"HEROD" PRESENTED AT ENGLERT JUNE 4
Dramatic Class Will Give Last Play of Year with Elaborately Costumed Cast
Placards and posters on the campus announces the coming of "Herod" the educational dramatics class's last play of the year to be given at the Englert theater Wednesday, June 4. Tickets are now on sale on the campus and at Whetstone's for fifty cents.
According to Miss Emma Dumke of the public speaking department, "Herod" is the most pretentious production attempted by any dramatic group in the University this year.
About thirty people will make up the cast. The elaborate costumes necessary to reproduce the splendid court of Herod, King of Judea, will be brought from Chicago.
"Herod," written by Stephen Phillips the English poet-dramatist, was first produced at Her Majesty's theater, London, in 1900. Since its success there it has been the vehicle for many stars of the stage including William Faversham and Sir Beerbohm Tree.
The difficult role of Herod, King of Judea, will be played by Charles V. Brown of the University Players. Opposite him Martha Darrah will take the part of Marianne the Queen. Eleanor Talley will appear as Salome, sister of Herod; Harriett Franker will play the part of Cypros.
The entire cast will be announced at a later date.

SILENT READING EMPHASISES THOUGHT
Who would think that children in the first grade of the elementary school know all about the Hawkner trip across the ocean? They do though, and moreover all about the compensation he was to receive, provided he was successful, in his trans-Atlantic voyage.
Miss Emma Watkins, teacher of this grade said that their silent reading was based on live topics such as the airplane hydroplanes, and modern inventions. They also learn little social customs, through this silent reading. The map of the Hawker voyage is drawn on the board and they are able to trace the journey as well as their parents and they display much interest in following the trip of NC-4 to Lisbon.
Dr. Ernst Horn, director of the elementary school, says that the whole problem of the work in the first grade is to street the ability of the child to get the information quickly and accurately rather than to develop mere parrot pronunciation. They dwell continually on getting information correctly, and this developed will bring about speed reading.

NOTICE—BASEBALL TODAY
The Indiana-Iowa baseball game tomorrow is scheduled for 4 o'clock, but will not be played until after the University Memorial exercises should the program last later than that time.

JUNIOR WOMEN WIN GAME
Defeat Seniors By 16 to 14 Score in Indoor Baseball
Good team work on the part of the junior women's indoor baseball nine coupled with the repeated fumbles of their opponents, caused the juniors to beat the seniors in the game played Tuesday evening at the women's gymnasium by a score of 16 to 14.
Agnes Dawson, senior captain, allowed only one base on balls, while Anne Thomsen, junior captain, showed good reach in catching flys.
At the end of the first inning, the score stood 3 to 2 for the seniors. By the close of the second, the count had mounted to 10 to 9 in favor of the juniors.
With the score at 16 to 14 for the juniors in the last inning and the seniors up with two outs, Agnes Dawson, tipped the dish for her team by allowing the junior catcher, Esther Graves, to catch her with the ball while she was trying to slip home.
Six last year's players were on the senior team, but four of them had failed to come out to practise. With two of their players, Adele Kimm and Esther Graves, unable to play because of a conflict with their classes in aesthetic dancing, the juniors put in substitutes and saved the day for their team. Esther Graves succeeded in getting down for one inning.
Jeanne Lees, coach, umpired the game.
