THE STORY “The Po r Nut is a most entertaining comedy of college life. It is a story of abundant youth, based in a most amusing way on the “Inferiority Complex” of John Miller. John Miller is a bashful student at Ohio State who feels that noth- ing he attempts can he successful. He has attempted t give expression to a suppressed desire by striking up a “blind” correspondence with Julia Winters, beauty contest winner at Wisconsin, whose picture he has seen in the papers. Julia comes to Columbus, Ohio to find John, analyzes his inferior complex, and en- courages him to become most “dangerously” bold. John, who is somewhat of an athlete, is put into the relay race of the Ohio- Wisconsin meet. He is responsible for winning the event and. with this, the meet for Ohio. John now rises above himself and really becomes somebody. He becomes a fraternity man, wins his ‘ lady love”, and is really surprised t learn what talents he actually ]x)ssesses. The play portrays many incidents typical of college life such as college songs, enthusiasm for athletics, and fraternity life. The cast includes all the types of p ople one might expect to find on a college campus. The play was produced by special permission of Samuel French, New York. SENIOR CLASS SONG Now comes May with fragrance and with beauty With tender green and wealth of budded sprays, But, oh, it tells us high scho 1 days are over And whispers low the parting of our ways. The years we’ve spent in old Hudson High School— Nor time nor change shall make their memory fade. Here we have worked and builded f r the future. With eager hands, a sure foundation we have laid. ( 'll, Hope is fair! and golden years are calling But deeji within our hearts dwell memories, Dear high school days we spent in old Hudson Oft will return bourne on the spring-time breeze. And when the night has shed her tend r mantle. Oh, then in dreams come classmates loved f yore And smiles for gav days, tears for the shadows. Bring us the treasures that live for evermore.
