FORTUNE HUNTER E
 SENIOR CLASS PLAY
BY THE CUB

The Fortune Hunter is the name of the class play to be given by the senior players at the high school on the even ing of Friday. May 7th. It is a com edy-drama written by Winchell Smith, from whose pen came The Only Son" and The Making of Bobby Burnitt" It is widely known over the United States as being one of the most sue cessfUl modern plays. It was through personal intercourse with the author tnct the senior class was able to obtain this. John Barrymore starred in this play in all the large cities of the United States making a stoy of over a year in New York and ten months in Chi cago.
 It has been the custom of the senior class for the last few years to put on a classic costume play but this year they will attempt a modern play. The Fortune Hunter is well adapted for amateur usage if directed by a good coach. The class of '15 are lucky to have a good directoress in the person of Miss Scott. She has directed this same play once before in the Muckegon high school which was the first school that produced this play. later it was given by the Los Angeles high school for their senicr play. The rehearsals are well under way and need only about two weeks more to have it letter per- feet. The entire cast has ben chosen and the best of the senior class will take part.
 Doctor Won KleinSmid addressed the school yesterday morning on The Choosing of a Vocation. This was meant more for the senior class but was of great interest to the rest of the school. After the assembly he met the seniors in the auditorium.
 The one bis event of the week will
 be the junior-sen banquet and re- ception on Friday evening. It is an annual custom for the junior class to give banquet to the graduating class. The seniors also give an affair in honor of the juniors.
 Only three more weeks of school after this one. You can bet that the sorry ones are in the minority The seniors get the last week off in order to prepare themselves for graduation exercises.
