HALLOWEEN PARTY 'ARE SUCCESSFUL 1- The Ringwood seventh and eighth graders put on a play on Friday afternoon at the jtchoolhouse for all school youngsters and any of the i parents who wished to come. I The talent these boys and girls i showed was marvelous. They all worked very hard on the ! scenery as well as the lines. The play was entitled: "Election Day In Spooksville," under the superb direction of the teacher and principal, Arthur F. Smejkal. The cast was as foUows: Danny Betts as Frank IN.- Stein, Jr.; Katy Holcolb, Vatnpira Lucifer; Bob Brennan, Dr. Jack L. Hyde; Larry Harvey, Mayor Lucifer; Jim Rhoades, Mummy Fyde; Michele Rassmessen, Loralie; Debbie-- and--Dolores Betts, two witches; Bob Klapperich, Zack; Bob White, Harry Mane; Leroy Diedrich, Charlie; Loretta Flynn, Jane McCulloy; and Kathy Baker as the Chain Rattlers; Lennie Ackerman as Igor; Margo Andreas as Ma Cobber; and Ernie Malsch as the Ghost Writer. The plot was as follows; Frank Stein, Jr., is running for the position as mayor of Spooksville on the reform party ticket. First not welcome, but later persuades the people that his platform is good. He then falls in love with the mayor's daughter, but she will not have him as she does not want to give up* her Spooksville living. As the last effort of the Mayors, he brings Frank N. Stein, Sr., to Spooksville to scare the people back to their senses. The story ends happily as Mayor Lucifer wins the election and Frank N. Stein, Jr., as a son-in-law. • Good work done by all. I'd like to congratulate all of the boys and girls who worked so hard. I'm sure all of the parents who were lucky enough to come and watch your play are just as proud as I am.

The incident itself was not of great importance, but required disciplinary action to maintain authority in 4 a school which now numbers more than 1,300 students. What was important concerned the action of a good portion of the parents who were called before administrators prior to reinstatement. Almost without exception, the mother or father , who talked privately with the principals admitted that this sort of behavior could not be condoned and that some form of discipline was necessary! The entire picture changed, however, when moms and dads accompanied their daughters and sons to a general meeting. Abusive' language and accusations were generously and loudly voiced as parents flaunted authority in the presence of an age group for which this rule of conduct should be the most important of all. The issue of moral conduct entered into the political campaign just ended. The merit of that debate gained stature locally last week with the disgraceful conduct ' of men and women who should be teaching their children respect for authority. The highKjSchool episode would be most unfortunate even if the young folks were in the right. Facts that substantiate their story as "hear-say" are in our posses-... sion; which makes the incident even more regrettable. Most of these young people are upstanding teenagers who need a little guidance. Give them a break, parents, and admit they can make a mistake even though they belong to you. Whether we're right or wrong, and whether we like it or not, all of us are going to be living under authority the rest of our lives. It's a good deal more pleasant if we learn to have respect for it.
