 Girls Sextet To the opening strains of their theme song, Our Boys Will Shine, the Boys' Octet launched their musical career early this year at the Thanksgiving Program. Following up their success, the worthy eight, Bonauto, B. Boley, Fear, Molnar, N. Boley, Petzen, Monastra, and that low, low bass, Bally, redeemed themselves at the Senior Variety Show. Because of insistent demands but little time, they were obliged to split up and Monastra, Petzen, Boley and Fear formed a quartet, performing worthily at the Spring Concert. Boys Octet Those at the Thanksgiving Program, Variety Show and Spring Concert will recall the splendid performance of the Girls' Sextet.

 Patience, as Gilbert planned, was to be a satire of the trends in poetry of the day. The targets of ridicule were the two leading movements attracting wide attention at the time, the Pre-Raphaelites led by Swinburne and the esthetic movement as championed by Oscar Wilde. The leading male characters, Bunthorne and Grosvenor, demonstrate great fanaticism and flamboyancy, symbolizing Wilde and Swinburne. The first scene of the operetta was at the entrance of Bunthorne's or William Bolcy's castle. A bevy of young maidens, led by Margaret Cathro, Mary Luft, and Dorris Brown were singing a love-sick ditty. They were in despair over the fact that Billy remained totally oblivious to their amorous feelings for him. Lady Jane, played by Faith Alloway, told the ladies that Billy was now in love with Patience, a naive dairy-maid. Leota Makuen as Patience entered and gazed with pity at the lovesick maidens. Leota, never having been in love her-sell, doubted the desirability of it. The Thirty-fifth Dragoon Guards entered, led by Charles Cocks, Peter Harle, Ronald Fear and Theodore Tobias. The maidens were too preoccupied watching Billy in the agony of poetic composition to notice the dragoons. Billy played up to Leota, the naive dairy-maid, but she was unresponsive to him. Leota was convinced by the scheming maidens that love is a duty and must be unselfish. She then decided to fall in love with the next man she met who was Grosvenor, an idyllic poet played by Jimmy Petzen. Billy Bunthorne Boley announced that he intended to rafile himself off. Leota dashed on stage to say that she would be Bunthorne's bride, because she wanted to be unselfish and sacrifice herself. The rival poets were by this time mutually consumed with jealousy. Grosvenor agreed to change his character and become a commonplace young man. Patience finally turns to Grosvenor, Lady Jane took an officer and all others paired up, while Bunthorne was left to live and die a bachelor. 32
