r,aaljng IN short, plain words, and
v,thout any attempt to give verbose
hamauets OF grammatical beauty, let
ne say sincerely and frankly that the
members Of the cast of the High
school play, "The Hoodoo,' as produc-
u At the G. Fl. S. Auditorium last
A Monday evening, have by this splendid
sffort. earned the enyiable distinction
n having produced the best high
4 school play in the history Of the
rhool. / say in the history Of the
h school and l mean by that term to
4 include the past fifteen years Of
school life, which / think covers
enough Of the dramatic activities OF
3 the institution for comparative pur-
poses
have said In the paragraph above
what have heard from q score Of
persons since Monday night. ! think
the view is generally agreed upon.
The production undoubtedly eclipsed
anything heretofore attempted by
school students and believe we have
reason to be extremely proud Of the
fact that among the student body may
be found such a large number of cap
able young folks as the cast called
for upwards Of twenty five In all, who
are able to perform in public so cred
itably.
may not be well versed as to de-
tails when the rating of the local
school as an institution for teaching
the various sidelights of the three RS
y concerned, and don't profess to
have world Of statistics In mind as
to where the school stands In ath-
letics and the various other branches
me students pursue, but If l were
called upon to pass upon the attain
ments OF the students In the line of
dramatic and literary and musical ex-
cellence as exemplified by Monday
nights performance, / would take a
vast delight and likewise feel safe
nom successful contradiction, In
scoring the local school a little over
any institution Of the kind in the
northwest.
