THE ECHO 19 Kelly, Michael’s mother, claims the pearls. Mrs. Lyman, sister to Mrs. Ben- ton, solves the problem when she brings in Mrs. Benton’s pearls from the gar- den where they fell.

Madeline Hogan played the part of Mrs. Lyman, Mrs. Benton’s sister, very well. The parts of Mr. James Talbot and his nervous daughter Geraldine, who are the Bentons’ guests, were performed by Mason Colby and Marie Mack. Annella Card enters as Virginia Carter, a neighbor’s young daughter, who is very much attached to her play dog. Rib- bon. Mary Murphy, a new maid at the Benton House, was played skillfully by Mary Emmett. Leo Smith portrayed the comical role of Michael Kelly, Mary’s lover.

The school orchestra with Richard Croft as soloist played several numbers between the acts. After the second act guitar selections by Edrie MacPherson and Barbara Barton were enjoyed. Arlene Cote gave a clever tap dance, and delightful accordion selections were contributed by Marjorie Smart. Betty Potts’ exhibition of baton twirling was well received and enjoyed by all. A novelty dance by Stewart McKay, Donald McKay, Allan Jones, John Card, George Hagerty, and Robert Townsend as Minski cast-offs was the concluding number which proved very humorous.

THE ECHO 21 ents decided to take a plane to the city. The three children then found out that they had to stay home after all. They turned on the radio and heard the old fashioned Thanksgiving. This was cleverly presented on the stage, with beau- tiful lighting effects. It showed the whole Pilgrim family dressed in appropriate costumes and seated around the Thanksgiving table. After this was finished, the modern family thoughtfully returned to the stage, and the children were then informed of the crashing of the airplane which their parents were supposedly on. An exciting few minutes followed, but in the end the parents came back to say that they had changed their minds, and they hadn’t taken the plane. An old fashioned Thanksgiving then occurred with din- ner at home. ALUMNI NEWS Record of our Post Officers 1938 B. U. School of Administration S. C.
