Sport mana- gers were Hyla Yelle, captainballg Gladys Dodge, volleyballg Betty Roberson, basket- ballg Mary Belle Martin, hilcingg Jacque- lyn Schilling, minor sportsg Pat King, spring sports, and Lucie Jean Morris, base- ball. By means of a point system the mem- bers of the club are awarded letters, with sportsmanship an important factor. Since last year, stars have been given in place of honor letters, which are presented only to girls placing on four honor teams throughout the year. After a student has earned two letters, she is eligible for the honorarium and may wear a two-stripe sweater. On the first G. A. A. hike this year the girls trekked to Priest Point park for a beach picnic. Ninth grade girls from the junior high school were honor guests at the last hike thus getting acquainted with their future companions.

H012 S faqefn EGAL VILLA, the country home of the Chichesters, was the setting for the familiar Hartley Manners comedy, Peg O' My Heart, presented by the Junior class November 18, with Dorothy Burke in the title role and Miss Helena M.

The cast included: Jerry, that young English gentleman, Francis Walker, Mrs. Chichester, the prim English matron, Lorna Jean Johnson, her son Alaric, a throwback to the Chichester family and a dignified sort of live wire, William Powell, Ethel Chichester, the debutant of the household, Sally Marion, Montgomery Hawkes, solicitor, Don Lewis, Christian Brent, a scoundrel and a blighter, Warren Mallory, the butler, Jarvis, Dan Cushman, and the maid, Bennett, Gladys Dodge. The seniors presented their final assembly with Life, the pictorial magazine, as their theme, The audience went to a party with the cast and soon found themselves on a mystical island where a king ruled with his daughter, Princess Liz. Of course romance entered into the story in the form of a ujitterbugn who wooed the princess with great success despite the interference of an old maid aunt. The talent of the class was brought in throughout the play in the form of a sextet, trio, and solo numbers. The script was written by Jim Bronson. The four main characters were: Alice Ferrell, Princess Lizg Katherine Brown, Auntie, Warren Johnson, the king, Everett Skinner, the young man. Also woven in as a part of the assembly was the play, Happy Journey, by Thornton Wilder, which was directed by Miss Helena Jenkins. The play is of the modern variety, having no scenery.
