Honored in Playhouse Contest "Balcony Scene," Anaheim Union High school's entry in the Pasadena Playhouse One Act Play Tournament, was honored with a rating of "EXCELLENT," and was bettered only by the play given by the Army-Navy Academy, "I Am a Jew." AUHS Drama club, which sponsored "Balcony Scene," felt fortunate to rate so highly in Monday's seven-school competition, for this was the first time Anaheim had entered any Playhouse tourneys. Arriving at the Playhouse at 8:30 Monday morning, the cast rehearsed for an hour and then proceeded on a tour, guided by Fred Humphreys, third-year student at the Playhouse, of the costume rooms, scenery dock, rehearsal rooms, balcony and patio theatres and radio and television studios. The morning was highlighted by the permission of one of the directors for the cast to watch a rehearsal of the second-quarter Playhouse students do the soliloquy scene from "Hamlet." After lunch the students presented Miss Louise Hitt, director, a red feather carnation corsage in appreciation for the patience and hard work she had put in to present the play. "Balcony Scene" was given at 3 p.m., and received much commendation and praise. Dinner followed the afternoon's play tournament and then the Anaheimers viewed the Playhouse performance of William Shakespeare's "Much Ado About Nothing," which they heartily enjoyed. "Balcony Scene" had the following students in the cast: Jack Conklin, "Man;" Donald Legg, "Friend;" Margaret Eickholt, "Mother;" Leah Gerber, "Daughter;" John Simpson, "Husband;" Carole Schafer, "Wife;" Bob Hoskins, "Gangster;" Marion Caracausa, "Girl." Janet Schact and Jerre Locke accompanied the group to Pasadena and "made up" the cast, even having to dye John Simpson's hair. An enthusiastic, but exhausted, cast returned from Pasadena early Tuesday morning. When asked what they thought of their day's adventures, the cast answered with the general opinion "a lot of fun, a lot of work and extremely interesting." All requested Miss Hitt to enter the tournament again next year. This was the second performance of "Balcony Scene," which was also given April 12 for families, friends and all those who were interested. If enough enthusiasm is shown, Miss Hitt said she would arrange for another performance. TREES FOR ICELAND? REYKJAVIK, Iceland — Trees of Brazilian origin may decorate gardens and parks in the capital of treeless Iceland in a few years. Kaj A. Svanholm of Rio Janeiro has offered the city 5000 eucalyptus plants from Brazil. He visited Iceland last summer and thinks they might grow well. Last fall the Iceland government sent a special envoy to Alaska to gather seeds for Iceland's forestry program. Boston Common, a tract of nearly 50 acres, was set aside in 1634 to be used as a cow pasture and military training field. China next saw her in 1947 in Tiensin as director of religious education of the Chinese Wesley Methodist church. After one year there, and before North China was taken over by the communist she went on to Nanking and began teaching in the Union Bible Teachers Training school, and asisting in religious education work at Central Methodist church also located in Nanking. She has been working under the communist regime for two years, free to continue her religious work until just recentl when the Korean situation tended to produce a strained attitude between the two governments, and which definitely colored that government's views of any contribution any American could make to its country. January 6 of this year she left China, perhaps for the last time and relaxed for three months while touring Europe and other parts of Asia. Easter Sunday she heard 500 voices raised in "The Messiah" at Albert hall, London directed by Sir Malcolm Sargent. She docked on the Queen Elizabeth in New York, April 3, and arrived in Anaheim on April 5. She will spend the next two months with her father and they will attend various seminars, the first at Scarritt college in Nashville. This Sunday morning she will be guest speaker at the Anaheim Methodist church at the 10:50 a.m. service speaking o GOLDEN CITRUS JUICES, INC. pays growers over $1,700,000 in its first year! $46 TON AVERAGE FOR VALENCIAS IS TOP MARKET RETURN FOR '50 Golden Citrus Juices, Inc., one of California's newest industrial concerns, is the first major processing plant to make complete returns to growers for their 1950 fruit. This hustling processor for Blue Goose Growers and Shippers has rung up many other notable accomplishments during its first year. * This plant's efficient, modern design enabled it to operate at better than 110% of its rated capacity during the processing season. It surpassed any other single plant in California in total output of frozen citrus concentrates... yet operations did not start until May 1950. Already an expansion program is under way to increase capacity by 30%, with all new equipment installed and operating by this May 1st. Golden Citrus Juices and American Fruit Growers credit this outstanding success to three factors: (1) The efficient juice fruit diversion carried on by member houses; (2) The high degree of technical excellence attained by both plant and personnel; (3) The premium prices obtained for the high quality concentrates produced. AMERICAN FRUIT GROWERS, INC. 122 E. 7th St., Los Angeles 14, California Brownies Tour Gazette Office Gazette premises were thoroughly inspected yesterday by Brownie Troop No. 61. Twenty-six Brownies arrived at 3:30 p.m. for a guided tour through the Gazette offices and press room. Their leader, Mrs. Elmer Peter, and five mothers, herded the wide-eyed troops through the display advertising department, through the editorial department, and into the composing room. Jack Morris, limotyper, gave a brief explanation and demonstration of the uses and techniques in operating the limotype. The process began about a half hour after their arrival and the roar had the girls rooted to the spot, watching the huge presses turn and roll out the finished evening's paper. Journey's end was the stereotyping department. Here the girls patiently sweated it out while Jim Allan, stereotyper, gave a demonstration showing how the molten lead in vats were poured into molds and display ads come out, ready for the press. This tour was only one item on a planned agenda of informative and educational projects worked out by the troop leader and advisors. Other trips this year have included tours through the Calva Farm Dairy, a goat farm, a penny hike, a ceramics markers place, and they were shown how to make pillows.
