pil?-I0 20 -THE l'Hll'l'l Vl VY- 1 U Il N Senior Class Play HEARTS AND HATS Hearts and Hats, a comedy drama in three acts written by Robert St. Clair, was given by the Senior Class Friday, May 13, 1938, The play was coached bpy Miss Lilian Charlesworth. Because she has very little money, and be- cause she must move out west so her mother may recover from lung trouble, Beatrice Gar- ret opens a small millinery shop in Dusty Bend, Colorado. As an assistant, she takes on Kitty Kirk, a chorus girl who has been stranded when the theatrical company she was with broke up. Justin Garret, Beatrice's brother whom they had given up for dead, unexpectedly arrives, to the great jcpy of his mother, Helen Garret. Bea- trice owes for her rent but Bob Stuart, a for- mer friend of Justin's during the war, steals the money from Willie Hoyden, the town sheik, gives it to Emma Hartman, the landlady, again steals it from her and returns it to Willie. Kit- ty falls in love with Justin who tells her that he has escaped from a Denver Sanitorium where he was placed by his cousin, Harry Hodges. Justin's whereabouts are discovered and people arrive from Denver to take him back. Kitty comes to his rescue by making him stay on the Arizona side of the State line, which runs down through the center of the store. It seems that one who is declared insane in Colorado is con- sidered sane in Arizona until he has been exam- ined in that state. How Justin eludes the law and the reason for his incarceration come out in a most startling manner. Beatrice consents to marry Bob Stuart and makes a success of her business in an unusual manner.

Friday, May May Cyrus at Starbuck ccoc, .,.,., W ednesday, May 25 24 27 Baseball practice was begun the first week of May under the direction of Coach Harris En- gebretson. Very cold weather and rain put the damper on regular practice, so it was necessary to sneak in a practice now and then. Due to the irregularity of practice the team was not able to be up to par the first part of the season. Shortly after official practice was begun those out for baseball met to elect their cap- tain. Brenton Myking was elected. The first game of the season with Wheaton ow Friday, May 6 was postponed a day due to tain. On Saturday, May 7 on a cold, bleak day Conch Engebretson took his team to Wheaton. There were many hits and errors on both sides. We were in putrid form that day and fell victim by the score, ll-3. The following Monday, May 9, We journeyed to Brooten. The first three innings found both teams tied, but later Brooten drew away and at the final inning the score stood, 9-3 with Star- buck on the smaller margin. Un May ll we went to Hancock. With grim memories of a heartbreaking defeat by Han- cock in the sub-district basketball tournament we aimed to reverse the story in baseball. Our first victory really was a victory. In the last of the seventh Hancock had as yet failed to count, but in that inning they broke loose with 2 points. Final score 11-2, Starbuck. On May 17, on a cold, drizzling afternoon we engaged Cyrus in a game on the latter's dia- mond. It proved to be a slugger's battle. Four triples and three home runs took the spotlight in hitting. The game was close from start to finish. We led the scoring in the last edition of the final inning, but free trips to the initial bag and errors on our behalf made it possible for Cyrus to emerge the victors, by the slim mar- gin, 13-12. This concludes all the games played thus far. The remainder of the games will not be publish- ed as the annual goes to press at this date. We have four games left, return games with Wheaton, Brooten, Hancock, and Cyrus. We al- so have reasons to believe that the second half tgie season will be more successful than the ll'S . Those out for baseball include the following: Marvin Hagen is the student manager, and Er- nest Hioum is the assistant manager. Pitchers Brenten Myking tcaptaini, Archie Otteson, Norman Hageng catchers, Boyd Opheim, Wal- ter Nelsong Infield, Vernon Larson, Clarmont Dahlseng, Orville Dahlseng, Henry Nodlandg outfield, Marvin Hagen, Lester Lorvig, John Anderson, Arden Brenden, Earl Person, Syd- ney Aslagson, James Erickson, Lester Sanvik, Perry Berg, Arvid Sylvester, Wally Houim and Eldred Opheim. Since the above article was written, two games have been played. One with Brooten, Starbuck emerging as victors by a score of 8 to 43 the other played with Cyrus, Starbuck won by a score of 6 to 4. The game with Han- cock was forfeited so the bucks have another game to add to their victory column.

1 9 3 S -THE CHIPPEYVAN- Page 21 unior Class Play JUST COUNTRY FOLKS This play was presented by the Junior Class on Friday, November 19, 1937, under the direc- tion of J. P. Lunstad. Just Country Folks is a comedy in three acts. Everybody knows that Seth Hemingway, the town's postmaster and model of honesty, never stole Simon Tuthill's two hundred dollars. Yet Simon, the village Shylock, accuses him. So Hezekiah Huckins, the constable, much against his will is obliged to arrest Seth. Never has Elmwood seen anything more exciting than the trial, held in the Hemingway settin' room, be- cause the Odd Feller,s Hall is stacked full of hay. All the town's leading citizens and wid- ders act as witnesses, and Uncle Abner, the oldest resident, presides over the court. A smart young feller from the city acts as Seth's counsel, and the way he shows up Simon's crooked nephew and the nephew's vampish lady accomplice makes the hearts of all Seth's friends jump with joy.
