This delightful comedy concerned the adventures of Spencer Atwell, the young heir to the fortune of the Atwell Farm Implements of Davenport, Iowa. He was urged by his parents to go into business and continue in his father's foot- steps. He pretended a sudden fondness of art and went to Chicago. Using his generous allowance, he had a gay old time and met a girl, Kay Lindsay, who worshiped at the shrine of art. About this time Spencer's mother decided to visit Chicago to see how he was getting along with his studies , as he had written her glowing accounts of his progress in art. Kay also pressed him to see his studio, which did not exist. He finally, after combing Chicago, found an artist who was good, but couldn't sell his pictures and was being evicted from his apart- ment. Valerie Ziegler, an actress, and her fiance, Mark Warrington, a play-wright, finally coaxed Gregory Thurston, the artist, into accepting Spencer Atwell's money and letting him have credit for Gregory's art. After many mixed-up experiences the play ended happily for everyone. 26

FRESHMAN INITIATION On December l, 1948, the Class of 1953 was initiated into Little Sioux High School by the Seniors. In the evening, after a long day of obeying and bowing to the Seniors, we were entertained in the school gym. Games were played and various contests held. A delicious lunch was served, after which we all departed declaring it is nice to become a mem- ber of Little Sioux High School after all. FOOD SALE The Freshman and Sophomore Classes, on October 23, jointly held a food sale in the former cafe building. It was for the purpose of starting a Junior-Senior Banquet fund for each class. Pie and coffee was served during the sale of the donated foods. The food sale was well attended and each class realized 813.50 after all expenses were deducted. The classes are now planning to have another food sale in the near future. MARCH OF DIMES The Geometry Class sponsored a popcorn and home- made candy sale at the Valentine Festival on February ll. The proceeds of the sale were donated to the March of Dimes. S 11.50 was turned over to the local chairman. This made a total of about S25 donated to the March of Dimes Fund by the local high school this year. JUNIOR ACTIVITIES The members of the Junior Class have had a very busy year. They have taken part in many activities. With the help of our sponsor and patrons of the school, we have been able to obtain the necessary funds for the Junior-Senior Banquet to be held later. We are grateful for the co-operation we have received. The Junior play was presented in October, and holiday cards were sold by the class to further increase the finances of the class. We also have been selling popcorn, candy, and gum at basketball games. Plans are now underway for a Mother-Daughter Banquet to be held soon. 27
