The senior class are to be con-

the class play "His Uncle John" CIV
en- at the Liberty last Tuesday even

pie eager for the treat that was in
store for them and they were not
disappointed. The play was full of
amusing situations and the young
actors made the most of them.
10 begin the story, Jack Sander
son, better known to Wolf Point
folks as Marlyn Young, is canned
from college. His rich old uncle
John, Howard Hall, gives him an
other trial but threatens to disinher-

part she had to play in a manner that
showed more than usual talent.
y Plot complications begin early.
Jack and Nell have been married
only month when Uncle John, who

Last Friday and Saturday one Of
lected was exhibited in the high
school at Culbertson. Supt. McFar-
Ian and Supt. Woods deserve much
credit for the success of this exhibit.
Hundreds of people saw the exhibit
and marveled at the wonderful work
done by the modern youth. The work
exhibited was that of budding car
toonists, designers, sculptors, me-
chanics, accountants, tailors, news
paper correspondents, farmers, poets,
bug collectors, cooks, geologists,
cabinet makers, authors, architects,
house furnishers, carpenters and
dressmakers.
The field meet which was held in
conjunction with the exhibit attract
ed many people. The health poster
exhibit, typewriter contest, bread
and garment club demonstrations adj
ded to the size of the exhibit.
The judges were Mrs. Curran, of
the Dillon State Normal, Mr.. Ed
wards, State Vocational Leader of
Helena, and Miss Linhoff, State Club
Leader of Bozeman. No better judges
could be secured. These people
worked hours overtime and left moth
ing undone in order that all con-
testants might receive a square deal.
Wolf Point Wins Cups
The Wolf Point exhibit was by far
the largest. After the judging be-
gan the blue tags began to appear |
thick and fast on the Wolf Point dis
plays. We soon left our neighbor-
ing schools far behind in the race
for the primary grade silver cup.
We repeated in the race for the
upper grade silver cup. The Poplar
high school was eliminated early in
the high school race. Culbertson and
Wolf Point were the leaders. Care
full checking had to be done to de-
eide the winner of the cup. Culbert-
son won out by lead of ten points,

The Cusker school won the rural
up. The WideAwake school in the
Wolf Point district had good dis
play but did not enter enough of the
OTIS.
Wolf Point did not enter the health
poster display os our posters were i
ntered in the high school section.
Poplar and Culbertson contended in s
his department. Our posters were
uperior to either but the health CON i
est was so unorganized that we had

rack meet because of the short no.
