E u lalia Sanford It is with an apology to the Class of 1927, that we insert the Rosary, their Class Play, into our I928 Banner. Time did not permit its insertion in Volume I, but we were determined that so excellent a work in dramatic art should not be lost to the future generations of eager students who will throng the halls of learning, they left last year and we must leave now. It was the Class of '27 who were our inspiration, our incentive to keep up the work' so ably begun by them and we think with pride of the fact that we may tread in the footprints of Alvin Vonderhaar, the perfect clergyman of the C1 C. H. S. stage, Vincent Borgman, the villian, who could not have been better, John Auge, the poor deluded hus- band who found himself and his love before it was too lateg George Schwarzer, the successful suitor par excellenceg Alois Burwinkle, whom no son of the Green Isle could have surpassedg Marie Druppel, the faithful wifeg Marjorie Thorn, the inimitable Kathleeng Eulalia Sanford, the simple but wary Lesura Watkins, and Helen Scholtz, the dupe of the villain and herself a perfect, but unsuccessful, schemer against the lives and happiness of Bruce and Vera Wilton.
