The Senior Class Play The Senior Class Play Will be one of the Commencement week festivi- ties, but at this writing definite arrangements have not been made. It is a comedy of mystery in three acts, and will keep the audience in suspense and laughter till the close. This comedy is staged in the Catskill Mountains at the Rip Van Winkle Inn. The plot of the play is the struggle for the supiemacy, in a furniture factory, between Ted, the rightful heir, and Ira Stone, who wishes to gain control. Ted is helped out by Mollie, the housekeeper of the inn. According to the by-laws of the company every stockholder must register by midnight preceding the meeting, but Ted fails to appear. Mollie and Skeet Kelly, the hotel clerk, persuade a civil engineer to im- personate Ted and sign the book. When all seems to be well the lawyer, .Jim Ryker, comes in and says that he is well acquainted with the real Ted. Everybody becomes excited, but the lawyer disappears and the engineer is presented as the young heir. In Act II Miss Loganberry, an old maid, is awaiting the return of Ted,,and the engineer is kept busy avoiding her and trying to further his own heartis interest in Diana Garwood, a guest at the inn. Ted finally comes to the inn, bringing his bride with him. To make everything work smoothly, Molly conceals them in the basement. During thisstime a mysterious widow from Honolulu appears, who owns some stock in the furniture company. This stock has been placed in the safe for the night. After the guests have retired a noise is heard in the office; Mollie hides and a shadowy form begins to rifle the safe: The alarmris given, but the burglar escapes with the stocks. The last act takes place the morning after the robbery, when a mys- terious, deaf, bid farmer appears. The lady from Honolulu becomes known, and everyone finds the road to happiness.
