455561 sy 1 n A . N ' L. Centralian Day Assembly PROBIPTLY at 3:30 students began to gather for the Assembly, and so when the curtain rose at 10: l5 there was quite an audience to wit- ness the bewildering succession of original acts presented. Bart, the cartoonist, started the events with a chalk-talk. Then there was a suffrage skit-or was it anti-suffrage?-presented by Gladys Holt, Byron Van Ness, Bob Ahern, and sulfragists. After the broken dishes had been re- moved, the D. Y. VV. Y. K. Club gave a harmonious selection entitled 'fThe Village Blacksmith which was suggestive of anthems. The mourn- ful parody, 'fVVe're Here Because VVe'e Here, sung by the Bean Club, was right in line with the general gloom. Elizabeth Bailey presented a tragedy, picturing NIickey VVilliams weeping so pathetically at the death of his loveress, Joanna Hanley that the audience also wept. Loren Bates and Hermie Goldstein favored the audience with their oldest selec- tions. There was a dancing number by Esther Hildebrandt and Eugenie Young and a string quartet which rendered the then popular air fthe only one in fact which the players ever knewj For Oh, l'm On lNIy VVay to Dear Old Dublin Bay. Mr, Green' rose to the occasion by going up in a balloon. He returned after a time, however, to announce fourth hour classesl' to which the audience hastened by way of jitneys provided for the occassion. if f? .

YVe have forgotten whether the Peerade was four miles long or only three, but we do re- member that it was more varied than a circus parade, and that a Calliope makes less noise than lVlr. Broolis blacksmiths. For the first time We saw the Boys' Club members as they really should be--that is, with tin cans on their Hbeansf' The Girls' Club proved to be a militant suffrage organization and distributed an immense amount of valuable literature for the Cause The girls guarded in their midst the Last Nlan QBob Ahernl, their strongest argument for NVoman Suffrage. A miniature Nlay Pole was carried by the G. A. A. behind a creature all body and legs which aroused much excitement among local scientists and is now classified as lWirabilissima lVIirabilarum. VVe saw then the four stages of manf-a darling baby freshman Qand nursel, a sophomore lad, a strutting Junior, and-highest stage of all-Howard Coan, bor- rowed from the Junior Class to take the part of an imposing Senior-with cap, with gown, with everything. There was a liberal scattering of Yama- Yama girls, Charlie Chaplins, Luke VVarms, Con Traflics Cthen in voguej, teachers, little boys, carts, and numerous other menagerie marvels-not in captivity. The Whole stupendous line after stopping street-car traflic for an enjoy- able length of time wound up with a resounding march through the front halls and deafening yells of Greer Rah!
