Kg? V'4 'l i lfi l' 'O' 'i'i i' 'P 4' 'I' 'Y 'L Synopses of Class Plays SENIOR CLASS PLAY HSPEEDING ALONG The play slips into first gear right at the start, with plucky Bobby Larrabee running a resort store to support her grandmother and Wuggins, and at the same time trying to prove that the Larrabee Motor for speed boats, the invention of her dead father, is the best of its kind. The play slides into second when Paul Stevens, who has entered a boat in the annual race tries at the same time to win Bobby's affections and prevent her friend, Mr. Hathaway, from winning with the Larrabee motor. Paul's high-hat friends from the fashionable end of the lake make things move faster by snubbing Bobby and other people at the Cove. By the time the mysterious Jack, a fellow who lives like a tramp but acts like a gentleman, puts in his hand, the play is speeding along in high throwing waves of comedy and drama. The speed mounts and complications thicken until Bobby is left tied and gagged behind the counter of her store while the returns of the race begin to come in over the radio. The mysterious Jack frees Bobby and in the eleventh hour wins the race. He is found to be Mr. Hathaway's son and also the winner of Bobby's heart. 1-' QQ: x W 53?

She has two suitorsg one, a prominent physician, and the other, a young artist. Dixie does not love Dr. Maitland, the physician, but she does love Guy Gordon, the artist. Floyd Abbott, the Colonel's nephew, has intrusted the money left to him by his mother in the Colonel's keeping. Colonel Abbott has given this money to Dr. Maitland Without Floyd's knowledge to invest in the Trellis Mining Company. Pauline Maitland, as sister of the doctor, loves Guy Gordon, and wishes to prevent Dixie's marriage to him, so Dr. Maitland, wishing to gain Dixie's consent of marriage, plots with her. He does not invest Floyd's money and threatens to tell Dixie of the Colonel's investment and also of her past, of which she knows nothing. He then tells Dixie that he will expose her father as a thief if she does not marry him. She finally consents to marry Dr. Maitland in order to prevent this. Every- thing goes splendidly until the evening of the wedding. Guy Gordon, arriv- ing unexpectedly, comes upon them as the ceremony is about to start. Guy Gordon has inherited a large sum of money and the Trellis Mining Com- pany. Dr. Maitland is discovered to be a scoundrel and his plot is unfurled. The play ends with a double wedding. Dixie marries Guy Gordon and Floyd Abbott marries Angela Maitland, another sister of Dr. Maitland. i -lknr 4- HI- -I--,Jlgi.i----31.5-, -O--,4L.dn.4gaA-:li-, HIL +,-A-4-14 -l- -l- -tl -IL 424114--4s A1

TRACK Starbuck High School had its first track team last spring. In the meet between the students to determine who should go to the district meet at Herman, Olaf Wollan, Kermit Wollan, Franklin Noyes, Howard Jorgenson, Melvin and Rueben Olmeim and Robert Merrill won these rights. At the district meet only three contestants from Starbuck placed. Olaf received third place in the discus throw, Franklin took third place in the hundred yard dash and Howard took second place in the pole vault. These three participated at the regional tournament in Moorhead but did not place. In the class meet Olaf Wollan received a gold medal for the highest number of points, Kermit Wollan received a silver medal for second high- est and Franklin Noyes received a bronze medal for a third place. Although track is young at Starbuck we know future teams will progress rapidly and be a credit to our school. DECLAMATION Three contestants were chosen to represent each division by a prelim- inary contest held in the high school assembly. They were: Jeanette Ing- varson, Mable Nelson and Geneva Larson in the dramatic division, Ebba Swenson, Clara Aasen and Gerhard Wold in the humorous division, Arthur Barsness, Eldred Nelson and Torben Brenden in the oratorical division. The contest was held in the high school auditorium. Geneva Larson, Ebba Swenson and Torben Brenden were the winners. They went to Ben- son to compete with declaimers of Morris, Benson, Hancock and Cyrus. Here Torben received second place and Geneva and Ebba placed third. JUNIOR'SENIOR BANQUET 1931 The school auditorium represented a fascinating Pirate Ship when the juniors entertained the seniors and the high school faculty at a recep- tion Friday evening, May 15. A canopy of crepe paper streamers skillfully attached to a rostrum gave the appearance of a ship's deck which was entered by a gang plank. Colored lanterns, rustic chairs, fur robes, kegs, sawdust and treasure chests, made the scene a veritable deck. In the banquet hall immediately adjoining the ship's deck the tables were decorated with items symbolic of pirates, such as pirate dolls for place cards and treasure chests for nut cups. Eight junior boys, dressed as pirates, deftly waited on the banqueteers. Ralph Swenson, the toastmaster, as Captain Kidd, cleverly introduced the following numbers on the program: Winds , played by the Junior Class Orchestra, a toast Galleons by Kermit Wollan, a toast Cross- bones by George Auneg a song 'We Are a Reckless Band by the Pirates Bold, a toast The Crew by Supt. Peterson, a toast Gang Plank by Marian Nelson, a song Sailing Along by the Mermaids. As a final num- ber each one drew for his Hidden Treasure, which was found to be a pre- diction of the future of each senior. . I I Much of the success of this banquet is attributed to Miss Foss, Junior class advisor, and to the Minnewaska Ladies Aid, who catered willingly and efficiently to the rovers. The event has ended but the pleasant memory lingers on.
