THE 1925 ODRANOEL I Svvninr lglag FRIDAY NIGHT, APRIL 24, the Senior Class presented its ann-ual play,.a two-act conredy, entitled Mr, Bob. Through the i untiring patience .and skilltul coaching of Miss Johnson this play proved a success trom every point of view. A matinee was given L' tn on the afternoon preceding the eveningperformance which proved deserve much credit for their eitorts. to be an excellent advertisement. The members of the cast worked hard and , Mr. Bob was the nickname for a young lady, and that's what caused the misunderstanding. Marion Bryant, Mr, Bobf' Uean Morrisj cameto visit her college chum, Katherine, fPhyllis Smithj, who lived with her Aunt, Miss Becky Luke, QNancy Cockej, and her cousin, Phillip Rayson, fRalph Pixleyj. Bob was Katherine's pet name for Marion, and Phillip labored under the delusion that she was a boy. For that reason, he was preparing to welcome her and entertain her as one of Kitty's admirers. At the same time, Miss Becky, who was extremely fond of cats, had sent for an architect to remodel the top floor of her home, which was to be made into a home for destitute cats. His visit was to be unknown to Phillip and Katherine. Mr. Brown, QAustin Johnsonj, a lawyer's clerk, arrived and was received by Patty, QKathleen Kemblej, Miss Becky's maid. Mr. Brown had some important papers for Miss Becky, which were sent by her lawyer. But Patty mistook him for Mr. Brown, the architect, and then the fun began. She confided her troubles to jenkins, fGeorge Mcllonnellj, Miss Becky's butler, and they did all they could to prevent Mr. Brown's seeing any of the family. And so the story goes, until Phillip, who is interested in boat racing, much against Aunt Becky's will, promises to give up racing if Aunt Becky will give up her cats. Aunt Becky reluctantly agrees to do this in order to keep Phillip from being drowned, and Mn Bob, decides to enter the race. In the meantime, Mr. Bob and Phillip meet and it is discovered that Phillip had lost his heart to Marion the summer before. He, of course, doesn't realize that she is Mr. Bob. The climax occurred when Phillip gave his boat to Captain Bob. MILDRED DE VESTY, '25. 31
