Title
1918 Yearbook
Description
loyal friends of the college at least two good plays during the school year,
he private programs were numerous and at the same time beneficial to the
students in an educational way, as well as being sources of pleasant entertainment. But it is especially for the choice of plays and the skill with
which these plays were staged that the Society is deserving of encouragement and praise. Much of the success in the second line of endeavors
should be attributed to Mrs. L. B. Canterbury, who acted as coach in the
production of the dramas, and also to Rev. J. P. Stahl, whose name has long
been associated with every dramatic work of the institution. "It Pays to
Advertise," a popular modern comedy, was played in such a professional
manner that many requests were received for its repetition. A special invitation has been received from Oxford, Iowa, asking that the caste put on
this comedy in that town, and it is more than probable that the invitation
will be accepted in the near future. At present the attention and efforts of
the society are directed to the selection of a play for commencement week.
Various highly classed productions have been suggested, and if the characters at least equal their first efforts, the success of the second production
will be assured.
