Wolfskill, presented a three-act comedy by Bret Harte, entitled M'Liss fMy Western Missl. Everyone enjoyed Mina Farrell as M'Liss, the barefooted Western girl, who wasn't eddicated. But M'Liss Won the hand of the school teacher, Mr. Gray, played by Walt Greiner. lrvin Lownes was her father, George 'lBummer Smith, the lazy westerner who had hope of finding gold in one of his mines someday. The part of Mrs. Lena Moffits, the noisy, old woman, who owned the Roarin Dog Hotel, Was played by Louise Robins. Mary Cyrus portrayed the role of her daughter, Clytee Moffit, who lost out in the triangle love affair. The sly city couple who planned the murder of Bummer in order to gain the fortune left to him was played by Doris I. Thompson, as Clara Hunting, and Ed Costello, as Carter Langdon. We will never forget Doris Dilks, as Bess Starlight, a dazzling actress who played havoc With the heart of Yuba Bill, Bill Berry, a comic cowboy. Iohn Paravaty added to the Western effect by playing his guitar. Al Durkee was extremely amusing as ludge McSnaggley who did everything l'accord'n' to the statoots! And so another senior play goes down in the minds of the students as a great success. -g5-
