Sherwood Players Open Summer Engagement at Park Theatre Most Auspiciously Awaiting the raising of the curtain at I In Wayne Nunn the Sherwood Players the Hershey Park Theatre on Monday has an artist of great ability. In his night where the Sherwood Players opened the Summer season with the comedy drama, "Under Cover" we said to ourself, "We sincerely hope that the Sherwood Players come up to expectations and will be a credit to Hershey." When the curtain' was lowered at the close of the final act we were happy in the fact that the Sherwood Players had come up to expectations and would be a credit to Hershey. Personally, we consider the Sherwood Players the best stock company that has ever appeared at the Hershey Park Thea-tre. Every member is an artist, and the lovers of the drama will have the pleasure of enjoying many a dramatic treat during the present season. The Sherwood Players is headed by Robert A. Bennett, a real New York star, who was featured in the Broadway success "The Cat and the Canary" during the past season. Mr. Bennett's every action and every word, denotes the artist that he really is. It is indeed a great pleasure to see and to hear Mr. Bennett. Miss Sher-wood is to be congratulated upon having Mr. Bennett heading her company, and the patrons of the Hershey Park Theatre are to be congratulated upon having him with us. Clarence LeRoy needs no introduction to Hershey, he having won his place in our hearts through his most creditable work last season. Mr. LeRoy makes an ideal hero—having a splendid stage presence, charming manners and a most pleasing voice—and it is little wonder that he creates such a flutter with the women's hearts. Mr. LeRoy has just finished a successful road engagement in "Strange Bed Fellows", which, we are glad to say, wul be seen at the Park Theatre in the near future. Mr. LeRoy did some mighty nice work in the third act on Monday night introductory on Monday night Mr. Ben-nett stated that Mr. Nunri would make us laugh and would make us weep. After seeing Mr. Nunn's splendid performance in "Under Cover" on Monday night we believe that he will do it—we hope, how-ever, that he won't be cast in too many sob parts. Mr. Nunn does not stoop to the burlesque level to put his characterizations across—he has a finished and effective style—which does the trick. We'll say he's good, or else we are mighty mistaken upon our first impressions. Ralph Crabtree, who, between seasons, in conjunction with Wesley Barney, con-ducts the Delmonico on Deny Road, and is becoming an honest-to-goodness Her-sheyite, heard the call of the drama, and answered it. Despite his hermitage Mr. Crabtree lost none of his ability to make good. In fact, he is like home-brew in the cellar—gets better with age. He received an ovation on Monday night on his appearance, and he proceeded forth-with to show that he was deserving of it. The light comedian is Jack Kearney, who has the knack of bringing a laugh. Mr. Kearney did not have much to do in "Under Cover", in which to judge his humorous capabilities, but what little he did have, he made the best of. Mr. Kearney has many years of experience in his role as comedian, and we have every assurance that we will bring forth many a hearty laugh before the season is over. Mr. Kearney has had considerable exper-ience in musical comedy, and can sing a song with the best of them. Last, but not least, come the lady members of the company, which are Miss Katherine M. Bauer, Miss Maye Blaisdell, Miss Nina Howell and Miss Sherwood, all artists, yes, everyone. Miss Bauer is the eugenue. She is not only mighty good to look upon, but can wear gowns like a Gloria Swanson. Fur-thermore, she plays her role with admirable ease and facility. She has a pleasing voice*, which carries well. We predict that the Hershey Park Theatre audiences will like Miss Bauer's work immensely. In Miss Blaisdell we have another gifted member of the Company. She is of the petite type, but forceful , and What her words and actions don't express* her eyes do. We are sure we will see some splendid characterizations enacted by Miss Blais-dell during the coming season. Miss Nina Howell works with Mr. Nunn, and an incomparable combination they make. Miss Howell seems to over-flow with exuberancy, and when she makes her appearance things take on a kindly aspect. We know you will be for Miss Howell. As for Miss Sherwood we are all ac-quainted with her ability and capability she having played here for a short engage-ment several years ago. Miss Sherwood is managing the Sherwood Players, and she is throwing her heart and soul into every production. She is going to present for our approval well known successes as "Best People", "A Girl from Childs", "Why Men Leave Home", "Strange Bed Fellows", "The Alarm Clock" and "So This is London." Her every endeavor is to make the Sherwood Players a real civic institution, her slogan being "For the people, by the people." The scenic effects are-capably supervised by Mario Badillo, from one of the foremost studios of New York City. If you want to spend an enjoyable and profitable evening, attend the Hershey Park Theatre. The prices are within the reach of everyone—the same as last year— 20 cents, 30 cents and 50 cents for reserved seats. Tickets ordered in advance will be held until 7.30, night of the performance.

