Juniors Presenting
Play This Evening

Score another triumph for the
Junior Class. The Class Of f64
Is proud to present its Junior
Class Play, Lavender and Old
Lace" Friday night at 8 pm. In
the Milford High School AUDITOR
ium.
Years ago Myrtle Reed, the
popular novelist, wrote "Lav-
ender And Old Lace" The book
sprang into such instant popu-
larity that for a long time 1t
was difficult to procure copy.
Although Miss Reed has pro-
duced long list of best sellers
before this work was published
1t is this same Lavender And
Old Lace" that she will always
be best remembered by. Rose
Warner has made the dramati-
zatton of the novel and without
losing any Of its warmth or color
she has fashioned this charm
Ing story into thoroughly mod
ern play. Because Miss Warner
loved the novel so much and was
so sympathetic to its story she
has been able to do full Justice
to this great masterpiece of fic-
tion, and there are many laughs
and a wealth of entertainment
gathered into her play.
With such a fine cast and with
the aid Of our wonderful director
Mr.. Woodward, there can be no
doubt that this performance will
be as good If not better than
many plays seen in the profess
stonal theatre. In order to en-
courage this fine group Of am
bilious young Thespians the en-
tire town should turn out enmasse
and give their play a rousing re-
ception. So tell everybody you
meet about 1t and remind them of
the date, April 18th and 10th,
because everybody will be raw
ing about Lavender And Old
Lace" for weeks after they've
seen 1t.

 As 6 delegate, Bob had all the privileges and responsibilities of { representative to Congress excepr that 0te voting. Time after time, ses- sion after session, he would intro- duce bills for statehood only to have them brushed aside.
 Every opportunity before clubs and organizations Bob and Vide would speak for statehood, trying to get "grass roots'' support, trying to got the people in the states to urge th'eir congressmen to vote for AlasaH statehood.
 When the Bartletts first went to Washington, Vide's mother went w-ith them.

 For yes@s statehood had been op- fposesa by Sam Rayburn, speaker of 44gsaps House of Representatives, It was tNse custom for Bartlett to call car Rayburn shortly before each session of Congress to go over pend- ing legislation that would affect AlRsA&.

 When Bob got back to his office, he telephoned Vide at home to give her the news which she says was her biggest thrill
 In the late spring of '58 the House passed the statehood act and Ray burn worked closely with Lyndon Johnson, then the majority leadeF of the Democrats in the Senate, and the Senate also passed it.
 When the bill was passed Mrs. Bartlett was sitting in the gallery. Ordinarily those in the galler9 arg not supposed to make sound.
 But when the bill was passed the whole gallery rose up cheering and shouting. They were not supposed to applaud but try to stop them aE time like that" Mrs. Bsrtlett said.
 After all, it was the first stata to join the union since 1stS."
