The senior class Of the high school has
been obliged to change the date OF its
presentation Of "Hiawatha" from May s.
~ announced, to Friday, April Is. This
necessitates longer and more frequent
rehearsals. These are going on every
afternoon, an instructor having arrived
in town last Monday. The play, which is
founded on Longfellow's poem, is in four
acts. The first act embraces scenes
in the early life Of Hiawaths to his
early manhood, when he seeks bride in
the land OF the Dacotahs. In the second
act the young Indian brave wooes Min
nehaha. In the third act comes the we'd
ding feast, with its merry making, war
dances, Indian songs, etc. The climax is
reached in the fourth act, when hard
winter forces Hiawatha to bid farewell to
Minnehaha. The colored electric light
effects give the play an air of charm and
mysoery. Great interest Is being shown in
this production, which promises to be q
great success.
