Bramatira The Winning Widow The Xvinning NVidow, a two-act comedy given by the Public Speaking Class of the Thorp High School on the evening of Friday, January 3, 1522, was a real success in every way. Enough was realized Iinancially, to improve, somewhat, the appearance of the stage, and also a small sum was left in unspent cash. Music was furnished before and between acts by Truman Poolton and Douglas XVilson, our Post Graduate students. The cast of characters was well chosen and all played their parts crcditably. The plot concerned a Widow, who is bringing up her two daughters as man-haters and who pretended to be one herself. Each of the girls meets a young man and invites him to come and see her at home, but they must come disguised in some manner. Accordingly the men come, only to be entertained by the widow. One of the suitors discovers in the maid his former sweetheart and cousin who voluntarily disappeared some months before, because her fathers fortune reverted to a widow instead of to her. XVhen all entanglcmonts are cleared away, it is found that the widow has received this money, half of which she promptly gives to the maid. The maid rnarries her cousin and the other young man marries the widow and the girls :ire left to find other men friends. The cast of characters was as follows: The NVidow+Mrs. Snowdon ..,........

Athletics Football The school year of '21 and 22 started with very bright prospects for athletics. For the first time in a considerable number of years there was to be a coach in the school, Soon after school started, football practice was started with only enough men turning out to make up the eleven. There was no scrimmage practice whatever, therefore the team did not do as well as it could have done. The first game of the season was played with Cle Elum at Cle Elum. The result of the game was a very disgusted bunch of players and a lopsided score. Turnouts decreased from then until the game with Roslyn at which time there were only ten men turning out. Having secured the service of a last year's player, the team journeyed to Roslyn and were again defeated. The next game was between Thorp and Ellensburg at which time the Thorp line-up played the best game of the seasons, the score being 19 to 12 in favor of the blue and white players. The last game of the season was played on the Thorp field with Cle Elum. This tinte the upper valley men were held to a 12 to 30 score and the football season was ended. Basketball Immediately after the football season clcted, basketball practice was started with a. turnout of about fifteen players. The prospects for a successful basketball Season were more promising than they were for football, as the first team was composed of five letter' men and there were some very promising subs on the second team. The hrst game of the season was played with Roslyn on Roslyn's floor and despite the Thorp line-up being heavier and taller, the final whistle blew and signalled defeat for Thorp. Score 43-14. On returning to Thorp the local team put in several weeks of very stiff practice and when the Roslyn team came to Thorp we had more confideiice of winning. The game started very well for the home team, as they Olli-Dlllyefl the upper valley players, and at the end of the first half the score was 9 to 12 in Thorp's favor. The Roslyn team came back on the floor at the end of the inter- mission with blood in their eyes and as a result the play was very rough. Despite the fact that the ball was in Thorp's end of the gym practically all the time there was some very poor shooting done, only one basket being made in the last half, and again the final whistle spelled defeat for Thorp. Score 14-16. -28-.
