MASK AND WIG CLUB

  The budding actors and actresses of the Mask and Wig Club have finished the third successful year under the direction of Mr. Brenholtz.
  The Club was organized in October, 1932, and the following officers were elected:
  Charles Donelson, President.

  Dorothy Watson, Vice-President.

  Thelma Coffman, Secretary.

  Fred Snyder, Treasurer.

  Charles Thompson, Reporter.
  During the year the Club gave three plays. The first of these was "Creepy Crest." A professor comes to an old house to write a thesis and is persuaded by his daughter to write a detective story. While at this old house they solve the disappearance of the owner of the house. The characters were: Prof. Penn, Harold Patterson; Mrs. Penn, Irene Peightal; their daughter, Helen Bergstresser; farmer, Robert Bayer; May Wills, Mary Stafford; Susie Moore, Hazel Corbin; Mr. Bugg, Fred Snyder, Lizzie Bugg, Nancy Meade.
  The second of these productions was a health play, "The Marriage Shop." Wm. Swigart and Dolly Sherman tried to buy a wife and husband respectively, but were jilted when the perfect models walked out on them and got married. Madame Nature, the storekeeper, was played by Thelma Coffman. The perfect models were Jean Kyper and Charles Thompson. The other models were Ann Morningstar, Laurena Pinezotto, Charles Donelson and Fred Snyder.
  The third play was "The Blue Bag." This play deals with a foolish bet to obtain a Blue Bag and some jewels smuggled into the country in a Blue Bag. The characters were as follows: Anton McDonald, Charles Donelson; his chauffeur, Ray Reuse; Chattanooga Elvira Livermore, the maid, Marie Shearer; Allan Ross and Enid Lauton, who are eloping, Edward Hatfield and Ann Morningstar; Letty Long, the actress, Thelma Coffman; Obediah Macklyn, Fred Snyder; Cindy Macklyn, Marie Norris; Bill Harrington, a U. S. Sheriff, Ned Johnston.

TRAVEL CLUB

  Many of us have neither money nor leisure to visit even a few of the noted places of interest here or abroad. However, this does not prevent us from enjoying the things folks travel far to see, provided we can see through the eyes of others. Nearby, "The Standing Stone of history tells of days gone by" only to those who learn how and where to read these fascinating tales. Then again, those of us who stay at home find increased enjoyment if
    "Our life, exempt from public haunt,
    Finds tongues in trees, books in the running brooks,
    Sermons in stones, and good in everything."
  Thus with a two-fold purpose, the Travel Club to which members of all four classes are eligible, was organized the fifth of December, 1932. At that time the following officers were elected:
  President, Robert McClain '33.
  Vice-President, David Snare '34.

  Secretary, Esther Fouse '35.
  Treasurer, Eleanor Fouse '35.
  Faculty Adviser, Miss Longenecker (Math.).
  During the six months, the Club has spent considerable time in trying to relive the early days of Huntingdon, first with the Indians, then with the original white settlers, through canal days up to the present. Following this actual trips have been described, such as the one to Washington, D. C., which included Franklin D. Roosevelt's inauguration and the accompanying parade. What to see in cities such as Pittsburgh and Philadelphia has been discussed. Tentative trips to various points of interest have been mapped out.
  Another feature was a trip to the Hi-Wa-May Caverns near Alexandria.
 

PRESS CLUB

  The Press Club was instituted in the Huntingdon High School in October, 1932, under the supervision of Mr. Fouse. It has a three-fold purpose as follows:
  1. To give students practical experience in the application of good English composition.
  2. To learn the fundamental principles of journalism.
  3. To conduct the newspaper publicity for the High School.
  Each week the members of the Club edited several columns of news articles which were published in the Huntingdon "Daily News" under the heading, "Huntingdon High School News."
  At various times during the year the Club was privileged to hear speakers during the Club period. These men were experienced journalists, and talked on the subject of newspaper work and journalism.
  Officers of the Club are:

   President, Eugene Shore.

