Avalon High School Theater Department
presents 'Competition Piece'
FOR THE ISLANDER
This weekend Friday, Dec.
15 and Saturday, Dec. 16, at 7
p.m., and Sunday, Dec. 17, at a
2 p.m. matinee, is your chance
to support live local theater as
the Avalon Theater Department
presents "Competition Piece."
This fun "and quick comedy
takes a look at three different
high schools as they prepare for
the Annual Theater Festival.
The show takes you through
the script selection process, audi-
tions, the rehearsal process and
finally the performance.
What makes our production
so unique is that our student
actors play all the roles from all
three schools.
Each school is defined by .a
specific trait--the Prep School,
the Continuation School and the
Performing Arts School. Giving
our performers a wide range to
play. The performers never leave
the stage and move in and out of
character with a slight change in
costume, body posture or voice.
It is amazing to watch the skill
of our performers.
The show is quick, funny and
fast paced. The running time
is approximately 1 hr includ-
ing intermission. Easy to fit into
even the busiest of schedules.
Come out and support live
local theater. Tickets available
at the door $8 Adults & $5 for
student/seniors.
See you on the stage.

Some say that his system of
rainmaking has a valuation of
several millions of dollars to
Southern California, every time
there is a drouth.
That's what water means to
Southern California in general.
Last Thursday "Rainmaker
Hatfield" let the sun shine. It
shone so nice and clear that
William Wrigley, Jr., decided to see
if the pumps at the new dam at
Middle Ranch would do the work.
They did.
And it took more than 200,000
gallons of water to fill the pipe
from the Number Two Dam to
the top at the summit. That pump
pumped! Oh, boy! it had to, to lift
the water almost a thousand feet!
So Thursday was the RED
LETTER day in Catalina Island
history.
Water! Water! Water! all you
want to drink. Clear, sparkling
water for domestic purposes will
soon be in the city pipes, to be
used for lawns, flowers, washing
dishes, drinking, etc.
Less than six months ago there
was a peaceful little stream of
water rolling down Middle Ranch
canyon to the sea, on the west side.
It had gone its way way unmolest-
ed for many years. It was of little
service to Avalonites, excepting
that it watered a lot of trees and
wild flowers.
Most of the water was wasted.
But, now that water can be
pumped to Avalon for use by this
community. Accomplished, too, in
record breaking time!
Tons and tons building mate-
rial, engines, motors, pumps and
pipes have been installed.
General Manager D. M. Renton
of Santa Catalina Island Company,
who has had supervision of the big
project, has made many trips, day
and night, over the rough roads
and trails while the big dams have
been under construction and the
pipeline to the Summit was being
put under ground.
With Mr. Wrigley and Mr. Ren-
ton the writer watched the first
flow of water as it poured into
Falls Canyon.
Looking from the top of the
dam back of the electric light
plant in Falls Canyon, the writer,
watching the water coming down
was "struck" with the following
parody:
How does the water come down
from the Summit?
It leaps and it rolls; it tumbles
and plunges;
It roars and bubbles in joyous
glee.
It's water, pure water, just down
from the Summit;
Fresh water, good water, as
good as can be!
