The Newsette Reports There has been an easing-u- p in contributions since our last issue. Could the victory in Europe be the cause? We must keep in mind that victory over Germany will not end the war, nor will it mean the immediate release and return home of your boys and girls in uniform. No, Japan will still need to be defeated, and even after that happens many of our servicemen will be away from home serving in armies of occupation, in policing duties and in other capacities for some months! So, with your help, lets keep this homely little scrap of paper going out to them so long as there are still Centerville boys and girls away from home in the service of our country. Remember, they can be just as lonely and homesick away from their loved ones after hostilities have soon-expect- ed ceased as they now are. very considerably Helping since the April number are the following individuals and families: George Earl, Leslie Earl, Don Folsom, Cliff Smith, Emily Everett, Charles H. Smith, Marie Roberts, Alfred T. Smith, Wesley P. Tingey, Wallace Walton, Arvel Porter and Lawrence Page. o 3-A- ct By Elgin Rigby play Shubert was presented in the Soliders Memorial hall last month by the Centerville 2nd ward M. I. A. A play whose cast was made up entirely of women, proved as interesting to the feminine members of the audience as well as the masculine. Under the direction of Janice Parrish, Shubert Alley was a hard play to produce, but was handled capably. All seven scenes, each different, moved smoothly with the proper amount of tempo. The clever blending of one scene to another, and a very nice job of characterization held all the audience from prologue to epilogue. The following girls had parts in the performance: Rosalind Pack, Ida Brown, Vesta Lucille Oggzewalla, Margie Blomquish, Rosemary Ford, Nancy Norton, Ellen Smith, Norma Ford, Wilma Semindaris, Marie Anderson, Lola Smoot, Nadine Ford, Pauline Meadows, Betty Glen, Jean Smith, Evelyn Rodebeck, Juanita Johnson, and three-ac- t Mc-Ilrat- h, Janice Parrish. In Tribute . . . The Newsette notes wtih regret the recent death of this nations leader. Franklin D. Roosevelt, considered by many as a breaker of traditions, will always be remembered as the commons mans friend and a champion of democracy. The Newsette presents this last tribute to a great president and one whose name will go down in history. o Ward Choir Shindig Goes Over Big That noise you heard emanating from Memorial hall the evening of April 27 was no fluke. The ward choir gave an evenings entertainment that will have the townspeople talking for some time to come. It was presented for the purpose of raising funds to buy music for the choir. Although everyone on the program did a super-joprobably the star of the evening was Shirley (Bolo the Clown) Randall, who was made up like a real circus clown. He played in several scenes, most of the time as mischief maker, pulling plenty y of laughs from the crowd. His feature act showed all of the eligible bachelors some of the consequences encountered in getting married And for How To Tend An Infant in (?) 3 easy lessons, Shirley is the man to see. Dora Walton, Gertrude Mitchell, Lavelle Nelson, Louise Grant and Lucy Price showed what might happen when a group of hobos get together to relate their experiences while traversing from Maine to Each sang a verse of Four Thousand Years Ago to the accompaniment of various instruments, and carried on a humorous dialogue. The choirs negro quartette of Clyde McIntyre, John Price, Cecil Carr and Claude (Sears and Roebuck) Kirkland brought the house down with their darky dialogue and the song Down Yonder in the Cornfield. And take it from this scribe who received the blast broadside, that shotgun must have had something more than empty shells. Lighting and sound effects were put over with emphasis in the Graveyard Scene, 2000 A. D. when we witnessed a ghost dance amid thunder and lightning. Ghosts were La Vaun Smith, Faelela Adams, Ruby Barber, Shirlene Smith, and Jeniel Reeves; Herb Haacke and Harvey Mann gave The Spoken Word from their graves. Also in the scene before the ghost dance were Raoul Smith and Norman Beers. As a counterpart to the ghost scene, Elgin Rigby anticipated the grave as he characterized Mournful Sam. Cleveland Cook played some boogie woogie on the piano as Frank Asperin, and was respon- b, almost-ca-pacit- Cali-forn- y. North Ward Girls Present Play The Alley, May, THE CENTERVILLE NEWSETTE Page Two Boys Are Hosts At SPORTS Teen Age Party Three cheers to the teen age girls for winning the contest which was recently conducted by the bishopric. The girls seem to have won hands down; consequently the boys were duty bound to give the girls their party. The three supervisors to-of the Aaronic priesthood got gether with the bishopric and planned the eats. They were delicious, eh kids? Sandwiches, olives, potato chips, potato salad and soft drinks were served. Ice cream was also a dish of the evening. The following numbers made up a snappy program under the direction of Master of Ceremonies Richard Lyman: Cleveland Cook played the piano; Claude, Kirkland and Russel Earl gave a guitar duet and Senator Ward Holbrook spoke. David Wilson offered the invocation. The games were under the direction of the two Mann brothers, Harvey and Albert. These kept the party lively throughout the evening and it was enjoyed by all those present. The boys herewith resolved that the next teen age party would not be given by the boys, and they mean to carry that out! sible for the sign which designated each act. Centervilles Twitter-pate- d Twosome Keith Shipley and Luana Smith danced to and sang The Honey Song. Later in the program the audience received a special visit from Rajah Orval Leek and his Dancing Girls, purportedly from India. The Dancing n Girls were Margaret Major, Smith, Maxine Randall and La-rea- Leah Pettit. All of the darkies in the choir had the audience in stitches with their enactment of a Black band practice. John Price was the conductor and the band members were Vernon Carr, Cecil Carr, Faelela Adams, Lila Folsom, Malin Schofield, Lucy Price, Lavelle Nelson, Claude Kirkland and Clyde McIntyre. The crowd received an unexpected shower bath during the proceedings, and roared when Bolo entered with a roll of toilet paper yelling morning paper after someone had ran across the stage yelling evening paper. Then the band played O, Suzanna and Old Black Joe with everybody joining in on the chorus of the latter. The auction was an undisputed success. There were bananas, butter, cream, canned goods, flour, potted plants, evergreens, sheets, towels, etc. A total of $124.23 was collected. After the bidding a drawing was held for two prizes. Ruth McIntyre won a pair ci sheets as first prize and Mrs. A. B. Torrey received a free cleaning job from the Dale Smith Cleaning Shop, as second prize. Phil Sessions Stars In T rack And Field Meet Racks Up 14 Points Despite coming in second in the quadrangular track meet at South high April 20, Davis high came through with two of the top individual performers of the meet, and one of them was none other than Phil Sessions, the leapin jackrabbit from Centerville. Phil scored a total of 14 points, only one digit behind a teammate, Don Perkins, and Neal Adams of South. Don took first d in the high hurdles, the low hurdles, and then topped it off with a broad-jum- p of 20 feet 2 4 inches. His broad jump was a mere inch ahead of Sessions, who won the regional broadjumping championship last year. Nevertheless, Phil leaped 5 feet 8 inches to win the high-jum- p event and led the field in the d dash with a time of 10.8 seconds, which is plenty good sprinting in any mans league. Weston Oggzewalla, of the north ward, ended in the first four for the discus, while Ralph Downs, Dick Thornley, Nick Demas, and Dick Bowman came in with seconds or thirds in various events. As it was, South won the meet hands down, scoring 97 points: Davis was second with 61, East third with 57 and West failed to score. 120-yar- 3-- 100-yar- At the B Y U relay carnival Saturday, April 28, the Davis Darts broke the carnivals interscholastic relay mark with a run of 8:26.6.
