He has turned out to be a great boxer. In fact he is greater than Demsey. Lawrence Hershman has just com¬ pleted his thirty-eight years and knows, at the present time thirty- eight languages. Right now he is in the Somoan Islands teaching Greek. Gordon Shultz, a graduate from three different colleges is playing with the weather at Washington. He has turned out to be the nation’s greates Agricultural as well as .the finest Astronomical man. Florence Helrich is seen next out in wild Montana. What she is doing I don’t know, but there is a man with her. The odds are against her this trip. I believe it must be a honeymoon. This is her fourth or fifth husband. Kenny Linto n is depicted in Nash¬ ville, Tenn., married to one of those sweet southern girls. I guess Mar- garete couldn’t keep him from the (fascination of the south. He is in the tobacco business. Edna Roffman and Margaret Neth- ery are next seen on the top of a high mountain in the Swiss Alps. They are painting a wonderful scene of sunset. Margaret does the paint¬ ing while Edna looks for inspira¬ tions. Kathryn Meyer is noted for her society column in the New York times. She is one of New York’- biggest social leaders, and she really knows her stuff. Charlotte Houk is seen in a big building off Sheridan Road, Chicago. The building is magnificent with high ceilings and arched walls. She is taking notes for one of the richest men in the world. The captain of industry— Leon Tolbert. I remem¬ ber when he used to peddle news¬ papers. What a change!

Junior Class Play On March 10th, 1932, the junior class under the direction of Miss Margaret P. Bollenbach, dramatic teacher, presented a comedy in three acts, “It Never Rains” by Aurania Rouverol. It was a play of California and youth. Its principal romance con¬ cerns Jimmy Rogers, played by Bert Ellis, and Dorothy Donovan, played by Marguerite Boye, one entering second year at the University, and the other a freshie worried for fear she wouldn’t be bid by the sorority she wanted to join. The sterner background of drama for these youngsters was furnished by the mothers and fathers of Jimmy and Dorothy. The mothers, Mabel Rog¬ ers, played by Mary Anna Place, and Clara Donovan, played by Mar¬ tha Parry, had been chums years before. The Donovns came to Cal¬ ifornia and looked up the Rogers. Bluff entered their lives and all but wreck them; and there was the case of the young, foolish and worried Norleen Sears, played by Virginia Benjamin, a neighbor girl, to give moments of near-tragedy. To make matters worse, Mrs. Rog¬ er’s old sweetheart, Dane Lawson, played by Walter Weiland, came to make a friendly call on Mabel. Then Mr. Rogers played by Dan Oram and Mr. Donovan played by Edward Henderlong, got into quite a mis¬ understanding about the real estate business. Savannah, the maid, played by Sarah Fisher, added many an ex¬ citing moment to the story. The parts of three college girls Mary, Margret and Gale were played by Janis Holley, Janet Holley, and Wilma Adank respectively. The as¬ sistant cheer leaders were Robert Selkow and Joe Horn. Others who helped in making the play a complete success were Ver¬ non Rosenthal and John Bareman, sound effects; Miss Green and Miss Knudson, makeup; Mr. Atkins, bus¬ iness manager and Miss Taggart and Mrs. Kalen, tickets. Music was furn¬ ished by the high school orchestra. Junior Class History (Continued from Page 11) other dance and on March 10th, they presented “It Never Rains” a three act comedy, which was a huge suc¬ cess. After a few hardships in the forms of mid-year exams, the “Class of ’33’ crow disbanded with the promise of a bigger and better voyage for their last year on the “Sea of Education.” Nurse: “Sir, the stork has just brought you a new son.” Mr. Poe: “Great! But don’t tell my wife—I want to surprise her.” Sometime last week Arthur Gibbs dropped around and meekly asked that we keep his name out of this “Inklings” edition. Now, in the past, the school publication has always been known to be very obliging; and as a special courtesy to Arthur Gibbs we will not mention his name in this paper.
