NOMIC CLUBS CONVENE AT
PRINCESS ANNE
On Saturday, April Is, eighteen
members Of the Taste and Basic Club
attended the spring meeting of Reg
ion D of the Maryland Betty Lamp
Club. More than two hundred girls
were present and about twelve clubs
were represented.
At ten-thirty the general meeting
was called with the presidents of all
the clubs and the regional sponsor,
Mrs. Burnice Sterling, seated on the
stage. Miss Elizabeth Amery, state
supervisor of Home Economics Edu-
cation spoke to the girls about club
work and how it has grown.
Election of the chairman for the
state association took place at this
time. Betty Leicester from the Rain
bow Club in Pocomoke was elected.
She will assume her duties next fall.
At the close Of the general session
a presidents council was called to
make plans for next year.
The Taste and Basic Club invited
the clubs to hold their regional meet
ing at the Snow Hill High School next
year and the invitation was accepted.
After a picnic lunch held indoors,
due to the inclement weather, each
club presented stunts for the amuse-
ment of the girls.
1t was generally agreed that this
was the most successful of the region
al meetings that have been held, par
ticularly because there were so many
more clubs represented than usual.
DUDING FOR DUCATS
Thursday evening, April II, the
senior class presented Duding for Du-
cats, a three-act comedy, to large
and appreciative audience. Those who
had leading parts received praise for
the effective way they mastered their
respective rolls. The principal char
acters were Raymond Mount, Florence
Laws, Oakley Hall, Cordelia Price,
Mae Prettyman, Virginia Chopper,
Ohio Mariner, Thurman Carmean,
Bailey Disharoon, Tommy Smith,
Irene Tull, Bobby Corddry, Stanley
Chopper, Jane Grey, Charles Jones
and Euneta Butler.
Hazel Disharoon, who had practiced
until the last day for the part of
Aunt Julia, was unable to take the
part because of illness. Everyone
praised Euneta Butler who learned
this part so quickly.
The closing scene of the play rep
resented the veranda and garden of a
ranch house. The art teacher, Mr..
Franklin Purnell, had painted the
scene that was admired by everyone.
The stage afforded a beautiful setting
for the final fiesta in which the entire
class took part.
To those who helped to make the
play success, the class is most CRATE
full.
