SENIOR PLAY rs SUCCESSFUL

Successful, not odly financially
but In all respects, the Senior Glass
play, presented last Friday, was
very much enjoyed by all present.
Alter all, to give pleasure is the
main object OF a. play. quite large
crowd attended The Senior Glass
thsHlks the public 1or it's good sup
port About s43 was taken in,
counting the matinee given Thurs
tSsay afternoon, but the net profit
will only be approximately $25.
The Scene of the play was laid
out in a. cabin in New Mexico. Pro-
lessor HaI]eck. the part well por-
trayed by Hugh Burch as a very
learned man, is living in the cabin
while he is *9digging up the dirt
looking for a, buried treasure and
studying some old ruins. Jose An
draela, who is supposed to be his
cook and a low-down orne1y Mex,
was we'll accented by Bud Morris.
Along with the Professor are two
boys, working their way through
college, and they are here helping
the professor with his archaeology.
One of the boys, Kenneth Andrews,
is played by Tom Sigurdson, and he
is the more serious of the two. The
other one, Bill LOOMS, newspaper
reporter, THAT is, until he got fired,
was very we'll upheld by Ralph
Montgomery. He was just full Of
bright ideas and wisecracks and al
ways thought in big headlines, much
to the discomfort and embarrass-
nent of Ken. These two were the
main leading parts in the play, be-
cause if they hadn't of crawled in a
cave with skunk, they wouldn't
have had to wear those blankets
which hid their lovely figures and
beautiful legs When the sheriff
(the part of the sheriff was taken
by Cliff Whitwer) appears on the
scene to find out what some signals
are all about, he is very much dis
turbed about the queer gaTb of the
two boys and the peculiar odor a.

them a telegram for the professor.
The boys read it, only to find that
they are to have guests they
not dressed to receive!
The guests prove to be none other
than an old girl fried of the pro-
fessors and a party of younger peo-
pie. The girl friend of the profess
sor is Aunt Miriam, or Miss Eggles.

very elegantly by Wilma Cox. A.
,lnong the party we have Ken's girl,
Betty Sherman, whom he has told
that he was in Europe This part
is taken by Nina Griffith, who, when
she finds out that one of the two
stolid Indians is Ken just about
cleans up ON Bill, and can sine get
mad! The rest of the party of
young people consists of Allan, the
brother of Betty and the one in love
with Phyllis; these parts being we'll
taken by Bob Griffitlls and Betty
Austin. My! But they could get SO
loving that it nearly drove the rest
of them crazy. OF course, every
play has to have a character who is
SO dumb that nobody gives them
credit for anything, and this part
was taken by girl who did herself
proud. It was Lorena. Slavens. The
other girl of the group was the
match for Bill LOOMS and some
times she got the best of him, es-
pecially when she ate his egg for
breakfast. But when Nancy Ell

Betty Sherman tried without sue
cess to make love to the two dumb
Indians (Ralph and TOMB the whole
crowd was very much amazed that
the Indians didn't burst into laugh
ter as they did.