  Vice-President, Blair Sponeybarger.

  Secretary, Elsie Norris.

THE LIBRARY CLUB AND STAFF

  "0 for a Booke and a shadie nooke,

    Eyther in-a-doore or out,
  With the greene leaves whisp'ring overhede
    Or the street cryes all about,

  Where I may Reade all at my ease,
    Both of the Newe and Olde,

  For a jollie goode Booke, whereon to looke,
    Is better to me than Golde."
                          -An Old English Folk Song.

  Strange people of strange lands, mystic secrets of far-away islands, hidden treasures of ages, long ago, queer incidents of historical figures, commonplace tales of people who might live next door, thrilling deeds of heroic men and women, lovely thoughts of beautiful poetry - all these and many more the Library Club finds, loves, and shares with others.
  What a glorious time they have doing all sorts of interesting and fascinating things! Making a colonial fireplace in one corner of the Library, an Indian exhibit in another, making posters, solving book jigsaw puzzles, guessing authors and titles of books, finding names to books suggested by pictures, giving plays - this is only a little of the fun that the Library Club has.
  Miss Lillian Harbaugh, Assistant Librarian of the Juniata College Library, came down two mornings and talked to the Club. She told many interesting incidents of books and library work. Everyone listened spellbound, thrilled by new glimpses into this fascinating world.
  One afternoon the Club visited the Juniata Library to see the collection of works of knowledge that it contains. Especially interesting was the vault with its old German Bibles, manuscripts, documents, and relics of many years.
  The girls who help in the Library got very distinguished looking blue felt armbands with red letters L. S. (Library Staff) on a gold open book.
  It's really a lot of fun to open and "dress" new books with their appropriate possessions, to make posters, to help other people find interesting books, to look up reference questions, and to do the hundred and one other things connected with a library. Anyone who is interested in books and people would enjoy the Library Club.
  These officers have served this year:
  First Semester:
    President, Betty Beck.
    Vice-President, Mary Ruth Myers.
    Secretary-Treasurer, Peggy Gump.
  Second Semester:
    President, Betty Beck.
    Vice-President, Mary Stafford.
    Secretary-Treasurer, Peggy Gump.

CHORAL CLUB

BOYS' GLEE CLUB

  Of all the organizations in the High School this year, probably the most outstanding is the Boys' Glee Club.
  The Club was organized soon after school began last September, and has been very active during the whole year. At the first meeting the officers were chosen to be:
  President, Robert Bayer.

  Secretary, Blair Sponeybarger.

  Librarian, Wendell Wear.
  The boys began immediately to prepare for a concert, to be held during the Thanksgiving season. This was a decided success, and praise for the Glee Club was on the lips of almost everyone who heard it.
  Soon after this Club began to prepare for the Forensic League contests, and although Prof. Johnson, the leader, had very little hopes of winning anything, the boys in the Club decided to surprise him.
  This they did, sailing through the county contests with no trouble at all. Receiving the right to enter the district contest, they journeyed to State College, where again they won first place.
  The winning of the district championship gave them the right to enter the State contest.
  The boys, with the championship in sight, could not bear to see it fade away, so they buckled down to real work, and through the patience of Mr. Johnson the boys were able to attain a position which was almost perfect.
  The contests were held in Sunbury on Friday afternoon, April 29, and after a hearty send-off by Mr. Everard, they were on their way.
  It was rumored that Mr. Johnson nearly fainted when the judges presented him with a silver loving cup, and declared the Huntingdon High School Glee Club to be the State champions.
  Regretting that they must leave, the Seniors congratulate Mr. Johnson on his achievement, and hope that in the future he will produce many more such glee clubs.

BAND

  The band was organized soon after school began last September. At its first meeting the following officers were elected:

  President, Blair Sponeybarger.

  Secretary, Charles Davis.

  Librarian, Wm. Swigart.

