Show No. B. 2 Y. High School, Provo, Utah, Tuesday, October 8, 1946. Thespians Present Improved Yld Cat Planned This Year Annual Play three-aOur The drama Town by Thornton Wilder is the play the Thespians will present to the public on Oct. 31 and Nov. 1. This is the first play of the year and it can boast of an excellent cast. The leads are played by Eugene Talboe, Audrey Olsen and R. Dee Law. In the first act we see Emily and George about sixteen with heads filled with the kind of things that fills the heads of all adolescents, Emily is going to make speeches all of her life and George is going to be a farmer. By the second act we see Emily soon changes her mind for we are conscious of her development into womanhood. The third act shows us that death is not the bitter end so many think it is, but even this has a very beautiful side to it. The character in Our Town are not rare ones, but rather people like you have lived around all your lives. They may live just next door, down the block or across the street, but they're your neighbors. This play will be more than the usual type, as it will be put on in an oriental style. It trys to bring out the humorous events of everyday life and shows the public the psychology of life in action. Our Town is under the direction of Mr. Lewis with Janie Spears as student director. The cast is as follows: Eugene Talboe Stage Manager. Owen Heninger Dr. Gibbs Dick Boyle Joe Crowell Kenneth Howie Newsome. Perry Mrs. Gibbs Marilyn Ballif Colleen Benson Mrs. Webb R.

How do you like the new Y'ld Cat? Have you noticed the increase in size? This big paper was first inaugurated as the issue. This year, at least students will be twenty-fiv- e working on the regular staff, in addition to students who will make occasional contributions. An outstanding new feature to be added to the paper is a suggestion box. This will act as a silent reporter your chance, as students, to help the staff in writing the Y'ld Cat. The suggestion box is to be placed where all students and faculty members will have access to it. News items, original writing, new jokes, cartoons, and suggestions for a better paper will be received with enthusiasm. Submitted materials will be carefully considered by the editors and all found suitable will be published. The money received from subscriptions, complemented by a subsidy from the school, finances the Yld Cat. Since it is against schoof policy for business advertising space to be sold, students are asked to pay a small subscription fee. In many schools, where a copy of the school paper is given to each student free, it is a small mimeographed paper. With a little help from each student, it is possible to have a successful paper. With a wealth of student cooperation and genuine school spirit, this can be the best year ever for the Yld Cat. five-colu- pre-scho- v The students of Y High can be justly proud of ten former students who are at present serving their country in different parts of the world.

Through our student council the student body of B. Y. High has many privileges never before really taken seriously by its members. Our officers have been granted powers of the Council that enable us to make our own laws and rules. Powers granted by the Constitution are: 1. Grant charters to clubs and organizations of the school and to specify conditions for the of the withdrawal and granting the same. 2. Have charge of all financial matters pertaining to activities. 3. Investigate and report on all matters referred to it by the principal, the faculty, or the student extra-curricul- ar body. 4. Make recommendation to the student body on any point thought desirable for the school welfare. 5. Authorized the president to appoint any committees thought desirable for any responsibilities which the council is authorized to exercise. Make and enforce any rules necessary for the betterment of the school and the purpose of the organization, subject to revocation of the tion by a vote of members of the associated students. Our rights as students of this high school enable us to elect our own officers, who are merely figures to represent the student body. Problems concerning the school should be taken to them, and will be given thought, and if considered important to the whole of the student body will be brought before the council for discussion and action will be taken if necessary. 6. two-thir- ds First Meeting The Junior and Senior High student council held its first meeting on October third in the School small homemaking room of the high school building.

Preliminary plans for a dress dance got under way when the council voted to have it on the first available date, preferably in the Joseph Smith Banquet room. It was suggested that student council become better known and hence better supported by the school. Principal Clarke announced that student council will be held on at ten or Tuesday and Thursday eleven oclock each school week. |
