H arold Hartman XYright Q ...,,.,.Russell XValters In Penrod. Booth Tarkington depicts that ever interesting element Q in life. the harmless pranks of boy hood. Penrod Schofield's home is the setting for this interesting drama. Mr, and Mrs. Schofield are conscious of if Penrod's mischievousness and are only annoyed, but they are aware of fi' his childish shrewdness. He. therefore interprets the actions of the clever A crook. Herbert Dade. who has succeeded in hood-winking Penrod's parents 9 and sister, Margaret. Mr. Dade is scheming to filch a neat sum of money from Mr. Schofield U, and other prominent men of the town. He worms himself into their Conti- ' dence and incidently affects a great love for the beautiful Margaret. Penrod. overhearing a careless and derogatory remark of his father's re- 5 garding Mr. Dade, begins with his gang to cover and shadder this crook Dade. He is so effective in his shadowing that Dade makes a very undigni- ij fied get-away, fortunately without any of the money he was so sure of getting. Margaret's infatuation for the wily Dade naturally ends when she dis- E covers what kind of man he is. and she turns to her first love, Robert NVilliams. Thus Penrod and his gang. who are Sam XVilliams and two negroes, Herman and Verman, not only save their parents the loss of money but also D save Margaret from an unhappy union. The mischievous prank-player be- comes a great hero in the eyes of all. 5 fi ffm ?-JDf?:1'!DlE-TTIOGZTIEIF :1UL- -flora-:Julia-in-f.1unL .1Dls..'... lDl.u....JDK 'l5

W' This was the first Annual party ever held and was a great success. The evening's programme was cleverly given by dividing the winning 5 and losing classes and featuring a college athletic event.

It seemed as if the Sophs and .lun- Dancing concluded the programme and the Freshies and Seniors ad- mitted that the Sophs and .luniors were royal entrertainers. E ci SENIUR BOB-SLED PARTY ' Did the Seniors have a bob-sled party? XVell I should say so! just ask 5 Marjorie if she doesn't know how to drive horses and to ride on the radiator of a Ford. i And then the exciting arrival into the big town of Avilla! Oh Boy! Some 'J eats and how good they did taste! 5 After awakening the town of Avilla by staging a snake-dance, etc.. the Q somewhat tired and sleepy Seniors traveled homeward. All voted the party E a success and did the unusual by honoring the school with their presence the E next morning. 5 5 FRESHMEN PARTY ! u I On the eve uf March 20, about seventy-live of us Freshies came to the ly High School gym to celebrate our first party of the semester. lg Miss Beckman, as our sponsor, assisted by XYalter Trombold. furnished games which everyone enjoyed.
