I the scholars OIL the Fi1Sn SCnOOl ana
| their friends are waiting for the APP
| proach of the evenings of April so and
May 1, when the Dramatic club of
the school will present THE Lost
| Paradise For many years this
| part of the social life of the school
! has proven most popular and success
| full the hOnors being chiefly due to
! Miss Mildred Weld of the faculty
! who has given literally of her time
: and energy as director.
. The play chosen for this year is
. something entirely different than has
; ever been presented by the pupils. 1t
; is more ELABORATE and far more diff
cult, but with the strong cast, the
capable management and all the ac-
! cessories necessary, an unusually sue
| cessful production is prophesied.
Thure Bengston and Miss Millicent
Barnes have spared no efforts as
manager and assistant manager. The
! scenery this year will surpass any yet
seen upon the school stage as the
management was fortunate in Sc
! curing Ernest Maughlin of the ly-
| ceum Co. to do the painting.
