him after looking at those models, From the peace and quiet of the Seashore, the scene flashes to a circus, with the noise and bustle. Who is that yelling, Cotton Candy-for the old as well as the kiddies? Yes, it's still that same big mouth attached to Lolita Worrell. What have we here? Jungles and undergrowth of all descriptions. Appears to be Africa. Wait, here's a clearing. - In it there's a hut around which four small children, three boys and one girl, are playing. Oh yes, coming down the steps is a lady with blonde hair. Accompanying her is Rev. Staggs, a missionary in the wilds of Africa. His dream of that blonde, three boys, and one girl went with him too. When I look deeper into the crystal, I see a small white cottage with green shutters. Playing in and around the flower beds are five boys. Sitting on the porch steps are Lavella and Claude McMillan. Finally they tied the knot and now, although they can't keep the numbers popping on the score board, they have a basketball team of their own to follow in their footsteps. And with that the crystal ball becomes a blank. Junior Pla The inauguration of the 12 year school system eliminated the senior class for 19493 therefore, the juniors took over the duty of presenting a play during the spring semester. Soon work was begun on the selected play, Oh, Aunt Jerusha , which included a cast of ll boys and six girls. Miss Jerusha Jebb, portrayed by Marjorie McNeill, and Uncle Billie Baxter, played by Joe Woods had been sworn enemies ever since 'way back in the umpty-steen when, upon the eve of marriage, they quarrreled and parted at the altar. So bitterly does their fued rage that it threatens to blight the love affair of Miss Jerusha's niece, played by Marie Stewart, with Uncle Billie's nephew, Junior Staggs. A political campaign and the antics of an impish little girl, Boots Anderson, and a fat colored mammy, Lavella Powers, soon turn the action into a grand free-for-all in which cupid gets badly mauled. Then a miracle happens and the merry farce ends to the tune of wedding bells. In the second act, the characters of the play hold a political rally at which they stage a baby contest and a chorus girl's act. The chorus girls, in frill cos- tumes were portrayed by the junior boys with Claude McMillan taking a leading part. All the proceeds went to the general school fund.
