CLIFTON BOY SCOUTS

Public subscriptions are being so- licited by the Troop Committee of the Coyote (Clifton) Patrol of the Boy Scouts of America.
 This national organization has been represented in Clifton for the past sixteen months by a small patrol. Its work has not been very public and the evident results are small, but the possibilities are great.

 The organization is non-military but teaches loyalty, patriotism and chivalry. The Scout motto which is copyright on our badge has been ad- opted by the country at large. It is Be Prepared"
 The Scout oath is, "On my honor, will do my best

1.-THE cHEATERs" TO BE GIVEN


 The Senior Class of the High School has begun regular practice on it's class play. The drama chosen for presentation is "The Cheaters," :" la translation of an old French farce.
 The choice was determined by the novelty, historic interest, literary i'm portance, characterization and humor- ous situations Of the play. The Cheat
 CTS has never been produced by a high school in America up to this time, but within the last three years it has been played in several of the
 eastern colleges and has had suc-
 cessful run in professional theatres in New York, Philadelphia and Bos- ton
 The historic and literary interest appears as soon as we know that
 The Cheaters has had in France an
 acting life of almost 600 years. Ev- eryone should be curious to discover
 the qualities that make a play live throughout the changing centuries
 Furthermore, the characters afford opportunities to the young actors which they are not slow to realize
 The situations are ludicrous, and the satire on human nature and types of
 business seems to apply directly to
 modern conditions. Moreover, the admirable translation has kept the spirit and tone of the original intact. The Cheaters will be played in the high school auditorium next Friday evening. Admission 25c. The stu dents and faculty hope there will be a large audience present at the produc tion.
 This play will close the school sea
