Rocky Ford enterprise., 1916-04-28
CLASS Play
A SUCCESS
Rejecting, Credit Upon All
Who Took Part
TRINIDAD DEFEATS
OUR BALL TEAM
Puts us Out of Race for Pennant-
Next Important Event is the
Track Meet on May

Amongst the most interesting
of the ceremonies attendant upon
commencement is the high school
senior class play, as was demon
strated last Friday evening, when
the Grand opera house was filled
to overtlowing for Brown of Har-
vard," staged by the Glass of 'l6
under the direction of Miss Marcia
Dickson, teacher of elocution.
"Brown of Harvard" was the
most preteutious play ever at
tempted by the Rocky Ford high
school, 27 of the seniors taking
part in it's production, but not
withstanding the apparently un-
wieldy number of participants it
was put on so attractively that
every performer, from Tom Brown
to his kid sister, came in for
hearty applause.
The Enterprise will not attempt
an extended criticism of the play,
which was presented most credit
ably, but unstinted praise should
be given Miss Dickson, the in
structress, to compensate her for
what was not Forthcoming at the
play.
Beaten at Ball
Last Saturday ended the base
ball season for the high school,
when Trinidad played our boys
and won by a score of 3 to 2.
The game was one of the most
exciting ever played here. Jack
son struck out Is of their players,
while the Trinidad pitchers sue
ceeded in striking out only Z Of
our boys. The score stood 2 to 0
in favor of Rocky Ford up to the
ninth inning and then Trinidad
managed to bring in three runs.
This gives Las Animas and
Trinidad an equal chance to secure
the pennant.
The next important event in
school athletics will be the track
meet to be held here on May 6.
Hold Last Meeting
The Parent-Teachers meeting
on Tuesday was well attended and
everybody present enjoye! the
talks.
DIR. 'Pollock's paper on "Why
Pupils Prematurely LeaveSchool, :"
WAS one of great interest and value.
The discussion, lied by County
Superintendent Phillips, WAS also
very interesting. The other paper
on Rocky Ford's Vacant Lot, J"
given by Mayor Roberts, was in
teresting as well as profitable, and
the discussion, led by Mr.. West,
was very brisk.
This was the last meeting to be
held during this school year.
School Notes
Glenn Call was a visitor at the high
school Wednesday and attended several
classes.
The seniors are attending school regular
ly now since class play practice is over.
They enjoved praotioine very much, and
were glad to hear that the play was
successful and we'll acted 1t was a play
that could be staged successfully by a
graduating class and one which would be
interesting.
Some of the classes have started re-
view in preparation for the finals. The
classes that have not begun general
review yet will start soon. SO that there
will be no work undone when it is time
to take the final examinations.
Pupils have been conducting classes
lately and in this way have been given a
little practice in teaching. This enables
them to become better acquainted with
the teachers position and also to gain
more pose and be able to ask questions
which mean something. 1t also gives
the teachers chance to see how pupils
would conduct classes.
