honored by being chosen to take part
in 1.-THE Tanning of the Shrew' to be
presented by the Shakespearean
Society of the college. They are
Martha Meyer, Beth Lisherness and
Emily Cronin. The Shakespearean
Society. now made up of fifty mem
bers has annually for 10 years put
on one of Shakespeare's plays. To
be chosen from a membership of 80
for a principal part in the cast is
certainly a high honor and the fact
that three Lancaster girls were chosen
surely is indicative of their unusual
ability In this line. Miss Meyer
will play the part of Biondello; Miss
Lisherness, Gremio; and Miss Cronin,
Blanca. The rehearsals have been
under the direction of Walter Pyre,
of the University of Wisconsin.
The high school debaters go to
DodgevilIe Friday to meet the repre-
sentatives of that school IN joint
debate. The boys have been working
hard on their arguments for some
time aud the event bids fair to be
unusually interesting. The fact that
the Dodgeville boys are thoroughly
acquainted with the subject; for they
have debated on it twice before; gives
them a slight advantage over the Lam
caster opponents. The local dehaters
who will uphold the negative side of
the question Resolved, That the
south is justified in its attitude to
ward negro suffrage as shown by re-
cent legislation, are Will Duncalf,
Edmund Totman. Arthur Knapp and
Frank Stone, alternate. The Dodge
vile boys according to present ar
rangements have the rebuttal, which
is also in many ways advantageous to
them.
