Adam Smith Woodrow Thompson ..............,............, Lord Andrew Gordon The student body presented Adam and Eva, a three act comedy by Guy Bolton and George Middleton, November 23. The play was one of the biggest successes, both financially and dramatically that has ever been produced by the students of the Fortuna Union High School. Miss Helen Ford, dramatics coach, carefully chose the cast. Due to the sudden illness of Miss Ford, Mrs. Ruth Beck coached the play. The plot of the play concerned a very wealthy man and his parasite family. He lost money in a big drop in the rubber market, and the way in which his family overcame the sudden difficulties proved very interest- ing. A good love story was woven into the play and there Were many comedy spots. Page Ninety-one

School Band Students of the Fortuna Union High School have heard the uncanny shrieks, blasts, and bangs coming from the auditorium and have, no doubt, wondered who or what was being tortured. At least the members of the Art and Physics departments have survived the tortues. Let us explain. This year a band was organized in the school, and despite the fact that most of the members are beginners on their respective instruments, the band, which is composed of boys only, has made a great deal of pro- gress. After several months of practice under the leadership of Miss Dorothy Dale, it has reached a place where it can make a creditable ap- pearance in public. The band's debut was made at the Ferndale vs. Fortuna basketball game. It also played during the Eureka vs. Fortuna basketball game on the home court and it has also played for the student body on several oc- casions. Since many are taking advantage of the opportunity to receive instruction on the various instruments, we expect this organization to make rapid strides in the future. Page Ninety

Diana Edgerton, the vamp Under Twenty, a three act comedy by L. Westervelt and John 'Cle- ments, was cleverly presented by the senior class on the evening of April 19. Miss Helen Ford directed the play. The heroine of this comedy is a most lovable personality, a charming miss of seventeen, who takes it upon herself to save the family fortunes by marrying off her sister to a handsome man from the west. She is a movie fan and regulates all her deeds by asking herself, What would Mary Pickford do now ? She managed to keep the entire family in an exciting turmoil for al- most two hours, only to discover in the end that she is really in love with the westerner. She achieves all her aims, however, and in the end makes everybody happy in her fascinating way. Page Ninety-two
