CENTRAL HIGH NOTES
SPECIAL CHAPEL HELD

\ special chapel was held yester-
day afternoon at 8 o'clock for the
purpose of impressing the import
ance of fire drills for the students.
Due to some unknown reasons there
had been no fire drills held at all
this year. Yesterday Prof. Severance
read the fire regulations provided by
the school board, and went over the
various exits that are to be used m
case of fire. Shortly after the as
sembly, an alarm was sounded, and
the entire building was emptied of
students and teachers in a very short
time. \ new ruling went into effect
yesterday concerning where the
pupils should go after they leave the
building during these drills. Instead
of congregating any place on the
street, the lines were kept the entire
time the student body was outside
of the school. This new method
proved very efficient, when the gong
was sounded to return to classes.
Seniors Plan Play
The first real work of the senior
class play committee was done yes
terday, when President Lewis Rimer
called a meeting between sessions.
In view of the fact that both Prof.
Severance and Prof. Rose thought 1t
impossible for the present senior
class to give a musical play, the COM
mittee dropped that idea, and took
up the one of a comedy. Mrs. Ewing,
instructor in defamation, was pres
ent at the meeting and has consented
to drill the cast for the play. 1t will
be remembered that she drilled the
cast for the 1918 class play, "The
Hoodoo." and turned out one of the
best amateur plays ever presented
in this city. The action of the COM
mittee will be reported to the class
at a meeting as soon as Rimer can
arrange to hold one. The committee
in charge of the play includes Presi-
ldent Lewis Rimer. Secretary Eliza
beth Lloyd. Virginia Forrer, Miriam
Goshorn, Carl Stoner and Robert
Crist. Mrs. Ewing and Prof. Rose are
also on the committee as faculty
advisers. Prof. ]. Rolla Miller is the
senior class adviser in charge of all
class business.
