 The first attempt of the fresh man class of the Plainville High school in presentation of amateur thcatriCals was given last evening before a full house in the Commu- nity theatcr on Whiting street. The affair was an immense success both financially and socially and the class will realize q neat sum on the ] opcrctta for it's piano fund and other projects which have been planned at the school.
 The play was entitled "A Merry | Company" and the cast and chorus was composed of members of the l freshman class of the High school assisted by two members of the fourth grade. Albert Miller and Vinton Earl. The leading parts were taken by Edmund TolIi and l Helen Ostman as the little old man and the little ola woman, rcspec- i lively, and their acting and singing was a revelation 10 the audience. The characters of Bessie. portrayed | by Virginia Conforti, and of Gcrtie, | by Catherine Bcaulicu. were among 1 the best and Captain Milton Kramer of the cadet corps carried out his part 10 perfection.
 The cadet corps consisted of William Weber, Norman Earl, Samuel Pratt, Steven Sasek, Ellery Haskell, Frederick Gainer, Victor Hurtado and Sebastian Acari The girls chorus was made up of Helen McKernan, Elizabeth Stanley. Lucy Rogers, Marjorie Rutland, Emily Kilby, Jennie McIldowie, Helen Russell Sophia Naaman, Jean Trumbull. Mildred l'lodquist. Doro- thy Conlon, Ethel Johnson, Hope Farrar and Mildred Woodruff.
 The principals in the play ren- i dcred several solos and duets in an l excellent manner and the chorus ! EIdI 10 Nfit Ntlt SOotI bbl II lOl Ildt mony and technique. The speciality numbers, a dance by Miss Trum- 1 bull, accompanied on the piano by Miss Lois Phelps, and violin duet by Misses Farrar and Flodquist were especially we'll received. The drill of the cadet corps was a pleasing surprise and brought forth rounds of applause.
 Principle F. x. Ham and the committee which produced the Oper- etta wish to publicly thank the fol- | lowing people for their kindness in helping with the productions: The proprietors of the Community The ater, Mrs. Bailey and the various not least, the work of Albert White as pianist for the entire affair with the exception of the special dance, is being commented on all sides. ! The teachers and friends of the cast who helped to outfit the mcm- bers in their costumes, deserve wealth of praise while the carpenter work of Axcl Johnson about the stage, made the play possible. Plans will probably be made to hold similar affair in the near future.

 A meeting of the boys of the Plainyile High school will be held tonight and the nucleus of an ath- lctic association will be formed if it is found possible.
