Same corner in the evening of the same day. SYNOPSIS In order to investigate the servant problem June Haverhill, who is just out of college, gets a position as a maid at the home of Molly and Richard Ford. She discovers that she is in the house of one of her ad- mirers. As a servant she has to face several acquaintances. Robert Shepard, who is living with his sister, Mrs. Ford, is expecting his chum, Max Ten Eych, to visit him. During the previous summer Max had met and proposed to June. She had refused him, but he insisted that in case she should change her mind about him she must let him know. In the meantime he has been forced to propose to Dorothy Marck be- cause of a certain will which stated that she would receive ii:125,0U0 if she married him. Dorothy had to accept him because he too would receive ffSI2.5,000. When Max sees June here acting as a servant and finds a note signed J. H. he thinks that she has decided to accept him. Consequently he and Dorothy break their engagement. As soon as he does this he realizes that he really loves Dorothy. The note which Max found signed J. H. was written by a timid clergy- man, John Hume, who is in love with Dorothy. After planning and re- hearsing his proposal many times he pops the question, only to be refused. After twelve hours of worry and regret, Max and Dorothy become engaged again. Robert proposes to June. Everyone is happy except the bashful Mr. Hume, who just came across through the service hoping he might be of garden, and was greatly misunderstood. The Freshmen and Sophomores proved that they, too, could stage a play in an excellent manner. Every part was well presented. l3................. ,,,,,,,,, El Page 'l'll1r ly

All the friends that have been raised in these latter days will reveal the spirit of our good people. American people are not debtors of the world or of any nation in itg the world owes us. The world owes America because this country for a century and a third has given to the world a working model of popular government which if it had been adopted by other nations would have spared them the necessity of fighting the great war we have just concluded and many other wars besides. The world owes America because we have welcomed to this country millions of the poverty stricken people of other lands and given them here a home and country they could call their own, and America has divided with generous hand its wealth with their poverty. The world owes America because this is the one powerful nation in the world that has not used its strength to rob or oppress its neighbors or distant peoples and that has not been looking with jealous and designing eyes upon the property and territory of other nations. The world owes America because America poured out her blood and treasure without limit until the tide of conquest had been stopped and turned back and when other nations were dividing up the rich spoils of victory, America asked nothing in territory or indemnity, asked nothing but a peace of justice and of right. The debt we owe our country is a real obligation. The discharge of that debt to the great republic, born of the dreams and maintained by the sacrifices of our fathers is the first duty of Americans. How can we then become citizens of America? 'tAll persons born or naturalized in the United States subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the state wherein they reside. There- fore they havethe rights of citizenship, but they do not exercise the duties of citizenship. Only the voters exercise the duties. The idea of voting sprang from fighting. In the old days of blood and blows, the smaller or weaker party would sometimes decide by voice-in other words, by vote-whether to tight or not to tight. It is our duty to build a barrier against evil in all its forms and dis- honesty. It is this silent service and practical patriotism that makes our republic endure. Is it only the man who lights on the battle front who has a duty to perform? Oh, no. The citizen has as great a duty and as much demand for courage laid upon him as any soldier or sailor who has ever faced the foes of the republic on land and sea.
