SCHOOL NOTES

The first play ever given by
the students of the Winslow
High School last Monday night
in the Front street Opera House:
"The Merchant of Venice, Up to
Date was greeted by large
audience who went away well
pleased with the efforts of the
local boys and girls. George
Drumm as Antonio, the hero of
the play and captain of the local
football team was fine, and the
elopment scene with Jessica,
Miss Grace Butner, was effective
and won them generous applause
from the house. George Sampson
as Rassanio, and the firm friend
of Antonio. won applause from
the scene wherein he passed the
examinations necessary for the
winning of Portia, Miss Ethel
Burklund. The scenes participated
in by Portia and Nerrisa, Miss
Louise Dadey were especially
good and both deserve credit for
the manner in which they carried
out their dialogue parts. Perhaps
one of the best characters was
William Wright as Shylock,
carrying as he did the heaviest
lines and portraying the villain
to every ones satisfaction. He
won generous applause for the
effective manner in which he
tested his shears for the famous
''hair cutting" scene. His only
grief was that he was foiled in
his barber-ous purpose by the
young Judge Portia, Launcelot,
Charles Eastman was a typical
messenger boy in every detail,
while his brother Lee Eastman
made a very dignifed and majes-
tic Duke. Gladys Fouts as Miss
Three Dice, the praeceptress,
won applause for her humorous
portrayal of modern teacher.
Mrs. Gobbo, Miss Clara Allen,
was distinguished by her broad
brogue Erin. Ella Dadey, as
Polly, the maid, and Lloyd Park,
as Tubal, the football player,
Francis Woods as Gratiano and
Ralph Weber as Prof. Hooligan
also entered into their parts
with zest.

impressively.
Edna received the bouquet of
redolent lilies of the valley with
a happy smile and secured them
in her Corsage.

Edna was very busy, as were
all her assistants, for the next
hour. There was a great throng,
and the affair was certainly
wonderful success. More than
once Edna stole a hurried, disap-
pointed look about the room.
"Why did Robert not Gomez"
she asked herself, and her rose
bud lips pouted slightly. She
had been fattered at the graceful
attentions of Allen, but why had
not Robert Dean been on hand, as
she had anticipated, as she had
right to expect?

They were lovers, almost en-
gagged. They were neighbors,
their homes near together. Mary
Dean was Edna's closest friend.
And then as Edna at last saw
Robert enter the room, a hand
some brunette, a stranger to her,
on his arm, her face drew down
and she turned her back dehber-
ately upon Robert as he smiled
at her
Purposely she evaded him after
that. When the bank struck up
and the dancing began upstairs,
she allowed the handsome,
stranger, Mr.. Allen, to take most
of the dances on her card.

Edna pettishly, and when the
dance was over she again evaded
Robert, seeking for her with a
hurt, mystifed look on his face.
Edna allowed Mr.. Allen to see
her home and to carry the hand
bag containing the proceeds of
the sales. She listened to his
handsome compliments, and
spitefully compared his elegant
ways with those of the plain but
honest Robert. When she got
home, however, and reached her
room, she sat down with a sigh
and a dull pain at her heart.

body Of the dead child Mary covered
her eyes with her hands for moment
She felt as il she would faint-but then
she remembered that what the nurse
had said was true-that there should be
no disturbance in here.
1t was only the next day that Mary
received a summons from the hospital
by telegram and hurried to obey it, The
physician in attendance told her II had
been decided that, to save her child 5
life. an operation would be necessary
The swollen gland in the throat was in
such condition that il must be re-
moved al once. As in all crises OF her
life Mary found herself strangely calm
She consented at once to whatever the
surgeon thought best.
She seemed to live through many
years while awaiting the result of the
operation Yet when she was told that
1t had been successful and that her baby
had rallied from the anesthetic, she
forgot her anguish In a great sense Of
relief and gratitude.

this operation will work a complete
change in the child's health There was

Her prayer was answered. The day
came-a beautiful Indian summer day in
November-when she was told that she
might take her baby home with her
once more in their home, mother and
grandmother looked into each others
eyes across the small cot on which the
child lay. In spite Of what he had
