! five weeks. She was absent on the

Two One Act Plays at the First Per-

Two one act comedies have been

ance.
Miss Civilization" by Richard
Harding Davis through humorous
situations /, dramatizes in q very
clever method, hospitality for law
breakers. Three burglars Freddy
the Kid s.Gehtlenaan Joe" and
"Grand Stand" Harry break into
the house of James K. Gardner,
millionaire. They are stunned by
i the warm reception given them by
their hostess, Miss Alice Gardner.
The hospitality afforded by Miss
Gardner arouses curiosity and mys-
terry. What happens will be the
most interesting part, however.
"The Teeth of the Gift Horse"
by Margaret Cameron displays
many tense situations over two
vases. Mr.. and Mrs. Butler have
received two in artistic vases from
| Mr.. and Mrs. Buffers aunt, an hon
orable old lady, whose conception
of art is meager. Mrs. Butler sees
] them at a rummage Sale. The
aunt comes to visit the neice and
nephew and the happenings that
arise from keeping the fact that the
vases have been sold, from the
aunt while the search is being
made for them, give rise to an al
m st inextricable tangle. What
happens must be seen in order that
the outcome will be thoroughly un-
derstood and appreciated.
Many of the leading colleges are
casting one act plays because of the
advantages which they have over
the three or four act plays. The
characters can give justice to their
parts better during shorter per-
Torrance. Then too, the audience
will not tend to become restless be-
cause of rapidity with which the
climax is reached:
Candy Sale.
High School life was considerably
sweetened at P. M. Tuesday by
| the Girl Scout-C. o. M. Candy
Sale. Home made sweets of all
kinds were sold to the advantage
of both the purchasing and selling
parties. The proceeds go to send
delegates to Girls Clubs meeting
to be held at Duluth soon.
The girls made candy that is hard
to beat. Some students have even
gone to the extent of recognizing
their products as brain food. Be
that as it may, first class candy was
sold; if the reader questions this,
the next candy sale will afford him
an opportunity to see for himself.
Ely Defeated.
In a fast and well played game,
both teams displaying some good
defensive and offensive work, Au-
rora defeated the Ely High School
