I '4bx Q. Ulbe Ulhanksggihing iBIap aah Musicals When Thanksgiving rolled around, several members of the English department gave a play, preceeded by a sho1't musicale. Quits , a one act comedy by A. E. Brown, is the story of two Harvard men who visit a girls' seminary. Here they have many interesting experiences and get into all sorts of difficulties with the dean, before each boy gets a promise of marriage from the girl with whom he had been corresponding under a fictitious name. The characters were ably chosen, and the play was very well directed by lN'Ir. Travis. Jean Honsberger, Betty Thompson, Marietta lVIould, Harry Bonner, and Burton Davis made up the cast. Preceeding the play, a musicale was given by Miss VVright and some of her pupils. The program consisted of Vocal Solos, Miss Wright, Marjorie Morris and Lewis Gickerg Piano Solo, Alice Voorhees, Male Quartette, Coach Myer, Paul W8l'llCI', lVIr. Sutphen and Lewis Gickerg and, perhaps best of all, a Female Quintette, by the Misses Morris, Honsberger, DeRyder, Thompson and Voorhees. Both the play and the musicale were a success, and the evening was joyfully spent by everyone. Several parents of the students stayed over for the event, and we feel assured that they did not regret their stay. Hit. Qlurinitiys jfuuthall Banquet On Wedxiesday evening, December the seventeenth, the football squad and gentle- men of the faculty attended a banquet which was given at the Jefferson House, Watkixis Glen. This dinner was given to the football men for winning their Thanks- giving game. At a pep meeting held on the eve of Thanksgiving, l'vIr. Corwith gave a short talk on pep and good sportsmanship which go to help make a football team. ll'Ir. Corwith, had come from Long Island especially to see the Thanksgiving game, be- cause he was told beforehand that there were all expectations of a good game on Thanksgiving. With this in mind he wanted to put additional pep and spirit in the boys so he said, If you win that game to-morrow, you shall have the best dinner that is possible to be had. At the close of this last sentence the student body applauded, yelled and whistled until it seemed as if the roof would Hy off. At the banquet, Doctor Summerbell was toastmaster. He gave the football men due credit for the record of their football season, putting Stl'CSS upon sportsman- ship and teamfwork. He also congratulated Coach Nleyer and Captain Glenn Boyce, upon their cooperation during the season. ' lVIr. Corwith was present at the banquet, having made the trip especially for the occasion. Wheii his turn came to speak, he said, that he thought according to the score which Starkey ran up against their opponents on Thanksgiving, that the fellows on the team had rubbed it in a little. He also again praised the fellows on their fine work in spite of the smallness of the squad. Forty-two .
