First Junior Recital T is certainly pathetic that some of our astrologers missed their cue and tailed to appear Tuesday night, tor lo, the tirmament of the combined upper studios burst forth with startling brilliancy, clue to the appearanceot twelve stars of various magnitudes that had never twinkled betore. Be that as it may, we modestly t N claim that, While the Seniors may have outshone all preceding classes at their recital a few days before, with their extracts trorn Browning, Longfellow, etc., were Bernhardt, Marlowe, or any of the great ones present on this ne'erHto-beaiorgotten occasion, we would have so impressed them with our Hutelike voices, conhclent mien and won- derful delivery that they would have been quarreling over which should engage us tor their next season. '1 hose who appeared on the program were as follows: Elizabeth Ebersole, who reacl Seene Not Seen. lVliss Ebersole is encouraged to continue, tor we see great possibilities in her. Miss Anna Purcell, who read Winning Cups Race in great style. Edith Gilligan, in the role of Mirandy, presented her views on matrimony in a manner that extorted many laughs from the audience as she pro- ceeded to relate her experiences with lke. Laura Hoffman told us about the Loves of Mary Ann. Gertrude Cash read By Courier. Marie Daugherty gave uOne of Bobis Tramps in an appealing manner that was very well received. Esther McHenry made the hit of the evening with her two selections. Dorothy McCord gave a very impressive rendering of Sandalphon. Crystal Levy gave a sincere and interesting reading of iiCigarette's Ride. Elizabeth Langmeier told us about uTheir Last Ride Together in a very original and entertaining manner. Mary Harrington sailed in HMy Ships on a musical sea furnished by Miss Griffin, and gave a short encore, uThat's How It Started. John Alexander and Wesley Tracey were expected to appear in some Shake- spearian repertoire, but who ever heard of either of them ever doing what was ex- pected of them? Whether their refusal to appear grew out of a charitable fear of showing the rest of us up, or whether they thought the scenery unsuited to their peculiar style of beauty e- nWho knows? Who knows? This is another mys- tery which Homelock Sherls and Arsene Lupin are seeking to unravel. if it should prove that our latter conjecture is correct- well, we may look frail and poetical - but we will see that one of two alternatives is enforced. They will favor us with an artistic rendering of the Balcony Scene from Romeo and Juliet tBruin Alex- ander being hereby assigned the role of Juliet because of his petite stature and airy grace, and Wesley Tracy, of course, playing Romeo because that's his favorite diversion anyway, the only difference being that Romeo had only one Julietl. Boys, here's your chance to redeem yourselves. If it is not accepted, like the usurious Shylock of old, we will extort from you the wherewithal to keep the en- tire Junior Class in banana specials for the season. Then, if such a refusal to appear at our recitals is again perpetrated -+- well, just look out! Verbum sap! - Mary C. Harrington, 'l6.
