School liaising Funds to lie-
iray Reception Expenses at
Close of Studies
A v'ell deserved and earned success
was won last evening by the members
of the graduating class of the Norwuili
High School at their entertainment
and dance at Lockwood's Hall. The
function was given to raise funds for
the annual class reception and added
a good sized sum to the treasury.
A one-act comedy entitled "A
Scheme 'l'iiat Failed" was the principal
feature of the entertainment mogram
and was so cleverly enacted that it
brought forth tumultuous applause
from the large audience, which was an
appreciative one. The play furnished
a number of dramatic sitlibilons that
were well carried out and was so well
given that it Was apparent to all that
much thought and work had been plac-
ed on its preparation.
The cast was composed entirely of
members of the graduating class. The
dramatis personae:
Paul Jennings. a young New
- Yorkeri" ............ Francis Word
Victor Craven. a young man .....
.............. .Thomas Kelly
Edith Jennings. Paul's wife ......
Miss Julie Smith
Fanny Jennings. Paul’s sister
....... .Miss Ruth R. Danton
Mrs. Craven. Victor's mother..
......... Miss Charlotte li‘rauito
bridged servant of the Jenninss'
...................Mills0iiveGray
The scene was laid in the Jennings
residence and the plot evolved around
the attempt of Penny Jennings (Miss
Danton) to act as waitlnx maid tem
