Coach Comèdy
The Junior class will present its
annual play tonight. The cast was
carefully chosen, and has been re
hearsing steadily under the coach
ing of Miss Edgerton and Miss Mof
fatt.

order of their appearance are as fol
lows :

Patricia Harrington, the “Patsy,”
wishes to make Tony Andereson
fall in love with her; so she buys
some books guaranteed to make
one the life of the party and other
such interesting things. Tony An
derson thinks. he is in love with
Grace, Pat’s older sister, with
whom he has been going for some
time. She has just quit going wtih
him, and has become engaged to
Billy Caldwell. Mrs. Harrington is
an overbearing, peevish woman
who has never cared much for her
younger daughter, and! now she has
the idea that Pat is going crazy be
cause she goes around saying the
things which she has learned from
the books. Mr. Harrington is the
only one who has ever really un
derstood Pat, and'they always stick
together while Grace and Mrs. Har
rington do the same.
Tony and Pat start a lonesome
club, and Pat tells Tony that she is
in love with someone. He! offers to
teach her how to get this someone,
never guessing that it is himself.
Then Grace breaks her engagement
to Billy, and Pat decides to give
Tony up because she thinks he still
loves Grace. Instead he loves Pat,
and as Grace and Billy make up,
everything ends happily.

i 11 on “Value of Education
to Student Body
At a special assembly March 11,
Governor Norblad addressed thè
student body of West Linn high
school.
His
services were
obtained
through Mr. H. D. Cook who pre
sented the governor as the speaker
for his program.
The program opened with a selec
tion by the girls’ quartet, composed
of Roma Confer, Marjorie Ranger,
Eleanor Còuche, and Edna Jones.
Governor Norblad chose, for his
theme, interesting sketches from
his life and the ultimate value of
education today.
Governor Norblad came to Amer
ica from Sweden early in his life.
At thè age of twelve he started
working for his living. At this time
his education consisted of the first
seven elementary grades of gram
mar school.
Later, by lessons
through correspondence, he finish
ed his high school wOiTi and attend
ed college in the State of Illinois
where he equipped himself for law.
Norblad succeeded in passing the
bar examination soon after he
finished school.
Governor Norblad illustrated the
facts that “Men who have least op
portunities for getting an education
are all the more anxious to secure
one; and when it is secured, it is
appreciated.” Also Governor Nor
blad said, “Competition is so keen
that education is imperative in
order to compete.” These quota
tions were the keynote to the gov
ernor’s address, and served to drive
home the fact that more advantages
should be taken of our opportuni
ties while in school.
For the past sixteen years Gover
nor Norblad has maintained a high
degree of interest in educataion in
the State of Oregon, having been a
member of the Education Board
during thse years.
Governor Norblad, due to his dy
namic personality, was well re
ceived by the student body. This
program, sponsored by the head of
the science department, puts Mr.
Cook well up in the ranks of the
leaders in the competitive faculty
programs.
