Senior Play, "Yes and No,”
Slated jor Appearance March 7
The senior class of the high school
will present a very new and unusual
play for the annual class play to
be presented Friday, March 7, at
the Washington grade school. The
production, entitled “Yes and iA>”,
is a comedy written in two acts
and an epilogue; the same plot is
presented in three different aspects.
Act One tells the events that
would have happened if Jo had said,
“No”, Act Two portrays the action
that might have taken place if Jo
had said, “Yes”. The Epilogue tells
the story as it actually happened.

AT CITY HALL
An attraction of considerable
interest was evident by the
number of comments made
Wednesday by people who visi
ted the city hall. It seems
that an argument has waged
for some months between City
Recorder Loel Roberts and the
city marshals as to who would
wash the city hall windows.
Whether Recorder Roberts was
the loser of a bet or whether
the windows became so dirty
that vision was seriously ob
structed thereby making the
work absolutely necessa y, is
not known but Marshals Lolley
and King did not do the wash
ing. Instead, the Recorder was
busy Wednesday and the city
hall has clean windows.
