SENIORS SELECT PLAY
To Give "All On Account Of
 Polly" Commencement.

The Seniors are now working very enthusiastically on the play All on account of Polly, which they are to give as their class play sometime during commence ment week. Much time and thought has been spent which will be strong and effective, and at the same time a large strain of good wholesome humor.

 The play promises to be a great success.
