Miss Hut- employed in a beauty shop The time draws near for the high school all student body play, "I Will! I Won’t!”, which will be presented by members of the student body March 28th, in the Oasis theatre. The director is Miss Jessie B. Brier ley. The cast, which consists ot lower classmen, shows great pro mise along the line ot play acting. The plot—Just read it! This farce-comedy in three acta, occurs in the evening. The action takes place in the living room of a girls’ dormitory. Anthony calls him self a “chocolate-fudge doctor" be cause his work as medical attendant to a group of health college girls seems idiotic as contrasted with his ambition to establish a hospital for crippled children. But Anthony finds his job more interesting when he stumbles on a mystery. He is called to attend Lucile, and he recognizes that the injured girl is not Lucile but a stranger impersonating her. He learns that she is Lucile’s cou- sin, Joan, who has consented to the masquerade to earn money for art lessons, and that Lucile is off attend ing a forbidden party. Caught by Joan’s pluck and charm. Anthony assists in the impersonating, there by jeopardizing both his beloved dream of a hospital and his imme diate livelihood. For, hoping to win Anthony, one of the co-eds has per- suaded her father to help finance the hospital, and she has no inten tion of feathering a nest for Joan. There's the dual role ot Lucile and Joan. Georgette, the colored maid,, is the maid ordinary and the diplomat extraordinary. There are two smart co-ed roles, loyal, lovely Lyn and tempermental Glad. Other roles are: the majestic grandame, Mrs. Stevens; the dignified dean of women; an Impressive lawyer; a ge nial man about town; a lah-de-dah man-about-college; and there's An thony. Although it was outstanding both in plot and acting, the high school thinks that this play, “I Will! I Won’t!", which illustrates so truth fully human nature will equal the one, Yimmle Yohnson. given by them two years ago. The surest and best way to prove this is to attend this production which will be held in the Oasis theatre on March 28, at 8.00 P. M. The high school orchestra, direc- ted by Miss Dailey, will make its Rev. J. F. Gibson will deliver a debut at this performance. Home Coming service at the Pres- byterian church Sunday morning.

After opening the meeting Com mander Sam Moore of the local poet turned the meeting over to District Commander Bob Taylor of Milton who addressed the assembly on work being done in the district. HA in turn, introduced Jerry Owen. editor of the Legionnaire, who gave an out line of the Leglog's activities during the last session of the legislature at Salem. The state department inter ested itself in bills pertaining to child welfare, world war veterans state aid commission funds and poli- cies, and other legislation affecting veterans of the state. Owen paid a tribute to Department Commander Chamberlain who was in the avia tion corps for the United States torces in France during the World 'War, when he said, "Chamberlain took part In one of the longest flights made by American fliers over enemy lines, coming down on that occasion Just back of the French lines with part of his plane shot away by enemy anti-aircraft fire."
