and Friday nights.
- Kinety-four dollars was taken
in on Thursday and $87 on Friday
night. This includes the retnrns
from the sale of candy.'
The expenses are email so a
worth while sum will be cleared
for play shed equipment. The
committee in charge of the enter
tainment was Mrs. IT. A. Beau-
champ. .Mrs. G. F. Korinclc and
Miss Velma Strain and It was ably
assisted by Floyd Crabtree, local
P. T. A. president, and the men
and women who appeared on the
program and spent a great deal of
time and effort In learning their
parts.
The cast for "The Pot Boiler"
was: Gun Mauney, Robert Woods,
Floyd Crabtree, Ed. Pleser, Mrs.
Ed. Pieser, H. C. Egleston, It
iieea, iiaymona spanioi.

R. G. Wood ably assisted by
Wilbur Lesley put ton a few min
utes of magic that pleased the
enewd between the plays.
Performance Creditable
Every person, in- the entertain
ment did his or her part In a very
creditable manner. Of course
some had a better opportunity for
displaying their talents than oth
ers, bu anyway the duet by Mutt
and Jeff and the solo by Maggie
Jiggs will not soon be. forgotten.
As one would Imagine this "Zander-Gump
Wedding" was a laugh
from start to finish.
The "Pot-Boiler" while a farce
reauired some dramatic acting
and those taking part certainly
gare the audience an idea of what
they could do along this line.
It was indeed gratifying to all
taking part in this entertainment
to hear so many praises and also
hear so many say "I would like
to see it again tomorrow night."
The reading by Maybeth Stew
art of Corrallis who won the de
clamatory "contest in Linn and
Benton counties and the accordian
solos by Walter Doiler were very
much appreciated.
It would take up too much
space to give each person spear
ately the praise to which they are
entitled.
