High School Play


The Elopement of Ellen" a
three-act comedy, was well pre-
scented by the students of Vashon
high school on Saturday evening
last to large and appreciative
audience.
Every member of the cast
seemed fitted to the part assigned
and carried it through each act
without hesitation or prompting.
The scenery was we'll planned
and reflected much credit on the
committee of arrangements.
Gilbert Ward, as John Hume
the rector, looked and acted the
part so well, as did Earl Banner,
the much,engaged lover, that
they won the approval of the au-
dience from the very start. In
fact, everyone on the program
did most excellent work ard were
heartily congratulated at the
close of the play.
Those in the cast were Messrs.
Robert Gerry, Ralph Steen, Earl
Dannerand Gilbert Ward; Misses
Grace Piatt, Dorothy Cowan and
Helen Matheson.
The musical program rendered
between acts was a pleasing
feature of the evening. Donald
Mills proved himself an adept as
an accompanist with the tenor

After the curtain was rung

While he was doing this Mr Mulconry mounted the roster and held the attention of the throng. To prove that he meant "come" instead Of "go' he offered himself as a candi- date for the army this morning but could not pass the physical examina- ton.
 Sergeant McCabe will conduct his last recruiting rallies here tonight and tomorrow night. He expects that it will be his last public speech in Amer ica as he will probably be summoned in g. short time to take his place with the American soldiers in the European trenches. He has had remarkable success here, his convincing manner and his record of 22 years in the army attract cting large numbers of young men. He is native of New Haven, member of the Elks and a fourth degree Knight of Columbus.
