Show OGDEN HIGH SCHOOL Presents "THE ARRIVAL OF KITTY" Under Direction of MISS MARY WOOLLEY Washington Junior High School December 11th and 12th The Arrival of Kitty," everyone sighed wUh a sigh of contentment. Seldom before has an audience been held so with intense interest. As co-workers Jim Riley and George Thatcher were a riot. Dorothy Wintle took her part exceptionally well and much credit goes to Guinevere Wooley. It is easily seen that this junior is very talented and should make a real success of her dramatic ability. Rowland Corry, as Winkler, had a splendid chance to show his talent and he showed it to the superlative degree. John Evans "couldn't be beat," as the saying goes. Speaking of beautiful women, he takes first prize. Ruth Clark took her part of the French maid like those of whom we read in story books. Sweet and demure, you know. We'd have to travel the world over to find the natural actress we have in Dorothy Knowlden. Believe it or not, she's an artist. And last but far from least, our hats go off to Andy Brunetti, who kept the audience in one continual uproar. Our stage managers and helpers are also deserving of much credit. They did things up in as fine a manner as could be done. Now, let's give Miss Mary Wooley a big hand. She certainly knows how to put things over in one big way. We have reason to expect many more extraordinary performances under her capable direction. AUNT JANE'S CORNER Dear Aunt Jane: I want to know why we boys are not allowed to send corsages to the girls whom we take to the Christmas dance. I think it is proper to send corsages and especially to the senior girls. At all other senior high schools corsages are sent to uie gins ana especially at a Christmas dance. "A COURTEOUS SENIOR BOY." Dear Senior: It is our aim to make every high school dance as democratic as pos¬sible. Though nothing has been said barring such formalities as corsages, we would prefer not to have them sent. Our idea is merely to cut down a lot of unnecessary expense, don't you see? We do not wish any boy to stay away from the dance because he cannot do what other boys are doing. Come again. AUNT JANE. ELECTION HELD Mrs. Newcomb's third period Eng¬lish club has held election of offi¬cers with the following results: President, Sheldon Winkler. Vice president, Lorna Malan. Secretary, John Hopkins. Reporter, Yvonne Pierce. Mr. Winkler apologized for his un- excusable neglect of his duties as a reporter when it was suggested that hereafter the reporter be of some use. The general business of the meet¬ing was taken up and Sheldon Wink¬led. Bob Kimball and Preston Mul¬cahy gave their unbiased version of a gab fest. It was extremely well en¬acted and although a few students were humiliated everyone was amus¬ed. Next, Andrew Brunetti and George Thatcher gave a talk and Andy illustrated his ability to lift his eye-brows. Blanche Allison, Lorna Wilcox, Virginia Hyde, Helen Madsen, Ruth Greaves, Elaine Wilcox and Yvonne Pierce killed seven birds with one stone by giving their talks conjointly. Beth Garr, Irene Gilmore and Marion Gimlin gave their talks, and, having no time for criticisms, we adjourned. J. HOPKINS. CHIT CHAT What would you think if you came to school some Monday morning and saw: Max Clark and John Favero with their hair peroxided? Alice Huggins not relating her most exciting week-end? Mick Chez without a cold? Elpha Morse holding her breath, until Russ came along? Glen Dye with both eyes open? Ruth Lindsay chewing a wad of gum? Clair Jackson hunting Mr. Merrill? And Kay Moyes walking to school without Steve Merrill? GOOD STAGE WORK To those not acquainted with the stage and its arrangement the Washington junior high auditorium presents no visible difficulties for arrangement of a set like that used in the "Arrival of Kitty." To the contrary this stage did present many difficulties and it was only after numerous nights of hard working that the stage was made ready for the play. The job of the stage manager is one of those iobs that does not put one in the limelight but a more deserving job, we did not Know. The stage managers were Calvert Bowman, chief; Phil Weeks and Max Mairs, assistants, rhe success of the play was dependent on them m no small way and they shouldered the burden admirably. Thanks, stage managers. SNOOPY. CARPE DIEM Arrows and bows—and whys, when and hows were discussed at the last meeting. Ora Smith gave us so much new material in thirty min¬utes that we are still swimming in it. But really it is quite satisfying to know something about shooting; however, it might be somewhat dan¬gerous to our targets if we were to carry weapons instead of keys. Hence is more news; we cordially invite all who are interested in ski¬ing to our meeting on Wednesday, December 17. Halvor Bjorngaard, an expert skier, will speak to us. Always remember, "joy is foremost." LORNA MALAN. Etchings Scoured. OGDEN.
