TH E MOUSE TR A P
A t 6:45 in th e evening we again listened to an e n ­
joyable concert by th e band, at th e close of w hich
all repaired to the au d ito riu m to a tten d the play given
by th e sen io rs—th e class play.
W ho, h av in g once seen it and heard it, can fo rg e t
“ T h e M ouse T r a p ,” for it was a scream front sta rt to
finish? T h e crow d was la rg e —in fact th e cap acity of
th e au d ito riu m was ta x e d . E v e ry th in g m oved along
as sm oothly as th o u g h th e players w ere v eteran s—
th e re w ere no d istressin g w aits or h itches any w here or
at any tim e. T hose who atten d e d should have been
im pressed w ith th e dire possibilities of the “ id e a ” of
a m ouse.
T h e p resen tatio n was u n d er th e d irectio n of M rs.
R isser and Miss W h ite. T h ese ladies have cause to
feel p ro u d of th e ir success in th is in stan ce, for “ T h e
M ouse T r a p ” was a success— a real one. I t provided
an evening of p ure en jo y m en t for all. A t th e close
of th e play th e re w ere a couple of songs given by th e
class an d th e evening closed w ith a fine tableau based
on the S ta r S pangled B an n er.
