TEST OF A MAN.

The test of a man is the fight he makes,
The grit that he daily shows;
The way he stands on his feet ard takes
Fate's numerous'bumps and blows,
A co ward can smile when there's
naught to fear,
When nothing his progress bars,
But it takes a man 10 stand up and cheer
While some other fellow stars.
1t isn't the victory after all.
But the fight that a brother makes;
The man who, driven against the wall,
Still stands up erect and takes
The blows Of fate with his head held high
Bleeding and bruised and pale,
Is the man who'll win in the by and by,
For he isn't afraid to fail.
It's the bumps you get, and the iolts
you get,
And the shocks that your courage
stands,
The hours of sorrow and vain regret
The prize that escapes your hands
That test your mettte and prove your
worth;
1t isn't the blows you deal,
Bur the bio US you take on the good old
earth.
That shoW VS. if your stuff is real.

HIGH SCHOOL PLAY
 IS BIG SUCCESS
Senior Class Presentation of Clarence" Interesting and
 We'll Acted
Carl Iillquist Carries Principal Role
 Profit to Class Sixty Dollars

The annual play of the senior class of the Putnam High school was given at the Bradley Theatre Tuesday eve ning, when the class of 1925 present. ed Clarence, written by Booth Tar kingfon. The production was very successful. both from dramatic and financial viewpoint. The several act ors and actresses all played their parts well, while the treasury of the class is expected to benefit Co the extent of sixty to seventy dollars. Profits will go toward graduation expenses.
 The plot dealt with the accidental initiation of a returned World War veteran, going under the name of Clarence, to the domestic troubles of one Wheeler family. Why the son had been dismissed from school, the daugh- ter's troubles with her governess, the jealousy of Mrs. Wheeler because of the frequent interviews of the gov erness with her husband, were some of the things which he learned quite by accident.
 A man in possession of all this knowledge could not be turned loose on the world. SO Mir. Wheeler engaged him as a jaek-of -all-trades without even knowing his last name. All of the femininity of the house was quite enraptured with him and with his va rious accomplishments, especially in the way-of playing the piano and sax aphone. Then after the mystery of his identity had been cleared up, there came the inevitable happy ending.
 The part of Carl Tillquist, playing Clarence, was very difficult one, but was very excellently done. The part called for almost continuous presence on the stage, many long monologues, ability along musical lines, and sev- eral changes of costume.
 Gladys Peterson as Cora, the daugh- ter of Mr. and Mrs. Wheeler, also had a hard role, and one which called for considerable emotional display Minot Horne. as Mr Wheeler; Rudolph Met ty, as his son Robert; Ruth deCeudres. as Mrs Wheeler, and Doris Barrett as Violet Pinney, the governness, had important parts in the action, and did their parts we'll.
 Corinne Wilson, Ruby Payne and Perry Barber. as employees of the Wheeler family, and Ellis Pritchard, representing n young widower, had minor parts in the play. which they carried through to perfection.
 John T. Heald of Webster. profess sional dramatic coach. had charge of the presentation of the play. He had been drilling the actors at frequent in- tervals for several weeks, and deserv- ed the success which che play scored
 Miss Elizabeth Smith of the faeul- ty was in charge of the properties and settings, assisted by a committee from the senior class made up of Edith Child, Madeline Mccoy, Geraldine Frost, Sidney King. Harold Wilcox and Andrew Chilkott. A. Gilman & Co. and Blanehette & Brodeur loaned furniture for stage settings.
 The High School orchestra gave sev- era1 numbers before the curtain went up and between the acts.