This is the last time the members of the class of 1925 will have an opportunity to appear behind the foot-lights during their High School career. "Mr. Bobb" is a clever comedy, in two acts, full of clever situations which will be presented by clever members of the class.

Same as Act 1; time, afternoon. Robert Brown, a clerk of Benson & Ben-son, is sent on a secret mission to a country house. Before his arrival , another Mr. Brown shows up and becomes the victim of double mistaken identity, for he is taken not only for the clerk , but also "Mr. Bobb." The latter is thought to be a sweetheart of Katherine -Rogers, but in reality is her best girl chum. Before Clerk Brown can establish his identity, he is whirled alxiut in some funn y situa-tions. Lawrence Edwards plays the com-edy lead and you all know Lawrence can be funn y. When we say "Mr. Bobb" is a funny play, you don 't know the half of it.

John Seitzinger Wins $100 Aslrologlcally, John Seitzinger , the affabl e and efficient credit manager of (lie Hershey Chocolate Co., was born under a ucky star. To prove it , he ventured out of Hunimclstown on Saturday evening and wended bin way Id Palmyra , and not long after found himself aniongHt n huge' throng at the Communit y Fair held at that place, and was butty ttpeiuliug his money on speculative ixisHlbilities. One of these brought htm forth much profit—in (act , lie was rewarded much, yea, it hundred score in fact , he had won the luck y number. Mr. Seitzinger did not know this at the time, and was much perturbed on Sunday morning in counting tils loose change , that there was so little left. However, on Monday morning, when James Dninncr , another affable and efficient manager, of the bill and charge department, Hauntered over t o hia desk with a mast generous smile ilpon his always, genlul countenance, and a twinkle hi his eye, Mr, Seitzinger know that some-thing was doing, mid there was, When Mr, Drunnor handed n $100 hill to Mr. Sclldnger, just out of the U.

Hershe y Sophomores Entertain Seniors Frida y Night On Friday night the classes of 25 and '27 assembled at the Hershey School and the Sophomores entertained their class-cousin, the seniors. The rooms were gaily decorated in the school colors and numer-ous sayings were hung on the walls. The earlier part of the evening was spent in playing games, singing and with the presence of the Neopolitan Quartet, danc-ing could not be withheld from. The folks lingered long over the tables which formed a huge "H". They were heavily laden which even tempted the track men who were in training. Here they were well entertained , a class prophe-sy composed and read by Lois Gilman led some of the scholars to misfortunes, some tragic endings and others very happy ones. Pictures of the seniors, mounted on comical forms were presented to their owners. Victor DeAngelis played several selections on his accordian , followed by speeches called for by Roy Dundore, president of the Sophomore class, through which means the Seniors thanked their class-cousins' for the "set-up." The festivit y came to a close all too soon although the seniors shall long remember the gathering which closed their High School term. The chaperones were : Miss Gregg Darrow, Miss Van Metre and Mr. and Mrs. J. R. MacDonald. Boy Scout Troop Organized at Lutheran Church Realizin g the importance of the Boy Scout movements as an organization which stands out prominently in this country as a basis for citizenship training and charac-ter building, also that the Boy Scouts of America recognizes the church as one of the most important agencies for work with boys, a trcxip of Boy Scouts is being or-ganized under the direction of Holy Trinit y Luthera n Church. The prelimi-nary work and instruction of the hoys leading up to the making of applica t ion for charter to the National Council is now under way and last Monday evening 10 enthusiastic boys assembled in the church for registration. When these boys ac-quire the tenderfoot rank of a scout the charter will be presented and the boys will be invested with the insignia of the Scouts. This troop is being formed with the desire to co-operate with other troops that have alread y been organized In the town , hoping that the Scout movement may touch all the boys of the community.

