Realistic scenery animates school plays Dear Ruth , the fall play, and The Girls in 509 , the spring play, were performed by all-school casts under the direction of Mr. Johnson, dramatics teacher. Dear Ruth , a story about a young girl who corresponds with a soldier overseas using her older sister ' s name was presented November 14 and 15 in MacPherson Hall. As the story became more involved and com- plicated, the older sister realized her former wedding engagement to Al- bert Kummer was a mistake and mar- ried the soldier. May 1 and 2, dramatics classes en- acted The Girls in 509 . The play concerned two hermit ladies found in the back suite of an old hotel when it was about to be remodeled. The two sisters isolated themselves from the outside world and vowed to re- main in the hotel until a Republican was in office. The fun came when members of the Republican and Democratic parties, not to mention the newspapers, took an interest in these politically dedicated ladies. Above left — Upon finding out that he is Ruth ' s second fiance, Lt. Wm. Seauright (John Ander- son) sinks deep into thought as Miriam (Lois Chapin), Ruth ' s sister, tries to console him. Left — Miss Frued (Sylvia Gilbertson) reassures Aunt Hettie (Dawn Mills) that she will go to work at once to help the sisters remain in the hotel. Activities 17
