presented by the High School

ed success, both as play and
financially. All of the parts
were we'll taken and we'll acted.
The students have deem prac.
ticing faithfully for some time
and their acting last night
showed that they had been in
the hands of a good instructor
and had profited by advice
given. No one had "stage

plays, but every thing went off
as though each one was a sea-
soned actor. The athletic
union will be enriched consid-
erably from the proceeds.