YOUNG MEN'S BIBLE CLASS MEET FRIDAY Th« memlxj ra of the Young Men's Bible Clan of the Holy Trinity Lutheran Church will meet on Friday evening, May 20th, at 8 o'clock in the basement of the church for their regular monthly meeting. The Smok estack ii Nocturne Oars are dipping in the lake, I have you Floating on the water: Just we two. Waterlily sweetly Nods its drooping head, Country all about us Long has gone to bed. Let them have their million*, I have you Floating on the water: Just we two. Isn't it the greatest Fun to bill and coo, I'm entirely satisfied With just you. Now the eastern sunbeams Sport and softly play. Now the life about us Welcomes in the day, Morning tokens dawning Of another life. Will you kiss me, kutie? I'll not tell my wife. Strickland Gillilan, the humorist, says that in the days of his early manhood he had such a big red mustache that, of a morning when he was late, he could pour a cup of coffee in it and drink the coffee on the way to the train. He didn t ask her For her hand. He had the dust, But not the sand. It will soon be June, and then people will begin explaining why the groom is never the best man at his wedding. The Man with the Wooden Leg says that when he was a little tike, the mam occupa-tion of little boys was playing horse. But nowadays, he says, all the kids are busy changing tires on their automobiles. Well, we got two good laughs out of the mess occasioned by the oiling of the streets, anyway. We were darned careful , though, to laugh discreetly. We didn 't let either of the fellows at whom we were laughing catch us at it. There was one fellow, we are not men-tioning any names, who failed to carry a spare tire. He was parked in front of our palatial residence, doing his best to sepa-rate a rear tire from the rim. Well when he got through tinkering that tire he was covered with oil from top to toe. Oh yes. Then there was the fellow who bought his straw hat plenty big. This fellow hates a tight straw hat. He says it makes him feel big headed. We wish you could have seen this man laugh when a gust of wind came along and rolled his hat in the oil. Honestly we thought the old boy would go into hysterics. Fable Once upon a time there was a little boy who liked nothing better than to go to school during the hot days of late May and early June. Overheard in the Hershey Quick Lunch. "And Jim says to me, he says. Bill Johnson drinks like a sponge. He just soaks it up. Why, he says, says he, when Bill dies all they'll need to do is pour him right back in the barrel." - Sunday's rain spoiled many a plan for a frolic in the open. As for Ours Truly, we kept discreetly, "Under Cover," during the immersion. The average person who heard some few months ago that the old Hershey Garage was to be made into an apartment house, had no idea how much this building would add to the beauty of the town. Now, as it nears completion, it seems to be the main topic of conversation. In spite of the wonders worked by time and change, says Doc Drake of Liberty Cross Roads, who has made a study of matters spiritual , there are some things that remain the same through the cen-turies. One of these is mere man's de-votion to a good drink . They say there is nothing new under the sun, and the following would seem to sup-port the saying. You have all been unfortunate enough at one time or another to have heard the Agong Male Quartet render And when I die Don t bur y me at all, Just pickle my bones In alcohol. With a bottle of booze At my head and feet My rest is sure To be complete. Here is what Omar Kyayy 'am, the Persian poet of eleven hundred something or other, wrote in defense of Al Smith's beer and light wine idea. Ah, with the grape my fading life provide, And wash my body whence the life has died , And in a Windin g sheet of Vine-leaf wrapt , So bur y me by some sweet Garden side. That e en my buried Ashes such a Snare Of ixirfume shall fling up Into the Air , As not a True Believer iwsslng by But shall be overtaken unaware. Last Summer Cy Todd of Skunk's Corners was laid up during haying with the rheumatiz'. So young Jim Todd and his sister, Augusta , had to do all the work. Says young Jim, "By the jin ks, I. certainl y did get disgusted with Augusty when we was hayin ' last summer. She was loadin ' the ha y and I was a-pitchin ' it on. And sir, just because I pitched a bumblelxie's nest up on the wagon, slit jumped right down lind ran for the house, a-bawlln' like all-glt-out. That certainly made me disgusted with Augusty." Calvin C<x)lidge tells a story alxiut a man who refused a dish of strawlx-rry ice cream because he was afraid the Ice cream would destroy his taste for prunes. That story makes this pleasure loving generation stop and think , doesn't it. But at the same time, had the gentleman l>cen offered , instead of strawberry Ice cream, Htrawlxirry shortcake with cream.we doubt like sixty if he would have passed It up. Now showing, "The Eternal Stru ggle" Ixitween the weeds and the vegetables. All this summer. Almoit Perauaded Such fatal accidents as the one which occurred in Hershey on Sunday almost ixitsunde us to forego our allegiance to Al Smith, and to take up the pen, which is mightier than the sword, In Bupjxj rt of Wayne B. Wheeler. One by one, in this automobile age, the open and avowed friends of John Barley-corn are deserting him, And It la a good thin g, too. It was all right tun years ago for the village cut-up to get soused and race his horses, Ho waa quite apt to (Continued on Page 4) Beautiful Hershe y Pa rk Affords Pleasu re Aplenty On Decoration Day Beautiful Hershey Park, the playground of Central Pennsylvania, will be in readi-ness for its annual opening on Decoration Day <» Saturday, May 30th.

