BusilY Planning
For Annual Antics

One of the most interesting features
of the Annual Antics will be the dis
play of quilts and rugs made in this
community. There has been much in
formal discussion as to what Libby
housewife was entitled to the honor of
making the most attractive quilt. The
vote of those who attend the Antics will
decide this question for that occasion
at least for the Antics manager an
nounces that every person who buys
an admission ticket will be given
blank upon which he may vote for
the quilt and the rug that best suits
his idea OF art, industry, time EN-
ployed, warmth, fine stitching or what
ever it is that makes a good quilt.
Numbers will be attached to each ex-
hibit and the exhibitors will be an
nounced only after the vote is counted.
A prize Of $500 for the best quilt, of
$500 for the best rug and $100 for the
oldest specimen of either will be given
to the winners Mrs. R. w. Orr and
Miss Antonio Grandjean have gracious
ly consented to act as committee to
display the exhibits and to announce
the winners Racks will be improvised
In the gym SO that each article can be
viewed by the audience before the vote
is taken. The committee has arranged
to have the quilts and rugs collected
for the home on the morning Of the
exhibit and they are now ready to re-
ceive word from persons who have
such articles to display
Manager George Hayes is about as
busy as Coach Vogt this week. State
Championships don't come to Libby
every day and Coach is taking life SER
iously as a consequence but on the
other hand, the annual stunt night of
the High School does come every year
and that is something to be serious
about, too. How to make eachasucceed-
ing set of stunts come up to previous
records worries even an original show
man like Hayes but he says that he
has been studying up on p T. Barnum
and that he promises something new
and something different.
Steady drill indicates that Miss Aasen
will equal her past performances when
Princess Chrysanthemum is given as
the Junior High contribution to the
Annual Antics. Squadron X", the play
given by the Juniors for their Armis-
tice Day program was repeated for an
interested audience at the Eastern
Star Homecoming and is given again
by request as number of Libby per-
sons have not seen this stirring one
act drama coached by Mrs. Vogt. The
Bank Robbery is sure to bring out
many details that were lost upon local
people Qast fall) on account of their
excited condition More persons were
implicated in the affair than were
made public at the time and some dra-
matte surprises are in store for those
who are fond of investigations and de
tecative' stories. Hogan, the Master
Salesman, will appear in person. A
skit, encountered with the high sound
ing title of Romeo and Juliet will
give expression to the antics of sew
eral aspiring Thespians Add to that
the Black Face Minstrels and it is evil
dent that Manager Hayes has the stage
set for big show.
