Class Prophecy Come on, Irma, said Ruth, let's look at the good old 'Times of Lockport H ighf Oh boy, said Irma, this is a treat. Miss Stewart said this edition was to be especially good. Wonder why? Just look at all the pictures on the Alumni page! Look at that lady with such curly hair. Let me see-it says, 'Miss Anna Koerner, quite experienced as a manicurist, has decided to take up this work in China'-why these must be the graduates of 1927, twelve years ago. Sure enough it is. We'll just settle down on this soft green grass and read to our heartis content, said Ruth. I think I know some of these old time graduates. I'll read to you.

R. DAUGHTREY, G. CORA, G. BUSH, E. BAXTER, S. MITCHELL, R. FREDERICKSON, F. NAIL, A. Bos, E. Woonnousa, F. LANDON, M. REESE, F. MYERS, L. WAGNER, Miss MCAUSLAN. Senior Play The Senior play, The Mummy and the Mumpsf, was given March 17 and 18, 1927, in the L. T. H. S. auditorium under the direction of Miss Frances McAuslan. The part of Agatha Laidlaw, founder of the most exclusive school in New England, was taken by Ruth Frederickson, who carried it well. Billy Laidlaw, a nephew of Miss Laidlaw, was played by George Bush, who portrayed his role successfully in making love to Dulcie Dumble. Richard Daughtrey was indeed a scream, especially while trying to keep in touch with Duly,', and commanding the chauffeur to drive the car back to the garage. Sir Hector Fish fLewis Wagnerj speaks seven- teen different lauguages, but had difiiculty in expressing himself. Maude Mullen, an eastern girl fEthel Woodhousej, was rather saucy to her lover. Albert Boe, or rather Francis Brisco, a college chum of Bill Laidlaw, impersonated Sir Hector, only to be put into more perplexing positions by pretending to be Agatha Laidlaw and in love with Maude. Mary Reese, as Phoebe Beebe, portrayed her char- acter very cleverly, as a newspaper reporter. Stillman Mitchell, as Perkins the Sheriff, possessed the typical Irish temper and was a man of duty. Dulcie Dumble 1Edith Baxterl, the beautiful but dumb girl, was deeply in love with Billy and was accused of losing her own jewelry while walking in her sleep. Anna Hampton, a western girl fFaye Myersl, was a cute miss as she cautiously cut the cords of the mummy case. The play, staged in the newly decorated auditorium, was pronounced the most successful for some years. f WW Gif? Page Thirty-two
