Mic High-lighting the musical program for the past school year was the operetta, Harmony Hall, presented by members of the Girls' Glee Club, Boys' Glee Club, and Mixed Chorus. Feminine leads in the operetta were carried by lean Lester, Edna Oligney, Crystal lensen, Lorraine Merkel, Marion Borens, Christine Sadowska, Virginia Gauger, the boys who car- ried maior roles were Robert Garvue, Herbert Dixon, Clarence Mitten, Donald Reese, Iohn Kraemer, Iohn McDonald. Harmony Hall told the story of General Earnest Work, who having made a fortune by the manufacture of musical toys, retired from business to devote his life to music. He endowed a college on condition that every student would study music, learning either to sing or play a musical instrument. Even the servants had to indulge themselves in music. To this co-educational institution General 'Work gave the name of Harmony Hall. lt was the General's great sorrow that his only son, Doolittle Work, was hopelessly 'un- musical. So to avoid the disgrace of having an unmusical son, the General paid a globe- trotting Scotch tutor by the name of McTavish to keep the young man travelling in foreign countries. McTavish, however, did no such thing, but kept the boy here in America, sent in enormous bills for his expenses in far off lands. Having no heir to whom to leave his fortune, the General adopted a young prima donna, Mlle. Rosalie, and arranged for her marriageto Felix Brownini, a famous tenor. He agreed to make them his heirs on condition that they sing the leading parts in an opera which the General had written. On her way to the General's home, Rosalie met on the train Doolittle Work who, disguised by the name of Smith, had become the Business Manager of the glee club. The wedding was about to take place when professional jealousy caused a quarrel between the two singers, and broke off the engagement. The various entanglements were finally settled with father and son reunited in the end. fi :yi fu-14M FLAM .WZ QAM: H. Dixon, C. Mitten, V. Luber, D.

Oi his many experiments we were most surprised when he dipped a small rubber ball in liquid air and on its removal from the container was able to break the ball, which had become brittle and glass-like. Then we leave this atmosphere to the stillness which prevailed through the Science Club, while Dr. Copps told oi his variety of scientific experiences which have happened during his medical career. The Science Club, advised by Mr. Boylan, Mr. Borchardt, and Mr. Burnlcrant, was started mainly to further the interest in current scientific topics. The club meetings consist entirely oi lectures and movies plus several social qatherinqs. w . I x r' V , ' A-.
