“THE HOTTENTOT” The senior class play, “The Hottentot,” was presented in excellent fashion before a large audience, April 22. Sam Harrington, played by Philip James, was forced into a horse race by his sweetheart, Peggy Fairfax, portrayed by Dorothy Herbert. Sam, who formerly had been a fair rider, had had a bad fall, and s!nce then had been very afraid of horses. Larry Crawford, Edward Stibbe, was also suing for the hand of Peggy. He discovered from Carol Chadwick, played by Chariotta Thompson, that Sam was not the great rider he was thought to be. Jealous because Peggy had chosen Sam to ride in her colors, Larry resolved that Sam shou'd disgrace himself by failing to ride. Sam promised to ride Peggy’s horse, “Bountiful.” Swift, Patrick Lahey, the butler, hid “Bountiful,” thinking that by doing so he would save the life of Sam. The horse was discovered just before the race, but was unable to be ridden. In spite of the warnings of Perkins the groom, portrayed by Richard Bell; and those of Swift, Harrington decided to ride the “Hottentot.” He bought this horse from Alec Fairfax, Charles Baumgarten, and presented it to Peggy. He rode the “Hottentot” to victory, and won both the cup and a bride. Genevieve Carver as May Gilford, and Harold Wilson as Ollie Gilford, acted as hosts of the guests at the house-party. William Richter as McKesson, and Clarence DeVaux as Reggie Townsend, portrayed those characters well. The play, coached by Miss Goldie Shepherd, was pronounced one of the best ever produced by a class of Michigan City High School.
