Senior Class Play.
The Senior Glass scored a grand
success, last evtning in the presenta-
ton of the famous Greek Play, Euri'
pides' 'Iphigenia Among the Tauri-
ans" The performance was remark
able and the large attendance very
complimentary. In spite of the catas-
trophe of several days past which
blighted the whole community, the
class hoping to advance the cause of
education with a revival of the classic
plays of Greece, set about to carry
out the plans formulated before the
college fire. Practice was resumed,
with the reopening OF, school. The ad-
vertising plan waslI interrupted, but
with the ardent energy, the ticket sale
was rapidly advanced. A good sized
audience in the Penn Auditorium
greeted the players and rewarded the
efforts of the class.
While the nature of the play was
so novel as to be decidedly attractive
the excellent Interpretation by the
students was such as to assure 9
FIRST night" success. Every charac
ter, leading or subordinate. carried
their part perfectly.
