At a meeting of the Mask club last week, students in terested in the school play began making plans for this year's play.

This plan would give more stu dents a chance to participate as actors. Prospective mem bers of the cast have already chosen several possibilities as plays, one of which is "Don't Tell a Soul." The plays will be staged late in April. The biology class, under the supervision of Don Mitch ell, has been collecting bugs to bisect them and study the internal organs. Worms and grasshoppers have been the chief specimens used. The grasshoppers are large and therefore make ex cellent specimens for operation.
