JUNIOR CLASS COMEDY
wins HEARTY RESPONSE

The Charm School, presented at
the Washington school auditorium
Saturday evening by the junior class
of Winslow High, was all that its
name implies and then some, the piece
going over in good fashion and gain
ing the hearty response of the audi
ence from the start with it's charac-
teristic youthful bluff and with its
sarcastic and catchy dialogue.
Well adapted to a high school pre-
sentation since it portrays a phase of
youthful life in which the student is
in his own element, The Charm
School proved a delightfully."- spark
ling comedy and was creditable pro-
duction.
q All three acts of the comedy as we'll
as the conclusion of the piece were
full of wit and humor which brought
ripples of laughter and much app.
laItse. Act one, the scene of which
took place in the young mems apart
ment, was especially good with it's
querulous dialogue, the boys taking a
dig in the way of sarcastic remark
at whatever any one of them happened
to say.
In like manner the second act was
distinctive with the pink tea" in the
Fairview boarding school for girls,
where the charming young ladies de-
preciated with cutting sarcasm the
thought that they needed to be taught
charm. The resolutions to strike ir-
revocably were also very effective as
we'll as their somewhat flimsy excuses
to remain at the school when they had
seen the man who had inherited it.
Act three contained a number of
dramatic incidents which registered
true dramatic interest Taking Sally
to the movies nearly precipitated a
royal battle two dancing instructors
who were jealous of her affection
The decision of Elsie to continue a
course of study just because Mr..
Bevans thought that she should
have a knowledge of it was a
good touch, which might be profi-
monplace school life to a good ad-
vantage. Lessons in accounting,
which were in reality lessons in af-
fections, were humorous and caused
not a little merriment.
Members of the cast sustained their
parts in a manner which was above
that of the average amateur presen-
tatiOn, although the piece was not a
finished production. Several mem
bers of the cast deserve special men
tion including Fred Chase who took
the part OF Tim Simkins, a dancing
instructor; Lois Carver who essayed
the role of Miss Curtis the secretary;
Jervis Houck as David Mckenzie, a
lawyer; Anna Leonard as Elsie Bene-
dotti, the head of the senior class;
Myrtle Kelly as Miss Hayes, the mis-
tress of the school; Doris Henderson
and Evelyn Proctor, young ladies of
the school; and Eugene Wood as Aus
tin Bevans
Others who took part in the play
were: Murl Hohn Edward Peterson,
William Lancaster, Opal McHood,
Mary Dudziak, Isabelle Downey and
Ethyle Tully

BUSINESS REVIEW OF MARCH
SHOWS FAVORABLE CONDITION

Business showed little if any in
creased activity during March, with
the usual gains and recessions in diff
ferent communities and branches
Some complaints continue to be heard
from retailers, but for the most part
they come from lines which might
properly be considered over-crowded
and on the whole the general situa-
ton compares well with last year.
Things are rather quiet in agri-
culture, but beneath the surface there
is important activity centering in pre-
parations for the years production.
Cotton planting is under way, and
most of it will be finished in April. No
later reports on prospective acreage
are available further than indications
of 40 to so per cent increase over
last season.
Precipitation over most of the state
has brought welcome Improvement in
range conditions. Both cattle and
sheep are in good condition. Sheen
men have indications of another good
year but cattlemen are not out of
the woods, although probably more
hopeful
The price of copper receded slightly
during the month and the mining si-
tuation apparently is not due for any
immediate material change. The new
smelter of the Magma at Superior is
now operating.
Banking transactions in larger
cities of the state as reported to the
Arizona Industrial Congress show
little change in totals from February
and, slightly exceed those of March
1928.

conservative? He Is. There is no
doubt about 1t. Many OF us think

The banker has to be conservative

to pay, the bank not only would
lose its profits. but IT would lose its

Do YOU know of very many busi-
nesses where a 13 per cent loss of
capital employed would break them?
Hardly. There are many types of
business where q man figures on

Yet the banker must be right 90
times out of 100 to split even and
II he is not right ST times out of
every 100 he may go broke. The
successful banker can't ever afford
to lose. That Is why he Is satisfied
with small profit on each deal.
He must eliminate risk. Is II any
wonder that he is conservative?

ingenious little people have a variety
of novel habits, one being to gather
the petals from roses, carry the petal
to their home, holding the fragment
of the flower over their heads, that
action giving them their distinctive
name.
The petal is then masticated and
piled in one part of the home, the de-
