,--f---------W----------------------------T H E A U R o R A----M-----R----u----------------M-------- Senior Play May 15, 1925 This season's dramatic presentation by the Senior Class was, What Happened To Jones, a screaming farce comedy in three acts. The play, by George H. Broadhurst, has been a strong at- traction on the professional stage for several seasons past and the local audience appreciated it extremely. Dealing with ''complex-complications, the plot centers around Jones, a salesman of either hymn books or playing cards, who changes places with a bishop in order to escape the police. Mistaken recognition follows, in which the Rev. Anton Goodly, D. D., is taken by his own brother and the brother's family for an escaped lunatic. Pro- fessor Goodly and Richard are the only charac- ters who know the true identity of Jones but they are prevented from disclosing the facts be- cause of previous embarrassing activities on their part. i1lc1llsLIlilIlllill1lli IlrlllilllllillliillillilllllilITIllllll-illillihlilllillilliihlllltl ltllLslll:l2:l-I: 2: 1 S+: 1 :i Q- :2:,: 1 4 ll I nge 28 The stage setting and lighting effects were an important feature in creating the exclusive at- mosphere demanded by the story.

The class of '25 followed the custom estab- lished several years ago of giving a play the last day of school before the Christmas holidays. The entire program was in charge of the Seniors and after several selections by the school orches- tra and the Glee Club, the play Three Pills in a Bottle, was presented. This was a good repre- sentation of the true Christmas spirit. After the final act Santa Claus gave each member of the faculty a gift and the Freshmen and other children in the audience each received a bag of pop-corn and a candy cane. FRESHMAN RECEPTION. The first social event given by the Seniors was the Freshman Reception. It was held some- what later this year but everyone had looked for- ward to it for some time and when that night came, we all had a very enjoyable time. We assembled in the gym but soon went to the auditorium where a trial was being held. Charges were brought up against the Freshmen by members of the Senior Class. One by one, or in small groups, they were called to the stage and fully punished for their offenses by Judge Wackstetter. After their initiation we again went to the gym to dance and later refreshments were served in the lunch-room. THE SENIOR SLEIGH RIDE The annual sleigh-ride of the class of '25 was held on January 12, 1925. Two well filled sleighs left the corner of Madison and Halsted Streets at 7:30. When we reached our destination, which was the home of Laura Budd, we found some of our classmates who had taken their sleigh-ride in automobiles, there ahead of us. Laura's home was decorated with purple and gold crepe-paper, our class colors, and each per- son was provided with a bow of purple and gold. We played games until every one was ready to rest. After delicious refreshments we started home. On the way home it snowed and hailed, but this did not spoil our fun. We came into town atfibut there's no use divulging the class secret. 1.1-qs.-nip.-1.1.1-.gig -qp1nn-gli:-1451.11uu1uuq-na-an-.llqglue-lugs!-4911.
