Waited-for spring play are being held
There regularly. The entire east has
been chosen and the production or
The Winters Tale" promises to be
one of the most stupendous produc-
tious ever seen at Western High
School.
Although there have been many re-
verses and SetbackS in the prepara-
tionS for the play, due principally to
the recent ruling of the fire marshal
which prohibits the use of scenery,
as an aid to the producing of any
play, the committee appointed to
make survey of existing conditions
has decided to make the best of the
situation and present this play OF
Shakespeare without the use of a
curtain or scenery. The preSenta-
tlon of a play by a school always re-
puires an immense amount of prepa-
ration and the various committees on
the subsidiary requirements must
work continuously from the start of
tho rehearsals to the actual presen-
tatiCn. These committees are at the

An attempt TO have the addition Of

by Congress. placed at the rear of the
building Instead of at the front as
originally planned, was made by the
Home and School Association Of the
Schoo! at the last meeting of that or
sanitation, Wednesday evening in the
library of the school. This action of
the ASSOCIATION was precipitated by
n"fltion drawn up by the student com
initt"e of the school. which was pre-
Senttd by a member of that commit
tee 10 the association.
The petition expressed the opinion
OF the thousand or more students OF
Western who are bitterly opposed TO
the building of any addition on the
front campus if il is at all possible
- use the ground at the rear of
the school. Should the new building
be erected on the campus il is the
belief Of the majority that with the
loss of this valuable asset. the spirit
of the school would be lowered to a
great degree. With these ideas in
mind. the association adopted a reso-
luton calling for the appointment of
committee TO interview the district
tion as to the practicability of plac-
ing the addition i'll the rear. This
committee is composed of Clarence L.
