u--1:1 THE P1,U'ro CRAFT in--1----in Ess and Jay Club By Pauline Crowe and Helen Briner The and Jay Club was organized last year by the Junior and Senior girls. The purpose of this club was to obtain money to purchase an electric score board. Last year the club gave a vaudeville act and show at the Dream Theatre and sold candy at two of the basketball games. Proceeds of the vaudeville amounted to approximately 353300. This year the Ess and Jay Club was reorganized by the present Seniors and Juniors. Miss Luckette and Mrs. Lash- brook are the faculty sponsors. The club girls sold candy at all the home basketball games and made a profit of 32900. Next year the club plans to buy a tarpaulin for the fioor of the gymna- sium to be used during plays and school exhibitions. Debating By Audra Flick and Noral Crowder The question for discussion this year is Resolved, that capital punishment should be abolished. The following students enrolled for membership in the debating teams: Noral Crowder, Audra Flick, Ruth Pin- nick, Genefern Newland, Coen Beaty, Ruth Flick, Joyce Conrad, Clara Louise Leonard, Paul Goldman and Evelyn Crowder. The ten who enrolled are divided into two pair of opposing teams as follows: Afiirmative: Clara Louise Leonard, Genefern Newlin, Joyce Conrad, vs. negative: Audra Flick, Paul Goldman, Noral Crowder, Affirmative: Coen Beaty, Ruth Flick vs. negative: Evelyn Crowder, Ruth Pin- nick. The first series of debates occurred in convocation during the last week in March. Each debator gave a five-minute speech. The purpose of this first series was to select the four best speakers. These four students will probably ap- pear before the public at a later date. All ten who enrolled, however, will be given a letter F if they display a sin- cere interest and measure up to the standard in their efforts. There are only two of our debators who are Seniors, Noral Crowder and Audra Flick. The remaining eight are Juniors and Sophomores. These are expected to provide French Lick High School with an experienced group of letter students for this sort of work next year.

1:l u THE PLUTOCRAFT gli-l-u tinued to run immense bills. Tony, her son, and Lola, his -wife, were determined to find some way out of the muddle. Mrs. Pendleton had been trying to find a millionaire to marry her daughter, Betty Lou, who became very disgusted and decided to do something about it. When she learned that her mother was bringing another prospective customer, a Mr. Worthington Brooks, Betty Lou, with the help of her friends, Bee, Bab. Joe and Jack, disguised as a child. As a result, everyone received a shock, and Mrs. Pendleton received a nervous head- ache. In the meantime, Tony brought his chum from training camp to the Pendle- ton home. Robert Sherwood, the guest, who was a very shy lad, had fallen in love with Betty Lou's picture. He was ignorant of the fact that the present Little Miss Peter Pan was Betty Lou. Nevertheless he kept his love a secrez. During the days of his visit, he rode Miss Peter Pan on his back, played with her, and helped her cut out paper dolls. Mrs. Pendleton decided to entertain her guests with a masquerade. The party proved to be a success until Mr. Brooks and Annie, the maid, his former accomplice, entered the room where Betty Lou was sitting, unseen, alone with her thoughts, and attempted to rob a Chinese lacquer cabinet that was suppos- ed to contain hidden jewels. Unknown to them, it had two secret drawers instead of only one. While they were examin- ing the cabinet, three masked men en- tered the room. Annie saw them and screamed, causing a scuHile which was preceded by the turning out of the lights. In a moment the lights came back on and Betty Lou, dressed in an evening gown, was kneeling in her chair, holding a revolver. One by one she had them III unmask. The first was Brooks. Betty Lou had suspected him but knowing that he was in love with Annie, sentenced him to life-on a Jersey farm, with Annie as his keeper. She sentenced Annie to send her some radishes from her farm. Then she had another of' the intruders unmask. He was a stranger and stated that he, Mr. Lane, had a mania for antiques and had come to be 'sure that the cabinet was the one for which he was searching. Betty Lou sentenced him to buy the cabinet for a large sum of money. He then left and Betty Lou was alone with the remaining intruder. Instead of compelling him to unmask and receive the sentence, she said, Your sentence is-kiss me. The man remov- ed his mask, revealing Bob Sherwood. When asked how she knew him, she said, By your chin. They expressed their love for each other, but Sherwood said that they could not marry because he had no money. Betty Lou then present- ed a deed which she had found in the cabinet. It gave the Railroad Company permission to build a railway through some adjoining territory. This would give the Pendletons a lifetime supply of money. Bob and Betty Lou were hap- pily married and Mrs. Pendleton was at last satisfied. The cast: Betty Lou ....,,,......
