iluiiSy. Aiio dSPlStSQ a CLASS re-
hearsal for the annual Shakesper-
can play and shows what may hap
pen when the teacher is suddenly
taken i'll. Ann Cobbledick spiritedly
played the part of the student di-
rector and she was ably supported
by the other members of the cast,
Eunice Lyons, Alberta Watt. Al
vira Bauer, Myrta Carr, Kenneth
Cummings, Norman Nimey, Dickie
Siebenforcher, Wayne Broom and
Jimmy WEIGH. The latter had a
dual role, that of the janitor and
that of the Ghost.
Before the Balcony Scene from
Romeo and Juliet by Ann Cobblc-
dick and Eunice Lyans Mrs. Huffey
spoke briefly about these girls dis
play of ability and interest when
they menorized this part in their
English class.
The costumes were from the
Portland Costume house in Port
land, Ore, and were creditably
worn by all members of both plays.
The stage setting with its natural
looking flowers beggars any de-
scription l can give. Wistaria hang
ing in festoons above the head of
the heroine, and roses and holly
hooks climbing up the lattice and
shading the walls make beauti-
full setting for any performance.
This will remain until after the
commencement exercises on We'd
nesday night.
On behalf of the class Eunice
Lyons presented Mrs. Huffey with
gorgeous bouquet of pink snap
dragons and rose buds.
Billie Lou Price who was out
of town on Tuesday evening was
stage manager, and Elvira Bauer
was responsible for the lighting eff
fects.
For entertainment during inter-
mission the Glee Club sang, Tea
For Two" and Desert Song Miss
Dolores Joy was piano accompanist.
An accordion solo by Miss Irene
Lode, Missouri Waltz was en-
cored with THE Waltz You Saved
For Me- Elvira Bauer also gave an
impromptu accordion solo.

Seventh War Loan Gets Under Way
Monday the day for the official
opening Of the War Loan found
our chairman of the drive, Mrs
Ed Laehn, actively engaged with
her pen and blanks. She had a
booth in the post office where APP
plications for bonds were written
as fast as the demand warranted
Mrs Laehn states the plans for
the drive will be formulated to
meet the requirements as the drive
progresses.
One contract person has been
appointed for each group or or
ganization active in the town. All
of these have not been selected to
date, but the president or any 9TH
er official in the organization will
be glad to help any who wish to
buy bonds Mrs. Clay announced in
the school auditorium that she
would write any applications at
any time she is requested SO to do.
She will be found in the Doonan
Hotel.
A circular letter has been sent
out to each prospective buyer and
it is hoped the response will be so
good that there will be no neces-
sity for making a house to house
canvas but this will be done be-
fore Troy falls short of her share.
Over the top in the first week is
a worthy objective and any bonds
any resident Of Troy purchases will
be applied to this objective.
Anyone who buys a bond in the
drive will be given tickets to free
show held sometime in June. so
