Then farewell, class of 1910, Go up life ' s great broad ladder: Pleasant memories you leave behind. And thoughts that ne’er grow sadder. Great men have scaled such heights as you Are now about to climb, May God be ever with you. And guide you all the time. Laura Carr, TO.

THE LINCOLNIAN 23 CLASS NIGHT PROGRAMME. For class night the graduating class presented a drama written by Thos. G. Perry, Claude Stirman and Anna Swan- son, entitled “College Life. The drama is in three acts. The following synopsis will give an idea of the play: Act I, Scene I, shows the campus of Lafayette on the opening day of school. Scene II, the girls’ lounging rooms. Act II, Scene I. — The night before the race, which is a contest between the best new scholars and the old scholars. Scene II. — The boys in the gymnasium. .room the morning before the race. Thanksgiving day. Act II. — The banquet in honor of Howard University. The play deals with the story of a country boy who arrives at Lafayette and is hazed by the college boys. Florence flirts with him, which causes James Brown, who is sweet on her, to hate him. Browm is a fourth year man, whose greatest ambi- tion is to win the Marathon race from Howard during his last year. It is discovered during the hazing on the first day of school that Green is an excellent runner and he is also entered in the race. When Brown, who has been living a fast life, hears this, he takes Green to a small town and gets him drunk, hoping to keep him from entering the race. Green, although becoming drunk, gets sober before time for the race, which is unknown to Brown. Brown intends entering the race and winning Florence back, to him. But Green enters, to his as- tonishment, and wins the race for the school and the girl for himself. “COLLEGE LIFE.” Cast of Characters. President, Macaulay Babbington Makepeace Shakespeare Scruggs..
