HIGH SCHOOL NOTES
BY Betty Epping

"Mrs. Haywood's Help" the play
staged Thursday night in the high
school auditorium by the student body,
was roaring success. The leading
roles were taken by Lillian Brock and
Leon Littlefeld and Leon Bentley.
The action of the play takes place in
the living room of Thomas Haywood,
for Lillian Brock, as Mrs. Hay wood, is
discovered in the apartment. She has
received word that her eccentric fa-
ther-in-law, whom she has never seen,
is going to visit them Unexpectedly.
He is deaf and insists upon q quiet un-
disturbed life. As she reads the news
a gay surprise house party suddenly de-
scends upon her, and her servants
leave. In the midst of the turmoil the
father.in-lsw arrives.
The plot revolves around a railroad
deal. Two rival companies are repre-
sented in the house party and the whole
transaction hinges upon the discovery
of Stephen Hereford, who has been
missing for some months. With plots
and counterplots mixed throughout the
two scenes, funny situations, misun-
derstandings augmented by the father.
inlaw suddenly recovering his hearing,
the play romps through to successful
ending.
Elda jackson. as a young sister, and
Nella Hart, a colored maid, were espe-
cialIy clever in tLer characterizations.
Although their parts we're small, they
made the most of them and were the
life of the production.
A special assembly will be held Mon
day at 8 O'Clock in the new high school
auditorium for the alumni. Several
of the alumni will be asked to talk to
the students and tell their experiences
since graduation. This will be a regu-
lar annual event from now on. II is
hoped to keep the students and alumni
in better touch by this yearly meeting.
