HIGH SCHOOL PUPILS TO GIVE MUSICAL COMEDY. Friday night, March 17, is the date set for the initial presentation of "Savageland," a light .musical comedy to be given by the local high school pupils. The play is a scream from start to finish, and judging from the hustling attitude of all those concerned, nothing Will be left undone to make the play a success, both from the viewpoint of the audience and that of the treasurer". The play will be staged under the personal direction of Miss Lucrissa Hughes, the high school musical director, whose absolute competency is well recognized.
