KINGS ‘AND A QUEEN)
IN THE “NEW DEAL”
(Editorial)
As Will Rogers, unofficial critic
of Kings, Presidents and the world
in general, remarked: ‘‘That list of
new Cabinet members sent everybody scurrying through Who’s Who,
the World Almanac, and the United
States Finger Print Department trying to find out who they were.” For
while the new Cabinet contains
men well known in their various
professions and activities and more
than qualified for their important
tasks, the names of many men prominent.in the Democratic party were
noticiably missing. However, the
“Kings’’ in the ‘‘New Deal’ are a
capable and versatile group of men.
It is rather a noteworthy fact that
William H. Woodin, appointed as
Secretary of the Treasury, has dur-.
dng his life time acquired a many
sided nature. Although the son of
wealthy parents, he fought his own
way to success in business, being the
music, Mr. Woodin has composed not
only such song hits as ‘“‘Gypsy Love
Song”’ and “The Rose of Seville,”’
but five symphonies“tnd a children’s
book of songs! In addition, he collects coins, plays the guitar, and
like Hoover and Roosevelt, likes to
fish. A versatile fellow, no doubt.
Frances Perkins, the ‘‘Queen”’ of
the ‘‘New Deal,’”’ after making ‘a life
‘study of labor and social conditions
is well equipped for the position of
Secretary of Labor. Her appointment to this position will make history, since she is the first woman
to be a member of the Presidents
Cabinet.
THE BIG CHEESE
On the evening of April 4, the
“student body of the N. C. H. S. held
their annual play, a snappy comedy
entitled—“‘The Big Cheese.” The
theme of the play centers around
Wahie Larkin, a mere bookkeeper
in the Brewster Cheese Company,
who, having lied to a girl from his’
home town, finds it necessary to
pose as the president of the Brewster Cheese Company. This deception is carried on when the girl arrives in town, in the office of the
real president’s son, Bob Brewster.
Many complications follow. The deception is cleverly ‘carried out but
in the end Doris Bancroft and her
friend Verna Callaway find out that
Wallie has been lying. Wallie's office force consists of a fake stenographer, who in reality is the daughter of the cheese king Samuel Brewster; Ted Spratt, a. messenger; Bob
Brewster, a bookkeeper, and Mabel
Hogan the switch board operator
yelept ‘“‘The Voice With the Smile,”
However, all’s well that ends well,
and so it was with “The Big
Cheese.’’
Bob Tamblyn injected considerable realism into the part of Ted
Spratt with his wads of gum, ‘“‘ice
cream sodys,’’ loud ties, and tooaffectionately-fitting trousers.
“Chich’’ Barker put himself into

Ruth Parker’s part as Verna Call@way was too insignificant for the

Warren Chapman’s dramatic ability displayed itself in his heavy portrayal of Samuel Brewster, ‘the choTeric president of the Brewster

BIOLOGY HIKE
Wednesday morning, April the 5th
the biology class of the Nevada City
high school, conducted by Mr. Kjorlie, went on an observation hike.
They left school at ten-forty-five and
returned at one o’clock. They started on the Gold Flat road, but turn-ed off on a trail through the trees
until they came to Day’s Pond.
Here they ate their lunch, after
which they returned to school.
The object of. the trip was to observe all living plants and animals;
so the students were keenly alive to
ever bird, ant, bee, butterfly, cocoon,
and frog that appeared above, on or
under their path. The trophies of
their chase are some frogs and frogeggs; but the memories of their
pleasure are more abundant.

A Visit To An Honored Relic
Of Our Honored Past
The Constitution, or Old Ironsides,
seemed a veritable lodestone during
April 1 and 2. A large delegation
of N. C. H. S. students climbed out
of their beds, (if they went to bed
that night) at one. Saturday morning in order to be on the Narrow
Gauge When it. pulled out of the
station for -Colfax.
It was a peppy crowd that boarded the big Special Southern Pacific
train at Colfax. But after a few
hours the crowd changed into-a sleepy one. We all agree that Ruth Parker holds the championship for sleeping. It was next to impossible to
keep her awake. As day began to
break, the crowd began to regain
their pep, so by the time we arrived
at our destination we were full of
vim, vigor and vitality.
The main business of Saturday
morning was going: to see Old Ironsides, which was most enjoyed by
those who had to wait an hour or
two to get aboard.
According to Gerald and others,
Lucca’s was the favorite eating place.
The Fox and other theatres seemed
to be well patronized as well as the
Beach, both Saturday and Sunday.
The home-going crowd was split
up into many different groups, as:
there were three or four different
trains on which we could return. The
two largest groups took trains that
left Sunday morning and at 9:00
Sunday night. The group which
came home Sunday morning arrived
at Nevada City about 3:00 that afternoon; but the group that stayed
until Sunday night arrived in ‘Colfax at 2:20 a. m. where they had
the choice of waiting for the Narrow
Gauge which would arrive in Nevada
City between 8:00 and 8:30 Monday,
or coming home in Sutton’s milk
truck. The latter was the common
choice, so we left Colfax at 3:15
and arrived home about 5:00 Monday
morning, in time for a wink of sleep
before school.
Much to the teachers surprise, all
but two or three turned up at school
that morning, half ay to be
sure, but there in body if not in
wits.

