"The Red-Headed
Stepchild" To Be
Staged At A. H. S.
Allensville Seniors Are Prac
ticing Three-Act Comedy
Drama; Indications Are
For Successful Performance
Rehearsals of "The Red-Headed
Stepchild," a three act comery
drama, have been in full swing for
the past two weeks and it is thought
by the director, Mr. S. B. Satter
white, that the seniors by the time
of production will have achieved
near professional finesse.
The entire action takes place in
the fashionable Chicago home of
Richard Russell, who has been mar
ried twice. Bess, the daughter by
his first marriage, whose mother is
dead, has been living on her uncle's
ranch in Montana. When her uncle
dies, her father has her to come
home to live, much against the
wishes of his wife and other daugh
ter. Bess is tom-boyish, and yet a
lovable, little creature. In spite of
the cultured Russell family's disap
proval of her, she eventually wins
the love of the very man who pre
sumably is her half-sister's admirer.
In the meantime Edith and Lucia
have come to realize the real worth
of little Bess, and so become recon
ciled to her as an addition to
their family.
Prom the very beginning you will
be in sympathy with t!ie red-headed
step-child, Estelle Gentry, in her
efforts to get along in a city en
vironment surrounded by non-un
derstanding persons. You will watch
with" suspense 'as the herione makes
the best of one awkward situation
after another. The play abounds in
laughable episodes and sparkling in

SCHOOL NEWS
Ministers Make Talks At The
Chapel Programs; Other
Interesting News Of
Central High S.
One of the most impressive talks
that his been made at the Central
School -during the term was made
by Mr. J. H. Shore last Thursday
morning. He began by saying that
he had a gift for every child pres
ent. This gift was a string of seven
pearls, which he wished every child
would accept and wear, throughout
his or her life, because it would give
success and help build character.
The seven pearls were first, sincer
ity, the golden thread of life, Sec
ond: truthfulness, the world is
created on the basis of truth, third:
honesty, be honest in your relations
with everyone, fourth: purity, strive
for, a pure soul and a clean life,
fifth: perseverance, that "stickive
tiness" that makes a man out of
you, sixth: Courtesy, politeness and
kindness being most essential, and
the seventh, unselfishness, strive to
be more like the most unselfish man
who ever lived, Jesus Christ. This
was Mr. Shore's first visit to us
and we will give him a most hearty
welcome when he comes again.
On Monday morning of this week

Mr. J. P. Herbert delighted us with
a timely message taken from the
proverbs. "He urged not to talk too
much, as this was Mr. Herbers's last
visit this school term the school
children at the suggestion of Miss
Collin^ wished him a most pleasant
vacation.
Some of the rooms have been do
ing quite a bit of creative writing
and we are giving two original
poems by Clyde White Wade, 3rd
B Grade.
THE RABBIT
I saw a little rabbit.
That's always my habit!
He runs so very fast
Across my little path.
The first stanza is by the poet
G. P. Guerier, the last stanza by
Clyde White Wade.
THE ROBINS
When the summer days are long
And rare is cheery song.
Then comes Bob White,
Bob White! Bob White!
And then Bob White is gone!
I miss his cheery tones
But 111 be sure to see him soon
Sometime, somewhere, some af
ternoon.
At present the Central School is
interested in the North Carolina
Symphony Orchestra program put
on Wednesday afternoon, for the
benefit of the school children, nils
opportunity is given to the rooms
who make up a certain amount of
money. Needless to say the school is
anxious to be 100 per cent.
We take this means of thanking
the volunteers, Mrs. Bruce Newell
and Mrs. Emmett Wilkerson, who
made it possible for two of the
teachers to attend the N. C. E. A.
meeting held at Winston-Salem, on
March 28-30.
One of the fine things that the
different rooms have done this year
has been to remember the sick chil
dren or the needy children with
baskets of fruit or other gifts. Here
bjT idffiB'-of the essential traits of
character, thoughtfulness and kind
ness have been instilled in the chil
dren.

Last week there appeared in
these columns an t ?ivertisement
from one of the filling stations
which caused some amusement to
the friends of the advertiser. It call
ed attention to the fact that the
said filling station operator was go

mandment, in other words was go

Some of his friends were kidding
him about the advertisement when
so said friends tell us, the proprie

of course, he did not say this, but

Did you "take 'em off" last
week? Well, if you did we know you
have been mighty cold this week,
for the weather has been anything
but spring like. Not only has it been
c61d, but the atmosphere has Wen
so damp that the cold just naturally
went clear through you. And speak
ing of the weather, one of the Min
isters told us that of the 14 Sundays
this year there had only been two
that were fair. Of course the preach
ers notice this, for when Sunday is
cold, or raining, the congregation
drops off, and when the congrega
tion is small the collection is ditto.
