THE SENIOR CLASS presents A DILEM MA The three act farce, A Dilemma, was presented by the Senior Class on Wednesday evening, March 16th. Ned Pembroke, the reckless and wealthy youth who wrote love letters to the designing chorus girl, Vera Vernon, caused a real vexatious predicament when he sent his friend, an attorney, to steal the letters to prevent Daphne, Ned's financee, from hearing about his affair with Vera. Unfortunately, as you remember, the attorney, George Howell, got his grip mixed up with the grip of Nicholas King, who had stolen the ruby neckless from Mrs. Pembroke, the mother cf Nod. Not onl, were the situations screamingly funny, but the lines of Susie, the maid, and Miss Winnecker, the aunt, held a fund of humor. A more clever or funnier play has not been seen for many a long day in Tipton High School. A Dilemma was certainly a house full of laughs, and was one of the outstanding events cf the season.

Gathered here were the McCulloms, Burbanks. and some friends. George Burbank tolerates no one hut a young fellow of brawn and daring as candidate for the hand of his daughter, Betty, who is already wooed, much to his annoyance, by Harold Post, a young man of just the opposite type. Burbanks' friend, McCullom, a movie magnate, proposes to stage a spectacular flying stunt by a young aviator, Joe Bennett, who has applied for a job in the movies, and offers a prize to any amateur who will make a parachute jump. Jim Carter, Harold's friend, seizes on this as the young man's chance to make good, and puts forth various alibis which will prevent Harold's actually going up, while gaining the credit for bravery. One by one these alihis fail. Finally, Harold is forced to go through with it in spite of himself, and by mere luck manages to maintain his reputation as a dare-devil, to gain the enthusiastic approval of Burbank, and to win the girl of his choice. The Boys' Chorus, Old Fashioned Girls, Tennis Girls, Modern Girls, Mexican Dancers, and the High School Orchestra added color and attractiveness to the play.
