When a girl reads too many romances what chance has a mere man to win her? iRosemary wanted a lover like the one in Hearts Aflame and she had no time for Tom. Her admiring maid, Poppy, felt the same waytin fact, she read the same romancesl, and poop Alec, the gardener, was in despair over Poppy's sudden coldness. Then the author of the romantic books'appears. She's a maiden lady with a kind heart and shb sets about repairing the damage her books have done. Under the direction of Jane, Tom and Alec are soon spouting romantic speeches and making a hit with the girls. There are very funny scenes as Tom is coached on lovemaking. It's still funnier - when he makes the speeches he's been coached on. Two fluttery spineters from the neighborhood keep a thrilled eye on the romantic goinge-on, and even Rosemary's bachelor uncle begins to notice the good qualities of the author he is entertaining unaware. The finale comes with an elepement in which everybody takes a hand. and Aleshand Peppy play a good comic scene for all it's wort . l

eKVIo4IriGrt? BASEBALL Lack power at plate. Win one, lose two in short season; Playing a new wartime schedule on only three conference games per season the Vikings did not have the higting to wage a highly successful campaign, but they did salvage one game in three attempts. Our lack of success may also be attributed to some costly defensive errors in the clutch for the opposition tallied seventeen runs on only sixteen hits. Misplays under the high pressure were probably due to the fact that the team was young and lacked experience for there were only two seniors on the starting nine. Next year the same team will be out to win, losing only Lee, pitcher, and Gjerteon and Sannee, outfielders. SUMMARY OF THE SEASON The feeble hopes of successfully defending last years Southern Half championship were dimmed in the initial game of the season when Wittenberg invaded the Viking lair and walked over our boys by-a lOuZ count. Lack of hittingvathe Vikee got the small sum of three hiteur and erratic fielding were costly. The Vikings next dropped a 5-2 decision to Rosholt. The hitting was even worse this time, only two safeties were collected off Colrud,'Rosholt hurler. The boys rolled into high gear in the last game of the Season, taming the Tigers of Tigerton 7-2, Seven hits were pounded out and the team refused to bite at bed pitches with the result that they were issued nine bases on balls.

a smh v The Junior Class Production The junior class can thank Mr. Gordon, their advisor, for the sucCess of the Junior Class Production. For it was he who concluded that the Juniors were not capable ' of presenting a play to raise money to give the seniors a picnic as the preceding classes had done. Thus it was that he concocted what was called The Junior Class Production . The program consisted of a variety of entertain- ment. Some of the participants were not juniors, but they had to draw upon the talent from the other classes. The program was as follows: Trumpet duet, 0ver The Waves ;..C. Dean and B. Lee Serious Deolamation,?TheVWheels-of-T1me M.Knutson Girl's wuartet,Mar1e Knutson, Dorothy Sannes,Norma Otterson, Helene howe, sang a combination of Solomon Levi and A Spanish Cavalier ; also ., Neopolitan Nights . a accordian numbers ..... . ......... ..LaVerne Anderson Humorous Dec.
