CLASS PLAY BY
The HIGH SCHOOL
Green Stockings" Given to Large
Audience at Al. the Ringing
Theatre

The class play at the AL. Ringing
| theatre Friday evening, given bx the
; class of 1919 of the high school was
| very much a success. The play and
players were excellent, and a large
audience was present to witness the
event. 1t was managed this year by
Miss Lillian Strong of the high-school
+, faculty
| The name of the play was Green
Stockings" a comedy in three acts.
The plot deals with the custom of how
the elder sister of the family is COM
PEELED to wear green stockings at the
weddings Of her younger sisters, pro-
viding she is unmarried or unbetrothed
herself. The older sister has worn
the hated stockings to the marriage of
two of her younger sisters, and when
the youngest is to be married she re-
bells at wearing them the third time.
She inventS an engagement to a col
onel in the army, who is supposed to
have left for battle overseas. she
writes to him to make the event more
vivid The result is that her imaginary
lover is real man and receives her
letters and comes to call on her, tell
ing her he is someone else and as an
excuse for coming says he was dear
friend of her lover who died in battle
and came to tell her about it. OF course
the fady IS much .astonished and soon
finds out that her caller is the man
& ho "a
fall in love.
Dorothy Davenport took the part Of
Celia Faraday the eldest sister, and
played the part excellently. Harlan
Kelley was Colonel Smith, her imagi-
nary lover, who proved to be real, and
his part was also equally excellent.
Claire Hoadley was Mrs. Rockingham,
one of the sisters and Miss Hoadley
was very good. Armeta Peterson took
the part Of Lady Trenchard, another
sister, and her part was played very
we'll also. Phyliss, the youngest sister;
Martha Judevine, engaged to Traver,
Durwood Dubois, both played their
parts with no less credit~than the rest
Howard Munroe and Margaret Daven-
port were William Faraday, father Of
the three daughters, and Mrs. Christie
pher Faraday, an aunt from Chicago.
The old folks played their parts splen-
didly also. Admiral Grice, a retired
seaman, was George Schenck. He
was a friend of the family; Henry
Steel and James Rale gh were Hubert
Kinds and Fred Schults, who were
also friends of the family, and Martin.
the butler, all deserve much credit for
their parts. In all, the play was one
of the best the graduating classes have
given.
Between the second and third acts
the boys glee club gave several selec-
tions, supervised by Mrs. Carr of the
faculty, which were much enjoyed by
the audience.
Stanford Richardson acted as bust
ness manager for the play and Vern
Mcfarland was stage assistant.

Hoot until your ears are aching and

When Old Glory passes by you, bare

You can thank your Uncle Sammy
that it's not German rag.
Yap until your lungs are bursting,

Show the boys they own the city and
can have most everything.
Fill them up with pies and good
things, till they split their vest and
jeans,
Turkey, goose, and young spring chick
en-, put the lid on army beans.
Let them smoke like traction engines.
till it's like a London fog,
Stuff them full of fun ana pleasure
till they're tired as dog.
Cart them home on ruber tires, let
them sleep at least week,
Put a muffler on the door bell, throw
a larm- clocks in the creek.
Then, when each and every fellow
once again is clean and sane,
Pay him for his loss in wages; give
him back his Job again.

MIKE GIBBONS PLANS TO DO A COMEBACK;
WILL SEEK THE MIDDLEWEICHT TITLE

ST. PAUL, April mike Gibbons,
considered the best niddleweight In the
country, is planning to come back In
the ring game. Gibbons has been out
of the game since the war began. He
has been boxing instructor in the army.
Mikes first engagement of importance
probably will be with Soldier Bartfield,
who once ~Outpointed him in q 10-round
affair over in Brooklyn. The soldier
won mainly because he got Mikes goat
by initiating the latteT'S ring peculiarl-
ties and mannerismS. When Gibbons
rubbed his nose with his right glove
Bartfield rubbed his own. When Glib
bons sidestepped Bartfield sidestepped
in the opposite direction. When Glib
bons duCked Bartfield duCked until at
times the two looked like a couple of
game-CoCkS in the pit.
The result of Bartfield's tactics WAS
to put Gibbons into such a rage that
he lost all form. He could do nothing
right and the more the crowd laughed
at Bartfield's clownish antics the more
Gibbons went up into the air, There
never was a better illustration of the
Importance of keeping ones temper in
the ring.
That bout took place in 1915, and the
two have not met since. In the mean
time Bartfield has gone along gaining
experience without losing any of his
speed, while Gibbons has been rusti-
eating for the past year. The st. Paul
crack has taken on weight, but not
enough to worry him.
Gibbons always was a trifle light for
a middleweight, He did his best fight
ing when he weighed around $50 pounds,
He was a nervous fellow who did not
put on flesh between bouts and gen
orally had nothing to train on. Now
that he scales at the ~middleweight limit
he may be able to do better work. HJ
also will have a considerable advantage
in pbundage over Bartfield, who is a
small m~iddleweight.
Mike O'Dowd, a fellow townsman of
Gibbons, who holds the middleweight
title, soon will be on his way back from
Europe. O'Dowd enlisted shortly after
he won the title from AL Mccoy and
has had no opportunity to defend the
honors in a big championship battle.
Although the two never have met
in the ring, it was the general impress
sion at the time O'Dowd flattened the
clumsy Mccoy that Gibbons would be
able to take the measure of the new
champion. When O'Dowd returns a
match between them for the champion
ship will be one of the biggest fistic
attractions in sight.
