Monday Night
 The dramatic talent of Canaan High School rose to new heights of glory on, Monday evening, when the Class of 1928 presented the lively comedy, Patty Makes Things Hum'' before large and appreciativej au- dience which comfortably filled the Town Hall. -
 The play was huge success from start to finish and the spectators were most hearty and generous in their applause. ~ <
 We will not attempt to eulogize < any particular member of the \cast, pany. However, if the lime-light must be turned upon any one char acter, it is entirely fitting that the person so honcred should be no less than Patty, the leading lady. Miss Eleanor Baldwin, who played in the stellar role, certainly lived up to all agreements and made things hum, and then some.
 Miss Florence Goggin, as Mrs. Greene, the society woman to whom life was nothing but one party after another, surely did entertain under difficulties, the chief of Which was her carefree sister Patty, but it is pleasing to note that Mrs. Greene was entirely able to cope with all adverse circumstances.
 Miss Evelyn Lindell, as Mrs. Smith, proved to be real friend to Mrs. Greene, and was an important member of the cast. ' f Miss Josephine Tinker, playing the part of Hope Dunbar, shone as a brilliant characterist, her impersona- tin of Miss Dunbar's tyne being well-nigk a perfect bit of acting.
 Miss Genevieve Malcuit, as Helen Braithwaite, was a pleasing young society member, and carried on an interesting affair with Captain Little :. Mss Helen Roberts, as Hyacinth, the talkative colored maid, kept the audience in good humor with her many little tricks of speech and manners. Her fower-garden family was one of her pet conversational gems. nf> .'-, .e.. '.
 As for the male members of the cast, there is nothing but praise. Captain Bfaithwaite andN Captain Little, played by Peter Foley and Norman Hicks, were dashing young officers, with some. interest in the ladies' Captain Braithwaite was the exposure of feminine eyes, but he finally settled his disputes over his attentions. Captain Little, who spent two sleepless nights in thrash ing out the problem of his broken engagement was finally rewarded for his persistence. Harold Scutt and Henry Dodge played the parts of MT. Smith and MT. Little, and were quite accommodating husbands.
 Between the first and second acts, Misses Jennie Higgins, Hilda Cox, Elizabeth Barrett, Kathleen Mullen, Isabelle Lindell and Alice Gillette, and Franklin Adams and Robert Sellew, IT,, presented an action song, ,"The Little Red School-House" Between the second and third acts, the same six girls sang, Glove Sends 1 A Little Gift of Roses" Miss Frances Cole was the director of these diversions and is to be con- graduated upon the peffection ot -ne acting. Miss Cole provtd l valu- able in staging the play, by making suggestions which added materially 10 the ultimate success of sha per. furGance.
 Much appreciation is also due the efforts of Mrs. s. G. Camp, who di rected the play and produced such 2 marked success. The committee thanks all who assisted in the stag ing of the play by donating proper ties, etc. The cast follows:
