OUR WURK GANG Each year the student council tries in some way to make improvements at the gymnasium. This year's job was a real task and required the co-op- cration of the community as well as the whole student body. After the dig- ging out and cementing of the floor of the dressing room so that it was pos- sible for the athletes to stand erect, new steel lockers were installed. The work was done after school by the boys of the school and men of the community who donated their services. To assist in this work the girls did their bit by furnishing sandwiches. llf:': mme, Q 1 1 9 2 7 Page twenty-five THE TALEBEARER l

THE TALEBEARER their crowd. Nettie entertains the club one afternoon, and Father Minick interrupts until the ladies become so disturbed that they leave. That is the last straw, and Nettie threatens to leave. Father Minick overhears Nettie and Lil Corey, her best friend, talking, and he decides that he cannot expect young people to find enjoyment as he does no matter how much they may try. Then he goes to the Old Man's Home where he will be with his old cronies and can do as he pleases without disturbing anyone else. Cast of Characters: Old Man Minick .....

Iris Fisher SPREADING THE NEWS A one act play Spreading the News, was given jointly by the Lakohi and Dalitonian Literary Societies on March 24, at Tcacher's Institute held at the Freeport Junior High School. Ths one act play pictures very vividly how a story grows. Mr. and Mrs. Fallon had gone to the fair and were ready to go home when Jack Smith came by. He was going to the meadow to make hay and accidentally left his hay fork at an apple stall. Bartley Fallon, wishing to be kind, took the fork and started to find jack Smith. Some of the people of the village saw him and told someone else that Bartley Fallon was after jack Smith with a hay fork. One person added his bit to the story and said that Jack Smith had been killed by Bartley Fallon. In the midst of all the excitement jack Smith turned up, and when he heard the absurd story, he said he would like to see' the person who could find his dead body. Bartley Fallon and jack Smith were then taken by the police. Cast of characters : Bartley Fallon ...... ....................... G len Shippy Mrs. Fallon ........ ........
