BETTY CROCKER AWARD Every year the senior girls are required to take a Betty Crocker test to chose the Homemaker of Tomorrow. This year Judy Miller, one of the outstanding students at MHS, was chosen. We were all doubly proud of Judy when it was learned that she had been chosen the State Homemaker of Tomorrow. A 1500-dollar scholarship to the school of her choice and an all-expense paid trip to Washington, D. C.. with Miss Grebner, the homemaking teacher, were her prizes for this honor. Again we take this opportunity to wish you many congratulations, Judy. 27

JUNIOR CLASS PLAY “Ah, sweet music?!” On the left, the entire cast; on the right, the stage crew. Three monkeys, “Hear noevil, See-no-evil, and Speak-no-evil”. The Junior Class play, “The Curious Savage” by John Patrick, was presented April 24. Mrs. Savage has been left ten million dollars by her husband, and wants to make the best use of it, in spite of the efforts of her grown-up step- children to get their hands on it. These latter, knowing that the widow’s wealth is now in negoti- able securities, and seeing that they cannot get hold of it, commit her to a “sanitorium” hooing to “bring her to her senses”. But Mrs. Savage is determined to establish a fund to helo others realize their hopes and dreams. In the sanitorium she meets various social misfits, men and women who just cannto ad- just themselves to life, people who need help Mrs. Savage can provide. In getting to know them, she realizes that she will find happiness with them, and plans to spend the rest of her life as one of them. But when the doctor tells her there is no reason why she should remain, she hesitates to go out into a hard world where people seem ready to do anything for money. The life she led there was gracious, amus- ing, and useful, while her new friends are interested in her, not in her money. Throughout the comedy the stepchildren are nearly driven to distraction by their vain efforts to browbeat Mrs. Savage. She. however, remains undaunted and leads the greedy stepchildren on a merry chase. They get mixed up in all sorts of ridiculous mishans, which end in com- plete frustration. At last her friends conspire to get rid of the in-laws, and through their simple belief in the justice of her cause, they enable Mrs. Savage to carry out her plans. She is eventually persuaded to leave the sanitorium and devote all her energies to the administration of her fund.
