Class Play ' ' Lady Lilac ' ' Notice: Senior Class Piay Tryoiits ai 1 :30 Today. That ' s how one of the highlights of the Senior Year began. . After weeks of intensive training on the part of !Miss Arnold to make us actors, we had an unfortunate interruption. Our coach Miss Arnold and liss Neil}-, in charge of properties, were injured in an automobile accident, but the Senior Class were favored by fortune in being able to secure IMr. Joseph Celi, Miss Clark, and Miss Nelson for the further production of the play. The three act drama was the story of two murders and the mysterious person of Lady Lilac, which all was unraveled by Miss Smith, a female Sher- lock Holmes, ably assisted by the hotel clerk. Lilac Lake Inn, which is near the Canadian border in a remote part of Maine,, was the scene of false convictions for the village constable, love affairs by th dozens, missing liver pills, and a fresh traveling salesman who pro- vided the comedv very ably. ] Iiss Smith, the detective, was played by Mrginia Campbell. Arthur Ecclestone, as the hotel clerk, eagerly offered his suggestions as to the sex of the murderer, but only succeeded in falling in love with ] Iaybelle Slas- on, eighteen years old, a very charming reporter, played by Eleanor Borgeson. Mr. Heigho Hi Periwinkle, alias A ' illiam ( Miistle ' ) McArdle, did a ter- rible lot of suspecting and just never could seem to get around to arresting anj ' one. on a legitimate cause. Gentlemen ! Allow me to introduce Hathaway ' s Harmless Habit Cures. Announcing Mr. A ' illiam Mitchell who very ably enacted the part of a breezy, rather eli — you know the type — salesman, who talked his way swiftly into trouble and more swiftly out of it. But sadly Blanche Howland, in the role of Dorothy W ' ingate, really the murdered man ' s sister, caught up with him, and that was the last of Nlr. Hathaway. Yon can all remember that final handshake that took place between these two. Betsy Glover, as wealthy ]vlrs. Ware, mother of laybelle Mason, presented a humorously pathetic picture amidst her woes of missing liver medicine, lor- gnette, and daughter. Speedy, a slow-moving country boy with shoes too big for his feet, played by Robert Anderson, was a Swedish chore boy and a medal winner in yawning, who turned out to be one of Miss .Smith ' s most trusted deputies. Richard W ' elton, taking the part of Richard Lane, who was the business man ' s example of good taste and owner of Lilac Inn, cleverly disguised the fact that he — a man — was Lady Lilac, the criminal.
