LINCOLN WINS GAME
Sunday afternoon the Plattsmouth
Athletics faced one of the best teams
that has visited this city during the
football season, as the result the
visitors, the A. O. U. W. team of
Lincoln, emerged as victors by the
score of 6 to 0.
The attendance was very good de
spite the fact that the arctic winds
were sweeping ovtr the football
field and chilling both spectators and
the players and the fans had a real
treat in the excellent brand of foot
ball that was dished out by the lo
cals and their opponents.
The A. O. D. W. team fought
largely in the Plattsmouth territory
and several times were on the local
five yard line where the locals were
able to hold them, the local line
battling desperately to hold off the
scoring.
It was not until the final period
that the A. O. U. W. team were able
to cross over the Plattsmouth goal,
when with the wind to their back
they advanced with passes and line
smashes to the Plattsmouth three
yard line and from where the visi
tors were able to smash over for the
touchdown but the try for the extra
point failed.
In the Athletic lineup March, Ren
ner, Koubek and Herold were the
most outstanding and were able to
break up many of the plays of the
Lincoln former high school stars that
comprised the A. O. U. W. lineup.

The funeral services of the late
Wendel Horning were held on Sun

Junior Class
Presents Fine
Entertainment
"Seventeen'' Is the Offering of the
Class at the High School
Last Night
From Wednesday s Daily
A chapter out of life was revealed
by the cast from the Junior class of
Plattsmouth high school in the pre
sentation of Booth Tarkington's im
mortal four act comedy, "Seventeen,"
under the direction of Miss Mary
Jane Tidball, in the high school
auditorium last night. The play was
well adapted to the cast and each
part was ably executed. It was thr
type of play which meets with the
hearty approval of an audience be
cause it depicts the philosophy of
life at age "seventeen" and proved
to be a splendid vericle for the dra
matic talents of the class of 1932.
The charm of the play was greatly
enhanced by the new interior eyclor
ama which takes the place of the
former gray curtains. The recent
addition of this feature by the Board
of Education, gives the high school
a very complete stage as an exterior
curtain and the blue slide curtains
were added last year.
Ed Wehrbein made a fine hit with
the audience in his interpretation of
"Willie Baxter," a youth of "Seven
teen" with poetic visions of love and
romance. Edward's portrayal of the
youthful leading character as he met
one difficulty after another In pur
suit of the favor of "Miss Pratt" was
a fine piece of acting. To Janet Val
lery fell the difficult task of talking
"baby talk" during the entire per
formance as she nicely portrayed the
part of "Lola Pratt" whose attrac
tiveness keeps the boys of the story
vieing with each other for her favor.
Helen Virginia Price, as "Jane Bax
ter," the young sister, carried out
this part in remarkable fashion and
was in her part during the entire
play. She had a heavy part to play
and justly deserved high praise for
her work. James Nowacek as "Mr.
Baxter" and Robert Warren, as "Mr.
Parcher," both played the part of
older men in the play as the fathers
of "Jane" and "Willie Baxter" and
"May Parcher." Both boys carried
their parts well and made fine ap
pearance on the stage. Helen Warga
did fine in the part of "Mrs. Baxter,"
a character part which demanded
some fine acting in showing the at
titude of the Mother toward her am
bitious young son. Madge Garnett
had fine stage presence as "May
Parcher" and added new praise to
her dramatic talents. The other
parts of the play were not so long
in lines but nevertheless essential to
the presentation. With Louis Kno
flicek as "Johnny Watson." Aulton
Rolland as "Joe Bullitt." Harold
Seay as "George Crooper." Anna
Knieke as "Ethel Boke," Ralph
Timm as "Wallie Banks." and Cath
erine Terryberry as "Mary Brooks,"
the cast was nicely ballanced and
each one contributed materially to
the success of the play. Ed Egenber
ger had a difficult task in playing
the part of "Genesis," the colored
servant but he mastered the negro
dialect in a pleasing way.
The reputation of Miss Mary Jane
Tidball as a director of fine plays
was greatly added to by the success
of "Seventeen." The class expressed
their appreciation of her work by
presenting to her a beautiful bou
quet of flowers. Madge Garnett, class
president, made the presentation.
Miss Tressa Haley, one of the spon
sors of the class, assisted Miss Tid
ball throughout the work on the
play and the class greatly appreciates
her efforts in their behalf. Mr. Jor
dan, also a sponsor of the class, di
rected the orchestra which furnish
ed the music for the evening and as
sisted in getting the stage ready for
the production.
The specialties between acts were
very good and thoroughly enjoyed by
the audience. Clarence Troy was
heard in a banjo solo, "The World
Is Waiting For the sunrise," and was
called back for an encore. He was
accompanied by Mr. Woodbury. Helen
Schultz and Eleanor Swatek gave two
beautiful duet numbers in appro
priate costume, "Blue Seventeen"
and "When You and I Were Seven
teen." Charles Nowacek was accom
panist. Agnes Brink was heard in
two musical readings to complete the
special numbers, "Sashes" and "Gos
sip" accompanied at the piano by
Mary Lois Wiles.
The music for the evening was
furnished by "The Junior Syncopa
tion Orchestra" composed of Mar
garet Nelson, Gwendolyn Hansen,
Clarence Troy, William Henrichsen,
Cecil Comstock, James Comstock,
Otto Stodola and Kenneth Armstrong.
James Comstock also played a fine
cornet solo with his brother Cecil
as accompanist. The furniture for
the occasion was loaned by the Ghrist
Furniture store.
For a large production of this kind,
a number of committees are always
necessary to do the work of prepar
ing the stage and advertising. To
these people the class is indebted for
their untiring efforts in making the
Play the success it was: Business
Manager, Alvadore Tilson: Stage
Committee. Raymond Helgl. Mott
Frady. Clarence Forbes, Norman
White and Henry Donat; Advertis
ing. Helen Schultz: Posters, Eleanor
Olson and Agnes Brink; Property,
Eleanor Swatek, Irene Simons, Thel
ma Pittman and Eleanor Olson.
While the evening was very cold,
a large and appreciative audience
saw the play and showed by their
presence and applause that they
heartily enjoyed the play and all
the special numbers.

Santa Soon to
Make Visit to
Plattsmouth
Preparations Being Made to Receive
This Patron of Childhood
in Royal Style
Vixen, Santa Clcus' mischievous
reindeer, came rushing in just as
Santa Claus had given up hopes of
being able to complete arrangements
to accept the children's invitation,
to come to Plattsmouth. Vixen was
panting but Santa thinks she is just
laughing, although, she tries to make
him think she has been hurrying.
Santa is so happy however, to have
her back that he can hardly even
scold her.
Now that Vixen is back Santa has
asked all toyland to gather at Toy
land chapel tomorrow. There serv
ices will be held. Final instructions
will be given to the Brownies and to
the Elves about completing the toys
Santa is to deliver on Christmas Eve.
jAll Santa's friends will gather to
wish him well and to send greetings
to the good children at Plattsmouth.
Toyland is very much excited. But
even greater excitement prevails
among Santa's northland friends.
For the first time children are to
leave the northland and visit the
children of the world.
Santa Claus asks all the children
of the world to think of him tomor
row and to join with him when he
asks for guidance on the very dan
gerous journey he must make if he
is to come from his home to the
homes of the good children down
in the U. S.
In just a day or two now Santa
will be on his way with all his rein
deer. Tell all your friends about
Santa Claus and his coming to Platts
mouth with the reindeer. The day
has not been definitely settled when
he will arrive, but watch the paper
and we will announce the day just
as soon as we can get definite word
from Santa about it.
