auditorium Friday evening was received by a full house. Each character was right at home in his or her part and to the layman at least no flaws were in evidence anywhere, the players behaving like seasoned actors. While the work of the members of the cast is deserving of much praise for the players themselves, a great deal of credit for the success of the presentation must go to the director, Mr. Basil Borough, who worked long and diligently to bring about the splendid results achieved.
The music, by courtesy of Jack Wade and his orchestra, also drew its full share of applause from the audience, and the following splendid specialties were thoroughly enjoyed: The mixed quartet, composed of Mildred Brown, Helen Stevens, Earl Atkinson and Lloyd Patton; the Cupid Chorus, composed of Mary McWherter, Mildred Brown, Jessie Robinson, Beatrice Pritchard, Gertrude Smith, Gwendolyn Shuey; the instrumental duet by Elena Mead and Jack Wade, playing “Indian Love Call.”
Cast members were: Kathryn Kimberley, Genevieve Shickell, Velda Smith, Belle Vasey, Lillian Vasey, Margaret Holmes, Carl Atkinson, Jefferson Morrison, Mildred Gearhart, and Laurence Dodd. The cast will present the play tonight (Thursday) at the Maxwell High school auditorium.

Vocational Agriculture. The agriculture boys have taken up the subject of limestone. Although it does not pay to lime on some land for corn, it is very profitable on legume crops. “Legumes love lime and wherever legumes thrive, crop yields increase, livestock is kept, manures are supplied and a healthy, prosperous farming citizenry is developed and maintained.” The boys have also taken up soil testing which is necessary to determine for you the amount of lime required for a certain field. The agriculture boys will test soil, free of charge, for anyone who will bring the samples to the school house.
