WRIGHT On Wednesday evening, December 20, 1939, the Senior Class presented its annual play at the Whit- man Town Hall to a large audience. The cast enjoyed working together and at this time wish to express their appreciation to Miss King for many hours of coaching and to Priscilla Chapman whose services as prompter were very helpful. The play was an account of the plight of hand- some young Wayne Wright Uimmy Howardl, who was running away from his many ardent feminine admirers. Seeking refuge at a mountain resort, Wayne was confronted with trouble at the moment of his arrival. First, there was a young honeymoon couple named Lovejoy lLincoln Robin- son and Mary Tirrelll, but registered under the assumed name of Wright to escape the wrath of the bride's fatherg and then there was a couple named Wainwright tFrank Sweeney and Doris Hopkinsb, who caused more misery because of the mix-up of names. A Spanish Senorita CNorma Kirbyj and a night-club singer QMargaret Dee- hanb sent to the lodge by Wayne's scheming lawyer 4Dick Morsej to get him, and Carol Carbaugh CLouise Gossl, his college friend's sis- ter, who fell for Wayne, caused him still greater misery. This was topped off with the discovery that Clinton Carbaugh's CPaul Sanvillej fiancee, Paula Pennington fMuriel Forrandl, was one of his former admirers: but then Wayne met Harriet Harper fDorothy Hamiltonl, who would not capitulate to his fatal fascination, thus causing Wayne to immediately fall in love with her. All complications were eventually straightened out to everybody's satisfaction, and the identity of the right Mr. Wright was established.

The Student Council of Wlzitmmz Hzgh School Maintaining as its objectives representation of the student body and assistance to the school whenever possible, the 1939-1940 Student Council has faithfully carried out its duties. In order that all pupils might become acquainted with the Work of the Council, the homeroom presi- dents have given reports to their rooms on the day after each meeting. The Student Council Monitor system, regulated by new rules, was supervised by its members for the first half of the year and then handed over to members of the student body. Friday afternoon dancing classes given by the Council increased the attendance at regular eve- ning dances. For the purpose of visiting sick pupils and sending them cards, a Hospitality Committee was formed. A committee is at present studying the possibilities of limiting extra curricular activ- ities of all pupils. A Rules Committee has revised the rules of the building and plans to publish these rules next year are being made. Among the services the Council plans to render during the spring are the building of bicycle racks for use during school hours and the installation of clocks in rooms 5 and 117. As an aid to the community. the Council carried on a Red Cross Drive, a March of Dimes, at each of which it raised over forty dollars, and a Com- munity Christmas Tree for the benefit of needy children. For its social events, the Council presented an assembly at which Captain Plummer lectured on the sinking of the S-51, a community sing of carols at recess during the week before Christmas, and an evening dance, all of which proved suc- cessful. Delegates were sent to the Fairhaven and Durfee High School Conventions at which Thomas Beland, as President of the Southeastern Branch of Student Councils, presided. Under the guidance of its capable advisers and the leadership of its competent officers, the Stu- dent Council has earnestly tried to be of service to all pupils, to the faculty, and to the community.
