Home Talent Play
Makes Decided Hit
by Auxiliary Reporter

Aunt Lucia" the home talent play
sponsored by the American Legion
Auxiliary was without doubt a sue.
cess, furnishing two evenings of gal
ETY. and laughter. The main cast
deserve much credit for their earnest
endeavor and faithfulness. We need
not question our local talent when we
recall the way in which John Murset
put over" his Interpretation of Aunt
Lucia, supported so skillfully by his
college pals George Kay Harris }
and Dick earl Whitney and the
freshies, Bob Keefe and Art Paymar.
Margaret Jean Boltz, jeanette Ever
and Helen Hassinger in their role of
college girls were we'll fitted to their
part as was the charming Dean How
ard (Eleanore Aune) and the roman
tic Professor Gaddis (Gene Charlie
bois). The dignified atmosphere was
amusingly created by the President
CDR. Anderson) and his wife (Myra
Sprague) and we could not leave out
the Butter and Egg Man from Omaha
(Herbert Whitley and Dicks Dad
Games Stockstad) without losing some
very good impersonating; making a
full cast of fourteen players each
doing their best willingly, even TO
the group Of little tots in Babyland.
The solos and readings so graciously
given by Mrs. Max Treu and Mrs.
Showalter respectively were a pleas
ing variation in the program as we'll
as the song and dances by the chorus
girls, the harmony in the glee club
songs, and the "strut" of the lFlappers
Chorus.
All Of these and the kindly donated
services of the orchestra and furni-
ture by Mr.. Buenger along with the
appreciative support of the public
made it possible for the Auxiliary to
realize profit Of $80.58. This mon
ey will be used in carrying out the
years program that is ahead of them

Alfalfa that goes into the winter
with considerable growth will come
out in better condition in the spring.
Too late pasturing or cutting may
