audience yesterday Afternoon when
the pupils OF the Senior class present
ed Sheridan's famous comedy. 1.-THE
Rivals"
The ambitious young actors were
evidently inspired with the thought
that they were essaying to do that
which few professionals have at
tempted and for the most part the
play was creditably done. There are
no stage accessories at the High
School and the play was presented
In true Shakespearean simplicity true
to the time ante.dating Sheridan
when actors relied not upon beautiful
artificial scenery and staging but for
their great art to attract, and hold
their audiences.

English branches in the High School

music, and Mr. Robey instructor Of
