Lake Students
Hold Fire Drills
On accordance with the school code
of the State of Pennsylvania that all
schools should hold fire drills period-
‘| ically, Laketon has staged two of these
drills this school term,
All teachers and students have been
notified as’ to what the fire signal
designates.
The students have been instructed
in the manner in which they are to
leave the building and to return to it.
When the signal is given the stu-
dents from each room march out “in
orderly fashion, according to the m-
structions given them.
With only two of these practice
“drills our students show such alacrity
that our. building is vacated in less

Although we hope that no such
misfortune befalls us, we are build-

ROWING BUT NOT DRIFTING
MILDRED KOCHER, LAKETON HIGH SCHOOL
We all are vagabonds of fate, tossing about on this restless sea of life.
Our desire to go on and reach the opposite shore with the thought in our
hearts that we have accomplished something and have made the voyage of
another lighter. Don’t let the angry waves toss you to one side; row, but do
not drift. To accomplish our lifes work and do it well we must keep row-
ing and rowing onward, never stopping to drift and enjoy the scenes and
beauties of life.
Our comforts and joys will come to us at some time, but
that time will be only when we have resisted all temptations and, have safely
crossed the channel of youth. Do for your fellowmen and women, while you
are still in your youth, accomplish what work you are able to do, so that
‘when you are ready to drift for awhile you may do so without having to think
of some deed left undone to mar the pleasure of your journey.
That gapping channel of youth we must cross is our school days, and not
until you have graduated have you passed it safely and with [a feeling of con-
tent in your heart.

Many do not realize the value of a school life.
should never stop realizing that, while in school they are enjoying their
happiest days, and in no other part of their lives will they find so many joys
and carefree days as while in school.
When one is in his or her senior year they look back upon their school
days with a smile and wish that instead of passing from school forever they
were just entering the first grade-
It 1s a very vague feeling. I am a senior
and I am now fighting off the feeling of depression which comes to me when
I think that soon I will be leaving the school of my childhood and I know
that every other member of the class is also combating with the very same
feeling.
As a class the seniors urge each student and pupil of our school and of
other schools to go on through schoql and reach the class of seniors, the name
which. should be cherished for years after, but while you are trying to reach
that goal, do not stop to meditate on the hard work and long ydars before you,
keep rowing, for it is worth fifty years just to stand on the top and smile
back on your grade schooling and to have the feeling that you have done well.
Keep rowing, but do not drift.
It has been the motto of the present senior
class and you can see that to us it has brought success and we hope that each
student of this school and’ of others will remember this motto and reach this
final step in school life.

All Three Plays Are Well Acted and
Actors Receive Much Commenda-

The Dramatic Club orf Dallas high
school gave the following three one-
act plays Friday, October 18, at 8
o'clock: “Getting Rid of Father,”
“Too Much of a Good Thing”
“Sing a Song of Seniors,” In the play,
“Getting Rid of Father,” the charac-
ter, Obadiah Sweetwater, a good-
natured hay-seeder from Vermont, was
ably handled by William Brickel, Bessie
Ainsworth, played by Helen Czulegas,
who is the wife of Richard Ainsworth,
played by Earl VanCampen, have high
social aspirations until Common
Obadiah arrives on the scene. The
social aspirations of Bessie and Rich-
ard ware seriously threatened until
good-natured Obadiah comes to their
rescue. The mistakes of the butler,
played by Kenneth Kocher certainly
helped pep up the play.
In “Too Much of a Good Thing,”
Mrs. Perkins, a very precise step-
‘mother who does everything by the
the strictest rules of “the best society,”
is well played by Ruth Crawford. The
Perkinses are expecting a visit from
Tom Perkins, played by Kenneth
Disque, a country cousin, also from
Fred Schuyler, played by Russell De-
Remer, the intended husband of Jen-
nie Cowper, played by Alice Baer, an-
other cousin of the Perkins family.
Tom is a thorough backwoodsman, in
speech and action, but very shrewdd.
Mr. Perkins, played by John Mead,
sees him first and tells him he must
salute all his female relations with a
kiss. Tom tries to put his plan into
execution butrfails. Tom is mistaken
for Schuyler and he mistakes Schuyler
for a sneaking thief. Ludicrous results - 4
follow from both mistakes. Eunice
Bowles, played by Ruth Hull, is a bold -
female and horrifies Schuyler. Tom
horrifies Mrs, Perkins and amuses
everyone else with his country humor.
Others are: Lulu Baer, Mrytle Lamor-
eaux and Margaret Oliver.
“Sing a Song of Seniors” is a play
of Mrs. Cole's fashionable school for
young ladies. Mrs. Cole’s part is well
played by Evelyn Templin. It is the
first night of the school year at Mrs.
Cole’s Seminary and some of the girls
have planned a ‘lark in honor and
celebration of their reunion after their
summer vacation. A girlish looking
stranger Py thé name of Miss Rom-
ney, played by Bertha Wisnewskl,
whom the girls thought to be a fresh-
man,
pression that it is her own. Confused
at the mistake, she is about to with-
draw hurriedly when the girls’ forsee-
ing a lark, pounce upon her and at-
temtpt to impose a mild form of haz-
ing by forcing her to undergo a ‘mock
examination. Ridiculous questions are
propounded and just as the fun is at
its height Mrs. Cole enters, and, greet-
ing Miss Romney cordially, introduces
her as the new member of the faculty.
These three wonderful one-act plays
are only twenty-five cents. Come and
enjoy the laughs.
