O ur second minstrel show took place Feb. 11, and introduced the newest hits and novelties of the season, including the animated song sheet. Haves and Foss scored a great hit in their original dia- logue and aided to a very great extent in the success of the enter- tainment. A dance was held from 11 to 1, in which many partici- pated and declared it the most enjoyable evening they ever spent. While we believe in giving other classes full credit for the work they did, it was mainly through ’98’s management and executive ability that the performance will be remembered throughout as the best amateur performance ever given in the city. THE CLASS PLAY. ' T ' he class of ’98 thought it wise to show their precedence over all other classes, past or present, so they gave a class play, entitled “Our Starry Banner.” It was a thrilling military drama in five acts. Each one in the cast learned his part so that the play went off without a hitch in the last rehear- sal, but our ill luck still followed us, and Miss Bemis, who played the soubrette part, was taken ill and was unable to take part. Miss Searle kindly helped us, and without a hitch filled the part. Every one said the play was one of the finest exhibitions of ama- teur talent of the kind in the city. Especially strong were Litchfield and Crimmin in the heavy parts, Parks and Shattuck in the part of old men, Miss Wheeler as the heroine scored a big hit, Lovell as the hero was very good, Hayes and Miss Warner took the parts of Dooley and Judy O’Dowd in a real old Irish way. The class worked hard for success, and suc- ceeded both from a theatrical and a financial standpoint.
