The Senior class presented their
annual play. Deacon Dubbs, Friday
night. The theatre was packed to ca
pacity long before the curtain rose for
the first act, and number OF people
were unable to gain admittance to the
house. The play passed off without
a hitch. Every one played their part
to perfection. and those attending say
it was the best play that was ever
rendered in Bismarck The only draw
back was the lighting plant went out
Of order, and for a while the audience
was in total darkness, but they were
so deeply interested in the play that
they did not pay any attention to the
darkness. The great success that the
play proved to be is due to Mrs. F. w.