  Assistant Librarian, Ed. Corbin.
  The band was led by Prof. Johnson, and through his efficient direction we were soon able to play.
  Mr. Getty taught the boys how to march, but it was of no use, we were not convicts.
  The band attended every football game at home and every game but one away. The trips to Jersey Shore and Altoona were very colorful, and the band was applauded very enthusiastically for its appearance.
  The band also played at every home game of the basketball team, furnishing snappy music during intermissions.
  The band played several times in chapel and in the Thanksgiving concert.
  The Seniors deeply regret that their presence will be seen no more, but they hope, that the band will steadily grow larger until it has become one of the best in the state.
 

ORCHESTRA

  Soon after the opening of school in September, the High School Orchestra, consisting of forty members, assembled for its meeting. This meeting was devoted to the election of officers. The following were chosen:
  President, William Todd.
  Secretary-Treasurer, Mary Stafford.

  Librarian, William Swigart.
  Assistant Librarian, Samuel Wagner.

  Under the efficient direction of Prof. Donald Johnson, the Orchestra presented a Thanksgiving Concert in the Auditorium on November 22, in conjunction with the Glee and Choral Clubs.
  During the football and basketball seasons, ten members of the Orchestra played for the pep meetings held each Friday in Chapel.
  In the course of the year, the Orchestra presented several chapel programs and furnished the music for the Senior Class Play and the Commencement exercises.
  The last program of the season was presented as a part of a Musicale, held May 16th, to which the public was invited. The coming year brings prospects of a yet bigger and better High School Orchestra.
 

DEBATE CLUB

  President, Ellsworth Shope.

  Vice-President, Harold Patterson.

  Secretary, Rachel Port.

  Treasurer, Thomas Shumaker.

  Coach, Mr. Fouse.
  The question for debate this year, as prescribed by the Pennsylvania Forensic and Music League, was: Resolved, That at. least one-half of all state and local revenues should be derived from sources other than tangible property.
  After the material on the question was collected and the speeches were prepared, try-outs were conducted by Mr. Fouse, and the following teams were selected
  Affirmative: Paul Casner, Ellsworth Shope, Willis Beckel, Lynn Corcelius.
  Negative: Harold Patterson, Arthur Neary, Samuel Wagner, Thelma Whitesel.
  The teams had a schedule of interscholastic debates and were successful in winning seven out of eight. Both the affirmative and the negative teams competed with the opposite teams of the schools with which debates were held. They are as follows:
  Broad Top Twp. vs. H. H. S., won 2.

  Saxton vs. H. H. S., won 1; lost 1.

  State College vs. H. H. S., won 2.

  Bellefonte vs. H. H. S., won 2.
  Total - won 7, lost 1.
  The debate season closed with the county contests and the fifth annual debate club banquet.

SPEAKWELL CLUB

  Soon after organization the Club members chose the name "Speakwell," for they realized that now-a-days people are judged by their ability to speak correctly and well. They also realized that later in life they would be called upon to express their views in the affairs of the world in social, religious, civil or political life. If one cannot put his ideas into words, one cannot expect to hold the attention of the people, so the purpose of the Club has been to stress these points and to strive to overcome such difficulties.
  Offices are held by:
  President, Ruth Ayres.

  Secretary, Adeline Johnson.

  Faculty Adviser, Miss Benson.

FRENCH CLUB

  The first meeting of the French Club was held December 5th, 1932. At this meeting the officers for the year were elected as follows:
  Chairman, Bernice Heffner.
  Vice-President, Dorothy Hess.

  Treasurer, Steel Swope.
  Secretary, Eleanor Wright.
  With these officers and under the leadership of Miss Barrick, we began our club activities. During the year the time was delightfully spent in playing French games, singing French songs, having reports and dialogues, and reading poems and holding conversations. We were greatly honored by having Miss McCrimmon and Professor Oller, from Juniata College, to speak to us. Pins were secured bearing the letters "F. C." on them. We were brought closer to the French people by the letters which many of the Club members received from France.
  We hope that the French Clubs, hereafter, have as interesting programs as we had and that they will gain just as much from them.
  "C'est le premier pas qui compte."

