Cortright M. Walter F. Dean H. Duvick K. Paulson G. Striegel “BAB. The Junior Class presented Bah,” a four act comedy, March 25. “Bah , (Hazel Duvick) a sub-deb, just home from hoarding school, greatly vexed her mother (Helen Scheidecker) by wanting her drsss cut V front and back, and by getting into one scrape after another. Bab was understixid by her father (Frederick Dean) and he helped her to obtain what she wished. Leila (Genevieve Striegel) Bab’s older sister, was greatly shocked at Bab and much worried for fear Bab would get married before she did. The Honorable Mr. Beresford (Harry Cort-right) an Englishman, who greatly amused the audience with his quaint brogue, was very much interested in Leila and at the same time learned to like Bab. Pretended letters written by Bab to a made-up man, (Carl Bend) later caused him to appear; then her troubles began. But through the help of an old friend (Kenneth Paulson) she managed to get out of it, leaving him as the hero. All the characters filled their places to perfection. This was an all around good play and was well presented, due to excellent coaching by Miss Bergland. Page Twenty-seven

Lixiking hack over the 1925-1926 year, one asks himself the question, “Has S.T. H. S. grown? There is no doubt about it the answer is a big “Yes Of the many evidences of growth, there are five which call for special mention here. One afternoon last fall, Mr. Cranor invited everyone who was interested in band or orchestra to assemble in the auditorium during the eighth hour. After explanations by Mr. Heuhn, everyone was invited to try “tooting” some horn. The ensuing din was terrific. But week after week, as practice was held, the sounds became less weird. Late in April the band made its debut at an assembly and delighted all hearers with the perfection of its art. The history of the orchestra was similar, except that its growing pains were announced with less noise. Also, its debut was postponed until the evening of the Senior Play, when its pleasing melodies added greatly to the success of the occasion. In the office, two important reforms were inaugurated. Letters were substituted for figures in giving grades. At first, this was regarded by students as a disadvantage, but later, on becoming used to it, they admitted its fairness and superiority to the other system. The other change was in the use of large white absence slips to replace the small pink or yellow variety formerly in vogue. This was particularly approved of by yellow slip devotees, who thus gained the right to appear as innocent as anyone else when presenting slips for absence or tardiness Another activity that is to be given much credit is the debating club. When the call was made for debaters last fall, several students summoned enough courage to tread the new ground. They worked faithfully under Mr. Croft's instruction and won second place for us in the triangular debate between DeKalb, Mendota and Sandwich, on the question of a separate air craft department. The teams that won the glory were as follows: against Mendota- Helert Scheidecker, DeLacy Smithers, and Henry Werner; against DeKalb—David Gray, Eli bcth Morey, and Ruth Cortright. There was also an inter-scholastic contest between the Juniors and the Seniors on the same question. It was a very close contest, but the Juniors earned off the spoils. So we have grown during the past year, due to the courage of those brave souls who ventured to try new ground and were successful. Page Twenty-six

Shales ‘ THE THIRTEENTH CHAIR Instead of giving a comedy, as has been the custom of previous classes, the Seniors this year presented a thrilling mystery, The Thirteenth Chair.’ From start to finish the audience was kept in shivering suspense. The seance, (played in the dark), the mysterious murder, the clever detective work, and finally the appearance of the ghost and the missing knife, made this one of the most intensely interesting plays ever presented by S- T. H. S. Weeks of hard work were necessary in putting on this production. The cast deserve congratulations for presenting a new and difficult type of play. Page Twentyeight
