Tlllfl TORCH 25 SENIOR PLAY On December 22, 1937, the Cla-as of '38 presented a three-act play entitled Spring Fever in the high school auditorium. An attentive audience was amused by the antics of the enthusiastic chemist, Milton Locke: the frantic Senior, John Smith: and an ambitious artist, lfldward Macflougall. Wise cracks constantly pop- ping out from the ever-typing newspaper girl, Frances Stuart: the dispairing efforts of the lillltllZl1lY. Virginia llodgeug and the serious attitude of Virgil Bean. pro- fessor of the college, Roderick lVlat-Dougall, brightened up the evening's entertain- ment considerably. Eleanor Leveroni and Viola Thatcher, college girls and inti- mate friends of Howard and Vic, had much to do with the success of the play The relatives of some of the students, Audrey Grala, Marion McGuire and Robert Montague, furthered the plot by their kind efforts to aid the young people. Robert Taylor, as Ur. llixon, the l'resident of Brookfield College, gave a splendid per- formance. 'l'he entire Senior class wishes to extend its heartiest thanks to Miss Hillman and Mr. Greennuin, who tirelessly coached the cast: to Mr. George llramau for the construction of the excellent stage background: and to all who helped make the play an success.

I have left them in a place Of dim lights, and long corridors, And restless, ever restless classes.. Six years. . While the bud of life is molded Scanned by frosts, wounded often And beautifully expanded by warm suns. Six years. A Ofwhich 'not all are happy memories l Of love, and friendship, and sun's warmth y But some of battles won and lost, the same of friends. Six years. Through which, as through the day, We must endure the heat 'before the cool. And then to say at dusk, I'm grateful, I appreciate. W ' S' ' ' R. J. MONTAGUE, '38.

26 THE TORCH THE SENIOR PLAY The Senior Play, it was a sketch Which we did all enjoy. Howard Brant, who was John Smith His honor did employ. He wanted so to graduate And wear a Cap and Gown. To march with his sweetheart, The prettiest girl in town. He wanted to go to Europe With his Aunt Maude you see And that's the reason He needed his degree. M. Locke, who was the joker Was just suited for the part. He owned a. chemistry plant And his explosions were an art. F. Stuart, who was the typist, Pretty, young, and fresh, Filled the play with humor With her wisecracks and her jests. But wait, here comes Professor Bean, The funniest of them all. And when Aunt Maude spied him She was riding for a fall. She fell in love with the poor old gent. What a pathetic sight! She grabbed him off and married him And I think it was for spite. She wanted to show those college girls She still was in her prime, So she said within herself I'l1 make old Prof. Bean mine. It ended very happily For everyone was paired. This Senior Play was a success So everyone declared. - E. TATE, '38. BIG BROTHER I have a. big brother, He is now seventeen, He's the biggest pest I've ever seen. And when he's out walking And I want to go somewhere, I have to hunt all over town, Just like you comb your hair. He may be down to Granberg's, He may be down to Locke'sg Cause when I try to find him, I'm surely on the rocks. VV. MONTAGUE, '4 3.
