Let's Preserve the L

One of the prides of Libby High
School and Libby in general IS the
IL located on a mountain east OF
town. The report has come IN that
someone has been rolling rocks off
the Il. The cause of this may be
ignorance on someone's part, or Just
a case of having some fun at the ex-
pense of others. Whatever the case
may be we're sure that if they had
TO carry rocks, lime, and water on
Il" day in order to repair the L
they wouldn't take IT as joke,
If everyone would cooperate TO
keep the L an object of civic pride
and beauty. instead of thoughtlessly
running it, their efforts would be
greatly appreciated.

L" Club President

Well See You at the
Game, We Hope.

Saturday the classic Poison game
will take place on the home field
and with it will come the traditional
homecoming for Libby High. Spirit
is running high this year among
the townspeople and especially
among the alumni, who are making
fine gesture by their thoughtful
preparation for homecoming.
Now comes the question of high
school pupils. Is there going to be
an attendance of 200 pupils from
high school, or the usual average
of SO or 602
Of course a large number will
be at the snake dance, but the game
is where we need the capacity
crowd. The team wants and needs
the students to give them that ex-
ira push which it may take to win
the game

Crothers stage success and plays
Sunday and Monday at the Kootenai
Theatre.
As Susan Trexel, rattlebrained
social butterfly who adopts new
social movement as a fad, Miss
Crawford has her most versatile
role to date, with March, following
his stage success in THE American
Way making an suspicious return
to films as Barrie, her inebriate
husband. Cast in support is an i'm
pressive group of players headed
by Ruth Hussey as Charlotte, the
family friend in love with Barrie.
Rita Hayworth is seen as the young
actress, Leonora, married to the
older Hutchins Stubs, portrayed by
Nigel Bruce, but in love with the
young actor Clyde Rochester, played
by John Carroll
The story revolves around Susan
who has neglected her own family
responsibilities in her enthusiasm
for converting her friends to the
new social movement. Gradually
she antagonizes all her intimates
and finds herself faced by divorce
which she does not want and losing
the neW-found love of her child.
She is forced to fall back on the
faith which she SO blithely discussed
without understanding it, to pull
her through. Hilarious dramatic
situations provide one of the sea-
sons outstanding pieces of enter
tainment.
