to be the unanimous opinion of
those who witnessed the senior

Friday evening. Zella Smith, as
Francis, John Newton, as Rud-
der, Joe Raby, as Mr.. Raymond,
and Edgar Brazeal as Edward
Andrews, had the heavier parts,
and bore themselves creditably.
Mamie Beach, as Aunt Janet,
Oma Moore, as Mrs Widdimore,
Robert Craig, as Johnnie, Fred
Raby, as Stiles, and Sylvia Bra
zeal, as Ellen, were equally as
good, although their parts were
not so heavy. Each participant
should be complimented. The
