Safety First
Despite the fact that first a
drizzly rain, then a sleet and
lastly a timid fall of snow, play-
ed hide and seek throughout
Saturday, the City auditorium
was comfortably filled Saturday
night to witness the High School
in the pleasing comedy “Safety
First.” Wilbert Kaspar contin-
ues to add laurels to his es-
tablished reputation of always
“playing good.” Alfred Bohman
was a new star in High School
dramatics and his ease and
naturalness provoked favorable
comment. Saunders Richter sus-
tained the role of Me Nutt very
capably both in portrayal and
make up. Bennie Zimmerman
was well cast and gave evid nee
of much talent. Anton Baros as
the “Turk” kept folks moving
when he appeared with his ever
ready dagger and “blood in his
eye.” Willie Hazel Monroe and
Mae Rogge gave a true interpre
tation of the two sisters and
gave splendid support to the
entire cast from start to finish.
Mary Koncaba was striking in
costume and expression as Zulika.
Ella Stratman kept theaud ence
in a continual ripple of merri-
ment with her comedy role of
Mary Ann. One of the surprises
of the evening was the finished
interpretation given by Miss
Annie Stuter to the character
role of Mrs. Barrington-Bridger.
The play was under the ex
perienced direction of Mrs. Eula
Schultz, she being assisted by
Miss Lucile Schultz of the Ex-
pression department. Both have
occasion to be proud of the
success attained.
Not only has the High School
a most creditable dramatic de- j
partment but Mrs. Thulemeyer j
with commendable patience has
developed a High School orches-
tra, who made their first ap-
pearance Saturday night.
The personel of the orchestra
was Elizabeth Pfenninger and
Wilma Hillje, pianists; Ella
Stratman, Mae Rogge, Evelyn
Dreyer, Margaret Liebhafsky,
violins; Glade Welhausen, Maxie
Wolters, and Herbert Nollkam-
per, Saxaphones; Olin Mittanck
and Percy Garbade, clarinets;
Irene Henkhaus, banjo and Jerry
Turek, drum. Special numbers
between acts was a c’ari et solo
by Olin Mittanck and a saxa-
phone duet by Maxie Wolters

Fire Departmpnt Answers
Two Calls
Saturday morning the fire
boys answered a call from the
Convent. Luckily it proved to be
a short in the electric light line
in the 1 rge two story brick
building of St Ludmila’s High
and no damage was done.
Tuesday morning at 3 o’clock
the siren again summoned the ]
volunteer fireman from their
slumbers and the second fire
was in the adjoining block of
the Convent property. Fortunate-
ly this was of no material dam-
age. A smoke house, that was
used only as a storage room, at
the Yurek home was destroyed
This was entirely out of the
imits of the fire plug or hy-
■ Iran's but the boys protected
and saved the home Mrs. Yurek
hought the fire due to mice and
n tches.
Mrs. Leon Maeker has suffic-
iently recovered as to be re-
moved from the local hospital to
the home of her parents, Mr. and
Mrs- A. J. Berckenhoff.

School Plans Maturing
i After all the New Year was a
good one tor us all. At present
it is significant for what it has
started for the new year. Fdu-
cationally, we are about to
realize the biggest gift that can
come to a community—the erec-
tion of a much needed, modern
school building that will serve
for all time. The plans of the
Board of Education for the
future are ambitious.
The architect was in Shiner to
meet the School board last Fri-
day night. Some changes have
been made in the original p ans
and as soon as these changes are
made, definite announcement
will be made as to erection.
Pay Your Taxes
Jan 31st is the limit on
paying City and School
taxes. After that date a
penalty of ten per cent
will be added, so come up

days left. This is election
year.
