SENIOR CLASS PLAY
PLEASES AUDIENCE
The participants in the senior
class play may well congratulate
themselves on drawing a record
breaking audience. The play
chosen for the occasion was,
“ For Love or Money,” in which
love comes out ahead. For a
time the course of true love ran
far from smoothly, but eventual
ly the right couples paired off
and the only one left in the cold
was the scheming widow. The
girls looked charming, and if we
have a criticism to make it is
that the boys did not manifest
sufficient ardor in their wooing.
In actual life there must be some
pep put into the pursuit of the
fair one, who likes to be shown.
Burchett’s five piece orchestra
played several attractive num
bers and the class history, proph
ecy and will were read between
the acts by Frances Hassell, Ver
non Anderson and Frederick
Burns respectively, in which
much prescience and wit were
manifested.

A Day of Enjoyment
The grade school field dav was
enjoved by the children with
their parents and friends, on last
Friday. The unanimous verdict
of those present was: “The best
program ever given in Estacada.”
Perfect weather combined with
the wonderful beauty of the
park, and supplemented by the
dancing of the fairies, and other
pleasing exercises. Provided a
day of entertainment not soon to
be forgotten.
The boys and girls showed
noteworthy ability in the field
sports. The records in pole
vaulting were especially remark
able.
Prof. J. A. Finley, of Portland,
led the audience in mass singing,
and his solos were appreciated
bv all.
Sufficient funds were raised to
make the final payment upon the
Stradivara presented to the boys
and girls of this district by the
pupils and teachers of the Esta
cada grade schools, 1920-1921.
New Styled Pawnbroker
A brand new kind of pawn
broker appears in Marguerite
Clark’s Paramount-Artcraft pict
ure, “ Luck in Pawn,” to be
shown at the Family Theatre
next Saturday and Sunday.
Generally such a character is re
presented as a grasping, selfish
person without a heart who takes
advantage of innccent people.
Marvin Taylor, who wrote “ Luck
in Pawn,” is convinced that
there are kind-hearted pawnbro
kers as well as hard-hearted
ones. With the idea of vindica
ting in some degree the much
maligned profession, he portrays
Armsberg, the pawnbroker in the
picture as a sympathetic individ
ual who helps the heroine. Miss
Clark, out when pressed for
funds and even stakes her in her
attempt to shine at a fashionable
ball given by her millionaire ad
mirer. The part is played by
John Steppling.
The juniors entertained the
seniors one day last week by
taking them on a trip up the Col
umbia Highway.