HI-Y CLUB

  There has been drawn together and firmly established in the Huntingdon High School a group of young men with a purpose to create, maintain, and extend throughout the school and community high standards of Christian character. This three-fold purpose is carried out by the standard Hi-Y plank, which consists of clean speech; clean sports, clean scholarship, and clean living.
  At the opening of school a group of sixty-five boys gathered under our standard. The new officers took their places and under the faithful guidance of Prof. Kenneth E. Sheetz, our faculty adviser, the Club has carried out many new accomplishments and at the same time has endeavored to live up to its purpose. The Huntingdon Hi-Y now stands as the eleventh best club in the state of Pennsylvania out of the four hundred other clubs.
  The accomplishments of the club for the past year consist of a boys' and girls' Hi-Y hike, a visit to every church in Huntingdon for the purpose of receiving the different angles on the many forms of religion. the establishment of a hand-book in Huntingdon High School, a Christmas party for the poor boys of Huntingdon, and a father and son banquet which proved to be a great success.
  Other interests of the club consist of the securing of prominent business men of Huntingdon as speakers, Bible study, movies and entertainments, both along the musical and educational line.
  President, Richard McCoy.

  Vice-President, Ellsworth Shope.

  Secretary, John Steiner.

  Treasurer, Guy Pandolfino.

  Faculty Adviser, Kenneth E. Sheetz.

GIRLS' TRI-HI-Y CLUB

  The Girls' Tri-Hi-Y Club has had a very successful year. The activities have been based upon the four-fold life, Physical, Mental, Social, and Religious.
  The club has a total membership of 130, thus making it the second largest group in the state.
  Our Club, with the Boys' Club and about 200 young people of the town, attended a Youth Rally on Prohibition, which was sponsored by the Flying Squadron.
  A Pilgrim Party was held at Thanksgiving in the Presbyterian Church, which was very unique and was enjoyed by all present.
  A Christmas Party was held for the needy children, at which 50 children were made happy. On Christmas Eve we sang carols at the Hospital and other places in town, after which we attended the midnight candle lighting service at the Reformed Church.
  We had the pleasure of having Miss Ione Sikes, Assistant Young People's Superintendent of Pennsylvania, with us at a very unusual meeting held in the form of an outdoor council circle, indoors.
  A Tri-Hi-Y District Rally, comprising our club and about ten other clubs in this section of the state, was held at the Reformed Church on March 16. We had devotions, reports from all the clubs present, discussion on the camp project, a fellowship hour and "eats," and discussion groups on service projects for Tri-Hi-Y Clubs. There were about 150 girls present under the leadership of Mr. L. H. Kohl and Mr. L. S. Erickson.
  Another interesting project taken up at the meetings during the year were the discussion groups on "Ideals" and "Friendship" under the leadership of Miss Hooper and Miss Nace.
  We hope to send four or five representatives to the Tri-Hi-Y camp at Newton Hamilton this summer.
  Other interesting activities were: A reception for the Senior girls, a Mother and Daughter Social, a breakfast hike, and an induction service for the new members.
  The officers of the Club were:
  President, Betty Beck.
  Vice-President, Mary Ruth Myers.
  Secretary, Peggy Gump.
  Treasurer, Jane Steiner.

MOLECULE BUSTERS

Chemistry Club

  The first meeting of the Molecule Busters' Club was held Monday, Dec. 5, 1932. At this meeting the following officers for the club were elected:
President, Charles Davis.
Vice-President, Paul Noel.
Secretary-Treasurer, Allen Hoover.
Program Critic, Mr. Getty.
  At the next meeting, it was decided that each member should contribute one cent a week, which was to be used for scientific films or magazines. At this meeting a constitution was presented by the Constitutional Committee, and it was adopted by the club.
  Meetings are held each Monday morning The object and purpose of the club is to give its members a knowledge and interest in science and a more intelligent view of the practical side of science, which enters into our everyday lives. Each week an interesting program is given by the members of the club. These reports are about the latest scientific happenings of the week. Many amazing experiments are performed by the use of chemicals. Due to the co-operation of its members, the club has proved to be a success, and many more delightful meetings are looked forward to by the members of the club.

