3Jlj£ ?twir iatfrrtatttmntt N the Nineteenth of October, the Class had the joy of attending an entertainment given by the mighty Seniors themselves. Entering the gymnasium by the narrow back stairway of Honor, we were confronted with a most wax- worklike and unseniorlike company of Mrs. Jarley ' s Wax Works. A few of our Senior friends and acquaintances, it V ' - fo 7 is true, we were able to recognize in the guiding ushers [ 0 armed with bell-wands to whom we clung in the melee. High on a pedestal in the middle of the room, poised the Stanlaus Bryn Mawr Girl with the most incredible number of ruffles set off by C a cap and gown. Then it was that we became aware of a bustling Mrs. Jarley, adorned with a gay bonnet and shawl, who, with an amazingly voluble flow of language, was exhibiting more figures on the stage to the fortunate persons near her.

Near these, were two gentlemen, arm in arm, who proved to be those enemies of all First Year English Students, Mr. Genung and Mr. Wendell. Near them we saw the great Dr. Johnson; a lovely, if slightly jerky, Juliet and enamored Romeo ; and a whole seraglio of Turkish beauties. Back in a corner on a bench sat three silent, mys- terious old persons, in whom we finally recognized those legendary creatures, Trustees.

allowed us to pull out some hairs from its tail for our new Memory Books. E. M. Holliday. N. B. — While 1901 was thus extending its hospitality toward us, 1903 was not idle. They too were looking out for our welfare. As we prepared to lock ourselves safely within our rooms that night, we discovered that 1903 held the key to the situation! Not until Cap and Gown Night, how- ever, did the full significance of this calamity burst upon us. I 904- I 90 1 Tune — There is a Tavern. A Ballad. We ' ll give three cheers for 1901, 1901.
