USKIDDINGH A Light Comedy in Three Acts. Presented by the Senior Class. The senior class play, Skidding, was presented April 20, 1934. The success was due to the untiring efforts of the director, Miss Kemp, and the conscientious work of the cast. Skidding is a fresh sincere picture of American family life, showing Marion Hardy, a modern college girl who falls ecstatically in love with Wayne Trenton just as a career is opening up to her, and the difficulties she has in adjusting her romance. Then there are the two young daughters who chose to marry before they finished their education and want to Come home to Mother at their first sign of trouble. Mother Hardy is so upset at the modern tendencies of her daughters that .she goes on strike in order to straighten out her family. Young Andy Hardy is an adorable adolescent lad with his first case. He keeps the audience in a gale of merriment with his humorous observances. Grandpa Hardy touches the heart with his absent-mindedness and his reminiscences about Grand- mag and the white satin slippers he makes for Marion to be married in. have a great deal to do with straightening out her love affair. Humor is blinded with pathos and a delicious- ly garnished philosophy makes Skidding more significant than the average comedy. The cast is as follows: Aunt Milly ............., Kathryn Overman Andy ........ ........ J ames Wood Mrs. Hardy ,... .... R ebecca Wheeler Judge Hardy .......... ...... J ohn Haskett Grandpa Hardy ...,...... ....... J acob Blasser Estelle Hardy Campbell . . . .... Mary Jane Jones Marion Hardy ........ Marcella Randall Wayne Trenton III ......

THROUGH THE SVPER-Hl'M.XN MIND May 1, 1949. I say, Alice Louise, my sweet. do you remember what happened fifteen years ago to- night? asked William Irwin, internationally famed inventor. Really, one couldn't forget it, could one? I wonder what has become of all of our classmates of Westfield High School? By Jove, will you look here, Alice! William handed her the evening paper and in bold headlines she read, FLOYD COX AND TOOTS McKINZIE ROB NEW YORK BANK OF TWENTY MILLION DOLLARS, Former Members of Dillinger, Jr.'s Gang. Cashier, Robert Frost, Shot. Recovery Is Hoped For. How shocking! I do hope the rest of our class have fared better! We shall soon see, replied Mr. Irwin, with a mysterious air. He led her into his laboratory and pulled back a curtain revealing a large screen. I have just completed a new invention-a super-human mind, which knowis all, sees all, and hears all. When the switch is on, the mind functions. I now instruct the super-human mind to show us where the rest of the class of 1934 are. Flash-A little country home-Mrs. Geneva Pittman Clark trying to console Bucky, Jr., while baking biscuits. Flash-Red hot music, wine, and hotcgz chorus girls led by dashing vivacious, Betty fElizabethJ Washington. Flash-Max'y Ballard, renowned avlatrix being escorted down Broadway after having broken a new altitude record. Flash-A little cot- tage-Elda Plummer and Virginia Randall knitting over their teacups while two ca-ts purr placidly at their feet. Flash-California Olympic contests-John Haskett receiving the Shanghi trophy which is given to the world's fastest human. Flash-Virginia Mae Morford, safety-pin magnate, conferring in her executive office with a board of trustees. Flash-A studio scene-Louise Jessup, celebrated portrait artist, is painting the portrait of Philip Kendall, who has now surpassed Bing Crosby in radio fame. Flash-White House-Presi- dent Roy Leap giving a dinner for the members of Tammany Hall. Flash-Vienna Phil- harmonic Opera House-A rising young artist, Malcolm Bray, clarinet soloist, making his debut. Flash- -Beauty salon-Kathryn Overman, lifting the f.ace of Wilma Rogers, Holly- wood queen. Flash-Office of Secretary of State-Marcella Randall, giving dictation to her private secretary, Mary Burroughs. Flash-Dentist office in Westfield-Dr. Donald Casey now occupying the former office of Dr. J. N. Daniel. Flash-Hospital surgeon, James Wood, assisted by his wife and nurse, Mary Jane Jones, is performing a critical throat operation on Jacob Blasser, who strained his throat fifteen years ago while playing the part of Grand- pa Hardy in Senior Class Play, Skiddin.g. Flash-Jungle of Africa-Rebecca Wheeler surrounded by a group of natives listening to her inspiring speech on Feeding and Care of Children. Flash-Opal Marvel has gained the position of editor-in-chief of the West- field Booster. Flash-Rodeo in Dallas, Texas-Myrle Stroud, cowgirl bronco buster at- tempting to break the out-law horse, Dynamite. Flash-Modiste Mabelle Irene, formerly known as Mabel Leap, engaged in making the trousseau for Lucille New, fiance of the Duke Archlbal Knowitall. Flash-Hortonville-Donald Walker, attired in overalls, making his way to his barn to milk his contented cows. That's a ripping invention, old dear. Such wonderful careers. I know much of the credit is due our dear teachers that we had at Westfield.
