"PAIR OF SIXES"
DELIGHTS MANY
Farce Given Before Matinee
Crowd of Grade Pupils
By B. H. S. Seniors
Before an audience of approxi
mately S00 grade school pupils and
100 or more adults, the senior class
presented "A Pair ot Sixes," uproar
ious farce, this afternoon at the
American Legion building. In spite
of the handicaps which attend a mat
inee in daylight and a crowd of rest-
loss children, the performance was
above the average for high school
actors, and promised much for the
second appearance Friday night,
which will be given for the general
public. -
Some ot the most natural acting
ot the, play was done by Helen Ma
honey, in the rather minor role of a
stenographer, and by Mildred Hoo
ver, in the serui-character part of
the wife of the senior partner in
the Eureka Digestive Pill Co.
The quarreling partners were en
ergetically played by Ervin McNeal
and Loyde Blakley, who created some
unusually good comedy by the fervor
with which they argued over the Im
portance of each one's relative im
portnnce to the firm.
Bryan Triplett played an office boy
In a manner to cause some doubt
as to his being a senior in high
school; and Gordon Valltchka was
convincing as the serious minded
bookkeeper, a nervous wreck as a re
sult of attempting to serve two mas
ters. Michael Mahoney proved a ca
pable shipping clerk.
The part of Miss Florence Cole,
sweetheart ot the Junior partner,
was well .taken by Dorsey Moore;
Reuben Nelson enacted the part ot
a smooth salesman, and Elmer John
son thnt of a conservative business
man; Wilbur watKins was a aigni
fied lawyer who lost much of his dig
nity while his two clients fought over
his services; and Dorothy Dodds was
the comedy hit of the play as an
English slavey.

ADVISES DURYEA
Responsibility of Citizenship
Told Students By State
Chamber Official.
"The wonderful privilege of edu
cation that Oregon provides for you.
Is merely a loan; and like any other
loan, you accept It, agreeing to pay
back with Interest," was In substance
the message of M. J. Duryea, secre
tary of the organisation and service
bureau of the Oregon State Chamber
of Commerce, to the Bend high
school students this morning.
"You are Indebted to the people
of Bend and of the state of Oregon,'
said Duryea. "In accepting the edu
cation which they so willingly pro
ride, you assume the responsibility
of paying back in service to your city
and to your state. You may do so
by standing tor the .best in your
school lite and In citizenship.
Introduced by Miss Harriett I'm
baugh, principal, as a speaker who
could bring to them an inspiration
Duryea told the students that the
that no inspiration he could, bring
would equal that of the service flag
which ia before them daily, with its
two gold stars and many blue ones.
To Impress upon the students an
Idea of what privileges they have.
Duryea told of a visit to a great re
formatory, where tie spoke before
800 young men. every one of whom
had committed a crime. Asking one
of the beads of the Institution what
was wrong, he was told:
"They were headed into lite
wrong."
He contrasted with the lack of ad
vnntaees these men had faced, the
almost unlimited privileges of train
ing for life, made possible by Ore
gon's educational system.
