Plays, Parties aud Clubs, This year our senior class presented as our annual senior play, “Green Valley,” under the direction of Miss Madge Iseminger, teacher of senior English and Dramatics. The story took place in a small, fertile, green valley nestled far back in the California hills. The valley had been owned and occupied by the Berry clan for over one hundred years. The last of the Berrys, Eldon, was living there when a very clever land operator, Tobias J. Ever- heel, came and tried to swindle him out of the land he loved so dearly. Everheel was quite unpleasantly surprised when the long dead ancestors decided to come back as ghosts to help Eldon. After they were back, things began to happen so quickly that no “GREEN VALLEY” one was quite sure how it would turn out. The plants began to grow higher than hills, the cow’s milk enchanted everyone who drank it, the sun refused to come up, and to the dismay of Tinker Smith and Martha Mears parts from Tinker’s tractor and Martha’s car began to dis- appear. Everything, however, worked out well for El- don; Everheel was forced to leave or be hanged and all the settlers who had left the valley be- cause of Everheel’s dam were able to return to their homes. When things were settled, the ances- tors returned to their long sleep. The play was put on before the largest audi- ence ever seated in our auditorium for a senior play.
