Every one of the South- eastern graduates of '37 were in the picture. Here are the roles they played: Joyce Hatfield is Superintendent of Nurses at the Never Return Hospital, and having a grand time of it. After a few more years of experience, she expects to be special nurse to the Dionnes. Merle Morton is star comedian. His jokes, recently discovered in King Tut's Tomb, have a slight aroma, verifying that old proverb, Time will tell. The leading lady is Betty Shear. She'll have you crying one minute and laughing the next. Of course, she marries the hero and lives hap- pily ever after. Before you now is the villain, Walter Spind- ler. 'Tis he who planned and executed that heartless robbery last week. You know, the one in which two-months-old Beverly Bumblebee was robbed of a bottle three-fourths full of milk. But no more robberies will occur, for we have a new constable, Norman Estep. Yes, the same master-mind who captured Johnny Sleepy- head, that ruthless murderer who was wanted for killing Time. The hero? Well, I'll tell you, it's Paul Pleasant. Of course, he's the hero. Didn't he save himself from drowning by not jumping off that 75-foot bridge into two feet of water? Didn't he save himself a good scolding by not throwing paper wads and chewing gum? What's more heroic than that, I ask you? Here is our friend, Jane Norton, as waitress in a restaurant. Well, I suppose a waiter and waitress should get along well. A scene from one of the large night clubs shows Lucille Tweed, singer and dancer. That's great, Lu, but we didn't expect it. Here's a distinguished, wealthy lady, wife of the city's richest man. She's bedecked with furs and diamonds, which are a dream come true. It's Josephine Gillette. Now this graceful dancer is Ruth Thomp- son. Her dream boat has come home, for she is top-notch in the world of twinkling toes and bright lights. Here's handsome Donald Hess, star base- ball player. He plays on the pig league team. The ball never gets away from himg it is one of those you bounce on a rubber band. He can really hit a ball, too. Evangeline Hardesty is a dancer-and, of course, every good show must have a dancer. She can dance anything from a two-step to the Charleston, and do it very well indeed. We don't mind if she doesn't stay with the piano, or has to stop and rest frequently. Neither do we mind if she gets mixed up and does a two- step in place of the clog that has been an- nounced. We know good dancing when we see it! Paul French is the dignified judge, and he severely punishes any wrongdoers. It is he whose duty it is to sentence the villain-and we certainly pity Walter. This judge has been known to give long sentences at hard labor for crimes less horrible than Walter's. Why, in one case he gave a criminal two hours in the city's largest restaurant, and forced him to eat every- thing he could lay his hands on. Bernice Roush is the judge's pretty sten- ographer, and is he proud of her ability! She's the only one he could find who could do his workg that is, take dictation at two words a minute without making more than a dozen mis- takes. And she never takes more than three days to get out a letter. Helen Woods is the landlady, one of those quiet individuals. You couldn't get her to say more than a couple thousand words if you talked to her a whole minute. In this scene you see Mike Thompson and John Bethel, handsome proprietors of the Ma- trimonial Bureau, Experience for this work was gained in high school. Now Forest Retherford, he-man cowboy of Texas. He's the latest cowboy heart-breaker of QConc1uded on page 273 awwabhhvhahwammwha-as-hahaha:-.mhzmuhhhhGSLQG DQ78whwfqhwwhhwwwawmwmw-mf-.f-if-ufeahalemewewaf-H

Oh! for the life of a sailor! The Richmondale Seniors enjoyed their annual trip to Washington, D. C., the last week of school. This annual trip takes the place of a Junior-Senior affair at Richmondale. Qzmhaaawbhwzbhmmuwmwwmamhhmhdwn Miyahhwhavhemhwhmamwwharwwewwawmvmaawn
