Friday evening the Senior Class
play was given before large audience.
1t is safe, to say that this rendition
of 1.-THE Whole Towns Talking, a
comedy in three acts by John
Emerson and Anita Loos under the
direction of Miss jeanette Jones, was
one of the best Class plays ever pro-
duced in the city. The audience was
more than pleased and the applause
was persistent and the humor of the
play spontaneous. One of contributory
successes of the play was the excellent
music furnished by the Senior Orches-
ira under the direction of Mrs. H. L.
Noah

possible to select the best actors in the
play. All covered themselves with

Rolando, Janet Laing, Ina Saari, Mar
tina Mattola, Ernie Coad, Florence

had not been won with the awarding
of the diploma but that the real
fight was to follow; that upon the
conduct of this fight depended in a
large measure the success of the STU

member their Christian teaching dur
ing the time they were trying to
achieve the coveted success.

butte to the graduates.
