S I S I SYNOPSIS Mr. Jack Worthing, in love with the Hon. Gwendoline Fairfax, is Qreticent about declaring his affection. He lives in the country and in 'order that he may go to see Gwendoline he tells his ward, Cecily Cardew, that his younger brother is in another scrape. In town he goes by the name of Ernest and so his scheme works very well-for a while. Through a lost cigarette case Algy Moncrieff, Gwendo'line's cousin and J ack's friend, finds out about J ack's fictitious brother and his excessively pretty ward. Finally Jack proposes to Gwendoline and she reluctantly UD ac- cepts him because she is in love with the name Ernest. But unhappily for the pair, Lady Bracknell, Gwendoline's mother, puts a stop to it when she learns that Jack is adopted and does not know his ancestry. Meanwhile Algy goes to Jack's country place and posing as Jack's brother Ernest, win's the love of Cecily in one afternoon, unfortunately Jack returns in deep mourning for his brother, who has died in Paris, and finds his mythical brother engaged to his ward. Algy discovers that Cecily is also in love with the name Ernest, so he and Jack separately make arrangements with Dr. Chasuble to be christened Ernest. While each is on this mission Gwendoline comes from London and meets Cecily. There is quite a disagreement as to which is engaged to Ernest until the gentlemen in question return and explain. But once more Lady Bracknell complicates matters by appearing and things look dark for all the lovers until Miss Prism clears up the question of Jack's family tree and every one, even Lady Bracknell, is satisfied. , -asia- PAGE EIGHTY-SIX

H elen Gasper SENIOR PLAY On March 22, 1922, the Senior Class presented the play The Im- portance of Being Earnest by Oscar Wilde, a comedy in three acts. With the hearty cooperation of the student' body and the townspeople, the play, ia satire and one different from any hitherto givenj made an immense hit. For their splendid coaching and untiring patience in directing the cast, we are deeply indebted to Miss Tousley and Miss Peet and to them we owe a great share of our success. G. E. Q., '22.
