Carol Lundqu1st,VVaxnc Eggers, Larry Felle: Cazmelzta Myers All-School Play At eight P. M. Friday, November 20, 1953, our all-school play Great Caesar's Ghost was presented. When Phineas Farthingale fLarry Fellerj comes to visit his niece Helen Maxwell CLoraine Naevej, he brings with him the fun-loving temperamental ghost of an old Inca chiefwhom Phineas once befriended in South America. Helen is having trouble convincing her mother that Tommy Tucker fBob Wyattj is the one boy for her. When Phineas, Aunt Polly CNancy Bengtsonj, Helen's goegetting aunt, and the Ghost all start to help her, it's hard to imagine all that develops. Mrs. Maxwell CCarmelita Myersb and her scatter-brained friend Mrs. DeRoyster CJanet Grauj are the victims. Before the Final curtain falls, there is trouble also for Dick CWayne Eggersj, ri neighbor boy: Hattie QJudy Markleyb, the cook: and Deborah De- Royster CCarol Lundquistj, who has until this time been under her mothers domination. When Esther QMartha Bennettl, the cute little maid, is hypnotized by Mahjah CTom Lyonsj, the mysterious mystic, the audience had the time of their lives.

E. Belt, sponsor. The Hi-Y adopted the national motto as their watchword: To create, maintain, and extend throughout the school and community, high standards of Christian character . The membership fee to join the Hi-Y is fifty cents. Most of the club's operating ex- penses come from the money that they receive selling refreshments at the home basketball Thirty-four games. This year's Hi-Y is not so active as it has been in the past, partially due to the small membership. Because so many of the boys participate in sports and other activities, only twelve members could be enrolled, However, these fellows hold meetings every other Thursday. On Thursday, January 21, the Hi-Y had a potluck supper. This event was so popular with the fellows that plans have been made to hold a dinner every three weeks. Another activity enjoyed by the members was the privilege of swimming in the pool at the Y.M.C.A. every Wednesday evening. CARL E. BACH - SHAW .IEWELERS
