W. H. S. The Champion 1924 THE JUNIOR PLAY For the first time in the history of the Winslow High School the Junior Class gave a play. After talking the subject over among ourselves we decided to see Miss Falls about the directing and ordering of play books. The class being of the wild and Wooly type, chose for their play, An Arizona Cowboy. Ransom Johnson, a tall, lanky lad, was chosen for the leading role as Farley Gantt, a Cowboy Sheriff, and Etolia Dedman, our little brunette, was chosen as Marguerite Moore, Farley's sweetheart. Ray Richeson, our witty Junior, took the part of Hezekiah Buggs, the biggest liar in Ari- zona, and Cleta Ellison, who in school life was seen very often with Ray, took the part of Petunia Buggs, Hezekiah's ruling wife. Norval Davis, a stern looking lad, well suited his part as Duke Blackshear, a Cattle Rust- ler, while Gwendolyn Cooper, a very popular girl. well played the part as Coralie, the Duke's sister. William Rogers. a big husky chap. played the part of Big Elk. a Navajo Chief. and Tiethf' McGraw, our pretty maid- en, made an ideal Frwn Afraid. B'g Elk's Daughter. James Coberley, one of our good-natured and well-liked boys, was well suited for his part as Paul Quillian, Gantt's partner, and Vila Garland played the part of Young 'un, the poorhouse kid, to the delight of all present. Dewitt Crow, a small, slow talking boy, well played the part of You Kee, the Heathen Chinee. Denzil Hogan well suited his part as Grizzly Grimm, a Regular Bully of the West. Omar Luttrull, Preston Potter and Durward Beadles were the extra cowboys. These boys were chosen for this part because of their wild and Wooly ways. Woodson Cooper, the class artist, painted the Western Cabin scenery for the stage. , The music and readings between acts were furnished by Lillawah Bar- nett, Marybelle De Tar, Beulah Davis, Helen Cooper, Wyatt Evans and Fred Willis.
