The Senior Class presented 'Aunt Abbie Answers An Ad' on No- vember 15 and 16, 1940, with the following cast: Abby Ainsley, a dyed-in-the-wool old maid,---Sally Keough Luolndy Lovejoy, her maid-of-all-work, --------- Helen Ryan Horace Harter, Abby's unwelcome suitor,---Charles Hurlbut Anna Ainsley, her niece from the cit Lillian Lorraine, Anna's g1rl-chum,- Bobby Barrington, Anna's boyfriend,- Billy Barberton, engaged to Lillian, Mrs. Pruviance, a tourist, ---------- Y, ------ -Q.--. ------ Horace Harkwell, a lonely w1dower,---- Essie Ebersole, a little tattletale, --Muriel Bishop --Mildred Baker Francis McGarry ---Tom Costello --Doris Garlock ------Lester Chapin ------------Rita Shaw Director- ------------------- Mr. Charles Kaplan Our play was a hilarious comedy, sprinkled with laughs. Aunt Abby, an old maid and a confirmed man-hater, is coerced into answer- ing an ad in the 'Lonely Heartsn column, put in by a lonely widower Horace Harkwell. Anna , her niece, and Lillian, the latter's chum discover the letter, and make plans to shame Aunt Abby--to convince her that she should allow their boy-friends to visit them. Billy and Bobby take turns dressing up as the widower. They make love to Aunt Abby, and sometimes mistakenly to Lucindy, the maid. Then the real widower turns up, and is scared away. This mirth-filled sequence of events makes Aunt Abby decide to change her man-hating ways, and so ' she marries her old sultor, Horace Harter. The play, a good one to begin with, was excellently played and directed by cast and coach. In every way it was a success. -----Lois Myers BEST WI SHES 0 TO THE N CIASS CF Hill GonoonC.?Amm 2-02 Umon Svnmss

'Er-ics -A Pallas S This year Sherwood has been very fort- unate ln adding to her curriculum, a new Subject--public speaking. Under the very able leadership of Miss Griffin, this class has proved to be one of the most practical, yet enjoyable classes in school. The public speaking class has been responsible for many assemblies during the past year, and as we glance over them we find many favorable comments from teacher and pupil alike. In the heat of election arguments the class presented a very timely program--a debate--'Resolvedz that Franklin Roosevelt oe reelected pres1dent.' Although the school was evenly divided, the occupant of the White House now shows the result of the debate. Later in the fall, at the opening of the basketball season, we roused the en- 'tlre school with a spirited pep meeting, having speeches from various class members During our study of parliamentary law, we presented a very amusing assembly. We demonstrated to the pupils first a regular class meeting as found in any of our class rooms, with more bulls-eyes scored with erasers than real work accomplished, F011- owing was the correct conducting of a class meeting according to parliamentary law, and we feel our efforts have been rewarded with more frequent and better organized 'In May, Sherwood again put her name in the county speaking contest, after several years of non-participation. The six girls of the class competed at school in a special assembly to determine the school's representative. By a group of faculty Judges, Jane Power- won this nomar with Helen Keough as a very close second. Jane went to Weedsport to the county finals. Later in the month the boys had their contest, and Buddy Young won the local competition. Buddy went to Moravia to the county finals, -- and returned victor- ious with the plaque that signifies oratorical excellence in Cayuga County. Sherwood hopes to keep the plaque with future victories. Good work, Buddy. Every student in public speaking this year has felt his time well-spent, and finds that no longer is he a timid tongue-tied lad afraid to speak when asked. Rather he is glad of the chance to show by a speech what Miss Griffims Public Speaking class has done for him. ----Jane Powers C ' ff' we class meetings. Besides these assemblies the class J Z has been asked to take over when we have ESPVUWPLX guest speakers, to make introductions and ,-aa. FQ4-Z concluding remarks.
