hall Friday evening before an audi

spices of the PIT. A. Most of the
audience stayed for the lunch and
dancing which followed the play, SC
it is easy to understand that the
final result showed a profit of $45
which went to the treasurer of the or
ganization and will be used to sponsor
worthwhile lectures at the regular
PIT. A. meetings as well as other
school projects. Much could be writ
ten about the excellent manner in
which the local talent presented this
humorous and wholesome play. Many
compliments were to the effect that
they thought the various players just
fitted perfectly for their particular
parts, which thought comes quite nat
ural when the players are able to put
their parts across just right, which
was the case here. After the play the
cast presented Mrs. Svend Petersen
with beautiful ,boquet of flowers in
appreciation of her efforts in direct
ing the play. At the PIT. A. meeting
Monday night Chairman Vernon E.
Anderson expressed the thanks of the
association to all who have in any
manner contributed toward the splen-
did success of the affair,
