After tonight I defy any man, woman, or child, regardless of oge, race or coior to utter anything to that effect, I just now got home from school (it's 9:30), my hair is straight from a steam-filled kitchen, my fingers are all puckered up from washing dishes and my spirits are of their lowest ebb. We girls of the Home Economics Club cooked and served an entire three-course dinner for sixty-five guests at the annuol F. F. A. Father ond Son banquet. And con those men eat! You should have seen the barrels of mashed potatoes ond gobs of chicken that they consumed and all in the course of on hour. When we started washing the huge stocks of dishes (all of which didn't do my manicure any good) we re- alized that getting the meal wos only the start. And that's not a||—next Monday night we have to serve another dinner for the principals and coaches of the tournament schools. Serving those banquets would be plenty of work for all year, but our club really can be noticed at other times as well. Let's see, we sponsored one of the first school parties of the year on October 7. That night we nearly had some casualties; for all the girls, not excepting Miss Petschel, our adviser, come close to swooning over Eddie Howard's rendition of My Last Goodbye. We held pop corn and taffy apple sales and even had to sweep up the upper corridor a couple of times. Then there was our Halloween party and the officers ore now planning a Valentine's party and later a Spring Style Show. I'm glad I'm not one of those officers, because they're always so busy! Who ore they? Well, Loretta Neck is president, and Bernice Radke is vice-president, while Blanche Campion is our sec re to ry-1 reasu rer. | Page Twenty-Three £)►

DRAMATIC CLUB ' Sparkin' practice at four o'clock on the auditorium stage. All out for 'The Fixer' immediately following. 'Aldrich Family' will meet for final dress rehearsal tonight. It was the appearance of these announcements on the bulletin board that made me sit up and take notice. What's getting into these young folks and where's the world headed? Was this a family reunion? But now that the three plays, directed and produced by members of the Dramatic Club, have been presented, the light begins to dawn. They were given on the auditorium stage tonight, and all I can say, is Watch out Kath- arine Cornell, you and Guthrie will have to be pretty good from now on. Afterward we all adjourned to the gym for the first post-Lenten school dance. And did we swing out to initiate the nickelodeon recently donated to our school by Mr. Adrian! This one night's entertainment would have been enough to justify the group's very existence, but come to think of it, it was this same Dramatic Club that put on that extra-special pep stunt before the Westfield game. That was when Mahatma Geske, after much crystal gazing and cajoling of spirits, foretold a brilliant season for M. H. S. Cagers; and when sweet Miss Montello became Victory's blushing bride. Methinks those Thespians must have loads of vim, vigor, and vitality in addition to their dramatic ability and be a source of pride to Miss Swiggum, their ad- viser. I'll see them again sometime.

Am I glod to get home in one piece. Attending the class play was like doing Christmas shopping the Saturday before. I never did like jostling my way through a crowd and that's what I had to do tonight to get o good seat. It wos worth it, though, for those Seniors surely did a grand job on their play “Huckleberry Finn. When I went backstage after the final curtain to congratulate the cast, I found Tom and Huck gratefully pulling on their socks and Melba scrubbing off her somewhat damaged paint job. While removing curls, braids, wrinkles and mean looks, the rest argued about who were to return the borrowed costumes and furniture. None of them (with the possible exception of Miss Swiggum, the coach) seemed too glad that it was over. Their practices had been so much fun—much of which they attributed to Clara Woppinger and Tom Sawyer's four weeks' feud carried on behind the scenes. I want to preserve my program as it may be a long time before I see this same group in a theatrical again! Aunt Polly, who is so nervous Ruth Watson, her sister - Mary Jane, their young niece - Fred Raymond, in love with Ruth Melba White, colored maid at the Watson's Clara Woppinger, Deaconess of the Church Amy Woppinger, her irrepressible sister Huckleberry Finn, who loves to play pranks John Finn, his father - Tom Sawyer, Huck's pal and comrade Audrey Zastrow Ruth Colnin Marie Collins James Buchen Eleanor Geske Bernice Rodke Blanche Campion Orland Rodke Charles John Arthur Gruhlke