LIBRARY NOTES
Do you know that when you keep
a book out of the library over two
weeks that there is a five cent fine
for every day that it is overdue?
This also applies to reference books
which are kept out over one night.
This is not just another way of
making money; it is a way to prevent you from being inconsiderate of
others. Usually your reason for doing it are poor. You have more
than likely laid it aside on the shelf
and forgotten you ever had the book.
So in the near future, let’s be more
thoughtful. It will not only benefit others but it will benefit ourselves. Nickels have an individuality in these days of moratoriums.
Morence Cerro requests that all
over due books be brotght to her
so she can check them.
LISTEN, DUMB, DEAF AND BLIND
As long as the school year has
progessed there are still some students who do not know how to make
out a slip of ‘‘Loan Request’’ when
taking books or magazines out of

-CALL NUMBER ......:. aeiee 206
The call number is what generally puzzles the. students. If you are
taking a book out you find the call
number in the back of the book on
a slip pasted in the book. Look for
this yourself; don’t make the librarian look it up for you.
If, however, it is a magazine you
look on the cover for the date of
the issue and put that under the
call number on your ‘‘Loan Request.’’
In the past three or four months
we have had some new books added
to our Hbrary: Will James’ Books,
Parsens’ Stream of History, and a
‘fine set of World Books.

“would be expected to say “pleasant

apparently changed his mind.
He had just cpme from Hong.

read ‘“‘real’” books instead of text
books, and advised them always to

The fight was staged between Murch

Since the navy has been @round

we might sling ‘a few jokes about the

TAPS FOR BASKETBALL
The Nevada high school brought
to a close a successful basketball
season last Friday.
The Nevada high “A” division
took third place in the Sierra Foothill League. The “B” team, however, was not so successful; they
did not win one league game all
season. Nevertheless, they were
good losers, and under the guidance
of Coach ‘“Bev’’ Barron’ showed
great improvement before the sg
son was over.
This is the last basketball a great
many of these boys will play in Nevada City as every man on the “A”’
squad will be graduated with the
exception of Ralph Pierce.
As for the games between Nevada
City and Grass Valley, the results
were just the reverse of those in
dit was the first time
the N. C. “A” squad has beaten G.
V. in seven years Whereas our “B”
team had not been defeated for seven
years by Grass Valley.
Now that basketball season is
over, the spotlight turns on track
and baseball. It has been rumored
that Nevada City will have spring
football practice.
SENIOR PICTURES
; The Senior pictures taken by
Maurice of Grass Valley turned out
very good (considering the material
he had to work with), and the group
pietures were equally good. Maurice
has been very conscientious with the
work that he has done, aiming to

QUARTS IN MILK WAR
SACRAMENTO, April 9—(UP)—
“Grocery store mathematics’’ bid fair
to out-distance the jigsaw puzzle in
popularity. if Sacramento’s “milk
war’’ continues.
At most any corner grocery’ the
following conversation may be
heard:
Customer: ‘How much is a pint
today?’’ Grocer: ‘‘Six cents.”
Customer: “And how muchi is a
quart?’’ Grocer: ‘‘Two cents.”
Customer: ‘Oh, I---see; three
quarts equal one pint.”
The explanation lies in the claim
that, because of the small demand
for the pint-size bottle, it’s cheaper
to handle the larger containers durtributors.
Herman Budelman, superintendent
of the West End Mining property,
formerly the Borax Smith holdings,
was a Nevada City visitor last week
end, stopping over to visit Mr. and
Mrs. O. E. Schiffner. He was on his
way to Nevada.
Mr. Gegan, field man of the Hercules Powder Company, made this
section a visit coming up from the
