The plan was approved by the School Board. and so far it has proved a fair success. The annual assembly play is now rapidly taking form under the able coaching of Mrs. Hatch of the English Department. Mrs. Hatch did much to turn out a wonderful production last year, and we expect that with the cast she has, many of whom have acted before, another will be forth- coming this spring. It will be played at the Star Theater. The cast is as follows: Peggxe ................ Remorse ........ jimmy ........ Tubby ............ Leo ...................... Mrs. Connelly ......
