Seniors, there is a moral to this
story. Now don't say it doesn't
matter because it does. The chem

The jolly Juniors living up to
their name, had a party the other
night, which evidently was success
full as they report having a jolly
good time.
All people enjoying a good play
will not miss the Senior play. The
Seniors have gotten good many
laughs out of it. Miss Rushton
has been reading it to them during
the English period. They evidently
find it somewhat more humorous
than Macbeth, as no such sounds
have issued forth from their as
sembly previous to this.
Friday afternoon, silence reigned
supreme, as the majority of the
pupils went to Prosser to witness
the game.
The French play given by the
French students Wednesday must
have gone over big. There is no
reason why it shouldn't as practice
and preparation was in evidence
long before Tuesday. Pupils could
be seen most any noon pacing the
floor and uttering non-intelligible
words-that is they were uninteIl-
igible to anyone outside of the
French class. They were even
gesturing with their hands in the
manner so characteristic of the
people they were to portray. We
don't wonder they used their
hands! We'd use more, than that
if we had to talk French.

The French III class, under the
supervision of Miss Leibbrand, put
on the one-act play ~Le Surpris l.
Isidore." The characters were:
Adolph Picard, docteur, Ross
Hill; Suzanne Picard, sa femme,
Glee Miller; Isidore, son ami, Wal
ter Knowles; Nine. Duval, sa belle
mere, Mercedes Sprague; Jeanne,
la ibonne, Alta Sandberg.
A great many people stopped
and turned around to look twice
to see if they saw correctly the
first time when they saw stud
ent going down the street with a
broom or suitcase or even buster.
Almost any time of the day you
would see some French student
mumbling to himself, or a group
here and there laughing about this
or that part of the play. They
had everyone excited about it and
then informed us that only the
French class was to be invited to
see it.

own creative ideas, maintains intimate

Will Campaign For
Dem Ticket

DALLAS. September 4.-CP)-C. c.
Renfro of Dallas, local political lead
er and close personal friend Of Gov
ernor Dan Moody, declared today
Governor Moody was preparing to
begin an active speaking campaign in
Texas for the democratic national
ticket.
Renfro said he did not know Just
when Moody would make his first
speech for Smith and Robinson, but
intimated Il would be at the demo-
cratic state convention here Septem-
ber II, when Moody's nomination by
the primaries as democratic candi-
date for governor will be ratified.
Renfro declared the governors re-
fusal to address the Labor Day
gathering here yesterday after he had
been invited to do so by the celebra-
tion committee was a matter of good
taste" on Moody's part.
Criticism Of Governor Moody for
his refusal to speak yesterday is
unjustified and shows a lack of un-
derstanding Of the facts" Renfro de-
clared. Before he takes the stump
for the ticket, the governor desires to
explain his position in the light OF
his pre-convention campaign for in
structions for the Texas delegation.
