High School Seniors Siage Annual Play Twice Last Tuesday -- Presented for School Pupils In Morning and Public That Night The senior class of Plymouth High School gave two very successful per formances of a comedy in three acts, “The Sunshine Twins," in the high school auditorium Tuesday. The play was presented to the school students in the morning and to the general public at 8 p.m. The play was coach ed by Mrs B O Campbell, who is home room teacher for the senior class. Very good entertainment was pro vided between acts by the class mas cots, Lloyd Horton and Jackie Polk, who sang and recited, and by Bobby Collins and Carolyn Brown, who “jitterbugged.” Tire play concerned the Robinson family played by Harry McLean and Fanny Lou Winslow, as father and mother: Ada Virginia Hopkins, as the Hollywood-struck daughter, Dick Harrison, as the socialist son; the twins. Tom Hampton, and Eunice Holliday, who had one obsession: spreading hapiness and good cheer, and Gerry Jackson, as the unhappi ly married daughter. The cast also included Charles Brown, as a mil lionaire, Renn Dupree, a hen-peck- j ed husband; and Frances Gephart. who wanted to sell her plant nursery. The play was climaxed by the "turning of the worm": hen-pecked Leo Prather 'Dupreet bodily carry ing his wife 'Gerry Jacksoni home. Between the acts Tuesday night. Mrs. Campbell was awarded a $25 War Bond by the senior class presi dent, Bobby Collins, who informed her that she would also receive an or chid Friday.

LIBRARY HISTORY IS REVIEWED BY MEMBER OF BOARD -» 'Continued From Page One) her club meetings. This makes the distribution of books in the county possible until some future date at . the end of the war when it is hoped ] that a bookmobile may be secured > for this purpose. Mrs. Lula Jackson is a very effi [ cient librarian, but since she is not a graduate in library science, the library board members have to se lect the books to be bought for the library and send the list to the Li brary Commission in Raleigh for ap proval before the books can be or dered from the publishers. This re quires much time on the part of the board members but it is given freely and willingly. State-aid funds cannot be used to pay the librarian and to purchase bookshelves, so everything of that na ture has to be bought with local money. The state money is used to buy books and to help pay the salary of a trained library worker, which this library does not have at the present time. Every month about $109 worth of books for adults and children are bought for the library. The circula tion in Plymouth alone averages around 1000 books a month in ad dition to those circulated in the coun ty. The librarian and county board are asking the people to co-operate in sending back to the library all over due books. Cards are sent out each week but still there are a number of boks that are over-due. The county and the town of Plymouth give do nations to the library each month but with the increased cost of sup plies. books, and librarian's salary an increase in local donations is ur gently needed. Additional book shelves are very much needed. The Junior Woman's Club recently do nated $5 for this purpose. Library workers from the Library Commission come here every few weeks to advise the county board and to supervise the work. It is the wish of the board that more of the county and town people visit the library and then they would realize that the Washington County Public Library is something that the county and town have a right to be proud of. All newcomers are invited to come to the library which is open every day from 10 to 12 a.m. and 2 to 5 p.m. except Sunday. -i Lock Broken on Gas Tank at School Here A brand new Yale lock on the gaso line pump at the high school building here was broken off Tuesday night and an undertermined amount of gasoline stolen, it was reported to lo cal police yesterday by H.
