26 THE SCREECH OWL Now, everyone give three cheers for the Senior Class, and hope for some more sure, safe and sane socials, but full of rollicking, rip-roaring, riotous fun. A NOVELTY DANCE The Juniors snatched many laurels from the Seniors when they held their “Novelty Dance.” The novelty lay in the entertain- ment. There was a one act play in which Denis Famell, a battling cow boy, succumbed to the wiles of “Wild Nell”, our Leona Dudzinski. Harriet Frye was an Indian chief and Helvi Pietila her squaw. The part of the society lady was taken by Sirkka Lehtinen. Ruth Hull sang a few songs, and Marion Hines and Mae Newman, “Broadway Babies”, danced. Variety is the spice of life, and on leaving, the report was that “a good time was had by all!” “THE GOOSE HANGS HIGH” The Senior Class again put its best foot forward and successfully pro- duced “The Goose Hangs High.” The action centered about the Ingals family. Little Wieno Sneck played the part of the aristocratic grandmother ; Gilbert Garland and Alice Fearns were Mr. and Mrs. Ber- nard Ingals, indulgent parents; the younger generation was composed of Norman Walker, the eldest son, who, by the way, was the fiance of Doris Dawson, and the twins, Ruth Broad- bent and John Bellows. Helen Mark was a domineering cousin of the In- gals family, who allowed her only son, George Weaving, no joy. Alec Kule- vich was a friend of the family, and the part of the domineering politic- ians were taken by Eino Ketola and Wilho Frigard. Dorothy Allen played the part of the beloved family maid. Much thanks is due to Beau (a chow). Modest creature! He took one look at the audience and departed. Everyone wonders who Father Time was. When the curtain had been down for about two minutes showing a lapse of time and was rising again, there was a flash of green across the stage. Evidently “Tempus fugit.” The goose was in a delectable state and everyone left the hall with a good taste in his mouth. Alice Fearns, ’BO. AMONG OUR MUSICIANS At the concert of the All New Eng- land High School orchestra, composed of two hundred and fifty High School pupils, which is to be given at Sym- phony Hall, Boston, in April, the fol- lowing will represent Maynard High School : Alric French Harold Johnston Jennie Bygot Taimi Nyland

Your joke and poem depart- ments are well arranged, and the cuts make your paper exceptionally attrac- tive. “Enterprise”, Memorial High School, Boston, Mass. Congratulations on your inter esting short stories! Your paper is well de- veloped. May we suggest a few more jokes for improvement? “Reflector”, North Kingston High School, Wickford, R. I. The “Reflector” is a well organized paper. The cuts in it make it very at- tractive. Keep up the good work!

Humor from the Exchanges Eleanor Dean: “What did mother skunk say to baby skunk when they came upon a dog?” Betty Sturgis: “What did she say?” Eleanor Dean: “Let us spray (let us pray).” Next came the Freshman who blushed everytime he saw a table leg. Miss Brock: “When Jonah was swallowed by the whale what did the whale say?” T. Libby: “HI bite.” Ruth: “Why was there no card playing on the ark?” Ruth: “Because Noah sat on the deck.” Delia: “Why is a man like tooth paste ?” Lorraine: “Because you have to squeeze him to get anything out of him.” “Eavesdropping again,” said Adam as his playmate fell out of the apple tree. “Mother, was your name Pullman before you married Daddy?” asked little Jack. “No, dear,” replied the mother, “what makes you think so?” “Well, I just wondered. I saw that name on most of our towels.” A professor of math calls 8781 on the phone: “Give me five multiplied by two, add two, divide by four; seven; the square of four, halved; take one eighth of latter answer ; and make it snappy.” He: “I’ve had this car for five years and never had a wreck.” She: “You mean you’ve had this wreck for years and never had a car.”
