Senior Glass Play Big Success.

senior GLASS flay Big success.
THE Sweet Girl Graduate" the play
given by the seniors of our high school
last Friday evening, was thoroughly en-
joyed by most appreciatlve audience.
Coming at this time Of the year, when
the "sweet girl graduates, say nothing
Of the dear boys, are to be found in
every city, town and hamlet in dear old
Michigan, second to none in it's educa-
tonal facilities, 1T was indeed most
appropriate. 1t is, however, of an un.
usual occurrence to be able to select so
many varied characters from the men,
bers of one class alone. Each one
seemed well adapted to the particular
part assigned to him or her. Beatrice
Bale, the "sweet girl graduate" was so
very natural and true to life that it
made many of the audience think back
to the day of their own graduation
Irene Lane as the mother was very good
indeed, hers being rather a difficult
part for young girl to play. Royal
Decker the father, was also good, his
makeup and the deep resonance OF his
voice would be hard to beat by pro-
fessional, even. Harry Wilcox as Jack
Hamilton was very easy and natural in
his part and seemed Just the one wanted.
All the other characters were equally
we'll played by the other mem oers of the
class. What we have mentioned of the
four principals, would apply to all.

HON. n. F. SIMPSON has rea-
sons to feel proud of the splendid
endorsements he has received
during the past two weeks. He
was the unanimous choice of the
county convention at Hartford
for chairman of the republican
county convention. The conven-
ton also passed strong resolu-
tions favoring his candidacy for
auditor general. Again, at Cass-
opolis, he was chairman Of the
district convention, and was en-.
dorsed for the Office to which
he aspires. He will, without
doubt, receive the solid support
of the entire fourth congressional
district Mr.. Simpsons ability
and worth to the party is recog-
nized, not only at home but
throughout the state. In the
opinion of The True Northerner
he will be nominated and elected
to the high and important Office
of auditor general of the state of
Michigan.
