BASKETBALL At the beginning of the school term basket- ball was far from our minds, but as the season approached, we became anxious to show our prowess. Proof of this was shown by the suc- cess of a home made candy sale at the fair, made possible by interested girls. A squad of twelve was selected by Miss Tate, our coach. Following is the schedule of the games and scores: Date Team Fvw.

These girls are: Char- lotte McCray, captain and forward, who proved herself worthy of her position, even though at the latter part of the season she was handicap- ped with an injured knee, Ellinor Weislogel, another star forward, who worked with Mc- Cray, and made possible the splendid passwork that went on in their courtg Katty William- son, fiery side center, who had perfect team- work with Margaret Essick, in the center. Sen- ior subs were: Virginia Anderson, who because of illness could not participate during the whole season, and Betty Getz, who was always ready to do her best when called upon.

We thank Arlene Anderson, manager, and her assistant, Lucille Hershelman, for their co-operative work and helpfulness. Thanks a1'e also due the Fairview Tavern for the use of their hall for practice. As a fine ending for the season, the P. T. A. sponsored a banquet with the basket ball squad as honor guests. At this dinner the inspiring and interesting guest speaker was Miss Erma Weinheimer, girls' athletic coach at Strong Vincent High School, who told us the history of the Olympic games, and gave a first hand account of the games she, saw in California Charlotte McCray, captain, Ellinor Weislogel, and Catherine Williamson, all of whom have been members of the F. A. N. club this year, issued invitations to the following new mem- bers who also received letters: Virginia Ander- son, Betty Getz, Margaret Essick, Ann Wil- liamson, Wilma Furber, Betty Walker, Doris Pieper, Virginia Stuntz, and Arlene Anderson, manager.

May, 1936 THE CHALLENGE Page Twenty-th1-ee activities . . . 1 SENIOR CLASS PLAY After much vigorous searching, Miss Black decided upon the play, Where's Grandma? by Priscilla Wayne and Wayne Sprague, a de- lightful non-royalty play in three acts. Three different audiences seemed to enjoy it im- mensely. The next thing was the rather difficult task of picking out the cast. The play called for nine characters, but there are nineteen mem- bers in the Senior Class-thirteen girls and six boys. Miss Black and Mr. Hauck, wishing to choose the members of the cast as fairly as possible, held tryouts. Miss Black had read the play aloud to the class, and as a try out each Senior was given an opportunity to read a selection from one or more parts. After an agony of waiting-half an hour to be exact- the cast was announced, and the rehearsals were on. After spend'ng much time on memorizing their parts, some seriors decided that putting on a play wasn't all it was cracked up to be. Memorizing the first act wasn't bad, but when it came to the second and third, it wasn't so easy. Finally, after a little over three weeks cf rehearsals, we gave our first real perform- ance. The story is centered around Grandma, who comes to visit her grandchildren. She has never seen them and she longs desperately to have them love her. Her granddaughter, Gretchen Blake, who feels it her duty to boss her younger brother and sister and her young attorney husband, is shocked by the ap- pearance of Grandma, all decked out like a sixteen year old girl. Her grandson, Jack Worley, is madly in love with a shy, Winsome girl, Lucy King, who works in a Five and Ten. Arline Truesdale, the wealthy villainess, whose father owns the Five and Ten. is out to beat Lucy's time and marry Jack herself. Mean- while Carol Worley, her second granddaughter, is planning to run away and marry Tom Gar- ton, much against Gretchen's wishes. To make things exciting, there is a shortage at the Five and Ten store. Jack is blamed for it, but Lucy confesses to the crime to shield himg and Jack goes off to marry Arlene in order to shield Lucy. Grandma fixes things up by having a detective investigate and find that Arlene Truesdale's father is the guilty one. Grandma finally becomes the sweet, mod- est old grandma that she really is. She com- mands Jack and Lucy to get married, Gretchen to stop running the whole family and Carol to marry Tom. She also adds that some day she wants to be a Great Grandmother and every- one is happy. Everyone in the cast did his or her best and with the help of all the Sen- iors the three performances brought 365.00 into the class treasury. This is the largest amount the senior class play has earned since these seniors entered high school. Miss Black was delighted with the beautiful bouquet of pink, and red, and yellow rosebuds which the Senior Class gave her, and the Sen- iors were all very much pleased with the suc- cess of Where's Grandma?

B etty Getz THE LITERARY CONTEST The evening of December 12th found a large audience assembled to hear the Seventeenth Annual Literary Contest of Fairview High School. With the aid of this audience, the faithful participants, the High School Orches- tra, and the Girls' Chorus this event proved to be a great success. The contest was a battle from beginning to end, for each one put his best into his part of the program. The results, announced by Mr. Pratt, Assistant Superintendent of Erie Coun- ty Schools. were very close. Esther Light, Betty Walker, Helen Carlson, and the Junior Debating Team were successful as the indi- vidual winners, while the Senior Class polled highest in the total number of points.
