STAGE PLAY AT ARMORY
Senior Glass Active in Preparation
of Comedy.

Arrangements have been made with
the management of the Bemidji Ar
mory for the production of the senior
class play which will be presented
June third. Rapid progress has
been made in the preparation of the
three-act comedy and those who have
seen the rehearsals claim that it is
one of the best plays ever selected by
a senior class. Although it pictures
a college scene and the characters
represent college students, there is
a great difference between "The
Dream That Came True and any
other play ever presented here.
