ttec ' te a . cliis. I c nil. 2 V- ' T In the middle of the winter the Seniors gave an interesting prugiam consisting of several musical numbers and three plays. .ne Which VVill He Marry, including the whole class in the east Ixlr. Wiggs, a barber, was represented by Robert Bachelorg Timothy. his friend, by Philip White. All the ladies in the town are wild over the barber, who pays no attention to any of them. At last 'l'i'n tells him that one of the eight business women on his block has inheiited a. fortune from a deceased uncle. Wiggs, not knowing which one it is. makes love to seven of them, while Timothy tries to find out the heiress. The eighth woman is scorned by Wiggs because he knows her folks have all been dead for years. The other women, i the meantime find out what a tickle-hearted wreteh the harler is and decide to punish him. Next Tim comes in and informs Wfggs that the eighth woman is the heiress. Just as the women are telling him of their decision-that he must marry them all-XViggfs proposes marriage to the heiress, but she refuses him, and he is again left alone. The next play, And the Lamp Went Out,, was in pantominc. The reader was Isabel Myers, while Gladys Finney, Ruth Newton, Genevieve Gibson and Hazel Fisher Cthe last two took the parts of boysj were the actors. The plot dealt with a. young man, the villain who 'tcrept' into the room where Evelyn was sitting. and tried to get her to marry him. She, angry, took her mother's arm, and left. the room. Her true lover came, tho, and by and by he and Evelyn Uwaltzed into the room. The mother ordered Herbert to leave the room. The two lovers sauntered into the conservatory, leaving the mother alone. The clock 'ticked on' and the 'lamp went out.' The last play, A Pair of Lunaties was a screaming comedy. lt dealtgwith two persons, a. young lady and a man, who met at a ball in a lunatic asylum. each thinking the other one crazy. The many foolish actions and speeches indeed seem to prove it so, altho 'tis found at last, that they are sane. The parts were taken by Helen Shull and Earliest Van VValker.

a long run with road companies as well as amateur organizations. The play is a coniedy dealing with the trials and tribulations of one Jones, and the Goodly family. Richard Heatherly, future sin-in-law of the staid science professor, Ebenezer Goodly. per- suades the latter to attend a prize-fight with him. While there the place is raided, Goodly, Heatherly and Jones Ca salesman for hymn books and playing eardsj make their escape via a water spout, but so closely followed by the police that Jones leaves a good third of his coat in the hands of an officer. They reach the Goodly home just as Helma. the Swedish servant girl receives a suit of clothes delivered for the bishop of Ballarat CGoodly'S brotherj who is hourly expected to arrive for a visit. The police are at the door. so Helnia is bribed. Jones hides the tell-tale coat, dons the Bishop's and the officers are inet by a Bishop. Then follows the troubles of Jones, for to all. even to Alvina fthe Bishop's sweetheartl he is Bishop Goodly. The real Bishop arrives. Jones sends his suit to be pressed, and tells him to remain in bed. But he wanders about in a blanket and is mistaken for an escaped lunatic. The police return. find the Bishop wearing the tell-tale coat, arrest him and carry him off despite the pleas of his brother. Explanations follow and the Bishop is returned. Jones. in the meanwhile having fallen in love with Cissy, Goodly's niece, explains his presenee by saying it was the only way in which he might call and claim his bride. A sigh of relief from the audience, Jones is saved, all are happy, and the cur- tain descends on one of the best plays ever given here. The acting of every member of the east was unusually good. The costuming and stage effects showed time and thought had been given them. a point often slighted by amateurs. . Mr. Deane, assisted by Miss Hamilton, had charge ofthe pre- sentation and the success of the performance was to a great extent due to their untiring efforts. Many requests for a repetition of the play were received. but owing to the many other school affairs 'which were to take place in the near future, they could not be granted. Mr. Deane- How would you like to have a pet monkey? Genevieve- Oh. this is so sudden. 'i2f lZP
