This play was about Mr. Adams, who during his wife's absence had an enjoy- able evening with Dr. Fragoni's wife, only to have his wife and mother-in-law find out later. Murderous threats by Dr. Fragoni and suicide talk by Elmer added to the hilarity. We hope our satisfied audience will look forward to our Senior play.

58 THE CHRONICLE F SENIOR PLAY First Row4M. Doiron, B. Hall, N. Nutting, M. Hammond. Second RowYL. Murch, D. Polland, C. Trask, J. Hicks, K. Bailey. The Importance of Being Earnest by Oscar Wilde, was presented by the Senior Class on November 30 at the Association Hall. Mr. Keith Cunning- ham was the director. The plot portrayed the trials of a fam- ily that had difliculty in finding their relatives. The resulting mix-up of re- lations, friends and Sweethearts gave the audience three acts of amusing com- edy that featured the Bunberrying ex- periences of Kent, the mistaken identity of John, the confusion of Marie and Beverly, and the constant disapproval of Marian. The nineteenth century English gar- den, with furniture made by the shop boys, was a fitting background for the old fashioned costumes that townspeople so generously loaned.

Dear Diary, lOctober, 19501 The Commercial Club members are starting a school paper. We hear that it is to be printed by the Advertiser- Democrat and will cost twenty cents an issue. Dear Diary 1 lNovember, 19501 Joyce Wentworth, a Junior, won the Name Your School Paper Contest to- day. From now on our informative school paper will be called The-Stud- ent-Voice . Dear Diary, CJune, 19511 The three issues this year paid for themselves and were enjoyed by all readers. We hope The-Student-Voice becomes a permanent part of Paris High School. Hats off to the Commercial Club for doing a splendid job! Dear Diary, lNovember, 19513 Instead of having the Commercial Club work on The-Student-Voice this year, it is to be published by the stud- ents of P. H. S. Any student-Fresh- man, Sophomore, Junior or Senior- is interested in the school paper who may seek staff membership. Dear Diary, tFebruary, 19523 There have been three issues to date and another is due off the press soon. The-Student-Voice has brought many pictures and news items to its readers this year. It has increased its sales and made itself known to the public. Thanks should go to friends and mer- chants for their donations and to Miss Hall for her help as advisor.
