PAL RITE NOVEMBER 6.1941 HIGH SCHOOL PLAY IS. WELL PRESENTED Netted Nice Amount For H. S. Athletic Fund The first high. school play of the year was presented in the high school auditorium Thursday and Saturday nights of last week to good sized au- diences, which were well pleased with the entertainment. The play, The Black Derby was a murder mystery, with the tragedy well concealed from the audience, but with plenty of mystery, spooky thrills and humor in evidence. Only in the last moments of the play did the identity of the murderer, the Cobra , become revealed. In the meantime there were plenty of goings-on in the old house re- ceutly occupied by Ted and Jane Bronson Uohn Anderson.j Clyde Burton, masquerading as Tom Randall, a college boy, finally proved to be the villian, with Mrs. Benlow, the housekeeper tBarbara Powerj as his accomplice. Beulah Clarke as Betty Kay, pos- ing as a society girl, and Warren Rice as Mickey tnobody speciall, were the two secret agents who trap- ped the cobra. Of course this was accomplished only with the help of the detective Wimple tRobert Tay- lorj who not only lost his black derby and coat in the process, but was actually captured, bound and deposited unconscious in the corner of a dark closet by the mysterious cobra. Intimately connected with the plot also were Cora Kipper, the maid tvirginia Geel and John, the chauf- feur and caretaker fMilton Suck,j The entire cast put on a. very cre- ditable performance, Between acts were musical num- bers including vocal duets by Mar- jorie Scott and Dorothy Curren, with Lorena Fishel accompanistg quartet by Dorothy Weber, Maxine Anderson, Gwendolyn Rice and Shirley Harris, with , Marjorie Rudolf accompanist, duets by Sue Golden and Lorene Herring.

The squirrel is very busy- Getting ready for the snow, So this winter he can eat and sleep, When the north wind has to blow. The great oak stands upon the hill, Its limbs so brown and bare- When once it held so proudly. Leaves rustling everywhere. The pumpkins, yellow on the vine, Are being gathered in- The corn ears dangling on brown stalks, Will soon 'be in the bin. So we bid farewell to summer, Whose green has changed to brown- And soon we will be seeing, White snowflakes coming down. -Laura Christensen The little girl was informing every passenger of the fact that she had a new little baby brother at her house. That's fine, said one and thinking to be facetious, went on to ask slyly, and is he going to stay. I think so, was thevreply, Any- way, he's got his things off. NOVEMBER 13,1941 Armistice Program G'ven At School House Tuesday A very nice Armistice program was given at the high school audi- torium Tuesday morning at 11 o'clock to which the public was invited. It was conducted by the American Leg- ion in co-operation with the school. Mr. Paul E. Kenny gave a very good address. The new high school band furnished music. GETTING READY FOR THE JUNIOR PLAY WHICH WAS GIVEN BEFORE LARGE AND APPRECIATIVE AUDIENCES THURS. G. SAT., DECEMBER 11-13. The Juniors have selected as their class play, a three-act comedy, called Don't Darken My Door . They plan to give it early in December. The cast is as follows: Roger Kent, a bachelor- . . . .Bill Greenway Rosemary Kent, his romantic niece- ....Gwen Rice Tom Garrick, her persistent suitor- ....Everett Scott Poppy Foster, maid of all work- ....June Forbes Alec Stebbins, PoDpy's devoted swaln ....Roy Walling Jane Perkins, a writer of romances- .. . .Elma Burton Louisa Featherstone- Susie Featherstone, maiden ladies- ..Evelyn Newman, Maxine Anderson DON'T DARKEN MY DOOR The Juniors are still working on their play, Don't Darken My Door and will give it Thursday and Satur- day ot this week. The plot is as fol- lows: When a girl reads too many ro- mances, what chance has a mere man to win her? Rosemary tGwen Ricel wanted a lover like the ones in Hearts Aflame and she had no time for Tom 1Everett Scottj. Her admiring maid, Poppy, tJune Forbesl felt the same way, in fact she read the same romances, and poor Alec, iRoy Wallingl was in despair over Poppy's sudden coldness. Then the author Ollma Burtonj of the roman- tic books appears. She is a maiden lady with a kind heart. She sets PAL ERITE about repairing the damage her books have done Under her direction Tom and Alec are soon spouting ro- mantic speaches and making a hit with the girls. There are strikingly funny scenes as Tom is coached in love-making. It is still funnier when he makes the speeches he's been practicing. Two fluttery spinsters lMaXine Andersonl and tEvelyn Newmanj from the neighborhood keep a thrilled eye on the romantic go- ings-on, and even Rosemary's bach- elor uncle fBill Greenwayl begins to notice the good qualities of the author he is entertaining. We guarantee you it will be a full evening of entertainment with lots of laughs. The admission will be 10c. 15c 25c plus tax. -Elma Burton DECEMBER 11,1941 UPPER GRADE PROGRAM The fifth, sixth, seventh and eightb grades will present the operetta, The Christmas Bazaar' on December 17 at eight o'clock.

THE WIND The wind blows and blows and blows It blows the rain and blows the snow The wind blows over land or seag Over the hillsg And through the trees. It blows the kitesg And turns the mills, Every morning over the hills. And at the setting of the sung It thinks it is having fung When it blows the chicken's feathers, And makes the turkeys run. -Burdette Newlon FEBRUARY 5, 1942 Movies To Be Shown In High School Assembly Friday afternoon four short movies will be shown in the assembly of the school house.