Hershe y Baseball Team Wins Opening Game Hershey opened its home season on Saturday afternoon on the Park diamond by defeating the Reading Olivets by the score of 7 to 5. The Reading team proved themselves worthy opponents and got to Storm for a pair of singles in the opening frame. Gaul, the first man up, lined out a single to left but a minute later was caught napping off first by a quick throw by Storm. With two gone Trupp singled and after Carpenter received a free ticket to first Reading threatened to score but the best Kalbach could do was to fly out to center. Neither side scored until the third inning, when C. Gaul again opened up with a double to left center. Bryan struck out but Trupp singled, and in trying to score Gaul was nabbed at the plate. Carpenter walked. Kalbach drove a liner through the box which Storm managed to knock down but could not field and in the mixup that ensued both runners scored. Storm then passed Hodgkins and Deitrick bunted, but Alwine threw high over Smith's head and Kalbach scored. Hershey broke into the run column in the fourth when Shaub singled and scored on Albert's double. Although none were out Hershey was unable to score further and Markey died on second. Hershey took the lead in the sixth by scoring three runs on singles by Ream, and Heverling a double by Smith and an error by Kalbach. The Olivets knotted it up again in the seventh, but Hershey got to Adams in their half and scored three more runs on hits by Shaub and Allwine assisted by errors and good baserunning. Hershey scored again in the eighth and seemed to have the game sewed up but the Olivets came back and scored another in the ninth making the final score 7 to 5. The batting of C. Gaul, the visitors third baseman and the fielding of Ream for the home team were the fea tures.

KINPORTS TO PREACH BACCALAUREATE SERMON Rev. Paul M. Kln ports, pastor of the Lutheran Church, will preach the Bac-calaureate Sermon to the graduatin g class at a union meeting of all the churches, Sunday evening. May 31, at 7.30 o'clock, In the If erehey Central Theatre, "The Broken Butterfl y" at Park Theatre This Week The Sherwood Players will present "The Broken Butterfly" at the Hershey Park Theatre on Thursday, Friday and Satur-day evenings of this week, with matinee on Saturday afternoon at 2.30 o'clock. The story of "The Broken Butterfly " deals with Nora, the young and beautiful wife of Philip Hale, a wealthy horseman. Fascinated with dancing and society she is fast falling under the influence of his half-brother, Claude Hale, a handsome, bril-liant but unscrupulous artist and club-man, whose boast is his "conquest of the fair sex". Nora bitterly rebels when Philip forbids her dancing at a charity ball in a daring and bizarre Butterfly costume designed by Claude, and af ter he leaves for the stables to ascertain the condition of three of his blooded horses which have been mysteriously poisoned, she steals away and meeting Claude goes to the dance in the forbidden gown. Philip returning home and learning of her de-fiance decides to wait up for an under-standing. After a strong and telling inter-view Nora, completely subdued, retires just as Claude arrives expecting her to go away with him, and is conlronted by Philip armed with the knowledge of his treachery, his guilt of poisoning his horses to financially cripple him, and the fact that he has deserted a wife he secretly married who is now ill, penniless and alone in New York with an infant child. Claude facing exposure and possible arrest takes the easiest way out, and Nora, though having been foolish has really done no wrong is forgiven by Philip and reinstated in his home and heart. A "conditional engagement" between Nora 's young sister and a dashing New Yorker furnishes high class comedy of an unusual nature. "The Broken Butterfly " was written by Mabel S. Keightley, well known magazine writer and author of several successful plays. She will be with the Sherwood Players all season and will help with the production of many plays. The cast is as follows: Philip Hale, walthy Kentucky horseman Clarence LeRoy Claude Hale, his half-brother; an artist Ralph Crabtree John Ryland, his father-in-law Wayne Nunn Jack Stull, in love with Nellie Jack Kearney Victor , a servant Mario Badillo Mrs. Ryland, John Ryland's wife Nina Howell Nellie, her daughter Miss Sherwood Nora , the'wife of Philip Hale Katherine M.

