Tom Harrington, a profes- sional liar, and Reginald Black, his stand-by, live here. Tom has lied to his father about his many scholarships and is dumbfounded when he learns that his father and his sister are coming to see him. The plot thickens when Tom and Reggie make a freshman act as a professor to strengthen Tom's falsehood. Further complications arise with the arrival of Marian Devenant, her father and the real Professor, whom Tom pawns off as the freshman. During the course of this, however, Tom and Marian find out they are that way about each other, as does Reggie and Ruth. The surprise part of the play is when Mrs. Wiggins mistakes the mere asking for a smoke by Marian's father, as a proposal of marriage. As in most plays, it comes to a happy conclus- ion, with the Japanese houseboy clearing Tofm of all his lies by merely saying, the only word he can say, Yis! OPINION- Highly entertaining with good performances by the whole cast and outstanding direction by Mr. Rasmussen. Put it on your must be remem- bered list. 1NELDA HEBDON -CLARA JENSEN ' THE RODEO-1940 suxnsuuss-sus-nsnxususn asuxnsnsususu use -5.15 High School dramatics. . .

The ruler got her foot into it, inch by inch, and instead of helping her out, the stamp stuck to the envelopes and let the pen- holder. The keys were in a bunch, so the pencil lead them away and let the paper weight. At this stage of the battle the paper knife stepped in, cut out the fight, and silence reigned supreme! There was once a Scotchman who was told by a physician that he would not live very long and as he lived many miles away, he decided to return immediately before dying. When they had gone many miles, the con- ductor, who had been watching him noticed that he would get off at every station. Finally the conductor asked him what he was doing and he said: Well, the doctor told me that I wouldn't live long so I am not buying my ticket clear through. 5 useuxnsusnvsnsclxnuxnsnssnsnsnsasunsansnxnIsnmsnsuns:us4nsmus4ns4vs.4ssn-s4nsnnsnsx4wsnsLnvs4nQ4vQ RIGBY HIGH SCHOOL - This Page Sponsored By CITY FLORAL SHOP, Phone 1219, Idaho Falls, Idaho

The first play was the familiar one-act tragedy by Eugene O,Neill W'here the Cross is Made. The tragedies that occur when dictator- ships rise to power were shown in the Essex Dane play, When the Whirlwind Blows. Gloria Mundif' a fantasy, and the contest play, was also presented. This play, by Patricia Brown, had for its setting an insane asylum. The plays owe their success to their fine casts and the able direction of Richard Rasmussen. -fx1ux4.snns.1Q--xnsusn-sns.usux-axuse-xnsnsus-nsnsnsnsansnxnx-ns Tbiv Page S 120 -THE RODEO-1940 vorrd By .
