Scenes From Julius Caesar Presented
BY Birmingham High School.

The scenes taken from Julius Gaze
sar," which were presented at the High
school last night, were very entertain
ing and were greatly enjoyed by the
large audience. Clarence Going distin-
guished himself in the role of Brutus.
He appeared in all four scenes, which
for his part are the most difficult In
the play, the forum orations, the meet
ing of the conspirators in Brutus' gar
den, the quarrel between Brutus and
Cassius, and the battle in which Brutus
runs on his sword. In all of them he
displayed remarkable talent and ability.
Herbert Cobbs as Cassius, and James
Montgomery as Antony also played their
parts well.
Tonight the senior class will be given
their reception at the armory hall. To-
morrow night at the Bijou theatre the
Euterpean club will give its annual con-
cert. and Thursday night at the same
theatre the diplomas will be presented TO
