( rs VXN N VsN XV. £L MMKKWB propljery of ’15 And behold, the curtain rises on the third act of the drama of the class of 1915. The first act took place in the early days of the members of this distinguished class. The second part was enacted during the college 00111 86, but now the rising action continues in this third division of time. First, there appears upon the stage a flourishing body with cheeks slightly colored, as if by some extraneous matter. Her stylish clothes tell us immediately that she is an actress—not a low, cheap sort, but one of the stars in Shakespearean productions. We are not at all surprised when we discover her name on the program—Madame Petrosen. And lo, another has taken up the same art: Mademoiselle Drusee has achieved greatness in interpreting the sentimental part of Juliet. This fair maiden has abandoned everything in order to lavish all her devotion on her art. And now a third person comes forth, sad and forlorn, seemingly just returned from a trip “out west.” (Keosauqua). Madame Drusee questions him “Who are you?” He speaks, “I am Neal Campbell's Hump. I’ve been tortured and harassed by a girl, and her name is Maude.” Poor fellow! Perhaps as time goes on he may be successful in winning the Judge’s daughter. A tattered figure saunters in. He has a brush and a box of paints. These outward symbols are all that is left of what was once happy-go-lucky “Perc.” Hazel Johnson, our demure sister, enters. Madame Petrosen inquires “Is it truly you?” “No”, she says, “I’m Truitt.” Three maiden dames appear in Salvation Army garb. “Who can they be—?” One says, “has Stan arrived.” We know this must be Fern because she was always strong for Stanley. Another articulates “I have been too anxious, so these modest clothes conceal my grief.” Poor Bertha! For this one was she. “It must be ten o’clock” sounds another. This is Aimee C—, who never will get over Ilershey Hall regulations. I11 romps Columbus Hayes, the eternal boy, who begins to sing “Beulah, Beulah.” He may well shout this for the above named is on his arm. Amy Z— has sent a note stating that her work among the Chinese is so fascinating that she can’t break away. We fear Amy is destined for a single lot. And behold! in walks our noble Stanley, who has made a place in the world by means of his great oratorical ability. He raves on and on and finally we get the gist of his discourse—“I have her, I’ve got her, she’s mine, etc.” At last his efforts have been rewarded, Viola is his. lA

Edith Lee, always known for her quietness and peace, has become a nun. She helps the lowly and forsaken—May heaven bless her! Ilileman and Hagie both report that they are in Chautauqua work, the former as lecturer, the latter as manager—And, to be explicit, they have both won their hearts’ desires(?). Here comes an hilarious creature—we see it is Ruth Will its, who is now accompanying the great bass singer, Chas. Cornick, a former classmate. Very fortunately their tour from New York to New Orleans permits them to stop off a little while. Howard Goehring slouches in—he has retired to his farm in Fremont, and has raised—most everything in general—He has a wife and we think her name is Helen. Our grand opera singer comes next. She has ceased to speak English and now rattles off French operas at a very rapid rate—This surely is Ruth Logan. Floyd Duncan steps in, a type of “perfect physical manhood”—he has won all the aluminum drinking cups in Iowa, and is now taking many in other states—he practices law as a side line for one profession is too limited for him. Here comes a little matron who looks as jolly as ever. She is perfectly happy as shown by her beaming smile. This is Jean Warrington. The door bangs— Ruth Schreiner arrives—“Well, I suppose you want to know what and why I am. I tried teaching a few years—this spoiled me for matrimony as I became too fussy. I then wrote a few books, but these were unsuccessful, so now I am a militant suffragette, and I’m suffering yet.” The door softly opens, and in walks Rev. Barnett—lie is late, of course, but nevertheless welcome. He tells of his parish in Rome and then pronounces his blessing upon Wesleyan’s most famous class—The curtain falls. Thus endeth the third act of the drama of the class of ’15. r In
