THE DRAMATIC CLUB GIVES SECOND PLAY

The Dramatic club of Phillips High school met Wednesday afternoon in the auditorium of the school to enjoy one act play given by the members of the Dramatic club and sponsored by Miss Leila Mae Smith, the sponsor of the club.
 The play, which was Mae Hanna's, "The Hyacinths," was splendidly acted by Miss Mary Nabb Phillips, as Jane. Miss Catherine McCurry as the Moth. er," and Miss Julia Well as Lucille: Each of the characters played their parts so well that they kept the club en- raped in the thread of the story from start to finish. The climax of the play was reached when Jane, who has been saving diligently for 15 years to go off on a trip finds that she has saved so long that now she cannot spend. So, she advises Lucille, who is planning on going to New York to enjoy the bright lights" against her mothers wishes, to go on and have the good time she can not. She helps her by presenting to her the beautiful suitcase that she intended using herself and lending her the money with which to make the trip.
