, '- IL.. Because Richard Dill had to leave hurriedly on a business trip, he advised his spoiled children by letter that a new stepmother would arrive during his absence. Horrors! Grand- mother Dill and the children, Carol and Rodney, high school youngsters, and Doris and Dudley, the Dill twins, are perfectly furious and determined to get rid of NStepmaman in short order. But no matter what the young Dills and Gran tried to pull, Ustepmaman was more than a match for them. The way she fright- ened them with her pet python, Percy, and some of her other' antics were enough to keep the audience in stiches. Arnica, the colored maid,finally left for Birmingham, Alabama, because she didn't like daffy folks. As a final resort, the Dills told Stepmama that their father is in financial difficulties in the hope that she would divorce him. But instead, Stepmama ordered them all to quit school and go to work. She looked through the Nwant adsn and found them the most mcnial jobs--dish washer, hotel porter, and street cleaner! She said they would take in boarders, and Gran would do the cooking-wmuch to the aristocratic old lady'S horror. Then cousin Maude Maddox arrived--she is a kind, sweet person whom the kids and Grandma go for in a big way. If only Father had married someone gentle and refined as cousin Maude! The play had a surprise ending in which their so-called Wgtepmaman was really cousin Maude, and the person they thought was cousin Maude, was their stepmama, the kind, gentle, loving woman they all loved.

The class of 1952 began school on August 27, with thirty-five students Of course each student was very happy for this was the beginning of the last year of school. The following Monday the high school began a contest on selling Broadcaster subscriptions which was won by the seniors. we sold SI6T.SO2worth which was an average of Sh.79 per person. Our reward for all of this was that on September S, we got to go to the State Fair in a school bus. Boy! that ice cream we had on the bus on the way was really delicious. One nice Thursday evening, September 20, we had a skating party at the Idyl'Wyld Roller Palace in Marion. About everyone in the school was there since it was our first one of the year. But, of course, I think that we enjoyed ourselves as much if not more than anyone else. The following Thursday, September 27, the Dixie Four, commonly known as Ulour Vutual Friends,0 sponsored a program at the Community Hall. They put on a very entertaining program. We still have the piano even though he couldn't place it to suit himself. The boys played against the freshmen boys in a game of baseball on September 28. It was 5 good gameg we won by a score of 7 to 6. Something must have happened to our boys on October 2, because when they played the junior boys, they lcst with a score of 18 to l. There was a contest between the girls and boys on selling tickets to the Dixie Fourg so the losers, the boys, on October 8, sponsored a weiner roast at Clear'Water Park for the girls. It wasn't too cold as long as you were in the building by the fire, but oh, brother! if you got very far away you practically froze. The trouble was that the girls had to roast their own weiners. The girls played against the sophomore girls in the tourney on October 10. It was an exciting gameg we only won by one point with a score of 10 to 9. The following day we beat the freshmen with a score of no to 21. we weren't able to do anything for a long time after these two games in a rowm we could hardly bend over. Paglow Studio began taking our pictures on October 12. They were pretty good considering what he had to work with. On October 17, we elected our carnival queen and campaign manager. They were: Jackie'?eaver, queen and Hubert Fitzjarrald, manager. By the way, Jackie was crowned queen, too. we presented our class play,NThe Daffy Di1ls,W directed by Miss Hallie'Wolf on October 18 and 19. The cast was made up of eleven members pf the class. The crowd gave evidence of their enjoyment.
