Dress Rehearsal
For "AmaZOns"
Is Big Success
BY Leroy r. Smith,
High Sch, Junior College Reporter


During the dress rehearsal of the
senior play, "The AmaZons ;, on
W ednesday night, the picture for
the high school annual was taken.
The rehearsal was a complete sue
cess. 1t went off without break,
and kept the one or two outsiders
who happened to be present, laugh
ing from the start to finish. Most
of the elaborate scenery had been
rompleted. and was in place for
the play which is to be held tonight
and Saturday evenings. The spe-
cial costumes which are to be used
by the leads have arrived, and add
decidedly rich appearance to the
performance as Il whole.
Judging from the sale of tickets
there will be Il full house to greet
the players when the curtain goes
up tonight, and every indication
that this will be one of the most
successful affairs ever put on by
q senior class.
This afternoon on the home grounds
Central was to play the return
match of baseball with Calexico.
Calexico has won every game so far,
and Central, the nearest competl-
tor, has lost three. Although the
home school cannot win the title,
a great deal of enthusiasm was be-
ing shown over the coming game.
In the first conflict with Calexico,
Central was seriously handicapped
by the i'll condition OF several of
her best players.
