one of the prettiest and most at
tractive that this school has
presented in Richmond. The en-
tire cast of characters was unus-

Blanton, "The Sweet Girl Grad
uate,' and Miss Mary Martin the
mother threatened with nervous
prostration," showed very marked
histrionic ability and Caldwell is
to be congratulated on sending
forth such talented young ladies.
The stage setting, the work of the
Manual Training Department, is
also worthy of especial mention
showing skill and perfect taste.
Richmond is fortunate indeed in
having a High school where
everything is taught from the use
of the hammer and saw TO the
intricate work of the drama.
