mil. Irwin, nronertv rnan for the
coming high school play, "The Rejuv
enation of Aunt Mary." has quite a
difficult matter on his hands In the
first act when he has to depict an elec
trical storm with lightning, rain and
thunder all at the same time. How
ever, he says that he has already fig
ured out how he will arrange things
n the audience will think that Jack
and Betty have Just come in out of a
torm. If the storm was ail ne naa to
do, Ellis would not worry, but in addi
tion, he has to get a large number of
nrnnertles and several assistants to
move them. He Is very busy getting
ih nrnnerties together and we feel
confident that he will have them all
there when the day that the play is to
be given comes around.
t tt.ev the sood smells that came
up to the auditorium from the domestic
ar,r.u ,inortment signified that tne
cooks were preparing a banquet for
themselvs, whicn too piaco m -thirty
Thursday afternoon.
Mrs. Norrli was a guest The menu
,. .. follows, fruit cocktail veal
loaf, dressing, mashed potatoes, gravy,
Parkerhouse rolls, cranberry Jelly,
pineapple sherbert, chocolate cake.
Were you ever sued for breach of
promise? If not, be sure and see wnat
happened to Jack when the girl from
Kalamaaoo brought a flfteen-thousana-
dollar suit against him.
As a second George Washington,
innt Msrv certainlv "takes the cake."
She doesn't believe in telling lies, In
fact, she says there is no use or aomg
o but wait and see the play, to see
how this clever, but surprisingly inno
cent old lady "gets away" witn ner
"stories."
If you are looking for a maid and
general manager, we strongly recom
mend Betty, who disguises herself In
the costume of her maid, In order to
"keep an eye" on Aunt Mary while she
is visiting In the city.
The Freshmen are always said to be
the most timid class in school but this
year tables are turned. The class of
'25 held Its first class party at tne
school house on Pececmber 2. The
baeement was gaily decked out In red.
brown and green crepe paper, their
class colors. Games were played dur
u, aveninir and a light luncheon
consisting of cake and Baled was
served. We take It they all had a
good time, because when the fact Is
mentioned they merely laugh and say,
"Oh, we had a swell time!" and then
approach another topic.
The Juniors have been making a
study of magailnes for the past week.
Reports on the best magaiines of each
type were made by the different stu
dents. Come and see If you agree with
Clover that Aunt Mary la more like a
moth ball than a fluff ball.
A telegram! A shriek! Someone
frantically claws the air and tumbles
into space. What can be the cause of
all this disturbance? Watch Mitchell
solve the mystery, Friday, Dec. l$th,
in "The Rejuvenation of Aunt Mary."
Bob Burnett Is a typical brother, who
gets mighty Impatient with Betty for
stopping to flirt when he's In a hurry.
He says, ."She drives me to suicide Just
for fun."
Last Wednesday the pupils were all
delighted to receive their monthly re
nnrt cards. The cards this month were
much hetter than last. If we continue
at the rate we nre now going tho en
tire high school will be honor stu
dents before the year is over.

The basketball boys heaved a lone
sigh of relief on Tuesday when It was
announced to them that the slow-but-sure
sewing class had at last finished
their basketball trousers.
Aunt Mary's cigarettes are more
comical than successful.
"Better late than never" seems to be
the idea the Sophs have, for In a class;

also decided upon tho tea rose as their
class flower. i
