C. H. S. THE CANTONIAN I I I I I I DRAMATICS HIS year, 1917-'18, marks a revival of dramatics in Canton High. Since 1914 no Boys' Burlesques have been given before the general public until this year when the Senior boys gave a Burlesque on Uncle Tom's Cabin. That such a bur- lesque is appreciated was evidenced by the crowds that witnessed the two perform- ances necessary to accommodate all who wished to see this production. Last year the Juniors and Seniors gave four one-act comedies instead of each class putting on a play separately. These one-act plays are enjoyable and afford more students the opportunity of appearing before an audience. However, the Jun- iors presented the one-act plays this year, alone, and are to be congratulated on tho excellent manner in which they handled the work. At the time of this writing the Seniors are working on their play, The hlan of the Hour, which will be given on Monday evening, the twenty-second of April, at the Princess theatre. Realizing the value of dramaties in High School too much cannot be said in favor of such work for students. It gives the pupil better poise, grace, self-conH- dence, and brings him in touch with the better dramatic literature, thus giving him a greater interest in the higher and better form of amusement. Mr. Ethan A. Snively, who for the past two years has had charge of the coach- ing of all dramatic productions in the High School, is at this time expecting to be called to the colors. The entire school will feel the loss of Mr. Snively very greatly and it will be very difhcult to get anyone capable of taking charge of dramatics and declamation in thc way Mr. Snively has been accustomed. 4'w WF?
