Senior Play . . . AUNT SAMANTHY RULES THE ROOST This clever farce was given by the Seniors on April 12. Its plot centered around three old maids who had no patience with love-sick young girls, until Polly, the maid, caused them to imbibe love powders in lemonade. Such goings on , as followed kept the audience in spasms of laughter throughout the play. The play was well coached by Mr. Putnam and managed by Miss Lirhus. Mrs. Garrigus made up the cast.

T reasurer The primary purpose of the Girls' Club is to promote friendship among the high school girls. Each older girl is responsible for a little sister among the younger girls, whom she instructs in the traditions and customs of the school. A Girls, Club room has been the pet project this year. They have painted and varnished, prepared window boxes, made drapes for it and kept it in order. Money was raised for this by candy sales. Some girl had charge of the girls' room every period of the day. Another project was a Christmas box of food and clothing for the needy. Four delegates were sent to the Girls' Club Leaders' Conference at Hoquiam, April 27. Outstanding among the social events of the school year was a Girls' Club Valentine Party. Meetings are held once a month. Miss Lirhus is Girls' Club Adviser. Next year's officers are: Marian Burr, presidentg Elsie Holderreed, vice- presidentg Betty Blechschmidt, secretaryg Rosemary Holderreed, treasurer. Librarians . . . This year is the first that the high school has boasted a corps of trained librarians. They have niet every Monday for study, with Mrs, Garrigus as instructor. One period of library work is handled by each librarian daily. These librarians have learned the essentials of cataloguing, shelving, classi- tying, and circulating books, Special study has been made of reference work, which is one of the heaviest duties of a high school librarian. l25l

Speedy Marshall, just out of college, with high-powered cars and airplanes to play with, while evading a cop, gets himself interned in an asylum for mild mental cases. While he is in there he meets the beautiful Lois Meredith, whom he has tagged all over Europe. With this beginning, the play grows funnier until the last curtain. A serious element was present as well, in the form of a rob- bery and a kidnaping. The natural ability of the characters, combined with the able coaching of Mrs. Garrigus made the play a huge success. Miss Lirhus managed the play. l27l
