The work of Hillary VVinter was especially comniendable while Charles Ghnnp and Alfred VVMSSP1' d11n1o11strated that they were acq1'1iri11g the dramatic sense. By far the greatest acco111p1is11111e11t of the year, however, was 11118 Senior Play. HS6VCl1tCC1l,H by Booth Tarlciiigtou, was selected and after careful tryouts the east was chosen.

For tl1e first time in the history of the school a high school a11dit11ri111r1 was engaged in which to present our play. A spirited ticket selling ca111paig11 resulted in the sale of over three thousand tickets, and Bennett High School aliditoriuin was filled to the doors. The 1'l1H.D1,ll10t11 crowd was well repaid for its loyal support. The cast of HSeve11t11en,'1 1JG1'fO1'HlQC'i in a. way that was close to professional.
