Rex Van Zile, in love with Myrtle Davis, a reformer, en- ters, hoping to meet her. She arrives with her mother and Stiles, a boozer whom she has reformed, to arrange some tickets for a benelit concert. After she has left, the three men decide to blacken Rex's reputation so that Myrtle will try to reform him. They enlist the services of their new maid, Polly Shannon, a minister's daughter, who, to earn money for vocal training, agrees to play the role of a woman with a past, with whom Rex is apparently to fall in love. In the second act the scene changes to the summer home of the Van Zile's. The plot of the previous act has succeeded. Myrtle is very much worried about Rex's Hirtations with Polly, for whom, it is rumored, a prime minister of Uruguay was killed, and the great pianist, Petrowski, committed suicide. Myrtle, her mother, and Mrs. Van Zile call Rex's uncle from New York to rescue Rex from Polly, who has assumed the name of Miss Paulette 'Bady. The last act takes place after an interim of two days. Myrtle is madly infat- uated with Rex and is determined to marry him, but Rex has decided to reveal the conspiracy and marry Polly, whom he now loves. In the meanwhile his uncle has arrived to buy off Miss Bady. At this time Rex tells of the plot of his friends and shows his affection for Polly, but his uncle, be-lieving her a notorious woman, will not let Rex marry her. The timely arrival of Petrowski clears the stage for their marriage as it shows the uncle that Miss Bady is not notorious, and that the whole affair was a put up job.

Oh, yes, 'The Tigerettes' . 3:15, November 13, 1929, marked the beginning of the most active or- ganization in W. H. S., for on that noted day a group of selected girls' organized what is known as the Tigerettes , The following oiiicers were elected: K ..... Ada Berneice Brown President ........................... Secretary and Treasurer ....... ........................................ M ary Neal During the year the Tigerettes did many interesting things. They per- formed at every home game and accompanied the basketball team to Clinton and Holden, where, though in the enemy territory, they showed much school spirit. Their effective stunts were made possible through the leadership of the sponsors, Miss Ruth White and Miss Edith Faith. k' A We feel sure that the great success of the Tigers during this season was due partly to the fact that the Tigerettes were boosting them. After a very happy and prosperous year the Tigerettes closed their activities with a visit to Miss White's home in Tipton, and to the Sedalia shows. tY' WNW vvvws vxwxvv vv' WA AAVMN fsfsxsfs 9 -'-'-.- lgfgffglgfb ,AK ' 1 30 6 'Q Page Sixty-four
