U'figb School plav I IK principal offering of the High School I Mayers was “Lucky 1 .” a roaring farce of modern business life, presented blaster Monday night, April 18. All of the cast deserve much credit for their work in this production. It may be said without boasting that this play will be held up as a criterion of what a good high school should be. In the play. Cyrus Martin plans to get his flighty son Rodney into business. Grayson, who is in league with the father, enters a business partnership with Rodney and his friend Ambrose Reale. They are quickly beset by the many pit-falls of the modern business life. The Count de Heaurien. a wolf in sheep’s clothing,’’ nearly trims the three out of house and business. Meanwhile Cyrus Martin visits them at the office, where he sees Ellery Clark, the son of an old soap rival, and decides to buy the business. In the absence of Reale and Rodney, Grayson unfortunately informs Rodney’s father that the firm is bankrupt. Martin is disgusted, but finally shows some of his old regard for youth when Peale intervenes and stops the Count in the act of blackmailing Martin for $1' ),000. Then Grayson makes a deal with the old man, Rodney and Reale appear, and the play is concluded with Cyrus Martin decidedly contented over the outcome. CAST OF CHARACTERS Arthur Grayson William 1 .
