1t was said by many who saw this
play that it was the best school play
they had ever witnessed. 1t was well
adapted for school girls and boys and
the way they entered into the spirit of
it was good to see. The parts of
Charley Walker and Dick Carson,
played by John Creighton and Ben
Kimber, were about of equal import
ance and honors stand evenly divided
between them as to their rendition Not
often do high schools boys acquit them
selves as creditaby. Gwen Hardy, who
kept Beef Campbell and Jack Ludlow
in constant battle for her favors. Gre
ated much amusement by her excellent
rendition of the part of a tickle little
flirt." The boys were good victims and
did much to enliven the play. Ruth
Belts as Helen Beckwth and Bernice
Smith as Alice Fairfield did their parts
beautifully, as many of those who
saw the play put it, Allen Creighton,
as the trainer. was there with the
goods. Gee, But the list is too long
they were all good and it was an al !
most unexpected treat to witness a play |
so full Of life. fun and frolic, song and |
yells. and love making and heart |
breaking-and all the rest that goes to |
make up college life.

Mr.. Michael. head of the commercial /
department Of the Phoenix high school |
The contest was largely under the di- |
rection of Waldo B. Christy. of the |
