20 VOX COLLEGII Gaby De Chevrier (portrait)— Greta White. Statues — Catherine Breithaupt, Cathlyne Darch, Verda Day, Marion Williams, Dorothy Chambers, Marjorie Warden. When the curtain parted it revealed a softly-lighted artist ' s studio with groups of beautiful statues. De Lip- kau is near painting a portrait of the fashionable society belle Jeannette Horton, who is in love with him, but he, having put his very soul into his painting of ' ' La Belle Parisienne, ' ' is deceived into believing himself in love with the subject which has been his ideal, and only when she is brought to life does he discover her personality and comes to appreciate bis true love Jeannette. The performance closed with class songs and God Save the King.

vox OLLEGII 19 away up here in the far north I am a- fraid such a thing, would be impossible. However, my thoughts will be with you, and of course I will be wondering who will be chosen as Queen. I hope that you will have a nice bright day and that all will have a real jolly time. Sincerely yours, MEDA WATT. On the closing day a further surprise awaited the Queen in the form of a medal, presented by the Powell sisters, to her as the Ideal Woman ' ' of the College. The idea of the medal was a very happy one, for it empha- sizes the fact that our students are- honoring, not necessarily the cleverest or handsomest girl of the College, but the one who has come nearest to their ideal of what perfect womanhood should be. Junior Concert and Banquet On May 22nd everyone ' s curiosity was aroused by a poster declaring that the opening of the Junior Hippodrome would take place the followmg even- ing. At 7.30 there was a full house, and after several popular airs had been rendered by the orchestra, the curtain was rung up and the first playlet ' The French Maid and the Phonograph ' was given. CAST : Flossie Green— Catharine McCormick. Mollie Green— Georgina Smith. Lotta Ayres— Marjorie Garlock. Mrs. Green— Edna Grant. Mary Ann French— Mary Valentine. Pauline— Grace King. Gladys— Ruby Coxworth. Lotta Ayres poses as a wealthy American who spends most of her time in Paris, has a French maid and speaks French like a Parisian. She tries to persuade her friend Flossie Green to learn French and to employ a French maid at any cost. During a ' conversation between the two, Mrs. Green enters and says that as it is Flossie ' s birthday, she may have what she likes if it doesn ' t cost more than ten dollars. A knock is heard at the dooi, and Mme. Renaud enters with a wonderful phonograph for sale which will teach one to speak French perfectly and in a very short time. Flossie is delighted, and decides up- on this as her birthday gift ; but Mr«. Green is doubtful. Mme. Renaud dis- covers that Lotta is not what she seems, and threatens to disclose tnis if she does not persuade her friend to take the phonograph. She gives them, an hour to decide while she goes next door. While Mme. Renaud is gone, and Flossie is out of the room, Mollie, her little sister, engages a maid and coaxes her to pose as French. When Flossie returns she decides to engage her rather than buy the phono- graph, and upon Mme. Renaud ' s re- turn Lotta ' s true position is revealed and Flossie decides that a birthdpv cake is more desirable than French maids or phonographs. Then Kilborn and Follick, the ' Ai- most Acrobats, performed fearful and wonderful feats upon the gymn mat- tresses and made most graceful bows after each stunt. Terry and McCormick, ' ' Black Faced Comedians, cracked a few stale jokes and upon receiving a threatening note from a stage hand, deemed it wise to retire to the wings. Last, but by nO ' means least, came The Artist ' s Dream. Scene — De Lipkau ' s Studio. Cast : Maurice De Lipkau— Ruth Day. Jeannette Horton— Margaret Messer.,
