SALT LAKE CITY, Siren Vamps Editor in Production of 'Ever Since Eve9 Southern lass Joyce Melroy smiles sweetly at bewildered Royal Nielsen as Elaine West suspiciously watches. 4 Girls Plan ''Omit Noise9 Campaign Members of S. H. A. G. council have voluntarily undertaken a sil-ence campaign, the purpose of which is to omit unnecessary noise in assemblies and halls. Actual campaigning commenced yesterday when unusual posters appeared on the corridor walls. Through the medium of posters, at ' tempts are being made to remind those with an abnormal abundance of vocal capacity to cease all ex-cessive vociferation. Working on the assumption that the masculine portion of the school is responsible for the lion's share of noise that clings to the atmos-phere surrounding hall and audi-torium, S. H. A. G. is appealing to the boys through the fairer sex, a method which is certain to succeed, it was announced by Elaine Hun-sake- r, president of the organiza-tion. "S. A. M. pledges Its full sup-port," says head man Jack Lowder. S.H.A.G. Purchases Furniture New furniture will soon be placed in Dean Lucile Monay's S. H. A. G. office. Miss Monay, dean of girls, has announced, "The furniture has been selected 'and is waiting to be okeh'd. Defense priorities will de-termine the date of arrival. The set consists of four pieces, a couch and three easy chairs. The couch may be used as a loveseat, or as individual chairs. Miss Monay also states, "The new furniture we are getting is very similar in material to the fur- -' , niture that is in teacher's room." The furniture in the teacher's room is of a cotton novelty weave and has a natural oak framework. Cast Repeats School Play Performance Ringing down the curtain on the premiere of the school play, "Ever Since Eve," the South high school student cast is preparing for th second performance this evening" at 8:15 p. m. after a successful opening last night. Joe Hughes, versatile alumnus who has taken parts in school plays and the opera in previous years was called to take the part of Bob Evershed last night in the role of Mr, Clover. Johnny Clover, editor of the "Preston High Penguin," finds himself caught between two "Eves," Susan Blake and Lucybelle Lee, a charming southern lass. How he solves this problem while editing a paper, combating the measles and an egotistical football captain provides an interesting plot, according to the first-nighter- s, who rocked with merriment in the capacity-fille- d auditorium. Royal Nielsen and Elaine West capably handled the leads of Johnny and Susan in the Yuletide setting. Joyce Melroy character-ized Lucybelle, and Randall Sund-ber- g provided a comedy element in the role of Cappy Simmons. Fred Osterloh played Spud Erwin, and Marjorie Wallin, his younger sis-ter, Betsy. Milton Hollstein and Bonnie Anderson supplied mature love interest in the roles of the school principal and journalism teacher. Joe Hughes and Vivian Edman played Mr. and Mrs. Clover. Howard Eckersley portrayed the part of Preston Hughes, handsome football captain. Assisting him as football players, were Byran Rog-erso- n, Frank Bailey, Dewey Brod-bec- k, and Nick Byhower. Mrs. Genevieve H. Wilcox, di-rector of the play, was assisted by Mis3 Edythe Johnson, costumes; Miss Rena Olsen, scenery settings; Roland Olson, lights and Stage crew; Vaughn Hendricks, dramatic director; and Elma LeBas, student assistant.

Agents Interview Girls for Work Girl students of South high school who are sixteen or over are being interviewed by agents of various stores, receiving work permits, and filling out other im portant blanks, in order that they may be able to receive employment during the Christmas holidays. Five hundred girls are seeking Work for the Christmas season, but only three hundred employees have been hired through the school. Miss Lucile Monay, dean of girls, said, "This year there have been more employees wanted for the Christmas rush than any other year." Many girls will start work on December 1 and continue until the new year. Stressing the points of looking older and more sophisticated are important details in acquiring a position in one of the down town stores. Some employers prefer blondes, while others prefer brun-ettes. Good grooming and a cheer-ful personality are assets wanted in stores. , Physical appearance is another essential required for a good sales girl. m I n S.H.A.G. Sponsors Yearly Masquerade "Mom and Me" was the theme of the annual mothers' and daugh-ters' masquerade which took place November 14. It began with an assembly demonstrating the cus-toms of "mom's" era and "my" time during childhood, school days, courtship, and marriage. Dawn Ryser as "Mom" and Marva Tingy as "Me" were readers. Old fashioned clothes and bicy-cles compared with their modern counterparts were displayed as decorations in the boys gym. Mounted portraits of the "Mom" and "Me" picture contest were featured along with new and old style dancing. Prizes were awarded to Beverly Parents and her mother, who dress-ed as vagrants, Mrs. Simper and daughter, Dolly, wearing clothes and accessories identical, and Ida Lee Jensen, dressed in old fash-ioned clothes, compared with Mrs. Jensen, who was wearing clothes of today. La Rene Carey was winner of the "Mom and Me" photo contest. Students Collect Toys for Repair In behalf of the needy chil-dren of Salt Lake City, South high school students gave toys freely to the local firemen during the week of November 17. Slides, chairs, dolls, wagons, and toy trains 'were among the many toys collected from the various home rooms. These toys were taken to the fire station where they were repaired and painted. A "back shop" was equipped by the Elks Club for the repairing of the broken playthings. Dolls of different shapes and sizes were dressed by the "Ladies of the Elks." "Many young hearts will be gladdened on Christmas morn-ing through the splendid efforts of the students, fire departments, and the members of the Elks lodge. "This year the student body was generous in giving used toys to the under-privileg- ed children of our community as in previous years," states Stan Smith, student body president. . Director Forms Vocal Groups George H. Durham, of the music department at South high school, is now engaged in arranging various vocal groups to singj throughout the year on the school assemblies. A double quartet consisting of male voices, a double trio of fe-male voices, a triple trio of female voices, a double mixed quartet, and a small ensemble of sixteen mixed voices are being organized by Mr. Durham. Students for these groups will be selected from the girls and boys choruses and the A'Capella. Much time and thought is re-quired in the selection of these singers as in each vocal group every voice must blend well with each other and have complimen-tary tone value, Mr. Durham com-mented. Willardsen Directs Special Ensemble Advanced string players of the orchestra, under the direction of Armont Willardsen, have combin-ed their talents to form a string en-semble. The purpose of this organization is to promote interest in playing string orchestra music, and to teach its members how to blend as a group. Members will be taught how to play as well as hear the harmonization of each separate instrument. At a later date, the string en-semble, composed of advanced play-ers of violins, cellos, and string basses, will perform at school as-semblies and various public func-tions. Members of the string ensemble are Bill Smith, Lois Braby, Dar-len- e Haslam, Norma Hagen, Con-nie Marker, Dorothy Peterson, Elaine Brimley, Jean Campbell, Claudine Reid, John Riches, Ralph Boyer, Joe Geis, Shirley Nelson, Dorothy Fisher, and Doris Dibble.

Cummings, gen-eral sponsor. Dummy- - sheets for the football section are being made by the board of editors. The home room pictures which have been taken will occupy a complete section of the book.
