FRIDAY, JUNE 7, 1918. - m—— | NEWS FROM CORRESPONDENT) :****%#*;g**%**::iif*i*ii*fi*k**i * KKK KKK *i**%i**ii**g*«kiz‘ * K KKK _The J. G. W. club, an organiza- - tion composed of ten Wilton girls, gave a play entitled *“Miss Fearless and Co.,” on Saturday evening, June 1, at the M. W. A. hall at Wilton. The cast of characters was as fol- lows: Miss Margaret Henley, an heiress —Alvena Rogers. Katie O’Conners, her maid—Nel- lie Brennan. . Miss Euphemia, her cousin, a ner- vous old maid—Alice Ballangrud. Sarah Jane Lovejay of Lost Na- tion, a distant relation—Minnie Guisness. Margaret’s guests—Miss Beatrice Cameron a beauty, Signora Bangen; Miss Marion Reynolds, who is al- ways up to mischief, Alice Rognlien. The “Silent Sisters,” supposed to be “Jack” Eggleston and “Jim” . Reading—Miss Alias, Alice Guyer; \"Miss Alibi, Leola Rogers. “Just Lizzie,” a ragged child who plays ghost—Christene Rognlien. . Miss Henley and her guests deter- \ mine to punish their “young men” " Dby going away to camp by them- selves. They form a company called “Misg Fearless & Co.,” and each member must forfeit $10 if, during the month, she communicates direct- ly or indirectly, with any person of the male gender. They go to Spook Island, which is opposite Camp Com- fort, where their “lords of creation” “disport themselves. Many exciting events occur dur- ing their sojourn on Spook Island, among them being the advent of the ghost and her subsequent discovery, the elopement of the old maid and the many visits of the “Silent Sis- ters.” Evidently everyone discover- ed the identity of the sisters, except the girls concerned. Needless to say that all members had to pay the forfeit and all ends happily. Miss Eupremia, the old maid, was a “scream,” while the witty remarks of Katie, the Irish maid, and the plain, outspoken manner of Sarah Jane Lovejoy drew many a hearty laugh. 1 Miss Margaret Henley’s composed and courteous manner contrasted with that of her mischievous guests, Miss Marion Reynolds and Miss Bet- tie Cameron. ‘Just Lizzie,” the poor little ghost, brought both tears and laughter, All the ¢haracters played their parts exceptionally well. Mrs. Arthur P. Volkman directed the play, while Mrs. Jule Achenbach helped with the ‘“make up.” The proceeds of the play were donated to the Red Cross Mr. and Mrs. Arthur P. Volkman, who have taught the Wilton school for the past three years, have re- signed their positions. They expect to return to their former home at Davenport, Iowa, where they will take up their old positions again. They will return to their farm near Bemidji at the close of the school year.
