The play was given on November 18. James Edward Soulen portrayed Eddie Barry, a boy almost eighteen. .Mr. Barry, Eddie’s father, (Robert Liset) kept a sharp look over him. Eddie’s only consolation was his mother (Bernice Meyers) and his understanding uncle, (Jennings Peteler). His sister (Marie Hamilton) was caused some embarrassment bv Eddie’s capers. The story ran something like this: Eddie planned to enter an essay contest in hopes of winning $250 for voice training. His uncle George mailed in an essay which he believes Eddie has written. Upon hearing that he won first prize Eddie was taken aback as he knew he hadn’t sent in the winning essay. Professor Merritt, (Richard Hagen), told the family that Eddie’s essay was a section of a famous author's book. Eddie w as not allowed to explain the situation. His friend, Ann, played bv Marjorie Hag-man, nevertheless remained loyal. The climax occurred when Professor Merritt, Mrs. Granville and Miss Dalrymple played by Virginia Moore and Charlotte Jorgensen, respectively, came to sec Eddie corrected. Uncle George steps in and straightens out the situation. The second prize winner was Eddie. Mr. Granville’s son, Tommy, (Wally Eundahl), his teacher (Velma Swanson) and Bettv Jane Nelson as Sally, completed the stimulating drama. [231

Thirteen seniors, each chosen by the faculty, forms the 1939 Society with Miss Boehne as the adviser. The members chosen last spring are Harlan Pcrbix, now president; Ethel Bertels, acting vice president; Phyllis Gardner, secretary; Vernon Kowalskv, and William Johnson. The eight new members elected this spring arc Robert Geer, Ardith Larsen, Arvis Brokl, George Svoboda, Clayton Olsen, James Rochl, Donald Block, and Donald Davis. Eligible candidates to this Society must stand in the first fourth of their respective classes in scholarship. Character, leadership, scholarship, and service arc the fundamental things taken into consideration in the selection of these members. No honor conferred bv the school excels that represented by this Society. It represents the fundamental objectives for which schools arc instituted and gives recognition to those who have attained most nearly the desired ends. The aim of the Society is to hold before the school such motives as shall induce others to aspire to scholarly habits, enlisting in worthy service, and leading forward in all things that shall advance the welfare of the school.
