ALI. HIGH DLAY On the evening of April 30, the All High Play was presented. The pro- gram consisted of two plays, and two groups of selections by the band. The first play, Quiet Please, a one-act comedy, was the story of two brothers who were separated by a chalk line down the middle of their one room cabin, and were carrying on an old feud of silence. Local busybodies try to recon- cile them, but tail, until a young woman enters the picture. Blithely unaware of any barrier, she helps them to at least a temporary understanding. The cast: Elvin Bjork, Ambert Englund, Marilouise Dowdy, Walter Iohnston, Irene Saworth, Donna Schroeder, and Virginia McLaughlin. Esther Donnellan was irector. The second play, given by members of the Public Speaking Class, and directed by Mildred Burt, was Iacob Comes Home, a modern tragedy. The scene was laid in nazi-controlled Berlin, Germany. Members of the cast were: Freda Kershaw, Margaret Barrett, lim McClenaghan, loyce Powlison, Bob Ellis, and Stan McLerran. LIIBIDADIANS Under the leadership of Miss Burt, the student librarians have done very good and very useful work this year. lt has been their duty to prepare old and new books for the shelves, to keep the shelves in order, to repair old books that are not too shabby, to take care ot the magazines, to check out books, to receive fines, and to do other such work in the library. Also they take care of the bulletin board in the library. lt is necessary tor the first year librarians to go to a library class once a week.

I-IUNOID SDCIEIY This year the Honor Society has had no meetingsg and so no otticers have been elected. The group has thirty-two members, seven ot them being Sopho- mores, eleven luniors, and fourteen Seniors. The requirements of this group are not only good grades, but also parti- cipation in school activities. Trying to build higher standards in the school by encouraging scholarship is the purpose ot this organization. lt also tries to increase interest in fellowship. DEI? CLUB Without a Pep club, a school would certainly be handicapped. Under the supervision of Mr. Koth, Selah's club has been very active this year. The officers are Bob Cox, President, Evelyn l-lautt, Vice-Presidentg Freda Richmond, Secretary, and Dave Carey, Representative to the B. O. C. Marian Graben- stein was in charge ot making programs for the basketball games, Maurece Pisar was in charge of distributing posters in the stores, and Darlene Walker and Evelyn Smith put up the dodgers around school. For the tirst Yakima game a serpentine was formed to go through Selah. For every game the Pep club placed a sign in the hall. Theyalso encouraged good sportsmanship at basketball games by printing slogans on the programs. The Pep club also sponsored the advertising for the Music Festival, dis- tributing dodgers, dressing store windows in Selah, and handling ticket sales for the event. ln addition, advertising and ticket sales tor the All-l-ligh play were handled by the Pep club. FUTUIQE FAIQMEIQS IDI: AMERICA The Future Farmers of America, under the leadership of Paul Beddoe, had a busy year. Richard Matson was elected President and Alan Matson, Vice- President.
