Show I Scbool IRotee i v.. ................ ..-....... ... i And Still the Villian Pursues Her Dear people, don't be alarmed. That's just the title of a play that is to be presented by the Milford Ag club in the near future. This play is not of the low comedy type. In fact, this play is a very high type of ridicu'ous play. Its only purpose is to produce laughter to the ":ith" degree. The characters are: Mr. Handout, Leonard Twitchell; Mrs. Handout, his wife, Jack Hanlon; Emmalin, their daughter, Warren Ferguson; Jack Srewloose, the hero, Bud Hutchins Lizzy Leaping, country cousin, Jack Weston; Jim Spyrt, detective, Wal-dvn Wal-dvn Blackburn; Marie, the maid, Al-d' Al-d' n Johnson; George Grabbum, Mont Griffiths. And, now, dear people, this play n to be shown at the high school in the near future. Walden Blackburn. Bobby "Cobby!" Doesn't that name sound familiar to all of you students by now? of course, for that's the name of the high school opera. We can't tell you the characters of the opera yet because all of them haven't been chosen. Mr. Hand has been working hard with his chorus clas-; this year and expects to make this opera best yet. You will be informed as to all members of the cast at a later date. Emma Patterson. A Wish Today as I wandered around the hall, I heard students talking about turkey and dressing, cranberries, pie, cake, and pudding. What wouldn't I give to have that feast once again! I often wish that the Pilgrims had made friends with the Indians every day. Itha Skinner. The third year English class has completed a unity in the study of the eight parts of speech, and is now taking tak-ing up the history of American Literature. Lit-erature. We are finding this study quite interesting. in-teresting. The early colonization of America is taken up in the first part of the course. We expect to take up the further developments of America and its Literature. Ethel Tanner. School Closes for Holiday On Wednesday of last week the students were glad to be free from school for four days' vacation for Thanksgiving. The holidays were too good to last long. After we have been in school again for a day, we don't feel as if we had ever had a vacation. Such is life! Peggy Blackburn, Club Notes The Science club under the direction direc-tion of Mr. Hughes is a very interesting interest-ing club in which we study many phases of science. The one phase that I think most inteiesting. is the study of rocks or geology. We made a trip to Montreal Mont-real Mine where we collected many samples of copper, lead, and other metals. We are planning on having men come and give us talks on geology. I think the Science club is the most interesting club to which one could belong. Billie Tribole. Silly-osophy Milford high school students have settled back into the old routine again. Helen Clark and Ethel Tanner Tan-ner know they can talk and write notes in chemistry because Mr. Hughes just can't withstand their wistful glances. Iiosie and Lucille also know they can eat pinenuts in that class, for it is so easy to hide the evidence in the equipment drawers. The agronomy students are learning learn-ing very quickly (oh yeah) that they can't stamp up and down the halls unless Mr. Parsons bawls them out. Miss Fernley has discovered that our class of English is the 'dumbest' English class she has handled in her long career. Mr. Beecher says, "I am going to stop this infernal arguing in sociology sociol-ogy when none of us know what we are arguing about." "Oh well," we're still in hopes of discovering a class of perfect students," stu-dents," says Miss Fernley but we can't even have peace on that because be-cause Mr. Hand argues that a good band that wouldn't tjlk back wouid be better. Ah me! There's no satisfying these teachers. Philosopher John. Pepper Club Costumes The members of the Pepper club have, at last, decided what type of costume they are going to adopt. The costume will be a white cape lined with red. On the front of the cape will be the red letter "P" which stands for Pepper. Red and white tarns will be worn. A cane on which a red and white pom-pom has been attached will complete the costume. Patra Young. Before In the Junior English class Miss Fernley has decided to try a new experiment. ex-periment. One of the pupils will be called upon to take charge of the class. Every day a different pupil will have a turn. Today Adele Kinney Kin-ney is to take chage of the clasi. I think this plan will prove very effective. effec-tive. Parley Booth. After In an attempt to teach the English class Monday morning I found out what the teachers have to do, and I certainly don't envy them. First everyone is unprepared, and you have to find something else for them to do. You give them ten minutes min-utes to write a newspaper article, and they try to take the rest of the period in which to do it. Then you try to read to them, and they won't pay attention. You ask them to write what you read, and you get a merry ha! ha! I think I shall choose a field other than teaching for my life's work. Adele Kinney. Trouble Troubles! That's all there has been this week. Naomi fell on the ice and cracked her thumb. I think it was her thumb. Laurel fell down the stairs when she was arguing with a seventh grader. Besides this, there were only three in the algebra class. Well, three or four, then! Anyway only a few! They have had the "flu," I think. I'm kind of "unsure" of myself, but none of this is true, so it doesn't matter anyway, any-way, at least, I don't think it does. Katherine Hendrickson. Why The Downcast Looks Are you townspeople wondering why everyone looks so downcast up here at school ? Are you wondering why so many of the students are carrying such monstrous loads of books home at night ? It may be that you think the teachers teach-ers are revolting. No, it's just that the term ends just one week from this Friday. Janet Rollins. Oh, is it a test? No, I hardly think so, the paper isn't big enough. Is it a theme ? No, Bud Hutchins sits right by her desk; he sees everything and he doesn't look as if he had been poisoned. It must be something because be-cause a long line has started for the pencil sharpener. The paper having been passed, our doom is pronounced. "Now write a newspaper article. Do it now so you can hand it in after class." With this Miss Fernley covers her board with sentences for some unfortunate English class. It certainly is too bad the "Milford News" comes out so often. Don't you think twice a year is plenty? Laurel Laur-el Johnson. Date For Opera It has been decided that our school opera Bobby will be given December 21. All the cast has been chosen using us-ing very good choice with Bill Tribole Tri-bole as Bobby and Vernice Smith as Ann, Bob's girl. You will be very sorry if you miss this opera as they are working very hard to make it a success. Margaret Peterson. Basketball Beginning today, Monday, November Novem-ber 2S, the Milford high school basketball bas-ketball team is to begin basketball in earnest. Our team members are small but are very effective in basket shooting. Therefore, we are sure to be division winners this year. Norman Nor-man Baxter. Try and Make This Cake While Mrs. Brown was busy washing wash-ing dishes in the kitchen, she heard someone giving a recipe over the radio. ra-dio. Jimmie was in the front room, so she asked him to take down the I recipe, as it was a recipe she had been trying very hard to get. Mrs. Brown went on washing her dishes, and Jimmie sat down in a chair in front of the radio. All was quiet for a while. When Mrs. Brown finished washing her dishes, she asked Jimmie if he had the receipe copied. He said that he had finished copying it, so she asked him to read it- He began to read the receipe that he had copied and this is what Mrs. Brown heard: My friends, Ida Bailey Allen will now give you a receipe for an Angel i Food Cake. Raise your right leg while you add two cup? of flour. One ( at a time you hold your right arm above your head as you add 16 egg whites. While you bend to the floor you add one level teaspoon of cream of taitar without bending your knees. While you add two cups of sugar you throw both arms high above your head. Without use of arms put in one-half ieaspoon of tartaric tar-taric acid and arise from floor. Put feet in oven and bake for two hours. To see if baked thoroughly stick tooth pick in feet. This makes a very delicious cake, and is very simple to make. Virginia Baxter, eighth grade. I |
