JUNIOR PLAY

When anyone attempts to criticize a
dramatic production, work of art, a
book. or anything of that nature. there
is hunt for all the adjectives in ones
vocabulary. The play that was given
Thursday evening by the junior class
can be appropriately described by the
usual stock of adjectives. The members
of the cast, Ida Wright. Doris
Whitcher, Sadie Wilson, Harold White
and Glenn Comstock did themselves
honor. "a Rice Pudding" as play.
is light comedy without deep plot
or intense scenes. The play itself
could not be extolled to the skies bus
when we speak of the acting-all it
said. That was as nearly perfecti as
any acting can be. The cast entered
into the spirit of the play and in the
Interpretation of the Individual parts
showed careful training. Much credit
is due to Miss Ferrin and Miss Curry
for the efficient manner in which they
handled the production. There was a
dance after the show. 1t is under
stood that the juniors had an $85
