Dulcy, the Wife of a struggling young jewelry manu- facturer, tries to help her husband in the big jewelry merger by inviting the Forbes family to spend the week-end in her home. Mr- Forbes, who is an irritable middle aged man, is at the head of the merger. Mr. Forbes is very much annoyed by the other guests, who were Vincent Leach, a scenario writer, who eloped with his daughter and Mr. Van Dycke, the multi-millionaire who paid close attention to Mr. Forbes's wife. Willie, Dulcy's brother, acting as chauffeur for Leach during the elopment, marries Angela, the daughter, instead of Leach. Tom Sterret, Forbes's advertising man, was also sweet on Angela- Everyfthing Dulcy did seemed to make Forbes angrier until finally he refused to take Smith, Dulcy's husband, into the merger. At this point Mr. Van Dylcke decided to help -the Smiths by forming a merger of his own and then after the Smiths had told Forbes to go to thunder it was discovered that Van Dycke suffered from the hallucination that he QVan Dyckej was a millionaire. Mr. Forbes was so pleased that Willie had married his daughter in- stead of Leach that he offered to take Smith in for -twenty-five percent- This lowered on a scene of triple marital bliss.

Alva Pedersen and Ida Markusen were old ladies in dresses with high necks, tight waists and long skirts. Vard Nelson's make up was a cross between a junk man's and a hobo's outfit. Wint Bodtker was the real kick with his preacher's outfit- Wint had everything except the Bible and Halo. Pearl Bevel was an old. fashioned Miss with curls and la sun bonnet. Edward Ruder was a gentleman of some years ago who wore, among other things, a straw hat and a four in hand tie. Gladys Christensen wore the national costume of Denmark.

',' AA I 10 INTERCLASS BASEBALL The first game of the 1927 baseball season was between the Juniors and the rest of the school. It was understood before the game that the Juniors would have a walk away due to the fact that they had most of the regular high school men. The dope was upset, however, and altho the Juniors won, it was by the small score of 4 to 3. Sogaard and Young made up the battery for the winners while Taylor and G. B-lackwell tossed for the losers. This is the third year of interclass baseball. Other ,scores were 2 to 2-Seniors-Freshmen vs Juniors-Sopho- mores. 7 to 7 Seniors-Sophomores vs Juniors-Freshmen. -.LO FOOTBALL RALLY The annual football rally was held last fall the Thursday before the Lebanon game. A large rally fire kindled the spirits of the students who marched up and down the streets chanting fthe high school yells.
