SENIOR CLASS PLAY
WAS GREAT SUCCESS

Thoroughly Enjoyed on April
Fools Day.
The Senior Class play "The Hoo
doo," was presented before a large
and appreciative audience at the op-
era house on Thursday evening April
1st. It was one Of the best, il not
the best, play ever given by students
Of the high school. The play is in the
nature Of a comedy, replete with
quick action and humorous situations.
Each student performtd his or her
part in very meritorious manner,
that showed thorough understanding
of the role in which each appeared as
we'll as careful rehearsal. Too much
credit can not be given to Miss Nora
Bake, of the High School Faculty,
for her efficient work in training the
players. The scenery in the first act
was made by students of the High
School under the direction of J. Nevin
Johnson, manual training instructor,
and was undoubtedly the most beau
tiful and elaborate ever seen in
home talent play in our city. The
cast of characters is as follows:

Each player did so we'll that it is
impossible almost to single out any
one for special mention. Hilmer
Erickson as Brighton Early and Ade-
line Lindstrand as Miss Amy Lee,
both about to be married, played
their parts very skillfully, Frans A.
Larson made an ideal Billy Jackson,
the heart-breaker. The part of Pro-
fessor Solomon Spiggot was well
played by Chester Hanson and Clin-
ton Winchester as Hemachus Spig-
got, the son, always created. merri-
ment by his drawing voice and droll
witticisms. The most difficult part
Of all was perhaps that of Aunt Para
disc, the colored cook lady, played by
Lucille Farrell, in manner that could
not have been improved upon by
genuine darkey. Magnus Pihlstrom
impersonated burglar to perfection.
Martin Samuelson represented live
ly and love-smitten old gentleman Of
SO quite realistic. Caddie Robinson
played the role of Mrs. Ina Ginger,
fascinating young widow, very well
indeed. Olga Bloomsness we'll rep
resented Mrs. Semeramis Spiggot,
and Helen Mathwig, Lucille White,
Selpha Torgeson, Ida Copp, Saxton
Nelson, Anna Peterson and Clara
Knutson played their respective parts
in pleasing and natural manner. AS
the play was unfolded many exciting
things happened but fortunately, as
often in real life, everything ended
very happily.
The proceeds Of the class play was
$1s6OO.
