2L tjjrougl) a glas SaMp I believe that we spent almost as much time as 1907 in preparing for their Sophomore play. We had to write songs in their praise, and in those days we wrote many; we had to vote upon them, and in those days we voted by ballot; we had to learn to sing them, and in those days we tried to master tunes and did memorise words. We rushed to Pennocks ' , hurried to the garret to root out best bib and tucker we were very busy. At last 1907 introduced us to college dramatics. Be it said that all of us promptly fell in love with The Good-Natured Man and with the rickety gym. stage, and that our affection for both has never wavered. How could we help adoring Eunice Schenck ' s doleful countenance and dismal platitudes, Alice Gerstenberg ' s wifely sarcasm and insistent good-humour, Gertrude Hill ' s excellent acting and stun- ning appearance. The gay costumes, the picturesque garden, the rosy bower, all delighted our childish souls. We were further excited by our responsibilities. To sing so that our glorious sentiments might be heard in spite of the gallery, ( 1905 ! ! !) such was our Herculean task. We thought our Glee Club quintette equal to the occasion (especially if urged on by Cal). Alas, we are older and wiser now, so wise that we prefer a chorus of discord to a few dulcet voices, raised in unison, so old that we speak of the Good- Natured Man as one of the most pleasant happenings of the days when we were young.
