Good-Sized' Audience; Glee
i Club Makes First bow
ETATTON. J April 11 - The
junior high Jinks presented at the
school auditorium Friday night
was a, - most - enjoyable ., perfor
mance. The curtain rose on the
orchestra with new curtains and
soft lights -furnishing an attrac
tive background for the partici
pants. - . - u - -.'. . V
The first selection was "I'll be
Blue Just Thinking of You" and
was welt played. Next came a
duet by two members of the or
chestra, Dixon Parry . and Don
NeaL A violin solo by Patsy Mayo
Kiss Waltz" followed. A spe
cialty number ; by Hazel Murphy,
"Dangerous Nan.McGrew proved
very popular with the audience. "I
Still Get a Thrill Thinking of
You," yal Gardner, Dixon Parry,
Don Neal and Stewart Mayo, fol
lowed by "Bye Bye Blues" by the
orchestra , 'and , the -curtain . went
down on -the first act.- The per
sonnel of the orchestra is: Doris
Champ, pIano:,: Patsy Mayo, vio
lin; Yal Gardner, trombone; Dix
on, Parry banjo; - Stewart Mayo,
sax- and Don - Neal harmonica.
Each number was heartily- ap
plauded and ' many . encores could
have been taken. ' Dixon - Parry
made a decided hit with his -tap
dancing and although he gracious
ly responded to one encore the au
dience . expressed themselves as
anvious to tee another one.
Next was the "Madlen Ladies
Organization for the Moral Pre
servation of the Younger Genera
tion." - Where they ever found
the antique garments they wore is
matter of some speculation.'
Their takeoffs on Well known
Staytonites brought forth much
hearty applause. . To end it all
Stewart Mayo brought on his won
derful . machine which would
change each one into the person
she admired. One spinster who
was anxious to be a violinist was
madeover Into Doris-Champ, who
played a very - pleasing solo.
Following this second act Dix
on Parry, to his own banjo ac
companiment sang "I Still Get a
Thill Thinking of You" and "I
Don't Love Nobody.. Act tour was
a pantomime in "Ah". . That one
little word was all that was said,
but oh, how they said It. There
was Rachel Hunt, the young
housewife; Yal Gardner, her hus
band; Milton Bell, young lover;
Don Neal, sheriff and Stewart
Mayo, another lover. This act
simply brought down the house.
Wanda Perrin, a new girl In
school this year and one who Is
very talented came on after this
with a specialty song and dance
number, very much appreciated.
The concluding number was the
first presentation of the girls glee
club under the direction of Miss
Margaret Ireland. The girls were
a most attractive picture in their
Perrloet costumes, halt white and
half black.
Members of the glee club par
ticipating were Wanda Perrin,
Lulu Lewis, Frances Barber, Mar
rinee Goodpasture, Gladys Wed
