STORY OF THE PLAY. Springtime deals with the blighted romanee of a scion of 1868 aristocracy and the daughter of the founder of Brewster's Pills. Again, in the second generation, their children, also lovers, are frustrated in their attempts to marry and it is not until 1921, the time of the third act, that the grandchildren of the first lovers are able to culminate the postponed love which has gone on through the ages. The time involved in the story covers a period of more than fifty years. MUSICAL NUMBERS-ACT 1. 1. I Could be Happy with One Little Boy .................. Elvira and Society Group 2.

T Q Chapel Debates During the year a number of debates were held in the auditorium lduringr ehapel periodl. Needless to say. all were extremely interesting and. if one were attentive enougrh. very instruetive. The debates were in eharge of Nliss Crouse. whose ability to produee debaters of worth is uudoubted. The question for 2ll'gl'll!l10l1l' in the first eontest of wits was stated as follows: Resolved that strikes should be prohibited. Elizabeth Bleldarland and Max Dean supported the affirmative. They found worthy opponents in -lean llay and Russell Neale. who in upholding the negative won the debate. About the middle of the sehool year. Elizabeth McFarland and t'harlotte Lyons locked horns with liuey llods and llelen lleaumont. After a hotly eontested battle the elose decision was awarded the former pair of grladiators. The question eoneerned the intluenee of heredity and environment in the mould- ing of eharaeter. This siege of the fair ones was followed by a valuable quartet. The abolition of eapital puuishuient in l'ennsylvania eonstituterl the gist of the subject. lloward Wierbaeh and -Iaines Wolfe endeavored with inigrht and main to over- whelm the opposition. whieh. eonsisting' of Fred lienzenhofer and .Iohn Kinds- vatter, was very strong. The latter were the vietors and it may be said to the eredit of the defeated that they swallowed the pill with a smile. There is nothing: like good sportsmanship. The last debate was held in the latter part of May and the results game foo late to print in this issue. The speakers were Robert lieeker and William McPherson as eolleagues, while Jeanette liradford and Irwin Sehuette formed the opposition. The question eoueerued Pennsylvania and the daylight savings system. Sixty-three
