A Young Man's Fancy was presented on November 18 and 19 by the junior class. The plot of this light comedy centered around a wealthy, pampered boy who comes to a summer camp, meets with a raw reception from the other boys, but eventually becomes a regular boy. Under the expert direction of Miss Evelyn Probstfield each member of the cast entered into the spirit of this side-splitting entertain- ment, chuck-full of laughs and spiced with romance and common, everyday sense.

Revolving around the late George Brand, the theme of this com- edy had great originality and provided an opportunity for excellent acting by its well- balanced cast. Cousin George returns from over there to help solve the many problems facing his young heirs. As the curtain falls, he can settle back in his old chair and smile, know- ing he has done his work well. Quick, Geofff' Peggy fRita Fundinslandl, also related George, plans to elope with Geoffrey and tells him to hide the bags. Cousin George is an onlooker.
