Debate ET US LAND on the debate field and tank up on some debate gossip. The question for debate was resolved: That the Federal Government should adopt the policy of equalizing educational opportunity throughout the nation by means of annual grants to the several states for public elementary and secondary education. Miss Eccles, the coach, had a regular job on her hands this year with a group of eight inexperienced debaters. There being little chance at the championship, attention was centered on the juniors and sophomores to make up a debate team next year. Senior letter winners were Walter Stoltz, Elsie Wytko, Geraldine l-laydon, Leola Skjelkvale, and Cameron Wilson. ln the junior class Leah Laine received a letter. Bill Bartoy also showed promise but was unable to continue active work, Sylvia Matson, a sophomore, also won a letter. Vince Fryslie failed to get his letter as he debated only in one contest instead of the required two. iihmru HE LIBRARY system was improved to quite an extent this last year, Special effort was made to give those students assisting an opportunity to learn the different phases of library work, Those who assisted in the library were: Edna Anderson, Camillia Batinovich, Gayus Blessing, Lenore Cristel, Thelma Curtis, Violet DuCallo, Margaret Fox, Ellie l-lill, Anna lascur, Ellen johnson, Pauline Kacer, Agnes Karjalainen, Alice Kirtley, Linda Laine, Barbara Rose, Stanley Rybicki, Daisy Saari, Tony Shay, Catherine Steele, Walter Stoltz, Art Thomas, Louise Thomas, Florence Vesey, Elsie Wytko, Viola Ross, Leola Skielkvale, Kazerina Pankiewicz, Cecil McNeeley, Art Barker, Donald Ross, Dorothy Kundrak, Annie Vasicko, Lylia l-loldridge, Marie Medak. ln'e11Iy-vigil!

The Mummy and the Mumps was given April l6. Two other performances were also given on preceding days for the grade school and the Senior high. The content of the play consisted of mummies and masquerades. Fenella, a girls' school in the east was the scene of the plot and it was taken in the present time. The time of playing was two and a half hours. Miss Meagher and Mr. Olene directed the play. The play was one of the best to be presented in recent years. The plot of the play consisted of a deep and dark mystery that surrounded the girls' school of Fenella. A thief was reported to have stolen some of the girls' gewgaws and a valuable string of pearls. A visitor, Sir Hector Fish, was to come to the school on a visit. He, being a potential teacher at the school, was to receive the best of everything, He was detained, however, because of the mumps. He got through the immigration authorities by hiding in the case of a valuable mummy. Francis Briscoe comes to the school slightly in advance of the mummy case and is immediately taken for Sir Hector. He is helped in that deception by his old friend Bill Laidlaw. Agatha Laidlaw never suspects that she is being deceived and is led along, with Dulcie Dumble, Phoebe Beebe, a newspaper reporter, and Maude Mullen, to believe that the real Sir Hector is the thief, but he is finally brought to light by Anna Hampton, What with Sir Hector ancl Francis Briscoe having to dress up in ladies' clothes to fool the keen eyes of the reporter and the county sheriff, the play is packed full of hilarity. The whole play ends happily when everything is explained and three couples vow to stand before the altar. The characters in the play were: Sir Hector Fish, john Riggs, Francis Briscoe, joe Logan, William Laidlaw, john McCutcheong james Slammon lRackerJ, Kenneth Petersong Perkins, the sheriff, Bud McFadden, Anna Hampton, Camillia Batinovichg Maude Mullen, Violet Du C-allog Dulcie Dumble, Leola Skjelkvaleg Agatha Laidlaw, Helen Romes, Phoebe Beebe, Geraldine Haydon. lfvirly
