GOOD PRODUCTION
GIVEN BY SENIORS
Nothing But the Truth" Well Put
On; James Cosgrove and Miss
Eva Hays Are Stars

James Cosgrove and Miss Eva
Hays share the honors in Nothing
But the TRUTH" presented by the
Senior class of the Morris high school
last Friday and Saturday night at
the Orpheum theatre. James Co.'S
grove did remarkly we'll as Bob
Bennett and Eva Hays interpreta-
tion of Mrs. Ralston, was uncommon
ly good.
The players deserve great credit
for their finished production. They
give evidence of Miss Alice V. Hotch-
kiss skill as coach. Considering the
fact that they had only few weeks
of practice, all the members of the
cast got into their parts very well.
William Ringness showed consider
able dramatic ability as Dick Don
nelly. Miss Estelle Watzke as Gwen
and Miss Marion Larson as Mabel
also performed very creditably. John
Garberick had the part of Mr.. Raj
ston we'll in hand, but spoke little
too rapidly.
Lawrence Morrison as Bishop
Doran furnished some good comedy
moments when he yelled loud
enough" to get his money back.
Raymond LeSage played the parti-
cularly untruthful Mr.. Van Dusen,
Miss Mildred Leuty, Miss Ethel
Clark who was supposed to sing bad
ly, Miss Bernice Richardson Mabels
partner and Miss Kathryn Sirr took
the part of Martha, the maid.
The play was a mans play rather
than woman's, for the men have
the stage practically to themselves
in the first act. The satire on lies
white and otherwise is clever and
amusing.
Miss Hazel Cosgrove sang several
selections between the first and sec
ond acts and Mrs. G. w. Meekins
danced the Scottish sword dance and
a sailors hornpipe. The audience
was especially delighted with the
hornpipe. c. J. O'Connell sang ac-
companied by Miss Ora Christianson
Miss Janice Gould gave reading.

tion of the faculties of the schools

met with such success in Morris and
communities of Cyrus and Hancock

ing those in the schools outside the
town limits, Cyrus comes next with
siXty-five to their credit and Norris
is not far behind having f1fty-eight

better the community by promoting
the raising Of better products, the
elimination of waste, the encouraging
of thrift, and the advancement of So
cial life by the development and
training of the boys and girls to
render service to others on all oc-
casions possible.

canning were selected as their main
projects. The seventh and eight

dent Of their club and Otto Splitstoser

try and corn.
The support of the fathers and
