And still, as Thesplans, the Chicka-
sha high school seniors maintain a
batting average OF 1000 They have
registered hit every time up during
the past several years, and the play
given by the senior class last night
at the high school auditorium was not
an exception. Only 1t was not exactly
single, 1t was more on the nature of
a home run. But consider the name,
''Lost-A Chaperone." That alone is
enough to bring joy to the hearts of
almost everyone, especially if said
chaperon were really lost and would
stay that way.
In this case, as told In the action
OF the play, she was lost during ma
jority of the time and when she did
arrive on the scene--Ilut TO begin at
the beginning. Marjorie Tyndall was
hostess to party OF girls at summer
camp. Enroute thither Mrs. Higgins,
the chaperon, was lost in the shuttle,
and the girls arrive, very much minus
their guardian. Il was not altogether
pleasant at that, for the timid spirits
OF the young ladies, grew more timid
as time wore on and they wished for
the protection Of Mrs. Higgins.
Across the lake from the camp OF
the girls was another camp. OF course
you understand that II was only an inn
aginary lake, as 1t would be quite inn
possible TO retain any sort OF self
respecting lake within the bounds OF
the high school stage. Anyhow. across
the lake there was another camp This
camp didn't appear until the second
act but during the action Of said sec
ond act. the camp could be plainly dis
covered on the stage Draped around
the scenery OF this camp was George
Higgins. Jack Abbot and Fred Lawton.
The girls became alarmed at being
left in the midst of wilderness, OIL
the shore OF this lake, without protec-
tion, so they each secretly determined,
tickle things, to go to the boys camp
and drag forth one George Higgins,
who happened to be cousin Of their
hostess, for mutual protection. AS they
arrived one at a time in the camp of
the boys those fellows Abbott and
Lawton proved to be fictionists OF a
very rare variety, for to each one they
told a different story concerning the
absent George Each girl took her lit
tie bundle of fiction handed out by the
Abbott-Lawton duo and returned to her
own camp before the arrival of the
next girl.
Just to demonstrate what blood
blood thirsty villains they were, the
team of Higgins, Abbott and Lawton.
after the departure of the girls. laid a
deep. dank plot to scare the several
and sundry young lives out of the fair
campers across the lake. II so hap
pened that Dick Martin, Raymond Sitz-
henry and Tom Crosby, dressed as lum-
bermen, strolled upon the scene, all OF
which formed the nucleus for bril-
liant idea to the terrible trio OF con-
spirators. For consideration, the
"lumbermen" we're induced to swap
clothes with the campers and arrayed
in the rough garbs, they proceeded tc
the girls camp and were giving very
good exhibitions Of really truly bac
men, thereby throwing the girls into
fit of terror, when the rescuers ar
rived on the scene.
This Fitzhenry person was not only
some rescuer, but he was likewise
poet. Nobody but poet would b'
content with such a name. Also, again
Agnes Arabella Bates, one of th'
camping party, and, by the way,
spinster, was 'just crazy" about Ray
mond. Martin, Fitzhenry, Crosby AM
Company pulled the rescue stunt t
perfection and it is safe to say tha
they we're in right with the girls fror
that time out. or course the conspirf
tors we're discovered for what the
we're and along toward the last vers
