THE MEDINIAN SYNOPSIS OF THE STORY Cherry Adams and Ethel Grant, tired of a life of society, decided to spend their time raising cherries, much to the disgust of Ethel’s Aunt Margaret. One of Joe Meadow’s agents has been trying to purchase from Cherry a lot which adjoins his cannery in Bayville, on the other side of Stony Ridge. Cherry refuses to sell the lot because Joe will not pay an adequate price to the local cherry growers. Cherry in anger, threatens to shoot the next agent Joe Meadows sends. This threat thoroughly frightens Jack Wessler and Chipley Henderson, who are dis ' guised but who are really Mr. Meadows, agents. Many complications follow. Jack Wessler, who is impersonating his brother Bob, finds himself confronted by Bob’s unknown wife, Flossie — there are some tempestuous scenes between Frits Koogel, the thrifty German, and Vinie, the goodmatured colored cook, adds humor to the action, while Connie and Sammy keep up the romantic end of the story. Finally, all the tangled threats are straightened out — Jack falls in love with Cherry, whom he tried, from the beginning, to fool — Jack and Chipley are discovered — Stony Ridge is crossed — the lot is purchased, and all ends happily. Poem By Walter Thomas The time has come to pass When we are the graduating class; Our high school days are ended, And our lost time can’t be mended. Four years of fun and work, And temptations were on the lurk; But we faced them one and all, And never once did we stall. It’s hard to look back on the days we wasted, And how our teachers worked in vain; But those good old times are past, And we’ve moved into the outer world at last. Let’s work our way to the top, And if the road is rough and long; Don’t get discouraged and stop, But struggle onward, brave, and strong! Twenty ' Eight
