The clothes modeled by eight Senior girls were demonstrated bv Mrs. Porter of the Porters Inc., Brockton. Beautiful spring styles including eve- ning dresses, three-piece suits, coats, and street dresses were very well modeled by Pauline Rayner, Ruth Leonard, Agnes Higgins, Dorothy Pepper. Barbara Boardman, Nellie Morton, Madelyn Moran, Muriel Wilson, and Zoe Polisson. The models entered through an arch in the center of the stage, then walked off the stage on a runway extending over half the hall’s distance. The arch and the runway were decorated artistically in the school color, blue. A very able pianist was furnished by Mr. and Mrs. Porter. Before the show a brief entertainment was offered. Patricia Allen tap- danced, Edrie MacPherson and Barbara Barton gave vocal solos, accompanying themselves with their guitars, and Marjorie Smart gave accordion selections. Mrs. Porter was presented with a beautiful bouquet by John Card, the senior class president.

SENIOR DRAMA TAKE MY ADVICE On the evening of Friday, January 20, 1939, the senior cast presented the play, “Take My Advice.” Richard McKinnon, who acted the part of Judd Fenton, with his whimsical way and elderly walk, took the eye of the audience. His arguments with Mrs. Nelson-Dodd were very humorous. The part of Mrs. Nelson-Dodd was taken by Jean Gagnon with a great deal of skill. John Card, as Jimmy Samson, a waker of towns, was very amusing with his monotonous and clever sales talks. The part of Bob Mannion, the head newspaper reporter, was taken by Douglas Egles. He was in love with Peggy Acton, played by Barbara Scott, who later was known as Peggy argrim. Their love scenes were entertaining. These two having the leading part s acted them beautifully. Robert Nason took the part of John Wargrim, a wealthy business man who was always ready to order someone around. argrim had a very sophisticated daughter, Marcia, whose part was taken by Pauline Rayner. Virgy Mannion was Bob’s young, snappy sister; this part was taken by Aladelyn Moran. The cast surely caught the characters’ personality throughout the play which went off without a hitch. The play was coached by Miss Kathryn Alegley of the faculty.

I DO NT Look at those foolish boys go after the girls. ... I don’t! I, Douglas Egles, believe in this “go-after-girl stuff”? Huh! ... I don’t! And to think some one said I go after the fairer sex. ... I don’t! Why, you wouldn’t think I would have any fun at all. ... I don’t!
