TEMPE HIGH ACTORS
 SCORE COMP PLETE SUCCESS
Presentation of The Mercf7 1t of Ven ce, Up 10 Date,' By
 Athletic Assoc iation.

A large audience, excellent acting throughout and one of the best plays for amateurs ever staged here, col lectively contributed to the success attained by the Athletic association of the Tempe Union high school when they presented The Merchant of Venice, Up To Date," at the Good win Bros. opera house in Tempe Friday evening.

 Credit for the supervision over the production is due Miss Dorothy White and Miss Anna J. Gibney. To- gether for weeks before the practice until the curtain fell on the last act Friday evening they have worked up Ia superb cast from the inexperienced high school students And in every sense of the word they have succeed ed. Tempe people will long look for ward to the time when Tempe nigh
