THE MUNHISKO ASSEMBLY HELITES This year, as was the custom of the preceding years, each Home room put on a program before the Assembly. Many students whose ability was unknown blossomed forth as stars of the first magnitude. From the Freshmen were found the students whose talents are going to keep the high school supplied with actors and actresses. The first home room program was put on by the Senior Report Room 17. which entertained with a radio program. Station WHOA was the broadcasting point, situated in the darkest realms in Horseyville, Idaho. Joseph Guiney, the silver throated announcer, was in charge of the program and what a sweet mess he made of it. The S. O. S. Poneys from Horseyville agonized long enough to render two dance numbers. The Checker-Slovakina Chorus was scheduled to entertain with two heart-rendering numbers, but they lost their checkers. When static interfered the station had to s’gn off to quit bothering the listeners-in. On November 19, Room IS gave a musical program, so the program said, but the Assembly Critic deemed otherwise. And the Mysterious Three—dunt esk. They weren’t so bad. Time Hies, so we must leave this end of the report. On December 3. Room 22 presented a program consisting of a few piano solos by Margaret Natcher and Mary Russell. After digesting these, a play called “Uncle Dick’s Mistake.” The acting was scrumptious with Charles Richey, William X. Schwartz, Ellen O’Neil, Madeline Waldmen. and John Vines taking the leading roles. Again and again on every Friday each room would put on its program and receive the applause or knocks, mostly knocks. Room 14 gave us something novel by producing the scientific wonders of the next generation. Some ambitious sophomore must have read the Popular Science Monthly. Late in December Mister Stone showed a picture of Washington for which place the Seniors are leaving on May 30, if they raise enough money. The Washington picture was instructive and entertaining. Again came Room 13 with a play with which they became famous, for besides giving at Assembly they gave it before a monster audience at the Carnegie Library. This play. Booth Tark-ington’s “The Trysting Place,” was produced with fine style. The cast included John Sofonce Speidel, Michael Angelo Timko, R. Elizabeth Price and others too numerous to mention. Miss Guiney’s room gave a novel court scene taken from the “Virginia Judge.” High class vaudeville acts were brought from Pittsburgh, namely. Art Laundry’s Orchestra, Barnsinsky and Coplinsky, cornetists of great renown, Trudy and Nurmi combination, alias Luretta Bowers and Owen Glass. Sam Click, the naturalized Roumanian, made his initial debut to Munhall audiences. Sam played the traps. At last we come to the verdant frosh who play within the high school grounds. Their prestige was upheld by Room 21, who entertained with a one act play called “At Seven Sharp.” The Freshmen came off with flying colors with Robert Kistler proving himself somewhat of an actor. His interpretation of an English butler was above criticism. Later in the year Rooms 22. 23, 24, and 5 gave commendable programs which proved that the frosh were not to be outdone in the field of dramatics. Thus we have outlined and given a line or two about the various programs held in the high school by the home rooms. Besides the programs given by the pupils, various men and women came in and interested us. In December Rev. Melcher of the Whitaker Methodist Church spoke to us about “Beans.” 11 is talk was very interesting and he was well applauded by the students. Among the other members of the ministerial association we had present with us were the following: Rev. Shade, Rev. Waters. Before we finish the ministers do you remember this, “Can a cat see in the dark ?” Besides the ministers who are always aftei money, we had a few railroad agents who requested that we take a trip to Alaska to remove that worried look from our visage. To strengthen their points they showed pictures of Alaska. We felt the points and the call of the wild, but neither your nor my old man is Rockefeller. During Fire Prevention Week we were favored in having Fire Chief Pfarr speak to us about fire hazards. His tales of the daring exploits of the fire-eaters would make one shiver. The final assembly entertainer of the year was Mr. Lang, of the Dairy Council. He gave his customary talk of how to be beautiful and then as a sideline he drew some pictures of two of the Seniors. Their physiognomes were a disgrace to all the good looking Seniors. The Assembly Critic sign off Cela Suffit

Blank. The program was carried out in nautical terms and spring colors of pink and white predominated. On Thursday, 28. at 6:30 p m., the good ship “M unhall , left it moorings with all on board. The number of passengers this year exceeded the number of all other years. Among the distinguished first- class passengers were the Stone and Wherry families, who were ably represented, together with the entire school board and high school faculty. The Steward. Doc Miller, who acted as toastmaster, called the passengers to dinner and a very delicious menu was served. Mr. Stone, the president of the line, entertained the guests with an appropriate movie 'Pile Sea-Going Senior,” through the courtesy of the “Cunard Line. Mr. Toy, the Chief Engineer, stood at his post and steered the ship with an enjoyable speech. Following this number, the boat musician. Michael Timko, rendered a violin solo. The Steward announced the First and Second Mates. Kathryn Watson and Ray Rutter, who gave their “Grumblings”. Miss Guiney, H. Goehring, and Miss Adams, who acted as observing passengers and pilots, gave their views to passengers on board. Purser. Joe Guiney. Assistant Purser, John Hickey, and second Assistant Purser, Irene Busch, acted as donors and gave the let-termen, who were the honored guests, their well earned numerals in Football, Basket-ball, and Girls’ Basket-ball, respectively. More entertainment was followed by selections rendered by Saul Milton Goldman, and this was followed by a forecast by Alex Wallace, the lookout. Captain Wherry concluded the evening voyage with admonitions and off to uncharted seas sailed that good ship M unhall. “WHO KISSED BARBARA” The Dramatic Club successfully presented the play, Who Kissed Barbara,” in the school auditorium. Thursday evening, May 5th. The cast was well chosen and afforded the audience merriment and laughter throughout the play. The proceeds of the play went to help build up the Athletic Injury Fund. “THE MAID AND THE MIDDY” The Musical Department of the Munhall High Scool presented the operetta “The Maid and the Middy” on Friday evening, April 22, in the school auditorium. Miss Ferrell was director and had charge of the music, while Miss Nannah supervised the lines. Miss Adams ably coached the dances. The costumes, which were very elaborate, were made under the direction of Miss Lyle. The play in general was very humorous and the cast was well supported. Much credit is due to Margaret Natcher and the orchestra, who accompanied the cast throughout the course of the play.
