The senior class of the high school has unanimously decided to put on a modern production for their annual play, to be presented in the auditorium ! the week of the graduating exercises. ; At a joint meeting held today it was j decided not to attempt producing a ! Shakespearean or Irish play as many high schools are planning, but instead to put on something that all can appreciate. Some of the members claim that if classic productions were given it would necessitate .going to a great expense in buying costumes and renting scenery. Miss Klizabeth Comstock has been chosen to coach, and just as soon as possible the play will be selected and try-outs begun. The class has many ' members who are able to take part , in such amateur productions as were ! i evidenced in the mid-year play several ; w eeks ago. : Contrary to custom. Principal Pick- , ell wants to give two performances in order to clear more money than the class has heretofore realized. U is his desire to give a matinee as well as an evening performance. One-third more money can be realized with two i productions, he says.
