and into the middle ofthe stage let us march in a body for the last time. The supes are getting ready to pack everything away for the long night, the sages are all drawn up outside the actors' entrance. The last Words of the chorus are upon our lips, and old Father Time is there in the orchestra, beating out the measure with his scythe. How fast, how fast they play! Harkl the bell has rung, the curtain is descending, the audience is crowding out the aisles. Once rnore let the dear old numbers ring out '96 gl' and now the curtain is down, the lights are out and, alas, the great play is over-forever. . .. W2 f., - , , Z av fag .

pleading with the fair one to forget her love and fly with him. Their arms are entwined, - and she, the faithless one, answers him with a happy Yes, George, I have always loved , you.

And now, while the lights are still low, and the audience subdued and quiet, perhaps the timid Rutter, like the prairie dog, will venture out.

From the village and the Upper, from Memorial ' and the playgrounds, the great chorus slowly treads its way. Here comes Dibble, a host in himself, the man who scored against the Princeton 'Varsity two long years ago, and now for Edwards, the author of Springs as they are sprung, and Rice with his famous tale of the Lost Thorn, and the Shepherd, the light of the Upper. Come on, come on, ye writers, orators and declaimers, Douglas, Schell, Rathbun, Lyon, and, if it please you, we'll lift the curtain a little higher, for here comes Look, the LL.D., and the Doctor Gould, P.G., smiling all over because he thinks he has escaped at least one class history. Make room now in the front ranks for the big four, f'The White Mountain Canary, Beef, K'The Microbe and l'The Kid. Come on, Westcott, with your banjo, and Vogeler with your violin, and behind let all the rest fall in. Now, altogether, up to the footlights . 23 .X.Sm rsovuaa. 2+-Q ' A f . 52: f NESS Gris Via? 7 ' T3 ylii in 5913 Q. ' a ' jg
