### GEARCITY SCHOOL NEWS

A play was presented by Miss Brown in the auditorium at assembly yesterday. The play entitled 'A Rough Day' is about a teacher, Miss Anybody, who has a very bad class, and she just can't control them. A boy named Very Dickens, who was full of mischief, made it all worse. A helpful child, Amy Goodkind, helped the teacher from losing her temper. The play received a hearty applause from the audience, mostly consisting of parents forced to be there. The cast will hold a second showing tomorrow evening.
