The drama ellis Lordship" was presented
by the Senior class of the Belfast High

was beneficial one for the class, for the
hall was crowded, many of the audience
standing outside in adjoining rooms and in
the corridor. The play was finely presented,
allthe parts being well taken. The cast was
as announced in The journal last week.
