fe-xr' Logan Cressner Morris Stroinbeck VVise SENIORS PERFORM OPERATION. The Senior stunt given t'arnival night vvhich took tirst prize was a real-forssure surgical operation. Little Russell Vtfise heeoming suddenly ill with heart trouble, and all such diseases affeetng lovesick persons, was hastened lo the operating room of the Hicksville llospital. Stroinheek and Logan, the famous doctors from Harris. rushed to the scene in their llrush roadster. covering the distance of six miles in one hour. Un arriving ten minutes later they innnediately saw the serious condition of Little Russ. X'X'ith haste they sent a telegram on the four o'eloelc train to their nurses, Misses Crcss- ner and Morris. These ladies had just returned from aetive service at Liukville during the epidemic ol' whooping cough. and as they had experience along this line they vvere called to save the dying man. XYith their instruments. chisel. hammer. lmraee. hit, and the screvv driver they proceeded to do vvhat they eould to save the life of one we all love so well. The auaesthetie which was given, was formerly a pair of old socks owned hy Richard Huff. After inuch sawing and ehiseling, the patient's heart was pulled out. The heart in the form of a tomato was found to he slightly spoiled. This small operation failed to relieve the patient of the pain he was suffering. Through the use of an Xfray it was found that the poor hoy suffered from stomach trouble, his stoni- aeh must he removed. So with tears in their eyes and smiles on their faces the doctors and nurses removed little Russ's stomaeh, which was a huge can. Little Russ in in- fancy had svvallovved a can opener, and as a result his stomaeh had heen pierced. From his intestines a string of vveenies were also iemoved. on the helief that the lad would he lietter ull' without them. The doctors fearing that the operation would not he sue- cessful unless they examined everything, next pulled out his gizzard. an enormous eali- hage, and discovered that it was lwadly in need of repairs. The operation heing finished and the patient sexved up the doctors found to their dismay. that through eglrefulnt-55 they had forgotten their shears. The whole affair must he done over again, so with hravery they closed their eyes to his groans ot' pain and with unskilled hands removed the shears and again sevved up the patient. The patient recovered immediately, due to the inexperienced doctor. and the funeral arrangements that had heen made preceding the operation were postponed until further notiee. U75

The Scout boys must be complimented on the excellent work they tlitl in the camp fire scene with the sentry quietly pacing' back and forth. The special numbers between acts were exceptionally good and consisteil of a solo clanee by .Iuanita lless, two vocal solos by lflint llelms, and two sax- ophone solos by Rulo tlarn with Nliss Lemert as accompanist. The one who stooml back ol this clramatic event, as the capable coach was again Miss tialbreath of the department of English. ller plays thus far have been very successful. ancl it is needless to say that she will never lack an zzuilieuce.