The lar ge dancing pavilion has been very artistically decorated by Messrs. Fred Bolts and Frank Edris, and now resembles a ball room in Sinbad's palace more than a public dance floor. The color scheme is blue and yellow. Sus|)endcd from the canopied ceiling are huge lanterns. Around the hall , from pillar to pillar , are trellis of wisteria vines. These decora-tions make the dancing pavilion a very delightful place. Dancin g will be held every Wednesday and Saturday evenings, and the best of orchestras have heen secured for the season. Rev.

Commencement Exercises to be Held in Convention Hall The Annual Commencement will be held Thursday evening, June 4th, at 8 p. m. in the Convention Hall, located in the Hershey Park. This fact should receive special attention as the place to hold the Commencement had to be changed due to the fact that the auditorium for the new Junior-Senior High School is not nearly completed. Then, too, the Park Theatre is not available because the Sherwood Players have leased it for the summer beginning Monday, May 25th. These conditions then leave no alternative and the Commencement must be held in the Hershey Park Convention Hall. The following members of the class will appear on the program: Valedictorian, Alice Hall ; salutatorian, Ellen Leithiser; oration, Kenneth Stuckey; oration, Russel Stuckey. Dr. Leon C. Prince, of the Department of History frcm Dickinson College, will deliver the Ani.ual Address. The following is a list of the graduates: Russel Landis Aungst, Dorothy Evelyn Bohner, Edgar Lerch Brandt, Ralph Earl Cassel, Lawrence Miller Edwards, Lester Paul Foreman, Mildred Maria Frehn, Josephine Elizabeth Geiling, Carlton Herbert Grace, Alice Hall, George Hand-shue Hocker, Carl Edwin Hughes, Ellen Elizabeth Leithiser, Niles Clinton Long, Dorothy Muriel Longenecker, Laura Frances Sandy, Estella May Smith, Ken-neth Charles Stuckey, Russel Rodger Stuckey and Russel Edgar Tinney. Roy Dundore and James Bobb Head Prize Winners 1 he grand award of $5.00 in gold, given by a local man who is interested in wood-working at the Hershey High School, was given to Roy Dundore, a Sophomore, who made a round oak dining room extension table. Without a doubt , Roy deserves the prize for the finished project , considering construction , workmanship and finish all are well carried out and speak for them-selves. The first prize for Sophomores, $3.00 in woodworking tools, goes to James Bobb, who turned out a beautiful cedar chest, while the second prize in that class, $2.00 in tools was decided to go to .Roscoe Warner, who made a dressing table'and to Dick Sponaugle, who made a buffet. The work of these two boys was so close, con-sidering the jobs, construction, work finish , etc., that the Judges: R. W. Glace, Harry Etter and J. 1-rank Boush, decided that to try to select the better lob of the two would be impossible, so the second prize will be given to each; The first prize for Freshman A Class, $3.00 in tix)ls, was given to Glenn Keiffer , who made a very nice cedar chest, and the second prize, $2.00 in Ux)ls goes to William Masimer, who turned out a mahogany finished pedestal.

