Delia Woodhull The Seniors, and also the Juniors, and Sophomores who so willingly and ably assisted them, deserve high praise for the way in which they presented the Senior Play. It was a pronounced success both from a dramatic and a financial standpoint. It was presented three times; on April fourth and fifth at the Hemlock town hall, and on April nine- teenth at the Freeland Hall. About one hundred twenty five dollars was taken in at these three performances. Part of the money went to meet the graduation expenses of the Seniors and the remainder helped to finance the annual. The plot of the play centers around the love affair of Cariotta Bannister and Tom Dexter, of whom her stylish aunt Mrs. Bannister dis- approves. She desires Cariotta to marry Sidney Everett, a New York society man. Cariotta is x-escued from this fate by Tom assisted by Fred- eric Bannister, who proves to be Carlotta’s father. Much humor is introduced by Mrs. Muslin and Hezekiah Hopkins who marry and go to New York on their “Weddin’ tower”. Nathan Speck, the hired man, also has his troubles in winning the hired girl, Bella Ann. Delia Woodhull took a small part in the play but contributed much to its success by taking full charge of the specialties given between acts. These were unusually good. The musical part was given by Ruth Margaret Beaver, Gertrude Thomas, Kenneth Foye, and Mr. Clark. Pauline Kline and Clara Hingston entertained with readings. Gladys McBratnie and Myrtle Smith made very clever clowns. R. DOCKHAM. We feel that the success of our play was greatly due to the efforts of Miss Dockham who proved a very able coach.
