CONVENIENT CREDIT Social and Club Activities Emma Jean Lawrence—Phone 2206 Unreserved Congratulations to Cate Of 'Glamour Boy'—Junior Class Piece By MARGARET BESLER In choosing Esther E. Olsen's comedy "Glamour Boy" for the Anaheim Union High School Junior play, Miss Hitt and her associates could not have selected a more vehicle. It is not only a gay little piece about high school life underneath a very unsubtle cloak it "has a message" also pertains closely to high school life and age. This very fact made it imperative that good taste be observed at all times—which often is difficult for even the veteran in broad comedy. Unreserved congratulations are in order for the cast for their discretion and disarming charm in their presentation. From the attractive program by Miss Virginia Oakley to the gentle background organ music by Frances Cowee there was thought and quite thorough preparation. It appears to be a slight story as it unfolds—concerned chiefly with the unfortunate status in school (and in life) of a timid little student, and the incidents which finally carry him and the play to a fortune and happy ending. But, with only a small amount of exaggeration for the sake of dramatic production, I am sure we have all, at one time or another, met or observed very similar situations in our own experiences. "Timid little student" in this case is Chauncey Jay Mooney, nicknamed "Peewee" to his utter sorrow but played by Don Jackson to the joy of all concerned. Acting a difficult role which so easily could have been overplayed, Mr. Jackson deftly avoided this temptation. He thereby succeeded in drawing a thoroughly believable and sympathetic character. Jerre Locke, Theresa Margaret Eickholt, and JJ handled lesser roles with teenage charm. At propitious moments they were joined by revelry by Helen Weir, Wood, Mally Brummet, Miller, Jan Fort, Ronnie and Gordon Chamberlain. Portray "Oldsters" Most difficult is for "teenagers"—by group handled their task at Kenneth Gross, as the high principal, carried a heavy ment deftly on his broad shoulders. He made himself appear pathetic and unsympathetic was demanded of him. Charles Huff, playing business tycoon and father heroine, gave an honest and sive portrayal in voice, look gestures. He could indeed quite frightening in his detention, which was what he required of him. Janet Schacht, as the teacher, seemed always inferior. Because of the role's and unpleasant moods she be commended for holding role so faithfully. Carol JoAnn Burdick, Donna Sheldon Welch, and Phil had fewer lines but each wportant and stood out at his moment.

Center st. The young guests played games then shared the enjoyment of the young hostess when she needed her gifts. Callions of all sizes festooned chandelier, hanging down to a pyramid on the center of table. Cercus animals paraded around sides of her large birthday room which four candles were burning. The young guests played games variousities were Kathie and Kris Zieve, Diane and Billie Heinze, Melia and Wendie Leo, Dave L., Kathy Wilmers, Barbaraermo and Susan Peters.

Lowell Hunt; "The Rise Of Russia In Asia," David J. Dallin; "The Handbook Of Timid little student” in this case is Chauncey Jay Mooney, nicknamed “Peewee” to his utter sorrow but played by Don Jackson to the joy of all concerned. Acting a difficult role which so easily could have been overplayed, Mr. Jackson deftly avoided this temptation. He thereby succeeded in drawing a thoroughly believeable and sympathetic character. Because of his small stature, his lack of athletic prowess, and (in this particular instance) his refusal to write his autobiography for English class, Peewee is buffeted about by students and teachers alike. In deperation he decided to write an autobiography of the glamour life he wishes he had led. And, it is unfolded on the stage as he reads his essay aloud to the office secretary, played by Shelly Smith with the right mixture of thoughtful efficiency and sympathy. Miss Smith at all times displayed a natural instinct for “good theater”. By an odd circumstance Peewee’s essay is stolen and entered in a national contest which it wins. This alternately causes consternation, great disorder, and eventually becomes good fortune for all concerned. The cast is divided into students playing the young school group and an older parent-teacher group. In addition to Mr. Jackson’s fine performance, among the students we enjoyed, and believed, the “heroine” Georgia Belle played by Joyce Shunk. She is pretty, carried her role gracefully, and has stage deportment of high caliber. Jack Conklin, playing the star athlete known as “Flash Horner” had the difficult task of making his character unpopular and keeping it that way—which is not an easy job.

Portray "Oldsters" Most difficult is for "teen-agers" to portray "oldsters"—but this group handled their task adroitly. Kenneth Gross, as the high school principal, carried a heavy assignment deftly on his broad shoulders. He made himself appear symathetic and unsympathetic as it was demanded of him. Charles Huff, playing the big business tycoon and father of the heroine, gave an honest and decive portrayal in voice, looks, and gestures. He could indeed seem quite frightening in his determinaton, which was what the part required of him. Janet Schacht, as the English teacher, seemed always in character. Because of the role's varying and unpleasant moods she is to be commended for holding to her role so faithfully. Carol Schafer.

Clementine displays the dollar she won at last Saturday's Anaheim Ebell Club Spring Flower Show. She received top honors in the junior division and won a total of seven ribbons for her floral efforts. More than one person carried away from AUHS auditorium last Friday evening a bit of reflective awareness of the underlying thought in this seemingly frothy play. Once more we should like to commend cast and staff, particularly Miss Hitt and her professional direction, for this reminder of the deep importance of trying to understand and respect the rights and human frailties of our fellowmen—be they teacher, pupil, or passerby. Margaret Fischer Honored at Pre-nuptial Showers No More Cutbacks In Coast Navy Installations SAN FRANCISCO, May 8 (UP)—There'll be no more cutbacks in West Coast Navy installations this year, says Undersecretary of the Navy Dan A. Kimball. He told newsmen here yesterday, "We are all set with the present installations and employee force, at least for the next year." Kimball said a reduction of staff and functions at the Mare Island hospital would compensate for an increase at Oak Knoll hospital. The undersecretary was here for an industrial relations conference today at Treasure Island. RAIL DISPUTE PROGRESS CHICAGO, May 8 (UP)—Federal mediators reported today they hope to head off a major railroad strike Wednesday by the Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen and Enginemen. A spokesman for the National (railway) Mediation Board, said "some progress" had been made in sessions Saturday and Sunday. Further progress was held up, he said, because both parties could not agree on one issue. The spokesman declined to say what the issue was. He said both sides are discussing the issue privately today. Meetings with Mediation Board members were to be resumed this afternoon and tonight. Kentucky, in 1926 was the first state to adopt an official bird, says the National Geographic Society. An excellent working set was revised by Ray Hamilton and was proper background for the colorful and appropriate girls' costumes from Ronnie's. A review of Glamour Boy would not be complete without mention of the remarkablearity of diction of the company, and, too, mention should be made of the artful makeup of the group. Effective Orchestra We cannot overlook the highly efficient orchestra and its director, William A. Cook. With this as a sample it is with real pleasure and anticipation that we look forward to a full orchestral concert by this group. Margaret Fischer Honored at Pre-nuptial Showers Bride-elect, Margaret Fischer was recently honored at two pre-nuptial showers, given in her honor by Mrs. Ray Heinze and Mrs. Arthur Mickel, at the Heinze home, 1114 W.
