Friday Evening Under Direction
of Miss Beatrice Laly.
focuses the attention of pupil, teacher
and patron upon the seniors OF our
public schools. Perhaps no one oc-
casion of the commencement program
tests the class spirit, awakens the
sympathy of the parent and the inter
est of the community as the class play.
The good Judgment of the class of 1911
is exempli1ied in their choice OF "A
Midsummer Nights Dream" drama
of Shakespeare's. The play is partic-
ularly adapted to the spring of the
year.
Express your hearty appreciation of
the class of 1911 by being present at
the opera house Tuesday night. See
if you are not tickled thoroughly by
the pranks of Puck and Oberon upon
the mortaIs; if you do not have to hold
your sides and laugh at the crude,
rough mechanicals preparing to enter
tain Duke Theseus, and if your emo
tons of sympathy, hatred and love are
not tried to the limit only to be dashed
away by the enchantment of Fairy
land. No doubt you agree that the
drama is a "Midsummer Nights
Dream" and that you will continue to
dream about the seniors of 1911.
Following the custom of former
years the members of the class will be
furnished with tickets for the
commencement exercises for the mem
bers of their families and immediate
friends. Reserved seat tickets can be
secured with these one day in ad-
vance of the general sale.
