This was partially offset by the selling of pop to the classes. This year we have promoted the dances after the Friday home games and let the Seniors sponsor them. The Student controlled study halls it was decided that there was a need for a student court. This was set up to punish the violators of the study hall rules. it ,il Y nf? 4 Q-I: Advisor, D.

They've set up a noon hour schedule so all the students may partake. They've bought records with the admission that was charged which was 5 cents. We can be mighty thankful to have such a peach of a sponsor. This year the club is losing many great contributors but have promising ones in the future. uniot pfay TURN BACK THE CLOCK A three act comedy built around the universal truth that all genera- tions are more or less alike after all. In a very brief Prolog, Mr. and Mrs. Charles Hill are waiting up for their children, worried and concern- ed. Mr. Hill, a bank president and trustee of his church, is growing angry, harping on the so-called irresponsibilities of this younger gen- eration. He is reminded of some of his' own youthful ambitions and foibles, and the clock is turned back. The youngsters' problems are eternal problems of love and ambition and decision, passing enthusiasms and fads. And all are solved in hilar- ious fashion as usual. Evelyn .............. .....

Since Bob's parents made him break the date with Carrie, she offers to baby sit with Junior, who is a holy terror, to prove her capabilities. She finds this more than she can cope with. Since Junior ate poisoned mushrooms, Carrie tried her best to force antidotes down him, but only turned herself against Bob's parents. After things quieted down, no one could find the words to thank Carrie for saving Juniors' life. As the play comes to a close Carrie's dream comes true as Bob, her one and only, takes her home.
