CLASS PLAY A ROLLICKING comedy, “The Torch-Bearers,” was presented by the senior class on Friday evening, January 15. The play consisted of three acts of hilarious comedy. The plot is centered about an amateur performance under the direction of the pompous, overbearing director, Mrs. Pampinclli. Much of the success of the play was due to the untiring work of Miss Miriam Reinhart, director. CAST Mr. Frederick Ritter . . . Jamb Merrill Mr. Huxley I losscfros.se .
