GUPPY TURNS CRITIC - - Senior Class Play SPRING FEVER Ed Burns, a chemistry student, has turned his room into a laboratory, where he ex- periments with a substitute for dynamite. Vic Lewis, an art student, sets up his dais and easel in the living room. Howard Brant, a senior, types frantically at a term paper on zoology. He will be graduated the next day if he can get the paper in on time. Lou Herron, a journalism student, who likes Ed, Anne Purcell, Howard's "heart-interest," and Vivian George, Vic's girl, keep popping in and out. There are also Anne's parents, and Howard's aunt, and Professor Bean, of the Zoology Department, and Dr. Dixon, the "Prexy" to en- liven the day. And to say it's a lively day is putting it mildly. Vic and ,Ed mistake Mr. Purcell, Anne's millionaire father, for an erratic artist's model Vic is expecting. They find it necessary to gag him and tie him to a hatrack, after taking off most of his clothes, putting a smock on him, and intimidating him with a few explosions from Ed's laboratory. This starts something, for Mr. Purcell, finally released, de- parts in great fury and withdraws his offer to present a new science buildlng to the College. Howard's Aunt Maude, who has put him through college and who will give him a trip t dl 1 rns of his failure to pass his to Europe when he is graduated, arrives unexpec e y, ea . zoology course, and decides to do something about it.

The young people "put on an act"-and such an act!-to persuade Mr. Purcell lc duated. to give the science building on condition that Howard is ,allowed to e gra It works-in a big way! Aunt Maude's plan is successful, too, in more Ways than 01.0. Howard will get both his diploma and his girl. Junior Class Play "LlNDY LOU" ' T.
