RICHMOND PUPILS SEE
FIRST SHOWING OF
HIGH SCHOOL PLAY

Scores of kiddies from the element
airy schools of Richmond witnessed
the first performance of "Pinafore,
the high school play, in the school
auditorium Tuesday afternoon a
matinee was to have been given We'd
nesday afternoon for students of Gar
field junior high school. Night per
formances for the public are to be
held on Wednesday and Thursday
nights.
TO produce a comic opera like Pin
afore' it was necessary to have a
large amount of cooperation from
many people. The production has
been made possible by the aid of near
ly every department in the school.
Required Cooperation.
The project was undertaken as a
community enterprise, and has proven
itself to really be just that. In order
to stage the play effectively in the
high school auditorium it was neces-
sary to practically construct an en-
tire setting This has been done by
the practical arts and the fine arts de-
partments working together. While
the fine arts have provided the huge
VAIN uIopy NiuSS anu lIleS, anu otIlCt
parts of the scenery. The stage car
penters from the practical arts depart
men have constructed the quarter
deck, ships rail, and other pieces OF
setting that are necessary.
AS result the auditorium stage
with its blank back wall has been
transformed into a realistic setting for
a portion of the deck of H. NJ. S. Pin
afore.
Seated in the audience one looks
across the deck into the blue waters
of Portsmouth Bay seeing the old viii
lage on the shore in the distance. This
setting has been further aided by
many special lighting effects which
have been worked out by the boys in
the science department. The moon
light setting in the second act is es
pecially effective.
Costuming Required. Care
The costuming of cast to include
over so people was no light task. The
men-ofwars-men dressed in modern
sailors costumes and their officers in
regulation uniforms. The ladies of
the chorus are dressed in fancy cos
tunes all of which have been designed
and made by the sewing department
of the school The direction of the
play has been under the auspices of
the music department.
Pinafore is an unusually heavy pro-
duction for a high school cast to at
tempt but the progress of the last
week in rehearsals and the matinee
Tuesday indicate that the play as stag
ed on Wednesday and Thursday even
ings will compare favorably with any
amateur performances that have been
given in Richmond for the last few
years. The cast has been drawn from
the school as a whole and in nearly
every case unknown talent has been
discovered and developed. Richmond
persons who attend the performances
will be amazed at the quality of voice
and interpretative ability of some OF
the persons in the cast

PATHETIC STORY
OF YOUNG WOMAN
Writing on the Wall Of One Of citys
Public institutions Full OF
Human Interest.

Did you ever stop to think Of the
littls piece Of humanity going down
the street IA the form Of a girl whom
you knew was friendless? Wen, there
are many pathetic little stories whis-
pered from ear to ear every day in
Pensacola Of which many would
shock the modern public If the facts
we're made bare. But this making
facts bare can't always be done to
mean well in the sight of thu public
The public is a great body of people
who can and do generally criticize
anything which does not exactly meet
up to its closest expectation in NOR
ais, character and sentiment. But the
greatest Of all standards at present in
the human mind seems to be morals.
for this reason a little story is being
told to the reader that has been copied
from the walls OF one Of the public
institutions OF the city. The story
has been investigated and has been
found to be of true authencity, and
reads in part as follows:
my home was down in a little old
town In Florida and I came to PEN
sacola, Fla when I was only IA years
Of age, my people moving here at
that time. My mother and father died
here. MY mother died in February.
1919, and my father died in March,
1920. I was left all alone and only
15 years old. Then along came a
sailor boy who finally wrecked my
Iife- Today I am 16 years old and
getting drunk and going to jail every
night. Now girls don't let a sailor be
too friendly with YOU"
The name OF the writer was written
very plainly, ana IL the criticizing
public would be OF more kind mind
toward the unfortunate girl once In a
while there would be a greater num-
Der OF girls found" every year who
disappear so mysteriously from all
over the United States.

above story died in a public hospital
