After the bride and groom have slipped away, conversation turns to the most sensational news item of the day-the courthouse trial between Freda Roesli and Willis Over. ACT III Scene 1: Court Room of the Pierce County Court House. Judge James Chandler is presiding at the trial of the Swiss Consulate vs. the National Broadcasting Company. Freda, the fighting Swiss, is suing Willis Over, president of the radio concern, for broadcasting too many jokes about the Swiss Navy. The next case to be tried is a breach of promise suit. Miss Iola Royer, private secretary for Bob Swannack fthe millionaire, who rose from paper boy to oil kingj, is suing Tom Hendricks. Mr. Hendricks states that he has never kept company with Miss Royer. Mr. Swannack, however, claims that Tom came into the office so often that he had to kick him out. Leonard Fonda, prominent detective, introduces evidence that he has been gathering for Iola. Seated in one corner of the room is Red Moore, showing off his Irish in a police uniform. Another red-headed gentleman, Dayton Gustafson, the jailer, is near-by, with an official-looking ring of keys. Tony Zehnder, now a cub reporter, is covering the court news in the interest of the press, as is Valentin Panganiban. During a lull in the excitement of the trial, Dorothy Jungck, who has been managing a bungalow court apartment, is heard to remark, I had the biggest surprise yesterday! You have probably read Cynthia Grey's column in the papers. Well, I went up to see her today, and who do you think she is-Myrtle Faulkner. ACT IV Scene 1: Cluttered-up newspaper office of the Sumner Star, several type- writers are being pounded lustily. It is the office of Cynthia Grey, sob sister and Miss Fixit for newspaperdom. Myrtle: Lillian, send a letter to Loyal Hiram Davis, Puyallup, telling him that the course of true love never runs smooth-not to be discouraged even though Vivian McKee doesn't admire his ardent poetry. Suggest that he serenade her with a guitar. That should help. Lillian Homer, Myrtle's faithful stenographer, admits a visitor, Dorothea Thomas, who wants advice on how to keep her husband home at nights. Winifred Parker, the next visitor, confesses she is worried about her room-mate, Elsie Scholz, who is accepting dates from three men. Who will be the lucky man? Next comes Ed Andrews, who would like advice on how to keep his wife at home. Michel Pasquier, who is selling correspondence courses in French, also has hit the rocks with his matrimonial ship. He expects to sue his wife, Margaret Scholz, for non-support. The door flies open and in breezes Loyal Davis: It worked, it worked! Myrtle, startled: What worked? Who are you anyway, a lunatic at large? Loyal: Your advice was wonderful! She said 'yes'! Twenty-three

The door opens and Carroll Geiger, prominent haberdasher, seats himself. In a few minutes he is joined by Bill Kelly, candy salesman.

The points are as follows: honor, attitude, scholarship, achieve- ment, obedience, effort, regard for others, and generosity. The origin of this memorial is a well known story to all Sumner High School students. Mr. Layhue was a former superintendent of the Sumner Schools and died while in office. He was so well beloved by all that Mr. Case, a former Sumner citizen, decided to donate a cup to perpetuate his memory. On this cup was engraved the names of those chosen from year to year, as an annual reminder of the qualities of character for which Mr. Layhue stood. This year the names of Freda Roesli and james Chandler have been engraved upon the Layhue Cup. By her faithfulness and regard for others, Freda has won many friends. She is Girls' Club president, a two year letterman in debate, and has played three years on the Girls' Basket ball team. This year she is on the staffs of Tyee Wah Wa and The Spartan. James Chandler has been a worthy Spartan and has been active as president of the Student Body, a three year debate letterman, and as editor last semester of Tyee Wah Wa. He has taken part three years in declamation and is on the staff of The Spartan. These are but a few of the various activities in which he has participated. In former years this honor has been won by the following students: Gerald Hart, '20, Alpha Beaughan, '21, Lyle Goss, '22, Jean lVIacLachlan, '23, Dean Taylor, '24, Kenneth Vittetoe, '25, Don Darrow, '26, Mamie Baker and Harry Kuhn, '27, Freda Roesli and james Chandler, '28. Last year it was learned that the donor wished both a boy and a girl to be chosen, so from then on both were chosen. Twenty-four
