announcement of their birthdays,
but soon she saw something out of
the ordinary was near, and all
three of the honorees were the
center of attraction.
Such a mingling of big folks and
little folks, you can’t imagine, and
just as much friendliness as al
ways throbs in the families of these
good folks, Messrs. Sam, J. A., and
E. C. Young, Mr. W. P. Long and
Mr. Sears, with the family in which
this feast, Mr. Samuel Long and

Washington High
School News
March 23.—The i>lay, “Always In
Trouble” was presented by the
high school last Friday evening be
fore a large audience in the school
auditorium . It was quite a suc
cess and each student, together
with the directors Misses Godbee,
Herron, and Jackson deserve much
praise for they all worked faith
fully to put it across. The stud
ents entered whole-heartedly into
it and each one played his part
well.
The cast of characters was as
follows:
Misery Moon, A Hoo-dooed Coon
—Pickens Wells.
Gideon Blair, A Millionaire—
Davis Bussey.
Tom Rissle, as Slick as a Whistle
—Ray Btityoy. *
Hiram Tutt, an awful nut—Jack
Wells.
Patrick Keller, a ticket seller—
Eubert Eckard.
Samantha Slade, a poor old maid
—^Elizabeth Prescott.
Rosebud Reese, Jiej. . $ywanh*g
niece—Anna Ruth Maddox.
Paula Maleek, a Bolshe^ek—
Blanche Wilkie.
Lulu Pearl, a ragtime girl—Mary
Frances Drennan. (
The play is very lively, full of
laugh-provoking situations but ab
solutely wholesome with fun in ev
ery respect. Gideon Blair, aged 93,
and a multi-millionaire, has deter
mined to marry his grandchild,
Rosebud, to son of his old friend.
If either of the young people re
fuse to marry the other, the one
refusing loses a million dollars.
Tom, who has never seen Rose
bud. mistakes an old maid for the
heiress and hires Tutt to imper
sonate himself, thinking that the
heiress will refuse to marry him.
Rosebud tries to persuade Tutt not
to marry her by feigning insanity,
but when she learns that Tutt is
merely masquerading as Tom she
nearly scares the life out of him.
The comedy scenes are furnish
ed by Misery Moon, a hoo-dooed
colored boy, always in’ trouble;
Lulu Pearl, whose every move and
speech is rag-time; Paula Maleek,
who is after Tutt with a dynamite
bomb; Samantha, the funny old
maid; and Patrick, the bewildered
ticket seller. Misery Moon is the
star part and his fights with a col
ored cook( who does not appear
in the play) afford much fun, as
do his frantic efforts to collect
nine dollars from the old multi
millionaire.
