Who can ever forget Paul Christner as Pa Heller, or Winona Fletcher as Ma Heller. Dorothy Clapp as Louise, Neil Chapman as Willie and Elizabeth Harris as Annabelle proved to be very realistic children. Donald Rudgers as Charles, Virginia Decker as Mrs, Grant, his mother, and Duncan Nixon as Herbie Grant portrayed an- other delightful family of three, Dorothy Rubens as Miss Callahan was certainly a gossipy dress- maker. The plot is the story of the life of a typical family. Willie, the seventeen year old son, is the usual lazy, carefree boy. Louise and Annabelle, x the two sisters, contribute their share of the fam- ily's problems. Pa and Ma Heller quarrel and iight all the time but in reality they love each other. Charles Grant loves Louise, but Ma Heller not knowing this and wanting Louise to get married, attempts to bring the two together. Louise, finding out about the fantastic tales which her mother has told to Charles, breaks off the en- gagement, which has been made between the two, without Mrs. Heller's knowledge. This situation is settled by Pa. Heller, and Louise and Charles are united again. Willie turns over a new leaf and plans to return to school. Ma Heller Iinally decides that she talks too much, but this fact does not seem to bother her much. The story ends happily for all concerned.

Bennett GIRLS' SPORTS The girls' varsity basketball team. under Cap- tain Sperry. did not have a very successful season this year. Because of the swiftness and agility of the opposing teams, the Le Roy squad was often on the losing end of the score. Le Roy. however, was a plucky team and at least put up a number of good Dghts against the opposing teams. Leading scorers were Doris Dugan, Mary Mangefrida, and Bertha Sperry. The varsity L's were earned by Bertha Sperry, Doris Dugan, Mary Mangefrida, Lena Barone, Dorothy Rubens, Dorothy Starr, Doris Nixon, Charlotte Bovee and Florence Ward, manager.
