Dramatics On the evening of December 19 the all- school play, A Full I-louse, was successfully presented on an improvised stage in the high school gymnasium. lt was a farcical three-act comedy by the Well-known writer, Fred Jack- son, and was full of screamingly funny situa- tions from beginning to end. The plot centered around Ned Pembroke, a reckless and wealthy youth who wrote ardent love letters, George Howell, an attorney brother-in-laxv, who stole them and who had the misfortune of getting his hand bag mixed up with the grip belonging to King, the burg- lar, who had just stolen a valuable necklace from the mother of the indiscreet youth, and around the ellorts of the crook to recover his plunder.

lQTwenty Much credit is due Miss Carr, who, by her excellent coaching, made the play a success. Mr. Miller also deserves honorable mention, for, without his willingness and untiring efforts, the play woud never have been presented. The Farm Mechanics Class, under his supervision, constructed a sectional stage with complete equipment for the presentation of this farce. lNindmills of Holland, a clever two-act musical comedy, was next pre- sented under the auspices of the Girls' Glee Club on the evening of May 2. This clever little piece was sparkling with wit and humor and contained thc merriest of tunes. The plot centered around the ups and downs in the life of a wealthy Hol- land farmer and his family. Hilda, one of the flirty Hertogenbosch daughters, had a quarrel with her lover, Franz, who was the son of a rich farmer. Hans, who courted VVilhelmina Hertogenbosch, finding him in this unhappy mood, advised him to court Katrina, the daughter of another wealthy farmer. Franz followed his suggestion and obtained very satisfying results. But Hans also had trouble with VVilhelmina. She became discontented with her simple life and now dreamed of being a court lady at the same time turning down poor Hans. About this time Bob Yankee, an American salesman, reached Holland and endeavored to persuade the Hollanders to abandon their windmills and install electricity in their stead. Mynheer Hertogenbosch, the comical old Dutch farmer, finally agreed to the American's plan. If it were not for Vrouw Her- togenbosch, his wife, who took matters into her own hands and settled them, trouble would have resulted. As it was, the daughter's quarrels were settled and all matters ended happily for everyone save Bob Yankee, the New Eng- land salesman. The work-hands and the entire Hertogenbosch family were again united and refused to part with their beloved VVindmills of Holland. The main cast for this comedy was under the supervision of Mr. Billeci, while the dances were under that of Helen Small. Much of the success is due to the combined efforts of these two.
