for no recognition, but Tor the
sheer love of doing their bit for
the whole.
The program listed as stage
managers Harold Rogers, Sam
Jackson, James Allen Cox, Mar
ION Baxter, and Ted Carroll.
Makeup artists were Betty Jean
Butler, Jean Primer, Jan Rey-
nolds, Rebecca Floyd, and Mon
teen Winstead. The advertise
ment was capably handled by
Frances Sarvis, Lewis Skies,
Lester Parham, Irene Jordan,
Josephine Jacobs, Bertha Wad-
+! dell, Eloise Elliott, and Peggy
Spivey. Ushers were Wilma
Reeves, Elizabeth Gore, Lillian
Cox, Dulcie Garrell, Leona cox,
and Roena Cox. Box office OF,
| ficials were Margaret Poston and
Caroline Jackson. A most I'M
portant member of the crew was
Keith Spivey, the prompter, who
carried the burden of keeping
the play going no matter what
might happen. The student d.
rector, Lester Parham, was on
his toes, giving orders and fol-
lowing through from the time
the play was cast until its pro-
duction.
These were the people who
worked with enthusiasm and skill
to do the work that made the
play possible, and who only show
as print on the program. But TO
them must a big THANK You!
be given for their behind the
scenes activities and labor.
Outstanding among the cast
was Lewis Skies, the shallow but
delightful Englishman with no
thing to recommend him but his
debts. Such clear diction and
clever acting on his part were
refreshing and satisfying. Reu-
ben NARROW is to be commended
highly too for his counterpart
role.
The two young English ladies,
played by Cricket Blackburn
and Frances SarVis, were ad-
mirably portrayed, while Eloise
Elliott did a bang-up job on
Lady Bracknell, the society ma
tron. Betty Baxter, as Mrs.
Prism, was convincing, and her
diction too was good. Royce
Gore, Melvin Sasser, and Bill
Williams had nice parts entruSt-
ed to them and they came
through with flying colors.
The biggest orchid, however,
goes to Lewis Heniford, the fac
ulty director, who for some time
has been doing such outstanding
work in our school with the
dramatics group, the cheer lead
ers, and the newspaper.
Given this sample of what the
Spotlighters can do, we can look
forward to their spring produc-
ton of THE Barretts of Wimpole

seem unreal and the plot slight
ly far-fetched is neither here
nor there. What does matter IS
the fact that it was good show
and excellent entertainment to
boot. What our town ana COM
munity should appreciate and
acknowledge is the fact that this
group of young people is work
ing so hard to raise the cultur-
al level of our school and COM

ance. 1t is good to know that
we will keep pace in mind,
thought, and spirit as we'll.
There were only nine charact-
ers on the stage all evening. But
backing them up-and just as
important, if not more so, in pro-
ducing a play-there was a size
able crew backstage. The play
showed the unity with which
these young folks had worked
together, many of them working

at all times had the situation
well in hand owing to fine
piece of direction on the part of

Friday night by the Spotlighters

from the services year ago. AL
ready he has crossed nearly ST.
900, according to report received
by the U. S. Department of Ag-
riculture from the Arkansas State
Extension Service.
The Ex-GI started out during
the fall of 1916 with 200 chackens
and so rabbits, says H. c. Ray,
Negro district Extension Agent.
He housed them in improvised
shelters and raised them in time
for the Christmas market. They
brought fair margin of profit.
This encouraged him to increase
his flock and add more rabbits.
With the aid of his county agent,
the veteran planned and built a
large poul .ry house, brooder
house, and a score of rabbit pens.
This fall, by the time he had
been home a year, he had sold
over 1000 chickens and nearly
1000 rabbits. His fryers brought
him about a dollar each and his
rabbits $3.50 plus $1.75 for the
hides when he cured them prop
erly. He raises 1000 chickens
and $50 rabbits at time.
District Agent Ray says that
although Mr. and Mrs. Wilson's
farm contains only 10 acres, they
are making it yield good living.
They have a comfortable home
with electricity and running wa
ter. Next year they plan to in
crease their income by growing
more of the feed for rabbits and
chickens.
