The closing number was a play, allegorical in forw, entitled " The Senior, " with Alex Hidebrandt in the title roll. The plot of the piece is sim ilar to the stage play " Hveryman " wherein a great many of the senior‘s old time friends notably fraternity, sorority, athletics, bluff ete,, do not stand beside him in his hour of trouble while characters like good graces do, The plot was splendidly worked out and the impersonating students disâ€" played unusual ability.

At this time last year, there were no signs of losing the Model School, yet because accommoâ€" dation was not proyided the Mode] was lost, â€" The same situation is before the rate payers toâ€"day and a defeated byâ€"law will force the 90 or more stuâ€" dents now enrolled to seek a higher education in other places. "Mr. Hartlcy clearly showed that with increased Government and County grants plus the present fees of the students, the town‘s increased indebtedness would only amount to $300 a year. _ Yet some rate payers would sacrifice our leading institution for the sake of 3300| a year.
