Gathered here were the McCulloms, Burbanks. and some friends. George Burbank tolerates no one hut a young fellow of brawn and daring as candidate for the hand of his daughter, Betty, who is already wooed, much to his annoyance, by Harold Post, a young man of just the opposite type. Burbanks' friend, McCullom, a movie magnate, proposes to stage a spectacular flying stunt by a young aviator, Joe Bennett, who has applied for a job in the movies, and offers a prize to any amateur who will make a parachute jump. Jim Carter, Harold's friend, seizes on this as the young man's chance to make good, and puts forth various alibis which will prevent Harold's actually going up, while gaining the credit for bravery. One by one these alihis fail. Finally, Harold is forced to go through with it in spite of himself, and by mere luck manages to maintain his reputation as a dare-devil, to gain the enthusiastic approval of Burbank, and to win the girl of his choice. The Boys' Chorus, Old Fashioned Girls, Tennis Girls, Modern Girls, Mexican Dancers, and the High School Orchestra added color and attractiveness to the play.

THE SENIOR CLASS presents A DILEM MA The three act farce, A Dilemma, was presented by the Senior Class on Wednesday evening, March 16th. Ned Pembroke, the reckless and wealthy youth who wrote love letters to the designing chorus girl, Vera Vernon, caused a real vexatious predicament when he sent his friend, an attorney, to steal the letters to prevent Daphne, Ned's financee, from hearing about his affair with Vera. Unfortunately, as you remember, the attorney, George Howell, got his grip mixed up with the grip of Nicholas King, who had stolen the ruby neckless from Mrs. Pembroke, the mother cf Nod. Not onl, were the situations screamingly funny, but the lines of Susie, the maid, and Miss Winnecker, the aunt, held a fund of humor. A more clever or funnier play has not been seen for many a long day in Tipton High School. A Dilemma was certainly a house full of laughs, and was one of the outstanding events cf the season.

MUSIC US GLEE CLUB GlRL'S GLEE CLUB THE JUNIUR MUSICALE The Junior Musicale is a social organization comprised of girls interested and talented in music. Under the leadership of both Mrs. Chrisman and Mrs. Purvis, the club has undertaken many interesting and beneficial projects. The study of the operas has been the theme for the year's work. The annual custom of giving a Valentine Dance was observed again this year. The club has served to bring the benefits and enjoyment of music before the attention of the school. It is an organization of which we may justly be proud. The officers of the Junior Musicale are: president, Kathr5n Leistg vice-president, Vera Robinsong secretary-treasurer, Maxine Walker. THE GLEE CLUBS Glce Club work has always held a very prominent place in the curriculum of Tipton High School. Under the supervision of both Mrs. Chrisman and Mrs. Purvis, the Boys' and Girls' Glee Clubs have had an extremely active year. Besides providing advanced training in choral singing, the Glee Clubs have contributed to many programs in connection with both the school and community. They took part in the Music Festival at Muncie and observed National Music Week in collaboration with other schools of the county. The biggest undertaking of the year, however, was the operetta. Presented by the Glee Clubs, it was very successful and proved a fitting climax to the year's musical activities. Work during the forepart of the year was under the able direction of Mrs. Gladys Chrisman. In March Mrs. Lois Sloan Purvis, a former music teacher at Tipton, took over the supervision of the Music Department for the remainder of the year. -- 24..
