Booska; The First church High School Players presented four one-act plays in the parish house last evening and provided genuine entertainment for the The plays were varied but all of interesting content and furnished excellent media for the young people's skills. The first sketch was a comedy entitled "Not Quite Such a Goose" and gave breath to the moment of transition when a boy becomes a man. at least in his own eyes. Frederiok Havens played the boy in his two phases with deftness and realism. His sister was suavely portrayed by Betty Newcombe.

while Lois Hitchcock was the capable, poised mother. Robert Jamison made a brief but adequate appearance as sister's big moment. while Peggy Haynes cleverly aided the young man in the growing-up process. Twc characters alone appeared in "The Acid Test." Alma Murray and Helen Ohl were typical of a long and close friendship, an intimacy so sure that it could endure mutual criticism but absolutely faltered and failed at criticism of each other's offsprings. The two girls brought out the contrast between amicable and inimical relations.

"Jean d'Arc" was a fantasy of the Maid of Orleans. Into the peasant home of Marie, played with loyalty by Ruth Post, her crippled son Rone, admirably carried by Jacob Bailey, brought news of the war.

McNamara last evening in addressing a gathering of some 500 persons in a veterans' day program at the USO clubhouse urged all world war veterans' organizations to get behind the present USO program.

nOKI'T MK: YOUR LAST CHANCE TOO SEE THIS WVn 1 ml VERY SMART MUSICAL COMEDY HIT yC- fully drawn by Gwendolyn Stiles who fattened her purse by feeding tie soldiers. Mary Jane Dur- fee, a peasant maid, escorted Lady Geraldine (Helen Post), detained by a carriage accident who brought quite welcome news of Jeanne d'Arc. And finally there appeared at the window the beauteous vision of the Maid of Orleans portrayed by June Abell. whose lovely voice brought words of comfort and healing and prayer for peace. It was very effective.

The comedy "Almost Seventeen" was very real and homey. A young lad had eschewed slang for six months to win a car, only to have it withheld on his birthday so that his rival might have a demonstration. Everett Havens gave convincing color to the young man. His parents were played with quiet and easy tempo by Raymond Prunier and Phyllis Edgerton. while Patricia Westover played with vivacity the brat of a kid sister who is really rooting for brother all the time.

All the young people showed hours of study and training and gave really good performances. Mrs. Norman Stokes is credited with much skill and patience in directing the plays and the combined casts presented her a gift. Robert Jamison was stage manager, Clifford Havens in charge of tickets, and Winford Parker publicity man. The proceeds are applied to the work of the Christian Endeavor.