Sherwood Players Open
Summer Engagement at Park
Theatre Most Auspiciously
Awaiting the raising of the curtain at I In Wayne Nunn the Sherwood Players
the Hershey Park Theatre on Monday has an artist of great ability. In his
night where the Sherwood Players opened
the Summer season with the comedy
drama, "Under Cover" we said to ourself,
"We sincerely hope that the Sherwood
Players come up to expectations and will
be a credit to Hershey."
When the curtain' was lowered at the
close of the final act we were happy in the
fact that the Sherwood Players had come
up to expectations and would be a credit
to Hershey.
Personally, we consider the Sherwood
Players the best stock company that has
ever appeared at the Hershey Park Thea-tre.
Every member is an artist, and the
lovers of the drama will have the pleasure
of enjoying many a dramatic treat during
the present season.
The Sherwood Players is headed by
Robert A. Bennett, a real New York star,
who was featured in the Broadway success
"The Cat and the Canary" during the past
season. Mr. Bennett's every action and
every word, denotes the artist that he
really is. It is indeed a great pleasure to
see and to hear Mr. Bennett. Miss Sher-wood
is to be congratulated upon having
Mr. Bennett heading her company, and the
patrons of the Hershey Park Theatre are
to be congratulated upon having him with
us.
Clarence LeRoy needs no introduction
to Hershey, he having won his place in our
hearts through his most creditable work
last season. Mr. LeRoy makes an ideal
hero—having a splendid stage presence,
charming manners and a most pleasing
voice—and it is little wonder that he
creates such a flutter with the women's
hearts. Mr. LeRoy has just finished a
successful road engagement in "Strange
Bed Fellows", which, we are glad to say,
wul be seen at the Park Theatre in the
near future. Mr. LeRoy did some mighty
nice work in the third act on Monday
night
introductory on Monday night Mr. Ben-nett
stated that Mr. Nunri would make us
laugh and would make us weep. After
seeing Mr. Nunn's splendid performance
in "Under Cover" on Monday night we
believe that he will do it—we hope, how-ever,
that he won't be cast in too many sob
parts. Mr. Nunn does not stoop to the
burlesque level to put his characterizations
across—he has a finished and effective
style—which does the trick. We'll say
he's good, or else we are mighty mistaken
upon our first impressions.
Ralph Crabtree, who, between seasons,
in conjunction with Wesley Barney, con-ducts
the Delmonico on Deny Road, and
is becoming an honest-to-goodness Her-sheyite,
heard the call of the drama, and
answered it. Despite his hermitage Mr.
Crabtree lost none of his ability to make
good. In fact, he is like home-brew in
the cellar—gets better with age. He
received an ovation on Monday night on
his appearance, and he proceeded forth-with
to show that he was deserving of it.
The light comedian is Jack Kearney,
who has the knack of bringing a laugh.
Mr. Kearney did not have much to do in
"Under Cover", in which to judge his
humorous capabilities, but what little he
did have, he made the best of. Mr.
Kearney has many years of experience in
his role as comedian, and we have every
assurance that we will bring forth many a
hearty laugh before the season is over.
Mr. Kearney has had considerable exper-ience
in musical comedy, and can sing a
song with the best of them.
Last, but not least, come the lady
members of the company, which are Miss
Katherine M. Bauer, Miss Maye Blaisdell,
Miss Nina Howell and Miss Sherwood, all
artists, yes, everyone.
Miss Bauer is the eugenue. She is not
only mighty good to look upon, but can
wear gowns like a Gloria Swanson. Fur-thermore,
she plays her role with admirable
ease and facility. She has a pleasing
voice*, which carries well. We predict that
the Hershey Park Theatre audiences will
like Miss Bauer's work immensely.
In Miss Blaisdell we have another gifted
member of the Company. She is of the
petite type, but forceful , and What her
words and actions don't express* her eyes
do. We are sure we will see some splendid
characterizations enacted by Miss Blais-dell
during the coming season.
Miss Nina Howell works with Mr.
Nunn, and an incomparable combination
they make. Miss Howell seems to over-flow
with exuberancy, and when she makes
her appearance things take on a kindly
aspect. We know you will be for Miss
Howell.
As for Miss Sherwood we are all ac-quainted
with her ability and capability
she having played here for a short engage-ment
several years ago. Miss Sherwood is
managing the Sherwood Players, and she
is throwing her heart and soul into every
production. She is going to present for
our approval well known successes as
"Best People", "A Girl from Childs",
"Why Men Leave Home", "Strange Bed
Fellows", "The Alarm Clock" and "So
This is London." Her every endeavor is
to make the Sherwood Players a real civic
institution, her slogan being "For the
people, by the people."
The scenic effects are-capably supervised
by Mario Badillo, from one of the foremost
studios of New York City.
If you want to spend an enjoyable and
profitable evening, attend the Hershey
Park Theatre. The prices are within the
reach of everyone—the same as last year—
20 cents, 30 cents and 50 cents for reserved
seats. Tickets ordered in advance will be
held until 7.30, night of the performance.
We would suggest that you reserve your
favorite seat for the season. The doors are
open thirty minutes before each per-formance.
Curtain rises 7.45 o'clock
Lawrence Edwards
To Star
In lMr. Bobb"
Have you bought your tickets for "Mr.
Bobb?" Surely you will want to see the
Senior Class Play. This is the last time
the members of the class of 1925 will have
an opportunity to appear behind the foot-lights
during their High School career.
"Mr. Bobb" is a clever comedy, in two
acts, full of clever situations which will be
presented by clever members of the class.
Buy your tickets from the pupils or at the
door on the evening of the production,

