cided upon. Officers who. were chosen
to fulfill the various duties are as
follows: President, Louise Andrews;
Vice-president, Lota Palmer; secre-
ary-treasurer, Mildred Freeman; and

Grandma’’ is a Bugbee play, and one
that will make you laugh and choke
up a bit.
Murdell Williams will play the
part of Grandma, and you will laugh
at her and with her in the first two

at sophistication, but you’ll love her
in the third act when she proves to
be the dear, silver-haired Grandma
of dreams.
Billie Williams is Gretchen, a splen-
did young woman of the day with an
adoring husband, Hugh McPhail.
Lucy, Georgia Lynn Phillips, is an
adorable heroine who is very much
in love with Jack Worley, Stanley
