Tufts' Jum- bonians' furnished the music in an ad- mirable manner. The Soph's Dance was held in late November, music being given by Grant and Peterson's orchestra of Brockton. Our junior Prom was one of the biggest events of the year. Cn this occasion the hall was decorated with balloons of various colors hung in ar- tistic array. A grand march lead by the juniors was one of the features of the evening which terminated in a friendly and informal introduction to the patrons and patronesses. Burke's orchestra of Brockton gave some of the snappiest music heard in our school this year. Congratulation, Juniors, on your huge success. The Senior Class play, f'Blind Dates, under the able coaching of Miss Evie Ellis, was performed v'ery creditably before a large audience on December 13. The cast of characters was as follows: Betty Breeze, whose romance is threatened Eleanor Stockbridge Cissy Lomex, who loves dancing Constance Dexter Bertie Brown, who talks too much Francis Roberts Pete, a colored waiter Oscar Gooch Jerry, an ambitious U1 negro Milton Rogers Chic Morgan, a regular fellow Wendell Magoun Steve Harlan, his best friend Andrew Forsyth Matilda Jones, the good scholar Dorothy Roberts Lavinia Harkins, everybody's friend Helen Josselyn Pansey Tansey, who gives good advice I Marjorie Haynes Percy Lorimer, always attentive to the ladies Peter Nawazelski Ben Sharp, has a hard time with his grades Lawrence Chaffee Hank Bluster, always in debt Charles Petrosevich Nora Drake, hitch-hiker from Chicago Myrtle Paulding Lula Downs, hitch-hiker from Chicago Blanche Lemish Winnie Morgan, Chic's helpful U1 Sister Eunice Miller Shirley Sherwood, a girl who likes fun Phyllis Studley Pink-ie Orde, a clever impersonator Millie Wells Business Manager Wesley Sides Stage Manager Wilbur Trafton Assistants E. Gardner, C. Janson, C. Merritt, H. Cox For the benefit of the 'iHanoverian a unique program for a Stunt Night was originated and worked out by our 'faculty adviser, Miss Berget Reese. On February 3, after weeks of care- ful coaching, members of each class appeared on the stage in a stunt, Twelve junior girls greeted the au- dience in behalf of the Hanoverian in a spelling-out sltunt, featured by songs, dancing, and clever costumes. The seniors gave a parody on the teachers. lYhat could be funnier or more laughable? Toyland with dolls of various des- criptions was cleverely brought before us by members of the Sophomore Class. lVe shall always remember the jumping lack who was oh, so serious, and the bridegroom who was a veri- table doll. A duet was sung by Louisa Cox and Meredith MacPhee: and a very pretty dance was done by Nancy Magoun.