Robert Brown, a clerk of Benson & Ben-son,
is sent on a secret mission to a country
house. Before his arrival , another Mr.
Brown shows up and becomes the victim of
double mistaken identity, for he is taken
not only for the clerk , but also "Mr.
Bobb." The latter is thought to be a
sweetheart of Katherine -Rogers, but in
reality is her best girl chum. Before
Clerk Brown can establish his identity,
he is whirled alxiut in some funn y situa-tions.
Lawrence Edwards plays the com-edy
lead and you all know Lawrence can
be funn y. When we say "Mr. Bobb" is a
funny play, you don 't know the half of it.

John Seitzinger
Wins $100
Aslrologlcally, John Seitzinger , the
affabl e and efficient credit manager of (lie
Hershey Chocolate Co., was born under a
ucky star. To prove it , he ventured out of
Hunimclstown on Saturday evening and
wended bin way Id Palmyra , and not long
after found himself aniongHt n huge' throng

Mr. Seitzinger did not know this at the

Hershe y Sophomores
Entertain Seniors
Frida y Night
On Friday night the classes of 25 and
'27 assembled at the Hershey School and
the Sophomores entertained their class-cousin,
the seniors. The rooms were gaily
decorated in the school colors and numer-ous
sayings were hung on the walls. The
earlier part of the evening was spent in
playing games, singing and with the
presence of the Neopolitan Quartet, danc-ing
could not be withheld from.
The folks lingered long over the tables
which formed a huge "H". They were
heavily laden which even tempted the
track men who were in training. Here
they were well entertained , a class prophe-sy
composed and read by Lois Gilman led
some of the scholars to misfortunes, some
tragic endings and others very happy ones.
Pictures of the seniors, mounted on comical
forms were presented to their owners.
Victor DeAngelis played several selections
on his accordian , followed by speeches
called for by Roy Dundore, president of
the Sophomore class, through which means
the Seniors thanked their class-cousins' for
the "set-up."
The festivit y came to a close all too soon
although the seniors shall long remember
the gathering which closed their High
School term.
The chaperones were : Miss Gregg
Darrow, Miss Van Metre and Mr. and Mrs.
J. R. MacDonald.
Boy Scout Troop
Organized at
Lutheran Church
Realizin g the importance of the Boy
Scout movements as an organization which
stands out prominently in this country as
a basis for citizenship training and charac-ter
building, also that the Boy Scouts of

the most important agencies for work with
boys, a trcxip of Boy Scouts is being or-ganized
under the direction of Holy
Trinit y Luthera n Church. The prelimi-nary
work and instruction of the hoys
leading up to the making of applica t ion for

under way and last Monday evening 10
enthusiastic boys assembled in the church
for registration. When these boys ac-quire
the tenderfoot rank of a scout the
charter will be presented and the boys will
be invested with the insignia of the Scouts.
This troop is being formed with the desire
to co-operate with other troops that have
alread y been organized In the town , hoping

