An unusually ambition production is
the 18th annual Chizzle WHILE Fair,
which the students of Cony High will
present on Wednesday, Thursday and
Friday nights of this week. Follow
ing the general outline of the Chizzle
While Fairs Of recent years, it in
many respects surpasses them in en-
tertainment features.
The first two nights will be devoted
to the Chizzle WHILE Ministries, a min
strel show with six double jonted
dancing and singing endmen and a
large chorus of mixed voices. In ad-
dition to the minstrel show there will
lie second half program of six spe-
cialty vaudeville numbers that will
please all tastes. .

duced by strong cast. Two perform

first matinee and the second in the
evening. Miss Orelle Gray. teacher of
English, Is coaching the play. Direct
ly after the play the annual Chizzle
WHILE Ball will be held. This is one
of the outstanding features Of the fair
and with the large number of college
students now home on vacation it will
be colorful and brilliant event.
Early Monday morning the students
began the work Of decorating the big
hall for the three-day fair. A large
decorating committee under the direc-
ton of Miss Gladys Young has this
work in charge and they had made
great Roadway by last evening. Much
of the harder work had been done and
the hall began to take on the festive
i
with a Chizzle While fair.
-Four Glass Booths
The various booth committees were
equally as busy preparing their booths.
with the graceful arches overhead, and
decorating them with the class colors.
The senior booth, where ice cream will
be on sale, is decorated III red and
white, the school colors, as we'll as the
class colors. The juniors use green
and white, the sephomores purple and
white, and the freshmen blue and
white. The chairmen Of the commit
tees are: Senior booth, Roland Dem
nett: junior booth, Atwood Nelson
sophomore booth. Lionel Lemieux;
freshman booth, Robert Ripley. The
juniors will sell soft drinks, the soph-
omore will have games of skill and
novelties, and the freshmen candy.
While an this work was going on,
MUSICAL Director Harrison Lyseth,
assisted by Charles Kinsman, always
ready to help with any Cony project,
were busy smoothing off the rough
places in various numbers which will
be presented at the minstrel show
and vaudeville program which fol-
lows. They have both been hard at
work for several days and have
things running especially well. They
will today run through the entire
show just as it will he presented and
it is expected that the dress rehear-
sal will show few If any defects.
Charlie Kinsman has been actively
connected with Chizzle While fair
since 1899 and he has never lost his
enthusiasm. Each year he is around
to coach the boys in their parts, es-
pecially the ends and with his by no
means meagre knowledge of the biok
of "Ettiquette for Ends" his advice is
worth much to the black face boys.
Director Harrison Lyseth has been
in charge of Chizzle Wizzle MINISTRIES
for several years and he too, is par
ticularly able along this line.
The six end men. Dick Eastman,
Wart Fletcher, Bob Paige, Ken Has
kell, Farmer Burke and Freddy
Brown, with the interlocutor Harry
L. C.. Leighton, are running on all
six, or perhaps 1t might be better to
say, call SEVEN" and they form one
Of the strongest aggregations that
has appeared on the Cony stage for
a long time. Their nd-picked re-
pertoire of jokes and sings is of an
unusual nature and assure to please.
Under the able direction Of the ex-
ecutive committee consisting of Gill
more Soule, president: Melvin Now
er, treasurer; Russell Winslow, vice
president and Horton Flynt. Gladys
Young, Hope Currier, Frances Kins-
man and Robert Leadbetter, all ar
rangements for the fair are being
carried to stage bordering on per-
lection, and everything will be car
ried off with the regularity of clock
work.
