Sir Hector arrives in a most unconventional fashion-inside the mummy case, in which he had himself expressed, so as to escape being quarantined in New York for a well-developed case of mumps. His identity is discovered and kept secret by the cleverest girl pupil in the school, partly to save him from arrest for breaking quarantine and partly because there is another Sir Hector in the field, impersonating him. The compli- cations multiply and one situation grows closely upon another, each more uproari- ously funny than its predecessor. The hilarity is also promoted hy the inimitable man-of-all-work, who has three 1DL'l1,S work to do but doesn't do it, by Brisky, the giddy youth who impersonates Sir Hector, and by his equally giddy pal, Bill, h' the Jrize dumbdora among the girl vuiils' hf a terriblf nose' girl re iorter' l l c- .. 1 . l l .. l r and by a hick sheriff. 69 iVlARGARE'l' SULLIVAN, 'Z8.

Class Night Exercises JUNE 8, 1928 Class night marks the climax of dramatic performances given by Class '28 during the year. They have proved their worth on various occasions and have taken an active interest in all school dramatics. Class night is the herald of com- mencement and thus marks the beginning of more serious thoughts-graudation- college-position--life. There has been a noticeable distinction between Class '28 and the preceding classes. Their activities, their work, and their personalities have been of a humorous nature, therefore on Class night their real selves will be presented. Class '27 presented a beautiful and inspiring interpretation of the Making of a Graduate. lt was characteristic of Class ,27 to have a Class night filled with beauty, truth and inspiration. The scenes of heaven and hell were very pleasing and enacted skillfully and carefully. But the Class of '28 will present an entirely different Class night. It will reveal the Graduate in a lighter mood, for humor is needed in life and especially needed by a graduate who is apt to take things too seriously. This is not likely to be the case of Class '28, for they have a reputation for being happy-go-luckyfl The history of the class is a humorous affair mixed with pathos and tragedies which were never taken seriously. We shall say with Shakespeare: But a merrier man, within the limit of becoming mirth, l never spent an hour's talk withal: His eye begets occasion for his wit.', Since the Annual went to the press while the Class night exercises were still in the making, it is impossible to give an outline of the characters and a descriptive program, but uso far, so goodf' and the Seniors are eagerly awaiting their big night.
