“All Livingstone is a stage nd all the many classes, groups of players; They have their exits and their entrances, And each class in its time plays many parts.” Thus might a portion of Shakespeare’s “Seven Ages of Man” be paraphrased. The Class of 1930 staged the usual four-act play and here follows a sketch: CLE In the fall of 1926, sixty-one greenies stepped on the stage and presented the introduction to “Livingsto ne Life”. W..J. Berry played the hero and led-the cast, wearing caps bearing the large and very noticeable “F”, through to victory. Five men played football; three men were on the varsity nine; and twelve voices augmented the Choral Union. By physical and mental powers, the “green” overcame their traditional antagonist, the “red”, by cap- turing the first three places on the Honor Roll for the year—by winning the Frosh-Soph football and baseball games—and by winning the Frosh-Soph Dehate. EAL When the “fools” appeared in the fall of 1927, they had assumed an all important air. Just half the cast appeared to find that school life also carries with it a most enjoyable social life. The non-thinkers became sophisticated, but not too much so that they couldn’t make the “green” bow to the red as they had once done the red. Two members were added to the cast—Misses Grace Corrothers and Portia Kelsey. In Scene II, we were minus one actress—Miss Catherine Malone. We emerged in June again leading in mental and physical efficiency. Page twenty-sia THAME ii Too CITRATE TO. TOOT Poorer asasee POO a 8 E 5} 8 8 a BI 5 5 IB il 8 8 Do

PVT When the curtain rose on Act III, and the “ole school bell” tolled, new faces were seen among us. We now had in the cast, Miss Ruth Bowling, and Messrs.

But we had GV ‘This act presents us imbued with the indomitable spirit to strive for the things hi ghest and best We donned the vesture of our senior dignity, for playfulness is out of the question. and this means hard work. We have now eight on a Dean’s List of fourteen as in previous years, but all of us have grown older and wiser since the play began. The hero in Act IV as in Act III is William E. Carrington, the indefatigable worker—his superb acting helped and is helping the play along quite a bit. There are additions to the cast—Miss Emma Foreman, Messrs. B. T. Medford, Paul Jackson, and W. B. Davis. Five members of the college octette are bidding Livingstone College adieu—ten members of the Choral Union say farewell—the college loses three student teachers—a college publicity manager relinquishes his position to pass out with the rest. The curtain is slowly descending on the finale—the end of a perfect day—June 4, 1930. The last rays of the sun are barely visible on the distant horizon and a quiet group, their sport clothes of college life having been replaced by caps and gowns, are standing, gazing at the massive, sturdy stone gates, so symbolic of Livingstone—wondering of the future and asking the question—now what?
