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.

She is quite solitary; but is not solitude a teacher? And has it not taught her much of which she did not know before—of qtiiet cheerfulness and dear unselfishness; of a life poor in earthly goods, but rich in thought, and deed? She 1ms long since grown accustomed to the “corns on the ear.’’ And is there not a savor of tin wind that she sends to me? What! She has disappeared, leaving me alone with the burned out cauldron and the empty cave. And can it be the savor that sin brought is only the wind and the monotone of the rain on the lonely heath?

It might, be sai l that the La Court hotel has never sheltered a more conspicuous group of young |H ople. The costumes were unique and not carried to the extremes, but as every person has certain characteristics different from those of others, it is difficult to remodel the gifts of nature, such as feet, and thus many of the mysterious characters gave themselves away. So the story goes. At last, after a long suffering, in which many perspired freely, the masques were removed and the door leading into tin banquet room was opened, and before the eyes of the guests were tables, l eautifully decorated with cut dowers and the walls decked with red hearts, in honor of St. Valentine. Owing to the rush for places at the tables, there were several mix-ups and several young men and their respective lassies got separated.
