The minstrel, which was known as the Plantation Jubilee, was an orig- inal arrangement with the members of the class. The class was seriously handicapped when the Senior Sponsor, Miss Mildred Weaver, was taken ill a few days before the date set for the presen- tation. Miss Frazee stepped into the breech, however, and the play was given with only three rehearsals. The members of the cast rose to the occasion and the minstrel was well received by a large audience. The members of the cast were Dorothy Clock, Ruby Roberts, Garnett Peak, Thelma Reeves, Walter Boyles. Dale Burgess, Harold Johnson, Bill Cartwright, Paul Kelly, Robert Needler, Her- man Williams, Ferrell Sollars, Ferrel and John Stevenson 3' pianists, Mabel Rigdon and Evelyn Vannatter.
