One more year had slipped behind us. when we all began to mind us. That our Junior sehool days we soon would longer know no more; So by awful horror haunted, yet with courage all undaunted. Sat us down to exams, wanted—wanted so they'd soon be o’er. Then vacation being ended, hurried hack for one year more Now we all are Senior haughty, e'er forgetting Jill things naughty. For laugh we not at Rex In ehem. or tease the Freshmen more. All enjoyed the Junior party, we return them thanks most hearty. For not one of us were tardy, the next morn as oft before.

Several witches gathered about, a cauldron. mysteriously chanting their dirge: I Collide, double, toil and trouble, Kin Imrn and cauldron bubble. ’ There is a mighty bubbling, and I see before me a city street. There is a familiar look about the person of the dog-eateher. He is eoniing closer. Who is he? Now, I know, he is my old friend, Hex. And the policeman pacing his beat; oh. In is Charles Norine. A pop corn vender on tin corner and a dago yelling his shrill, “sella-da-banan are also familiar. Why, they are (lien and Arthur. Around the corner conics a professional “weary willie, a member of the “Idler’s Club,” his name is Clin. And tin Salvation Army lass walking side by side with tin woman sutVragist is Itowena. Her friend is Winifred. The tire dies down and I again become conscious of the dirge, “Double, double, toil and trouble; Fire burn and cauldron bubble.” There is a mighty bubbling and 1 see the interior of a theater. Tin play is by “The Married Kachelc.r Comedy Company,” and the matinee idol is ho other than Stuart; the prima donna, Signo-riua Carazzio, is Miss Seovill of my school days, and among the chorus of the “(iirls of Coo-Coo 1 recognize Edna, Canzada and Mabel. I also again become acquainted with my old friends, the Webster Sisters.

The Senior Play LL INDICATIONS promise to make the play, to be given by tin Senior Class of ‘OP, the most successful one ever produced in Grand .1 unction. The cast is well chosen and the talent of each seems well adapted. Everyone manifests great enthusiasm over the outlook and all are working with a vim. “The College Widow” is one of George Ado's most successful comedies and lias scored several eventful seasons, being considered a play that can enliven anyone who is not otherwise inclined humorously. It is primarily a play which shows the College Spirit of today. Modern athletics, college stunts and sparkling stage pictures make “The College Willow the most popular of Ado's works. The play will probably lie given two nights, May 24-25. This is done in order to accommodate the large number of patrons who in years past have not b« en able to secure seats. The work was commend'd under the direct-ion of Miss Lindley, whose ability in this line is well known. Hut as her duties began to press she found that she would not be able to keep on with the work and she was forced to resign, much to the sorrow of tin clas . gestions and her work was appreciated by the class. She was succeeded by Mr. Arthur Wake, an elocutionist of marked ability and experience. .Mr. Wake lias worked hard with tin cast and a great success is predicted. The class have found Mr. Wake nice to work under and his work has proven very satisfactory.
