The Dukes Children Time-1912, in late September. Place-Mrs. Perrington-Shine's country home about thirty minutes from Philadelphia. Occasion-A house party at the Lee-Early wedding. SYNOPSIS Prof. Spiggot gives Brighton for a wedding gift, a marvelous Egyptian scarab. Under its evil influence, Brighton is blackmailed by a former flame, the susceptible Billy finds himself engaged to three ladiesg the professor is accused of bigamy and Dun, the burglar, is caught. Matters straighten out when the scarab is buried. Junior-Senior Banquet The Seniors will never forget May tenth when they were royally and highly entertained by the brilliant Junior class at the very solemn annual Junior-Senior banquet which was held in the high school auditorium. The auditorium was beautifully decorated by the keen-minded Juniors. A very unique idea-a sailor scene-was carried out. It was so gorgeously decorated that it made you feel you were Long John Silver himself. The placards were made es- pecially for the occasion, they were small sail boats. The programs were very ar- tistically decorated with skull and cross bones. The stage was decorated with a pirate scene. In keeping with the decorations the girls wore white sailor dressesg the boys, white trousers and dark coats. After the dinner was served, a delightfully entertaining program was presented by the members of the Junior class. Remarks by Mr. Simpkins and Mr. Hutton provided some of the entertainment. Besides the members of the Junior and Senior classes and high school faculty, Mrs. Robert Hutton and Laura Emily Simkins were present. It was another of those highly interesting unforgettable events of our thrilling high school days.

MR. THOMAS, INSTRUCTOR I Orchestra Our school orchestra started four years ago under the direction of Prof. Ossman. In our first two years many were interested but few participated. The orchestra furnished entertainment for school plays and other school activities. Due to the resignation of Prof. Ossman, Mr. Thomas undertook the directing of our orchestra. We feel the next years were well spent because more interest was taken and more players wer added to our number. This year we and our faithful leader showed much interest and progress. We played for P. T. A. Meetings, School Plays, Chapel Programs, Farmers Institute, and other activities. The Arlington Band also directed by Prof. Thomas, favored us by helping en- tertain the people at the Farmers Institute. On March 15, we journeyed to Liberty where we played at the literary program. Not always did the entire orchestra furnish the entertainment, but various members entertained with solos, trios or in large groups. Thursday at 10:30 was our appointed time for orchestra practice. We practiced for 45 minutes in the auditorium and everyone entering the building could hear beau- tiful music such as Military Escort, Harbor of Dreams, Home on the Range, Now the Day Is Over, and other marches and waltzes. This year we shall lose a large number of our group: Marsella Reese, Burnette Powell, Norman King, Don Clymer, and Richard Moyer. We are sorry to see them go for we will miss their fine playing. We feel that a great deal of our progress and success was due to these players who so faithfully participated, but we hope to gain many more to take their places. There are sixteen in our group this year they are as follows: Norman King ....,......,.......,,.,,......... First trumpet Don Clymer--- .,.........
