SCHOOL NEWS History Students Study Pictures The early European History Class finds it quite a privilege to be able lo study the pictuies \v?iich are being used for a picture-memory contest n the Grammar Grades. SENIORS TO HAVE PICNIC ON CLASS DAY 'The Senior class, after having been called together for a i lass meeting, to dL-cuss preparation for class Day Exercises, has decided to motor to Carroll Lake, twelve miles beyond Mumhv. for ?n all ?lnv ni?*ni?? in nro . .rence tu having a class day program as has been customary in previous years. MAY 1ST DEFINITE pATE SET FOR "STOP THIEF" The cui.a: . w:!! : ise promptly at 7:30 the evening of May 1st, Tuesday at the high school auditorium, v.ien the Senior class of the local high school presents "STOP THIEF!" as its valedictory dramatic offering. Tickets are on sale at the popular ; i ices of 25c and 15c for the evening performance. A bargain matinee for Graded School children will be held Monday afternoon. Unusual effort has, been expended this year to get a royalty play and the drama is a swiftly moving comedy with thiilling roblbery scenes, much witty dialogue and a strong love in-, terest. Modern costumes are used I throughout the play the most striking being the dainty bridal outfit worn by Ruth Ledfo^d. Ronald Graham will probably feature the most eccentric make up of the cast, in his role of ominous detective. Oscar Hunt tackles a formidable task in his roie ol nard boiled Wall Street broker and manages it with the deftness he displayed in his earlier characterizations of "Mr. Ingolsby" and "Old Man Smith" in two former <play& this year. Kermit Davenport has the distinction of carrying the part with the most lines to learn, while Elbert Anderson demonstrates his ability to create a character without once opening his mouth. The role calling for the most skill in pantomine is illuminated by the eloquent eyes and hands of Grace Teague, while Charles Hyatt illustrates the comic force of repitition in nis seven identical speecnes during the three acts. Ths is the last time t.Sat local fans will have a chance to see these young Thespians of the High School stage and large crowds are expected both Monday afternoon and Tuesday night.
