SHELLMAN P-T. A. SCORES AGAIN WITH AMATEUR SHOW
"Jayville Junction" Hilarious Comedy At School House Friday Night.
Another goodly sum of money, to be used for the purpose of installing seats in the Shellman school auditorium, was made by the Parent-Teacher Association of Shellman, sponsors of the entertainment, Friday night by the presentation of "Jayville Junction," a hilarious comedy enacted in a small town depot.
The different classes of people who boarded the train and the laugh-provoking antics of some of the more rural settlers, to say nothing of the clever costumes, made the show most entertaining. It was presented under the direction of Miss Emmie Harris, who is pleasantly remembered in Dawson as the coach of "The Flapper Grandmother." She is spending her vacation with relatives in Shellman.
