what he calls a ttBunburying expedition. He arrives just after Jack has announced the death of his brother to Miss Prism and Dr. Chasu'ble. Ceeilv, the ward, promptly falls in love with him but Jack refuses his consent because Lady Braeknell will 'not allow him to marry Gwendolen. The girls are both engaged to marry Earnest Worthing and the fact finally comes out that Jack ttdoes not have a brother Earnest, never had a brother Earnest and dont intend to have a brother Earnest, not even of any kind.U Things are finally settled by Miss Prism, telling of leaving Jack in the bag and that he is really Earnest Monorieff Hand consequently Algernons elder brother! All ends happily and the play closes with the three couples, including Miss Prism and Dr. Chasuble, in each others arms. Owing to the fact that the class of ,24 is always original, we de- cided to startle the populace and run our play two nights instead of one. If we had had it only one night the chapel would have been filled to overtiowing. Instead of this we had a rather small but appreciative audience on Thursday, May 22, and a slightly larger one the next even- ing. Naturally the performance on Friday was better than that of the previous night, but it was well played both evenings and received its proper applause. The cast. selected by the members of the Senior Class, was exceptionally good and proved its dramatic ability beyond doubt. Emerson Stinson, as Earnest, played his part admirably and was ably seconded by Charlotte Hare. Chester Laughrey, a butler, raised the biggest laugh of the evening. Margaret Biateheloris new bass voice gave the proper aristocratic impression. Ruth Aston and Fred Stout were evenly matched as to easy stage manners and attractive depiction. play. The first act takes place in the morning room of a London apartment. For the furniture for this scene, we owe thanks to several people in the town. The second scene was specially difficult. It was that of a garden and the problem of securing a background was not easy of solution. But here Mrs. Breese, our art teacher, and her helpers came to our aid. Due to their untiring efforts we were sup- plied with scenery which rivaled the best to he obtained. Natural flowers supplemented those on the canvas and with an arbor and a stone'wall, which were provided by some of the high school boys, a beautIt'ul setting,r was provided for the char1 b minated in their shadow.
