Junior Class Presents Sing A very attractive program was presented Saturday night by the Junior Class. The first number was a quartet composed of Miss Virginia Potts, Franc3S Potts. Mr. Graham, and Mr. Bell. They sang first "Swing Low Sweet Chariot." This was followed by a melody in which the girls sang "A Spanish Cavalier" and the men sang "Solomon Levi." After the quartet, a short minstrel was given. The part of Dinah, who was the center of attraction, was well acted by Alice McKay. The man whom she chose for her husband and whom she forced to propose to her was Margaret Eley. Nancy Harrison also played an important part, and her wisecracks brought forth many laughs from the audience.
SMALL FIRE CAUSES MUCH EXCITEMENT Fire! Fire! Fire! Ring the bell! Ring the bell, were the cries which rang through the building Friday night. Immediately the halls were crowded, and everyone was tingling with excitement, and fear. Uneasiness reigned in each heart until Miss Mary and Cousin Tommy arrived. They were greeted with smoke and flames pouring into the hall. The fire, which was one the second floor of gym hall caught from a loose wire connected with a reading lamp. Since the lamp was sitting in the window, the curtains burst into flame at once. However, it was soon gotten under control, and very little damage was done.

Elizabeth Welch, another everyday person, first demanded of Life that he give her bracelets and diamonds. These were granted, but she soon forgot the warning of Claudia and was too easily flattered by Life. Her crown was snatched from her, and she became a slave to Life, as Virginia Payne, Dorothy Justis, Billy Wilkinson and others representing people of today became slaves to Life. So Life became a two-face slave— at one time a master, at another a slave.
