The action of Dumb Dora centered about the Swedish servant girl, Dora, w-ho proved to be not so dumb after all.

CHILOQUIN-A three-act, comedy-drama, Tea Toper Tavern, directed by Mr, Brookman and Miss McConnell, was presented by Chiloquin High School last fall, both at Chiloquin and Merrill.

It was directed by Miss Tattan and Mr. Brookman. KENO- The Red Headed Step-child , directed by Miss Glenn, was presented by the school in November, 1932. Richard Russell brings his young daughter by first marriage from the western ranch, where she has been brought up witihout education or culture, to his fashionable Chicago home to live. The experiment proves a failure, because Bess, although in her element breaking broncos, cannot master the technique of afternoon teas among society snobs, from Whom she is quick to remove the artificial veneer of a false society. She is generous and for- giving, so when her stocks in the Anaconda rise in value, she saves her father from financial ruin and wins the favor of her step-mother, in spite of the fact that she has also won the heart of her step-sister's beau. The Belle of Barcelona , a musical comedy, was presented in April, 1933. The musical director was Miss Spath and the stage director was Miss Glenn.

The girls finally discover that the boys have deceived them, and become good friends again. Miss Dixon was director and Miss Houck stage manager. The three-act play, A Family Affair , given April 14, 1933, by the Senior Class concerns a young man whose aunt leaves him a fortune provided he marries. He tells the administrator he is married and has a baby boy. The administrator wires Dan that he will be at Dan's place in an hour or two. Dan has to find some one to pose as his wife, and asks several of his employees, but they refuse. When the administrator arrives, there are on hand three Wives and three babies, one a negro. Several quarrels result, but Dan finally receives the money. MALIN- Two Days to Marry , a three-act comedy, directed by Miss Alex- ander, was given by the students of Malin High School, on December 9. The plot develops rapidly after James Dare discovers that he must marry before his twenty- eighth birthday, just two days off, or forfeit the million dollars his father has will- ed him. Extremely funny complications arise. The 'two negro characters, Simon Chase and Emily Jane Pink, add much to the play. MERRILL-A four-act comedy-drama Oh!
