Student-Wide
Interest To Stage
'SOUTH PACIFIC'
Contrary to common misconcep
tion, South Pacific is not another
Junior Class play.
First of all this play is being
presented by Playmasters, chorus,
and the orchestra.
Much money and time have been
spent on this production, and it
will no doubt prove to be an
elaborate affair.
South Pacific is scheduled to
run from Uovember 29 through
December 1.
The play will start at 8:00
and should last no later than
11:00.
Cost will be one dollar for
.students and two dollars for
adults.
Two pairs of tickets will be
given, away free in a drawing

students picked at random from
