THE ECHO 31 BOYS 7 BASKETBALL Basketball started this season on January 8 at Sharon, and closed on March 9 at Pembroke, the Club playing 16 games in all.

30 THE ECHO came detective, district attorney, cameraman, and the keeper of the Insane Asy- lum. Their activities afforded much amusement, rivaled only by two ancient checker players who had been playing for years and who were totally unaware of the commotion around them. After the audience was nearly dead from laughing so heartily, Keeper Jenks finally caught up with his charge, and marched him off, followed by all the others leaving the two checker players still engrossed in their game. II Box and Cox The characters were Box, Chester Wiggins; Cox, George Gagnon; Mrs. Bouncer, Annie Minkowski. The scene of this play was laid in a rooming house where the crafty land- lady had rented a room to Box, who worked at night, and to Cox, who worked in the daytime. Everything ran smoothly until Mr. Cox got a day off and decided to remain at home. Here he met Mr. Box, and immediately an argument began about whose room it was. After attempting to settle the argument by a duel with empty pistols, loaded dice, and crooked coins, they found that they were both interested in the same woman. At first neither wished to claim her, but when news arrived that she had inherited a large fortune, they both changed their minds. This argument was settled by the lady herself who informed them that she had married Mr. Knox. The two decided to make the best of things and embrace each other warmly, promising never to part, and to stay in the same room. The curtain fell upon the locked couple. III Sauce foi ' the Goslings The characters were Richard Taylor, William Wood; Margaret Taylor, Marie Smith; Robert Taylor, Irving Long; Elizabeth Taylor, Alice Franklin; Martha Lee, Lucy Kenstowicz; James Brown, Allan Flanagan; A maid, Veron- ica Seminovitch. “Sauce for the Goslings” is a story of a family who are greatly opposed to slang. The father, played by Bill Wood, and the mother, Marie Smith, were very dignified, while their two children, Elizabeth, Alice Franklin; and Robert, Irvin Long, were always using slang. In an effort to break the children, the father, mother, and grandmother, played by Lucy Kenstowicz, made up a scheme by which they greatly embarrassed them with the aid of James Brown, Allan Flana- gan. Although this play was very amusing, it was the longest and most serious of the group. IV Prose Preferred The characters were Gloria Henning, Rose Moran; Douglas Henning, George Jones; Miss Kingsford, Leona Mitchell; Miss Gard, Anna George; Bert, Dick Kelley; Steffy, Willard Hamilton; Florella, a maid, Rita Walsh. In this play Mr. Henning, George Jones, was nearly driven insane when his wife, Rose Moran, joined a club whose purpose was to make everyone talk in rhyme. Finally with the help of his friends, Bert, played by Dick Kelley, and Steffy, Willard Hamilton, who played the parts of plumber and iceman, re- spectively, he succeeded in breaking up the club by shocking its members with workingman’s poetry.
