The co-operation of the junior Class and the perseverance of the director were responsible for its success. Different members of the play cast provided entertainment between acts. One very unusual and interesting feature was the singing of Doin' What Comes Natur'lly by the entire cast. Norma and Merlin also gave a very humorous skit entitled Three Strikes and Out . The entire action of the play centered around Ma Peppin's rustic log cabin on Hog Mountain, deep in the heart of the Ozarks. Luke was in love with Ernxny but Ma Peppin'forbade him to see her because of a fued between her and Pappy Stilsby. Both Ma and Pap had Wash write to the wedding bureau for mates but Wash put Emmy's and Luke's pictures in the letters. Bridget O'F1annigan came up in answer to Pap's letter and Louis Cattaro came in answer to Ma's letter but of course they thought they were to marry Luke and Emmy. The plot was even further complicated by the arrival of the two hillbilly songbirds, Lulu and Seedie Triffet, and their manager, Sol Silver stein. After a lot of gun play, fighting, and humor, the solution of the problem was reached by the marriage of Bridget and Louis, the end of the feud between Ma. and Pappy, and the return of the Triffets and their manager to the city. This enabled Luke and Emmy to carry on their romance unhindered.

Superintendent M. H. Noragon sponsored the staff. The business manager carried on a subscription drive whereby the required number of subscriptions were sold. The entire staff and Connie Schroeder worked to secure advertisement to pay for the publication of the annual. Part of the group worked in Storm Lake, and part of the group worked in Truesdale and Rembrandt. Days of planning were spent. The staff began to set things up. Pictures for the snap- shot pages began to come in. And finally the real work began. All of the work had to be done by the staff before the material was to be sent in, because the annual was to be lithographed, and all of our material was to be com- pletely set up. But finally, after many long hours of work, many miles of typing, and many worried thoughts, the end was there. Now we could all get a good nights sleep for a change. So there you have it. Now all we need is your opinion of this book, the first annual ever published from T. H. S. We hope you like it.
