breasted the finish a few feet ahead
of Frazier, the Baylor lead-off man,

Rice for the lead in the second lap.
The gulf separating the A. and M.’s
participants and the other runners
began to be counted in yards when
Captain Weir took up the race next
to the last lay and when Sammie in
creased it in the final quarter, Mc-
Natt’s supreme efforts and Dowell’s
sprint at the start, were in vain, for

The annual Senior play, the first
evening feature of this year’s com
mencement program, will be presented
by the Class of 1921 tonight at 9 p.m.
in Guion Hall.
Every effort has been put forth to
make the play a success and the prog
ress so far made indicates that it will
excell all former productions. Those
remembering past offerings such as
“The Fortune Hunter,” “Strongheart”,
and others, this statement carries a
deal of meaning.
Elaborate settings under the expert
supervision of graduates of our tech
nical departments, experienced actors
and the able direction and coaching of
Mr. R. D. Brackett, have produced a
play unsurpassed under the traditions
of the College.
A number of years ago the Senior
Class began the production of and an
nual play with the idea of adding to
the variety of the commencement pro
gram, and also for the purpose of en
couraging the entertaining features of
the College. That started the Public
Speaking Society and since then a
number of plays have been staged
throughout the year, with the Senior
play excelled the previous ones and
play exceled the previous ones and
thus the Senior Class has set the pace
for dramatic work at the College.
Each year the attendance has grown
until last year the then limited ca
pacity of Guion Hall was taxed to the
utmost.
The cast this year boasts of some of
the best talent that has ever been
shown at the College. Mrs. Tyler
Haswell as Mrs. Bennett, mother of
the young mayor is among the lead
ing ladies. Mrs. Haswell’s former
dramatic experience assures superb
rendition of the role. Miss Nova
Lovell, whose wide experience on the
College stage has won her a lasting
place in the hearts and affections of
her audiences, will play the part of
Dallas Wainwright. Miss Lovell is an
actress of surpassing charms, and her
rare talent will easily enable her to
play the lead. Cynthia Garrison, by
the popular Mrs. Frances Allen Mil
ner who plays the part of the dash
ing sportswoman, with irfesistable
piquency.
The title role is played by W. T.
Strange, whose exceptional tbility was
displayed in his famous role as Wil
son the picture expert in “Officer
666.” The character of Hurringan,
the big political boss, is abely por
trayed by Jonnie A. Pierce, P. N.
Vinther, who starred in the Dramatic
Club’c success “Nothing But the
Truth”, will play as Scott. H. Gibbs,
the Wall Street Broker. Dykes,
one of the cleverest actors
on the Campus, will interpret
the part of Judge Newman. Perry
Carter Wainwright, the part in
which Douglas Fairbanks played his
way to fame, will be played by C. D.
Whitman. James Phelan, boss in the
Eighth Ward, a good-natured Irish
man, with a heart that enjoys pick-
nics and fights alike, is delightfully
interpreted by Forest E. Buie.
Four acts of a fascinating plot. A
story of Politics and graft; of love,
honesty, and public service, and a
theme imminently suited for the com
mencement season.
Beautiful settings, electrical effects
and artistic arrangement produce an
appreciated and pleasing atmosphere.
For a tale of intrigue, corruption,
and triumphant square dealing that
will prove a lasting effect to those
that have the opportunity of going.
Old boys are back on the Campus
eagerly looking forward to an event
already surrounded by cherished mem
ories of former Senior Plays.
