High School Operetta The high school operetta this year was a musical comedy portraying the hectic life in a studio when an industrial king de- cides to make his wife the star of his broadcast. The night of the broadcast Mrs. Krog- gins is forcibly detained and Mitzi, the telephone operator sings in her place. When the trick is revealed, Jerry the ad- vertising manager, is fired and Mitzi quits her job. Mr. Phipps, a theatrical producer, thinking Mrs. Kroggins sang, exchanged his title to the station for her contract. Discovering his mistake, Mr. Phipps is furious. Joe, the owner of the station, in- herits some money and the patent rights to Kroggins product. He then dictates a happy ending.

Working in the Mayor’s office is Wally Bolton, of a distinguished family of patriots. But as he grew up he neglected to respect the higher ideals of life and now believes in following the lines of least re- sistance. Jerry Trent arrives on the scene. Hav- ing been won over by a speech of Mayor Ten Eyck’s, she wants to be a stenograph- er in the office. On discovering that Bolton is being run for the profit of politicians, she rebels against the rule and rouses Wally’s sleeping patriotism. Together, they triumph. Junior Class Play This year the Junior Class presented “Miss Jimmy”, a three act farce which deals with the adventures of Jimmy, a college youth, who enters the dormitory of an exclusive girls’ school in search of a dress. The girls never have a chance to meet men, so when Jimmy is discovered, he is captured. To make certain there will be an abundance of men at their prom, the girls decide to hold Jimmy for ransom until his friends come to the prom. The chief of police arrives on the scene and Jimmy escapes with the aid of Droopy, the colored janitor, after promising to come back to the prom. i Bnolc Row— Tholnm Ifaxomnn Until Creamer Audrey Unabor Junior Gemmoll Front flow— Helen .Tennen Kathryn Schafer Jack Doherty Mary T.oo Adams Arthur Ditto Two I vo
