CLARENCE Clarence, the lirst senior class play given by South Side High School. was presented at the Majestic Theatre on Friday, April 13, before a capacity house. The complete success of the play, in spite of the alleged unlucky date, can best be told by quoting from the dramatic critic of the News-Sentinel: A new standard for high school theatricals was established when the senior high school class of the South Side High School presented 'Clarence' at the Majestic theater, and it can be truthfully said that it was the best senior high school play ever given in Fort Wayne. It will be an exceedingly meritorious senior play that excels the 1923 South Side High seniors' class presentation of 'Clarence '. The complete cast is as follows: Mrs. Martyn . . . . . . Evelyn Lewis Mr. XVheeler , , Paul Rothert Nlrs. XYheeler . ,Ruth XYagner Bobby XYheeler . , . . , Paul Hahn Cora XK'heeler .. . Edna Henderson Violet Finney . Helene Hoffman Clarence ,. Floyd Bergel llella . . . . Margaret Iler llinwiddie . , , . Harold Sells Hubert Stem , . .........,.,.....,.,,..r.,... Paul Oliver The cast was well selected and well drilled in a period of three weeks by Mr. Sheldon. He was assisted by the faculty advisors, Miss Pittenger and Mr. Null. The parts were well portrayed by the youthful thespians. Bugs Bergel played the pa1't of Clarence, the returned soldier, unusually well, gaining the applause of the audience for his representation of the physical, iinancial and amorous ditiiculties of the dough boy. Paul Hahn was the star of the play as Bobby '. He took the part, made his character live on the stage and brought the house down time and again with his droll actions and humorous sayings. Edna Henderson, who played opposite him as Cora, put pep and personality in her characterization of the Ilapper and shared honors with Paul. The business staii of the play deserves credit.
