THE JUNIOR ECHO Page Fifteen Dramatics Marjorie Hallauer, '26 OR the last few years it has been the custom for each of the Junior and Senior classes, to give a play. Although in former years these have been successful, this year's plays have excelled those of all other years. The Seniors presented For the Love of Mike, a comedy in three acts, Gretchen Horner taking the part of Miss Hatty, a gossip- ing old maid, Clara Lebbert, as Aunt Emma, with the task of edu- cating her two dead brother's children, Hermia Hallauer, as Grace Howard, daughter of the late judge Howardg Mabel Ruffel as Margaret Howard, the cause of all the complications: Clifton Esley, as Mike Osborne, the chauffeur for the people next door, Esther Dickinson as Katie, the maid, who thinks Mike's visits are for her. The players were well adapted to their parts and entered into the spirit of the play so well that it was greatly appreciated by a . The Juniors presented Sunshine, a comedy with music, which gave its audience a good laugh all the time. james Whitbourne took the part of Buddy Brady, a baseball player, whose witty speeches and baseball language gave the fans a treat. Elizabeth Waterman, as Mary Ellis, alias Sunshine, was Buddy Brady's nurse. Clarence Becker, as Jim Anthony, had plenty of money and was engaged. Marjorie Hallauer, as Sylvia Deane, known as Jim Anthony's Fi-nan-cie. Hubert Keely as Mr. Juba K. Butternip, drank up all his tonic, which made him see stars and caused his ears to ring. John Furber, as Major Kelli- cott, the villian, greatly disturbs Sunshine and steals Miss Deane's ring. Ernestine Fuller, as Nurse Greggory, was Mr. Butternip's nurse. Doris Thompson, as Mrs. McCann, was having her ninth operation. Arline Risley, as Maudelia, Mrs. McCann's daughter, had a great love for fun. Frances Smith, as Mrs. Whipple, a ner- vous old lady, lost her parrot, and didn't know where she could find another. Beatrice Palmer, as Lessie Milford, a mental case, was always on the lookout for a clue. We wish to mention, also the work of the orchestra, whose fine music added greatly to the effect of the play. We leave our junior year with the hope that in the years to come other classes will take up this good work. Oooq
