CScHtS "dhc Up busy WCCN.
Great interest is centered around
the city schools at present. This week
will be a busy one among the students
and teachers throughout the entire
school. The following is a brief sum
mary of the events to take place before
the closing Of the term:
Thursday, the fifteenth, the track
team, accompanied by Mr.. Patty, leave
for the state meet at Vermillion, which
takes place on the sixteenth. At the
same time Leila Linn and Hubert
Mathews, under the care of Miss Boy,
son, leave for Vermillion to compete
in the state o%ratorical and declamatory
contest, held Friday evening. These
two students, representing Brookings
high school, won first places in the
declamatory and oratorical contests
respectively at the District meet held
here some time ago, and now go to
Vermillion to represent both the dis.
trict and the local high school. 1t is
an unusual honor that one high school
should be represented by two students
On Friday the various departments
will have prepared an exhibit of the
various work done in the high school,
and the room will be open to the pub
lie for an inspection of the exhibit.
At 300 p. m. there will be an open air
musical program, under the direction
of Miss Ostroot, by the grade students.
This program, entitled "A Carnival of
Flowers is to be held on the high
school grounds, west of the building.

preached by DR.. Tilden, Sunday even
ing, at eight o'clock at the NJ. e,
church. The subject is, THE Chal.
lenge of the Impossible"
Final examinations for the semester
begin Monday noon, and continue until
Thursday afternoon. The class play
is scheduled for Thursday night, May
%, at 500 p. m.
The play chosen by the Senior class
this year as it's class play is something
different from the productions of the
last few years. The comedy, What
Happened to Jones" has not a plot cen.
tered on some foot ball hero or any
other favorite college types such as
many classes have presented, but pic
lures a young travelling man, we'll
versed in the arts of his profession and
resourceful enough to be very inter.
esting. The play brings a laugh
a moment after the curtain rises, and
the banter of Jones wit and the sue
cession of ridiculous situations he gets
himself into, does not'allow the amuse-
ment to slacken until the moment

from the difficulties of the role of
bishop and admits to all his real identi-
ty. The travelling man is master of
every situation, whether it calls for
the role of the pious bishop, a doctor
of medicine or the lover of a most I'M
lovely spinster. But Jones is not the
only character arousing keen interest.
There is the quiet, proper professor
who almost meets destruction publ
cally and domestically, because he al
lows himself to be lured to just one
prize fight--'in the interest of
SCIENCE" there is the quaint Austral-
ian bishop in search of his dear AL
vina; there is a devoted engaged
couple; and there is gay young Cissy,
the worry of the Professors wife, and
the discoverer Of Jones identity under
the guise of the Bishop of Ballarat.
The varied parts call for good acting
and it has only been by two months of
hard work that the seniors have been
able to put on a play which has been
acted by the best professional people.
