SENIOR CLASS PLAY
. WAS BIG SUCCESS
DREW LARGE CROWD
MANY UNABLE TO OBTAIN AD-
MITTANCE TO PLAY GIVEN
BY THE SENIOR CLASS

Much credit must be given to Miss
Cady, the directories Of the Senior
pay for the creditable way in which
The Merchant of Venice Up-To-
Date" was presented. The play
started promptly at 8:l5 to music
from the High school orchestra. The
curtain went up on full house and
from the first to the last act the pro-
duction was of the highest quality.
The hero and heroine, Fuller Dorr
and Eileen Bolenbaugh, as Bassonio
and Portia, were we'll suited 10 their
parts. The part Of Shylock was well
drawn by Andrew Kramer and The
Merchant Of Venice, Antonio taken
by Maurice McNaughton, was well
portrayed. Gayle Mehney and Veva
Mandevile as Gratiano and Nerissa
did credit to their parts and Gertrude
Wieks as Launcelot Gobbo was the
life and fun Of the entire production.
Jessica, Shvlock's ward, was well
portrayed by Irene Dorr and Mrs.
Gobbo, by Sylvia Hoyt, Oother mem
bers cf the cast deserving credit are:
Keith Gildmeister, in his character
ization of the Professor, Nern Bal
Icy as the Duke Of Venice and Le-
Roy McKiddie as Tubal. Irene Deitz
portrayal Of the school teacher, Miss
Abbie S. Threedice was very realis-
tic. Mildred Shores as Polly, the
maid George Skellenger as the Po-
liceman, Freida Day as Antonio's
mother and the foot ball players also
helped to make the play the success
il was.
The features presented by mem
bers of the class between the acts,
were Of the highest rank and Marion
CusSer and Louise Wilson deserve
much praise for the creditable way
in which they drilled the different
groups i'm their dances The vocal
solo by Elizabeth Raynor and the
violin solo by Cleotah Burns was
much appreciated by the audience.
The banjo selections by Leroy Nc
Kiddie and Neva Vaudeville were
very unique in character and were
much enjoved by the audience.
What pity that the new High
school is not available for the splen
did gift which the proceeds, which
was over two hundred and seventy
five dollars, Will give. Nothing could
be Of more general and excellent
value to the city and community than
the radiophone which the seniors
will leave as their remembrance.
We hope the auditorium in the New
High school will be large enough to
accommodate twice as large an audi
enee as the opera house and j hqtu
thc annual 1Dii5Vl pays III @llS A"'"'
will be held there.
Over one hundred people were

SET OF COUNTERFEITERS DIES
FOUND AMONG EFFECTS
OF AGED CONTRACTOR

Sheriff Mark Hoppough was called
TO this city, Wednesday afternoon,
of last week TO arrest Frank Trich,
aged ~ years who had been making
his home at the residence of Dr.
Marjory NJ Orr, well known local
physician for the past year and the
fhances are that had he done as re-
quested by the doctor, he would still
have been enjoying his freedom.
Irleh came here year ago and
went Immediately to the home of
DIR. Orr, who when a girl in school
had worked in the home of Mr. and
Mrs. TriCh for a short time, not as
IA member of the family, but paying
her way well for the accomoda-
lions she received from Mr.. and Mrs
|Irich. After short stay with the
Family, DR.. Orr left and since then
bad heard nothing from the family
|until the morning of Trich's arri-
Eal when she received a note that
(he would be here that very day
Hupposing that he was only going
make a call, the doctor welcomed
m and later on that day when he
nmGwsl no disposition of going to a
y ntinued to make the doctors res
llrence his home, despite her sever
|a requests to get out and secure
place for himself.
Last week when DR.. Orr told him
THAT she could have him around no
llonger. Trich told her that he would
mot think Of leaving and when she
| told him that he must, the old tel-
| low came back and told her that
when he went he would take her
lalong with him and that together
they would make the trip over the
Unabridged chasm from which no
traveller has yet returned. Irlch
| followed up this assertion with the
statement that he had 81 callber re-
| volver loaded and in readiness &c
use on the doctor the minute she
tried to get him out
DR.. Orr decided that the man haC
gone insane and called Sheriff Hop
pough who Immediately came up anC
arrested Trich. Among his effects
were found numerous dies for max
ing counterfeit money and he wa:
|taken to Ionia and placed in the
county Jail for examination.
Physicians who examined him san
he was not insane and they wouli
not commit him to the state hospi
tai at Traverse Ciy as had been re
uuested.
At a result Trich will undoubtedl
have to stand trial on the charge o
having counterfeit dies in his pos
session. The aged man stated that n
had always worked on the illega
dies and that he had always had
liking for that work, but elaine
that he had never passed any of tn
money. Federal authorities VINO Wei
called in the case. however, thin
that this is an untruth and they. al
of the opinion that in the appreher
sion of Trich, they have man the
have been looking for for Ion
time. In case of his conviction on II
counterfeit charge, he would serN
from five to fifteen years in Lea
enworth federal prison.
Trich, for many years, had work'
as a Carpenter and contractor, al
had worked some at his trade here