APPLIED SCIENCE CLUB

  On December 5, 1932, at 10:00 A.M., students who had been appointed to the Applied Science Club met in Room B for organization, and with the aid of Mr. Zilius, the Club Adviser, the following members were elected to serve as officers:

  President, Jack Bert.

  Vice-President, Wilbur Rumberger.

  Secretary, Milton West.

  Assistant Secretary, Maurice Shultz.

  This club studies every day scientific problems furnished by members of the club and Mr. Zilius.  With new inventions being made and discoveries being uncovered, the club proves to be quite an interesting one.

Milton West.

FRESHMAN SCIENCE CLUB

  The Freshman Science Club was organized under the direction of Mr. Ulsh. The following officers were elected:

 President, Richard Rhodes.

Vice-President, Frank Miller.

Secretary, William Bollinger.

  The meetings were mainly devoted to the discussion of scientific problems, among which were astronomy, hygiene, first aid, and nature study. An experiment was performed every week to stimulate interest. Reports were given and discussed.
  The club sponsored several trips to the industries of Huntingdon and vicinity, namely, the filtration plant, ice plant, gas plant, and Benson's creamery. We are also planning a hike to Warrior Ridge Dam.

HOME ECONOMICS CLUB

  One Monday morning near the end of the first semester, thirty-five girls, a few from each class in the school, gathered in Room A, under the leadership of Miss Pheasant, to form the Home Economics Club. Our first meeting was spent in electing officers. The following officers were chosen:
  President, Janet Hood.

  Secretary-Treasurer, Jean Hoffman.
  We selected as our motto, "As Our Girlhood Is Now; So Shall Our Womanhood Be."
  Creed:
  It shall be known that the Home Economics Girl stands for Good Health, Correct Dress, Good Conduct, and Sharing Home Responsibilities. Every girl who Joins this Home Economics Club chooses these standards of living as her ideal and endeavors to live up to them. In the standard of Good Health all health rules shall be exercised, in the standard of correct dress good taste and appropriateness to the occasion, and last in standard of good conduct all rules of etiquette are observed.
  The programs are varied from time to time. Two club meetings from each month were used for amusement or entertainment. The other two meetings were devoted to matters more educational in the Home Economics field. The programs were all interesting and proved worthwhile. All the members of the club were active. Plays were given pertaining to correct school and dress wear, good conduct, etiquette and health. A style show was also given in which various members took part, showing the correct and incorrect manner of dress according to what to wear, when, suitability to person, time, and place.
  Under the leadership of Miss Pheasant, who helped to make this club a success, we feel grateful to her for helping to explain the subjects we had for discussion.

NATURAL HISTORY CLUB

  The purpose of the Natural History Club is to broaden the knowledge of the Biology student with what is being accomplished in the field of biological science.
  The aim of the organization is being carried out by reports given by different members of the Club concerning natural history.
  The programs have been varied from time to time by interesting experiments and discussions by Mr. Meloy.
  Officers elected for the first semester:
  President, Marshal Showalter.

  Vice-President, Bernard Port.

  Secretary-Treasurer, Robert Cree.
  Officers elected for the second semester:
  President, James Foster.

  Vice-President, Tom Garner.

  Secretary-Treasurer, Robert Cree.
  The members of the Program Committee, consisting of Robert Clark, Robert Lincoln and John Zinn, were elected for the entire year.

