^nta Claus Makes
Maxton Appearance
MAXTON — Santa Claus ar
rived in Maxton for his annual
pre-season visit -day after
noon and gree .multitude of
children at Carrowon's during the
afternoon. A record crowd of boys
and girls, tiny tots and their moth
ers, and other interested persons
were present and everyone re
ceived oranges as compliments of
Carrowon Company.
Other signs of the approaching
Christmas season, are the multi-
colored lights which were put up
downtown on Tuesday and the
many store windows beginning to
be decorated in the holiday motif.
MAXTON—The Senior class of
Maxton High School presented
their annual class play, “A How
ling Success,” which was just that,
on Tuesday evening of last week
at the high school auditorium.
An appreciative audience of
friends and parents witnessed the
three-act mystery-comedy written
by Robert C. Schimmel. The play,
concerning the buoyancy of
youth, was presented with zest
and spirit, never lagging for a
moment during its four scenes.
It was the story of an average
American boy, played by Woody
Frostick, who in his teens rides
many a hobby horse to the dis
traction of his parents, (A. L.
Patterson, Jr., and Ann McLeod),
but who, sooner or later, becomes
the, solid citizen of tomorrow.
Kaye Edwards played the # part
of Woody’s sister with Guy Walt
ers, as his pal. Clifton Jones por
trayed a stuffed shirt home from
military school, Ethel Bracy, an
eccentric aunt; Sam McQueen, the
chief of police; Betty Johnson, his
daughter; Dot" Gibson, Faye’s
school chum; Eleanor Britt, the
maid and Guy Misenheimer, Jr.,
was the gardener.
Directing this class production
was Mrs. Ida J. MeKinnbn. Miss
Betty Evans and Talmadge Mc
Queen served as property and
stage managers. Members of the
11th grade assisted with the ticket
selling.
