Senior Glass Delights
An Appreciative Audience
Double Bill Presented by Graduates
Well Received by Large Crowd

Members of the senior class of the
Dawson public schools rendered a de-
lghtful program to large audience
Wednesday night, when they present
ed a double bill of amusement.
The first part consisted OF a short
farce entitled, "A Photographer
Troubles" showing many funny Incl
dents which arise in the daily work
of a camera man-the thin wanting
to look fat, the fat thin, the poor rich,
the rich richer, and other idiosyn-
crasies OF the public. The cast includ-
ed Guy Hamilton, the photographer;
Misses Lottie Leverette, Caroline
Lockett, Elizabeth Simmons, Mary
Coker, Mnagene Chambliss, Evelyn
| Hill Gladys Holland Rebecca Hays
and Raymond Turner. Reid Buchan-
an and Walter Gurr The play was
amusing from start to finish.
Following the farce seven members
of the class presented a two-act COM
edy entitled Mr.. Bob" A bashful
law clerk came to an elderly lady s
home to bring will which had for
some time been missing; the clerk
was mistaken by every member of the
household, and hardly knew his own
name; not until the end of the play
did the law clerk have an opportunity
to explain his true identity. The comic
situations kept the audience in a con-
tinuous roar OF mirth. The caste in
cluded Misses Florence Nasworthy,
Ruth Hamilton, Lynda Harris and
! NoO,,,; C+avuor+ and TI11ian Hicks
Andrew Leverette and Marvin Clay.
Nearly $500 was realized, and will
be paid on the debt that was incurred
some time ago by the purchase Of new
curtains for the stage.

JOY RIDERS BREAK OPEN
STANDARD OIL GAS TANK
John D. Sustains No Loss in Attempt
ed Robbery at Collier Williams.

Unknown joy riders, thinking free
gas might enhance the pleasure of
their ride, broke the lock OF tank at
Collier & Williams service station in
an ,endeavor to obtain some of the
speed fluid.
According to Mr. Williams the par
ties made a good job of opening the
tank, but owing to the fact that the
tanks are worked by the vacuum sys-
tenn and no pressure was in the tanks
beneath they failed to get any of the
Joy juice.
There is no clue as to the identity
of the gas bandits. The tank was left
in good order, the near-thieves ar
ranging it as near as possible in the