SECRETARIAL CLUB

  The Secretarial Club, composed of students of the first and second-year shorthand classes, was organized on December 5, 1932. At this meeting the following officers were elected: President, Wilbur Bunn; Vice-President, Helen Brandt; Secretary, Catherine Biddle; and Treasurer, Dorothy Jane Demarest.
  At the weekly meetings, many subjects of interest to the prospective office worker were discussed, including the use of the telephone in business, the sources of business information, telegraph service, qualities of the good stenographer, business manners and courtesy, filing, etc. Several humorous sketches were cleverly given that illustrated the "personal interview" for a position.
  In January, the members of the Club visited the manufacturing plant of the J. B. Kunz Co. Each member was very much interested in seeing just how their bank "pass books" were made, and heartily appreciated the explanations given by Mr. John B. Kunz.
  Later, trips were taken through plants of the J. C. Blair Co. and of the Daily News.
  At the regular meeting on April 24, Jean Hicks was elected Secretary to fill the unexpired term of Catherine Biddle, who left school to fill a stenographic position.
  William Lindsay, an active member of the Club, has been working for the past several months on a part-time basis in the office of the John R. Wald Company. He is associated there with Huntingdon High School Alumni who helped organize the Secretarial Club several years ago.
  Under the capable direction of Miss Phyllis Zeigler, and through the co-operation of all the members and the several splendid program committees, another successful and profitable year has been completed.
 

GIRLS' ATHLETIC CLUB
 

  The Girls' Athletic Club is an entirely new wrinkle in the High School life. It has created new interest among the girls in sports and other activities usually confined to boys.
  Under the capable direction of Miss Miller, who has been interested for several years in the extension of sports for girls, the club was organized. Jane Trude has acted as a most efficient president, and with her help many interesting programs were arranged. Other officers who helped to make the club an unqualified success are Vice-President Fay Dean, Secretary Anna Rohm, and Reporter Virginia Kurtz. During the year an appointed committee framed the constitution, which will serve in the coming years as a "backbone" to the club.
  Our programs consisted of discussions and. demonstrations of all sports in which girls may participate. The principles of basketball were thoroughly discussed. These discussions were enlightening and instructive, especially to those girls who knew little about the game.
  Every girl who belongs to the Girls' Athletic Club feels that it has been worthwhile, and next year with the advantage of being a more experienced group even greater benefit will be derived from membership in the club.

NEWSREAL STAFF

  One of Mr. Fouse's greatest ambitions in the line of school activities was to instigate a school paper. Acting accordingly, with the aid and consent of the administration, he placed the proposition before the student body and the idea was met with unanimous approval. The name "Newsreal," submitted by Joe Royer, was chosen by the students as the name of the paper. Paul Casner, the only staff member to be elected by popular vote, was chosen editor-in-chief.
  This year the staff has edited and published five editions of the "Newsreal," and are proud of the fact that the paper has been practically self-supporting and wholly free of advertisements.

EASY HOUR CLUB

  Wednesday, October 12, 1932 A. D., a meeting without a name was held in Room O for the purpose of electing the parliamentary officers of this aforesaid room.
  When the "battle smoke" of the election cleared away we have "Bob" Bayer occupying the President's chair; "Archie" Davis, trying to make his ungainly physique look dignified, as Vice-President; "Dick" McCoy, keeping official minutes; "Howd" Miller, collecting "cold cash" like a good Treasurer; and "Charlie" Allen and Jake Kylor, as "Chief Bouncers."
  The money piled up in the treasury until the question arose, what to do with it?
  "Dynamite" David, our chief motion-maker, made a motion that a "feed" be held. This was seconded immediately by "Bucksie" Decker, our chief motion-seconder. So it was agreed to hold a banquet for the basketball team at Fisher's Restaurant.
  The places of honor were filled by the team; their coach, Mr. Peiffer; Mr. Everard, Principal and former coach; and Mr. Meloy. The grace was asked by the Club's Secretary, Richard McCoy, and hungry boys "fell to" with as little commotion as may be expected.
  After the plates were cleared away, our witty Vice-President pulled a few terrible jokes. Mr. Peiffer was then called upon to do his little bit, and Mr. Meloy revealed some of his hidden talent by reading a poem he had composed about the basketball team in Dutch dialect. Paul Casner entertained the Club by playing a few selections on his harmonica, and the Captain of the team, Howard Kylor, was called upon for a speech. Some more hidden talent was revealed. Mr. Everard then gave some real jokes and the toastmaster, not to be outdone, pulled some more terrible ones, after which the Alma Mater was sung and the banquet broke up.
  The boys of Room O were glad to show their appreciation of the team and are always at the service of Huntingdon High.

