Thru the Keyhole," by Will

en- as Vehicle
FINE CAST SELECTED
Three Acts of Exciting Com
edy-Will Take Place
In Junior High

Thru the Keyhole," by William
F. Davidson, is the name Of the
senior class play to be given Fri
day evening, May 8, in the Junior
High School auditorium. Grand
mother Tierney, played by Dorothy
Kohl, is quick in thought and ac-
ton. Her clever lines keep the
play at high pitch Of interest and
exciting comedy. Joan Coudray,
who poses as a French adventur-
ess, is played by Marion Conkey.
She falls in love with her employ
er, Jim Tierney, part taken by
Clifford Weber. Jim's sister, Mary,
played by Mary Scott, feels that
her home town of Bayfield, is too
small for her social and cultural
activities. She seeks new friends in
the Van Camps from New York.
Helen Minette is Genevieve Van
Camp; Vernon Cheney is Archie
Van Camp. William, the butler,
played by Judy Dubois, appreciat-
es Grandma's sense of humor. AS
an officer in the British Royal
Air Corps, he takes Mary to a
dance. There his real identity is
discovered, also that of Joan.
George Allen is a friend of the
Tierneys, at whose home the din
ner dance takes place.
The first act is in the Tierney
home. The new butler and maid
have just been installed, and
Grandma is listening at the door
when Joan drops a vase and for
gets her French accent. Because
Grandma always listens but never
tells, Joan is not fired.
Act II is in the den off the ball
room at George Aliens house Cen
evieve and Archie have decided at
the last minute not to go with Ji.u
and Mary, so rather than stay at
home, Jim takes Joan, the malu /;
and Mary goes with her butler,
William. The Van Camps turn up
at the party and recognize Joan
and William. Before the act is over
the identity of each is disclosed.
Act III takes place in the Tier
ney's living room early the next
morning, when the family is just
returning from the party. Mary
and Archie are about to leave to
be married. Jim and Genevieve
were to go along. Grandma, how
ever, has discovered the real iden-
tity of Genevieve and Archie, the
wedding is called off, and Grand

ment such as graders will be taken
as part of the sponsorship. WPA

roads and place the gravel on
them. Where possible farmers
teams will be used on the work.

officers to furnish a plat of the
roads they wish to include in the
project. The important roads or
those they wish to have improved
first to be marked No. 1, and those
in secondary consideration to be
marked No. 2. The town boards
are to designate as to whether the
work is grading or graveling.
The width of roads and the
amount of work to be done will be
left up to the town boards, and
most of those present stated that
they would prepare their projects
as soon as possible.
There were twenty-eight repre-
sentatives of the townships men,
toned present. Following adjourn.

Swallow a Camel.

For thousands Of years has this
figurative phrase been in constant
use, both in literature and in everyday
speech.
To stir up turmoil and trouble over
trifles the while passing over more i'm
portant matters, to make a point of
things inconsequential and at the same
time remaining unheeding of those
that count-this sort of failing is ages
old and still unfortunately induIged
in by man.
The colorful allusion Is from the
Bible, where it appears in st. Mat
thew, xiii:
Woe unto you, scribes and Phari-
sees, hypocrites! For ye pay tithe of
mint and anise and cummin, and have
omitted the weightier matters of the
law, judgement, mercy. and faith:
these ought ye to have done, and not
to leave the other undone.
