IUNIOR-SENIOR PLAY The junior and Senior Classes put on their play, HThe Antics of Andrew , April llth. The setting for the play was the combined dining and living room in the first floor apart- ment of Andrew Browne, near the Cameron College Campus. Living with Andrew in his famcy apartment are Willie Waldo and Harold Hadley, his pals. Andrew's Uncle Isaac from New Zealand gave Andrew fifty dollars a month to go to college and told him that if he married it would be advanced to one hundred dollars. Andrew wrote Uncle Isaac that he married and that his mother-in-law had come to live with him, so the allowance was increased to one hundred and fifty dollars a month. The peak of excitement was reached when a telegram arrived saying that Uncle Isaac was in town and that he would be at the apartment in fifteen minutes, As Willie and Harold were dressed as girls for a college play to be held the next night, Andrew had them act as his wife and mother-in-law. There were many hilarious times when the boys slipped out of character. In the end Uncle Isaac say the boys' disguise but he overlooked the deception because Andrew planned to marry Althea Thorne soon. . L. Burton Grosfield

CLASS PROPI-IE CY Iust before we seniors got our pardons from the parole board, better known as the board of education, we dropped in at Ye Olde English Room to learn of the future from Madame Heffelfinger. As Mme. Heffelfinger gazed in her crystal ball the first to appear in her vision was a bowlegged man with a handle-bar mustache, sporting a loud shirt and towering sombrero, leather chaps and boots. She saw him tacking a sign on the corral fence which said '5Tourist Accommodations at El Grande Rancho of Vera Cruz, Mexico . After peering long in her crystal ball she suddenly exclaimed, i'lt's Donovan Johnson . After this alarming vision had passes she meditated un- til the vision of another of our classmates appeared. Her vision carried up beyond the blue Atlantic and finally stopped at the quaint German town of Freiburg. Here her attention focused on a middle? aged lady, with horn-rimmed glasses, walking toward her homei She carried several school books. As sheentered her modest little apartment we noticed a sign plate bearning the name Frau D. Irene. Krautz, Private Tutor. We assumed that must be Delores Ross- Gazing back to America, Mme. Heffelfinger settled her eyes on an office in New York City. Sitting behind the desk in an over- stuffed chair was a dapper young man in a blue pin striped suit, hair all slicked down, and feet on his desk. She did not recognize the young man because he was wearing glasses 5 also, he had a big smile. Her eyes were dazzled by the big diamond tie' pin and ring he occas- ionally flashed in frorrt of her eyes. As the picture startedto fade away, the words on the office door were barely visible, HZip and Zim. with Zimmerman's Vitamin Pills.. Dale Zimmerman, President. She next saw field after field as the crystal ball traveled through space to the other coast. There it flickered as if in agony. Finally the picture cleared and we saw an orchestra playing away as if that were the only thing in the world to do. Leading this orchest- ra was a middle-aged man with a plump torso, wearing tuxedo and gaiters. He had an ivory baton with which he directed. Also there was a wave in his hair, but somewhat mussed from the exertions of dire'ct- ing. We wondered if this could be one of our seniors because on the music racks was painted 'SPidge Polosky . We finally decided that the director must be Marvin Kale, because-hisnickname in school was Pidge .
