Seniors Get Spring Fever in Senior Play Mixing the very atmosphere in which they were in with the enter- tainment angle in view, the seniors, presented their annual Senior Play, Thursday and Friday, May 4 and 5, entitled Spring Fever. This three act play was written by Glenn Hughes. The force depicts the uproar in a college boarding house on the day before commencement. Much of the action in it approaches old fashioned slapstick antics. The story is woven around the last-minute troubles of the boys in the rooming house. .0 Below-Back row: C.