The Smok estack ii
Nocturne
Oars are dipping in the lake,
I have you
Floating on the water:
Just we two.
Waterlily sweetly
Nods its drooping head,
Country all about us
Long has gone to bed.
Let them have their million*,
I have you
Floating on the water:
Just we two.
Isn't it the greatest
Fun to bill and coo,
I'm entirely satisfied
With just you.
Now the eastern sunbeams
Sport and softly play.
Now the life about us
Welcomes in the day,
Morning tokens dawning
Of another life.
Will you kiss me, kutie?
I'll not tell my wife.
Strickland Gillilan, the humorist, says
that in the days of his early manhood he
had such a big red mustache that, of a
morning when he was late, he could pour
a cup of coffee in it and drink the coffee on
the way to the train.
He didn t ask her
For her hand.
He had the dust,
But not the sand.
It will soon be June, and then people will
begin explaining why the groom is never
the best man at his wedding.
The Man with the Wooden Leg says that
when he was a little tike, the mam occupa-tion
of little boys was playing horse.
But nowadays, he says, all the kids are
busy changing tires on their automobiles.
Well, we got two good laughs out of the
mess occasioned by the oiling of the streets,
anyway. We were darned careful , though,
to laugh discreetly. We didn 't let either
of the fellows at whom we were laughing
catch us at it.
There was one fellow, we are not men-tioning
any names, who failed to carry a
spare tire. He was parked in front of our
palatial residence, doing his best to sepa-rate
a rear tire from the rim. Well when
he got through tinkering that tire he was
covered with oil from top to toe.
Oh yes. Then there was the fellow who
bought his straw hat plenty big. This
fellow hates a tight straw hat. He says it
makes him feel big headed. We wish you
could have seen this man laugh when a
gust of wind came along and rolled his hat
in the oil. Honestly we thought the old
boy would go into hysterics.
Fable
Once upon a time there was a little boy
who liked nothing better than to go to
school during the hot days of late May and
early June.
Overheard in the Hershey Quick Lunch.
"And Jim says to me, he says. Bill
Johnson drinks like a sponge. He just
soaks it up. Why, he says, says he, when
Bill dies all they'll need to do is pour him
right back in the barrel."
- Sunday's rain spoiled many a plan for a
frolic in the open.
As for Ours Truly, we kept discreetly,
"Under Cover," during the immersion.
The average person who heard some few
months ago that the old Hershey Garage
was to be made into an apartment house,
had no idea how much this building would
add to the beauty of the town.
Now, as it nears completion, it seems to
be the main topic of conversation.
In spite of the wonders worked by time
and change, says Doc Drake of Liberty
Cross Roads, who has made a study of
matters spiritual , there are some things
that remain the same through the cen-turies.
One of these is mere man's de-votion
to a good drink .
They say there is nothing new under the
sun, and the following would seem to sup-port
the saying.
You have all been unfortunate enough at
one time or another to have heard the
Agong Male Quartet render
And when I die
Don t bur y me at all,
Just pickle my bones
In alcohol.
With a bottle of booze
At my head and feet
My rest is sure
To be complete.
Here is what Omar Kyayy 'am, the
Persian poet of eleven hundred something
or other, wrote in defense of Al Smith's
beer and light wine idea.
Ah, with the grape my fading life provide,
And wash my body whence the life has
died ,
And in a Windin g sheet of Vine-leaf
wrapt ,
So bur y me by some sweet Garden side.
That e en my buried Ashes such a Snare
Of ixirfume shall fling up Into the Air ,
As not a True Believer iwsslng by
But shall be overtaken unaware.
Last Summer Cy Todd of Skunk's
Corners was laid up during haying with
the rheumatiz'. So young Jim Todd and
his sister, Augusta , had to do all the work.
Says young Jim, "By the jin ks, I.
certainl y did get disgusted with Augusty
when we was hayin ' last summer. She
was loadin ' the ha y and I was a-pitchin ' it
on. And sir, just because I pitched a
