Normalities to Give Play Friday Night
Friday night, March II, the Norm
al Training students will present the
play "Hoodoo." The main characters
in the play are: Harry Palmer, the
hero, playing opposite Thelma HUI
bert and Alice Thornton playing op-
posite Carl Spellum. The part of
the professor is played by Irwin Nah
igan. Lillian Flahaven is excellently
cast in the difficult part of a colored
lady. The plot of the play hinges
on a scarab owned by the professor.
Who ever has this magic scarab in
his possession is hoodooed with all
sorts of bad luck. AS the various
characters come into possession of
the scarab the plot thickens and many
humorous situations develop. "The
Hoodoo" met with marked success on
Broadway. If you want to laugh
don't fail to see "The Hoodoo" Fri
day night.
Music Department
The Senior High and Junior High
Glee Clubs, including number of
grade pupils have been practicing
for the programs to be given at the
art exhibit Thursday afternoon and
Friday evening.
The Junior Boys Glee Club is
practicing on a operetta. The oper-
eta will be presented at some future
indefinite date. The Operetta is
Double Crossed.
Friday afternoon the Seventh and
Eighth Grades had music contest.
The contest was judged by the Fresh
men. The Seventh Graders were
judged the best on the song, Gin the
Garden"
Senior Class Play
"Seven Keys to Baldpate" by
George M. Cohan has been selected
for the Senior play and rehearsals
will soon commence. "Seven Keys
to Baldpate" is a melodramatic farce
in three acts, taken from the novel
by that name. Time was, that, if
play kept its audience mystified I'M
til the very end, that play was DOOM
ed to certain failure, or, at least, au-
thors and producers thought so. But
| it remained for George M. Cohan to
demolish that fallacy, and demolish
it he did with one of the biggest sue
cesses New York has seen. 1t was
"Seven Keys to Baldpate" that
! created the vogue of the mystery
play, and since its first production it
has had many limitations, but nothing
has caused anything like the sensa-
ton of this remarkable play. 1t will
be produced by the Seniors about the
first of May, and since it is intensely
interesting from first to last, it is
assured that the Sank Centre aud
fence will greatly enjoy it.

Long Prairie High School to
Present Play
On Friday evening, March 10, the
Junior class of the Long Prairie High
School will present Booth Tarking-
toms delightful comedy, "The Init
mate Strangers" 1t is as much Tark-
ington as Barrie play is Barrie and
is written with greater facility in
handling the dramatic medium than
any previous attempt of the Indiana
author.
The action takes place in a little
| junk-line railway station, and in the
country home of girl of yesterday.
The characters are blase lawyer of
uncertain age, and old-fashioned girl,
fiapper and her playmate" a med
dlesome old aunt, two servants Gin
harmony with their environment"
and a plump, easy-going station
master. The lines are clever and
the situations amusing. Played
against a background that is both
appropriate and artistic as to light
ing and scenic effects, the production
lpromiSes to be most successful.
Mail orders accompanied by remit
lance, will be filled upon receipt by
Arthur B. Geer, business manager.
Tickets are fifty cents. Plan to
lspend Friday evening with us.-Long
Prairie Exchange.

Il Items for the Week
4 Sank Centre schools were very for
tunate in placing first and second
in the County Essay Contest. Mar
garet Moynihan took first; John Cos
tello second; and St. Cloud girl
third. Miss Larsen, who has taught
English in the High School for three
years, deserves great deal of credit
in having two. of her English students
placed over the rest of the contes-
tants in this county. Her thorough
training, particularly in the technical
part of English grammar, has made
it possible for our school to turn out
the high grade of English work that
it has.
j Everett Borgmann has decided not
to continue his school work He has
dropped from the Junior Class. AS
