into riding to classes, or to frater-
nifty and sorority houses on 28th

taxi!p were hurled at popular goods
who had turned chauffeurs for the
day.

pleased with the coed driving him
and interested in the purpose of
Taxi day.
The profits were contributed to
the student scholarship loan fund,

FIRST PERFORMANCE OF SENIOR PLAY
LAST NIGHT RECEIVES GREAT PRAISE

Taking its place among the best
plays, and certainly among the very
best comedies presented by the
high school classes, 1.-THE Wild
Westcottsp won the approval of
large audience. when it was pre-
sented for the first time last night.
A second performance will be given
this evening, at 8 O'Clock.
Outstanding performances are
given by Joe Golf, the youngster
who carries the heavy burden of
his wild family s troubles on his
shoulders and who personally man
ages such family affairs as two
courtShips and near divorce. by
Ethel-Pearl Cross as Muriel, the
oldest sister of the family; and by
Lorena CaSS as Agatha. Tony s twin
sister whose determination to make
herself the wife of Captain Tren-
chard is thWarted and who resigns
herself to marriage with Eddie
Hudson, an ardent but juvenile
suitnr.
Ranging from the happy abandon
of romantic young girl through
the unhappiness of a temperament
al and viXenish young wife, and
finally TO the ccntentment of hap
PLY married young woman, Muir
iel's role neceSsitateS a versatility
and poise amply supplied by Miss
Cross.
Allyene Pyle, who takes the part
of Muriel IS maid, introduces some
of the best comic dialogue in the
play by her comments on her mis-
tress IS ways and by her accounts
of the principles of her husband IS
philosophy.
Jimmy Huston as Henry Hewlett,
the young business man who wins
Muriel's hand, gives good per-
formance.
Tom Payne is good as Captain
Trenchard who, with difficulty,
eludes Agatha snares and sue
ceeds in marrying the young and
attractive widow, played by Peggy
Rhodes.
Percie Thacker and Ruth Canon
do well in the roles of the father
and mother of the family. While
yainly trying to direct the affairs of
their children, they succeed in
carrying on a few of their inter-
estS on the side.
A. B. Britton wins approval as
Eddie Hudson whose ardent pur-
sual of Agatha is somewhat hinder
ed by the bashfulness of a 17-year-
old suitor and by Agatha s intense
interest in Captain Trenchard.
Another unsuccessful suitor is Pat
Bush, whose interest in Muriel IS
evidenced throughout the play.
Supporting Tony in his plots are