MATHEMATICS CLUB
 

  The purpose or aim of the Mathematics Club is to develop an appreciation of Mathematics, a greater interest in it, and a broader understanding of the subject than can be secured in the regular class work.
  The main feature of the Club is the regular program which is given each week after the transaction of necessary business. These programs cover a wide range of subjects, most of which fall into one of these three groups:
  (1) The history of mathematics.
  (2) The application of mathematics.
  (3) Occasional plays or mathematical contests.
  At different times during the year the Club members were given some interesting facts and problems in some topics of College Algebra, Analytic Geometry, and Calculus. They were shown how to find the equation of a line through two given points; how to solve simultaneous equations by Determinants; how to "unadd" fractions; how to find areas under curves; and how to do some simple operations with the slide rule.
  These discussions and problems stimulated quite a lot of interest in higher mathematics.
  At the first meeting of the Club, the following officers were elected:
  William Ciccarelli, President.

  Jacob Kylor, Secretary.
  Mahlon Hoover, Treasurer.

  Mr. Hess, Faculty Adviser.

SENIOR CLASS PLAY
 

  "Well, at last it's finished," sighed a group of tired but happy actors, the evening of March 2. The annual Senior Class Play, looked forward to for three years, was now among our souvenirs.
  "Oh, Professor," a three-act farce, written by Katharine Kavanaugh, was especially well adapted to its cast in that all of the action centered around Brixton Academy, a school for girls, where a summer session was being held. The first act introduces Dr. Aristotle (Charles Davis), dean of the school, who has been ordered a vacation because of his ill health. In the Doctor's absence the school is left in charge of Miss Frederica (Helen Africa), the dean's assistant. The new professor, Percival Courtwright (John Steiner), is impersonated by Michael Pemberton (William Swigart), a rich play boy who is trying to escape the clutches of Mlle. Fifi (Marie Shearer), a French chorus girl, who has pursued him to America. While Professor Courtwright is pretending to be Captain Mont Morency on Mike's money and Fifi is falling for him - incidentally the money. Jimmy Anderson, an old friend of Mike's, shows up at the school and demands protection from his family who are trying to put him into a sanitarium. Mike's false position was ticklish enough before, but after Jimmy becoming "Emily," poor Mike is nearly crazy. To make matters worse Patrica Patterson (Betty Beck), the girl Mike really loves, comes back to school and accuses him of being an imposter. At about this time Mlle. Fill discovers Mike's whereabouts. However, she declaring Mike to be "nozzing more zan a poor school teacher," decides to favor Monty. In the meantime Miss Frederica sends for Dr. Aristotle, as she is "all of a tremble" trying to keep the four students, Fluff (Thelma Coffman), Bertha (Catherine Biddle), Jean (Hazel Corbin), Belle (Jean Hicks), out of mischief. Fluff and "Emily" complicate matters even more by falling for each other and Jake (Dick McCoy), the janitor causes more than a little fun trying to collect enough money for a new suit. Upon Dr. Aristotle's arrival, he discovers Mike to be the son of his old friend Tom Pemberton. Miss Frederica and Dr. Aristotle seem strongly happy that the vacation is ended and the final curtain falls as Mike and Patty forgive and forget.
  The play was quite a success and the cast and Mr. Brenholtz were praised highly for their commendable work in the production.
  A group of excellent specialties were presented under the direction of Katherine Scalia and Dorothy Watson.
  Although this play was the first dramatic attempt of the Seniors, they received excellent co-operation and the amateurs went over "big."
