Too much praise cannot be given Mrs. Carlisle Logan-Jones for her charming interpretation of Kathleen, the delightful little Irish girl. Kath leen nossessed just enough brogue to make the character most fascinating and winsome. As Moonyeen, Mrs. Carlisle Logan-Jones was as delight ful as in the characterization of Kathleen. Harte Jenks, playing a dual role as Kenneth Wayne and his father, had, perhaps, the parts for which he is best suited. The scene of the re pected lover and Kathleen in the garden the night of the wedding, could not have been improved upon. The scenery and the lighting ef fects are deserving of much praise. Although the back-stage scenery was on one flat surface, the perspective gave the impression of distance and UuAn. Even the roof of the cot tage, which the audience thought was built on a slope, was painted on one flt. -anx-ass. The gradual cnange from bright sunlight to twilight was CLASS OFFICES MAY GO BEGGING Only Four Contestants in Race Is Announcement of Stu dent Council.

ANNOUNCE REDUCTION IN CORNHUSKER PRICE Increased Subscription List and Lower Contract Rates Make Rebate Possible. YEARBOOK SALES LARGE A refund of 50 cents on the sale price of the 1924 Cornhusker was announced by the business staff of the yearbook Saturday afternoon. This reduction in price of the annual was made possible by the large sub scription and lower rates on the con tract work. This rebate affects all purchasers who have reserved their books or who will have dpne so by April 1, at which time the order will be placed with the printers. The business office of the Cornhusker is open each after noon from 1 to 6 o'clock to receive subscriptions. Sales of the "The Cornhusker of Progress," according to business man ager, David G.
