Sophie Hudiak as the villianess, ex-chorus girl Bess in reality, planted the oil herself, in order to sell her interest in the farm. The audience was given a surprise when a real automobile Ccourtesy of Miss Geraldine Farrarl was driven onto the stage by Bobby Smith, and a few were tempted to join the actors when the inviting smell of cooking hamburgers floated our over the foot- lights. Perhaps the most fun was seeing those campers arrayed in pajamas, dividing their camp site into separate sleeping quarters, then struggling with sleeping bags and bugs. But like such stories these things are only secondaryg a woman's business is not teal estate, and love triumphs.

CAMERA CLUB The Camera Club came about in a discussion on how to improve our school in Miss Hartmanrrs social studies class. Peter Edel mentioned it as a good extra-curricular activity, and then the class proceeded with the formation of such a club. At the hrst meeting, Peter was elected presidentg Peter Camp, vice president, and Virginia Rossini, secretary. Miss Boland and Miss Hartmann are the Clubs sponsors. The thirty members of the Club are planning a Photography contest. Their greatest hope is to obtain a dark room in some empty corner of the school. HOME ECONOMICS Tuesdays and Thursdays are the regular meeting days for this all sewing, all-girl activity. There is no definitely planned schedule of work for the girls to complete, as Mrs. Nash feels that the girls all know their own needs best. At Christmas time the Home Economic Room was all a flutter with Christmas gaiety, for at that time the gals were very busy making presents, with most of the ideas coming from Mrs. Nash, who seems to have no end of good suggestions up her sleeve. Various accessories from slippers to hats are put together here, and we must admit they are pretty sharp. D. Scott, P. Paris, B. Scott, B Casey, J. McCarthy, E. Waite Carroll, H. Keeler, J.

ORCHESTRA The Cornhuskers, as this school group is termed, is composed of boys from the senior high. The Cornhuskers did a grand job playing at the junior-Senior Dance last Thanksgiving time. The boys played free of charge, and the two classes are much indebted to them. These fellows are a big help in furnishing entertainment for assemblies, always receiving a hearty hand. GLEE CLUB The schools Glee Club is most active in assemblies. Each year they put on the annual Christmas Pageant, which this year was a group of Christmas Carols in a tableau setting. g One of the notable accomplishments of the year was a program based on the music of George Gershwin and Jerome Kern, presented at an assembly.
