qag THE TALEBEARER egg. Nothing But the Truth The Class of '26 presented William Collier's three act comedy Nothing But The Truth at the High School gymnasium, May 1, 1925. Is it possible to tell the truth for twenty-four hours? Bob Bennett, the hero of the play, proves that it can be done despite the many difficulties he has to overcome. In the face of the jeers of members of his firm, he denies that there are certain necessary business lies. Ralston, Van Dusen and Donnelly bet him ten thousand dollars that he cannot tell the unadulterated truth for twenty-four hours. Complications arise when Bob insults his fiancee's best friend about her clothing and singing and reduces her to tears, upsets a hundred thousand dollar business deal of Ralston's, and forces his fiancee to break off their engagement when he refuses to tell her what has happened to the 510,000 she gave him to invest for her. However, in spite of all these difficulties he wins the money and the girl. The cast of characters: ROBERT BENNETT --- E. M. RALSTON ......

Halloween Party ------Elsie Lincoln ----Helen Spangler ----Dorothy Spangler One of the best society features of the school year was a masquerade Hallowe'en party given by the Senior and Sophomore classes at the High School gymnasium, October 30, 1925. All of the students were greeted by a reception committee as they entered the door. The gym was decorated with corn shocks, pictures of Witches and cats, and large pumpkins which afforded light for the party. Several games were played in which all the students entered. Then the students were divided into four groups. One group was asked to handle the remains of the murdered man, Jones, one group to tell the story of the murder, one group to put together a Hallowe'en rhyme, and another to play a game of three fates. The feature of the evening was the Grand March and at this time the best costumes were chosen. Paul Barr and Susie Greider carried off first and second prizes and Kenard Lincoln and Ralph Moss received honorable mention. At ten o'clock refreshments consisting of sweet cider and pumpkin pie and sand- wiches were served. 69' 21 'Ve-
