EEXACO GETS we'll At CUT BANK
TARRAHT TOP
DARLING SAND

The coming week will see the
completion OF four additional
wells in Cut Bank field, around
both OF which is considerable
interest.
Lon Crumley. successful Kevin-
sunburst operator. will complete
HIS first well in Cut Bank field
on the Weaver farm. in NV 4
SEA 27-35-sw. south OF the
santa Rita-Trsbai producers. The
location will open mp a lot Of
new territory and may have some
bearing on the trend OF develop
ment In the north end OF the
field. whether the trend will be
due west or more nearly north
west. Contour maps OF the field
indicate q structural condition
in the northwest area. which has
never been fully developed BY
drilling.
Crumley has cemented his pro-
duction string at 1850 and will
be drilling in early next week.

various races, SO children ranging in
ages from four to fourteen vars, pre-
scented a three-act fairy operetta,
Fairies Are Really Truly"
The children displayed great talent
despite the handicap Of appearing be-
fore a very large audience in the out
of-doors. Special mention should be
made of those who had the speaking
parts, namely, Elizabeth Payne; Lee
Roy Broomfield Marjorie Arvin. Cecil
Walls and Emma Curtis.
The Operetta including singing,
dancing and speaking was directed by
Miss Catherine Williams with Miss
Mildred Aston, pianist assisting
The beautiful fairy-like costumes
worn by the children in the cast were
designed and made as a part of the
school work under the direction Of
Miss Dorothy Williams.
Preceding the presentation of the
operetta, Woodson Center yells were
given by children Of the school under
the direction Of Mrs. Marie King,
who had charge of the games and
yells during the school session.
Following the presentation Of the
operetta, the girls Of the sewing
classes modelled dresses and pajamas
which they had made in the school.
Miss Addie Foxall played while these
girls promenaded. The spot Light add
ed a finished touch to the operetta
and the display of sewing class gar
ments. Mr.. billiard Crawford gave his
service for the spot light. The sewing
classes were under the direction Of
Mrs. Gertrude James and Miss Mar
garet Dickerson.
At the close of the outdoor part of
the program, the audience was invit-
ed inside to see the exhibit of work
done by the children during the ses-
sion of the Vacation Play School.
Much credit is due those who worked
SO faithfully to put over the operetta
and the closing exhibits.
Classes:
Aside from the o~peretta, the paint
ing Of the rooms Of the second floor
was another main project Of the
school. George Starnes and Joe And

direction Of Mr.. Rhone were respon-

Another new and interesting activ-
