Mrs. Lloyd Fisher and Mrs. Zella Scheid attended the church services at the Ivanhoe Congregational church on Sunday morning. Mr. and Mrs. Albert! Hafer became members of the churchr at the services Sunday morning. Mra. Frank St. George called at th# "Poor Dear Edgar!" Aside from the fact that Gerald Larkin received such^ a pitiable name in the annual Senior class play at the high school auditorium last Friday night, he seems to have stolen the show, according to many reports, and has been typed as a good double for James Stewart Of movie fame. By the way, the title of the three-act comedy was also "Poor Dear Ed<rar," a recently completed play by William Davidson. Hie entire production wta filled with clever puns and the numerous trying situations of poor Edgar Applethwaite k?pt the audience in an uproar. Miss Helen Stevens, director, is due much credit for the effort she put into this production; Donald Tonyan, speaking in behalf of the Senior class, expressed his appreciation to her and presented her with a token of gratitude. The play itself followed two musical selections by the high school orchestra. The other characters are not to be sligted for each player put heart and soul into the role he or she was portraying and by so doing, provided a most enjoyable evening. Mabel Bolger, ever popular in school activities, must have felt rather at home in her role. Lorraine Schaefer was tops as she portrayed the kleptomaniac daughter of the president. Marjorie Duker gave a fine character portrayal of the old housemaid. Kenneth Cristy. Jr.. and Joseph Gausden "•ere tv^ical college bovs. and Ethel Althoff, a typical girl about the campus. David Swanson, Anita Althoff and Pearl Smith gave excellent character interpretations of the oldsters about a colleee who at times tend to make life unbearable. Robert Schulz added the right touch as the scheming orchestra leader and last, but not least, Geraldine Becker showed the audience a few dance steps as the funloving entertainer. Now the class of 1940 is seriously thinking of graduation and that which will follow. As Shakespeare wrote. "All the world's a stage, and all the men and women merely players." Since our local performers did such a fine job Friday night, we see no reason why they cannot play the game of life as well.
