DRAMATICS

"ADAM AND EVA"

     "Adam and Eva" is the name of the class play chosen by the Seniors this year. It is a comedy in three acts. It is a bright and amusing play on the American business man who has a genius for making money, but not a trace of talent for managing his own family. The story of a wealthy man, his extravagant family clinging dependently upon him, and apparently regarding him as bothersome except when he poises his pen above the checkbook. These relatives even arrange with his physician to have him go on a long trip, so that they may run up mills more freely. In comes the father's young business manager, who tells his employer how he would love a home. At this the father suggests that they change places for awhile; this they do. The young man soon finds himself confronted with bills for all sorts of ladies wearing apparel. In order to stop some of these bills he tells the family that their father's large rubber plant has failed, and they believe him. In diverse and humorous manners they meet the emergency. Of course it does them all good and brings out the best in them.
     The cast has been chosen, but it stands subject to change, if Miss Rannels, our coach and sponser, sees fit.

THE CAST

"THE DEACON'S SECOND WIFE"

     This play was given by a picked cast from members of the athletic association earlier in the year. It was well given and showed very plainly the efforts of Superintendent Byrum, the coach. Each character was well chosen for his part and all did their best to make the play the success that it was. The proceeds went for basketball equipment for both teams.

THE CAST

"THE PRINCESS CHRYSANTHEMUM"

     "The Princess Chrysanthemum" was the operetta chosen to be given by the glee clubs this year. It is a tale of Japanese royalty. The princess is being courted by two princes. Both must win the favor of her royal Pa, who has a tendency to cut off the heads of all loyal subjects who fail to comply with his wishes. After a good many difficulties, in which many threats are made by his Royal Highness, everything ends happily, and great merrymaking is held in honor of the coining of age and wedding of the princess. Miss Wright is especially to be complimented with the success of this operetta, considering the inexperience of most of those participating.

"A POOR MARRIED MAN"

This was the play given by the juniors this year. It was a comedy with plenty of laughable situations and excellent dialogue.
