. e.,LenKota Lenlfoka Plays Dramatics in Lennox High School, while not considered a major or year-round activity, pro- vides the main method of financing the various classes and organizations. The first production each fall is by the Senior class, with the Junior class giving their play in the early spring. The returns from these plays are used to pay for a gift to the school and senior expenses, and for the junior-senior banquet respectively. A third program was added to the list this year, the LenKota program, consisting of a series of four one-act plays and pantomimes interspersed with musical numbers. The True Story of Captain John Smith a pantomime, presented by mem- bers of the speech class, was a humorous take- off on the well known character. Squaring It Witli The Bossf, the second play presented by the speech class, was of a more serious nature, but with a lively tempo. These were under the direction of juDean Sletvold. l'In the Sudsf' was cast with three characters selected from among the student body, it demonstrated the proper method for a hen-pecked husband to cope with a lordly wife, and her mother, and was under the direction of Miss Grace Nichol. The faculty of Lennox High School presented the fourth play Belle and Bill, an old-fash- ioned melodrama, in the form of a pantomime. GALAHAD JONES Galahad Jones, a three-act comedy play, was given by the senior class on December 6 and 7. The play centered around the actions of a boy about 16 years of age, who visualized every- thing as it was in the days of King Arthur. In his desire to help some lady in distress and play the part of some gallant knight, he became in- volved with some rough and uncouth men who threatened his life. These men were brought to justice, and Galahad was given the credit for their arrest. The cast consisted of: Vernon Eodness as Galahad Jonesg Delores Nussbaum, Vivian Hofer, Eugene Schroedermeier, Bessie Van Essen, Delores Hillman, Ileen Timmerman, Virgil Fodness, junior Halvorson, George Carver, Lloyd Temple, Evelyn Tjaden, and Wilbur Elcock.
