MERCHANT OF VENICE
DRAWS BIG GROW

The little farce presented by the Senior
class entitled The Merchant of Venice
Up-to-date," " attracted very large audi
ence on last Friday night. Considering
some disadvantages against which the
class had to work, the play was very
creditsbly done. The play itself being
little peculiar, requires time and hard
practice to present it we'll, and our
young folks could have done much bet
ter and presented their work more cas-
lily and naturally had they had a week
or two longer for preparation. We here
present the personnel.
Shylock was presented by Doris Han
ley. Antonio by Philip Woodwork
Antonio's two friends, Bassonio and
Gratiano, were represented by Lloyd
Sutherland and Dewey Miller. Louise
Kubler played Launcelot Gabbo, Shy
locks servant. Margaret Adair acted
as Miss Threedice, a teacher. Gordon
Kneelsnd presented the part of the
Professor an Xray photographer. Stella
Rayer acted as Shylock's ward Jessics,
also as the Duke. Ruth Adair played
both Portis and "a Learned Judge >
Hazel Parker played Tubal, football cap.
tain; Nerisss, Portals friend, and an
attendant at court.
The make-ups Of Shylock and Launce-
lot Gabbo brought great laughter. The
play from start to finish was proceeded
without awkward pausing, very little
prompting being necessary. The tech.
niqus OF the performance was commend
able. The audience was appreciated.

FOREST FIRES.

On Sunday, May z, FIRE broke out 10
sunday Gulch approximately 3 miles
north of Sylvan Lake, and on account Of
the very high wind spread rapidly. Men
were secured from both Hill City and
Custer, and the fire was gotten under
control before midnight Sunday. On
account of the large amount Of dead
material on the ground, the heat and
smoke were very intense, but with the
aid of twenty men the Forest Off GERS
succeeded in conining it to approxim-
ately 20 acres. Considerable young
growth was destroyed, but not a great
deal of merchantable tim Der.
Tuesday morning, the Lookout on
Harney Peak reported smoke in the
vicinity of 0reyile. A Forest officer
on 8 motor cycle Immediately started
out for the same, Upon his arrival he
found that the fire was too large to be
controlled by one man, and he at once
telephoned for assistance. Additional
help was sent and the fire was controlled
before il burned over very large area.
The Harney Peak and Bear Mountain
Lookout stations cover practically the
entire forest, and any fires which occur
are picked up before it is possible for
them to do very much damage.
Mr.. McClsren, who is in charge of fire
protection in District 2, has been on the
Hsrney Forest for the past week in,

cUsrER MEETS A SECOND DEFEAT.

Last Saturday, May 9th, the Custer
High School ball team met second de.
feat at the bands Of Hot Springs, on the
htter's diamond, 10y score OF l6 to 3.
The game for Custer started off by a
home run from Gordon KneeIand How
ever, this didn't last long because We
didn't see the home plate again until the
ninth inning men two more runs were
brought in
During the first part Of the game,
Hayes pitched good ball but be had
practically no support at all and in the
seventh, alter rxhIsting signs of lassi-
tude, he Was replaced bv Pflaum, who
only allowed oae or two hits. The faults
ia our bah play Ing seemed to lie in our
great ability 20 get ratified and the fact
that our batting was especially poor.
However. US looking al the situation in
a little different manner, We did AS well
AS could be expected, considering that
the Hot Springs team has never been
/ defeated this season.

I that YOU are expected to be there TO do
