vox COLLEGII Graduation Exercises 5 C LOSING WEEK. The first of the series of entertain- ments eonneeted with the closinf? was the play As You Like It, staged by the Dramatic Club Friday evening?, June 8th. Miss Ida Dodge made a pretty Rosa- lind, and, when she was a man, wore her doublet and hose with a fine air of care- less ease. Miss Mabel McKinnon as Orlando had her usual success in play- ing a man ' s part, and her voice and bearing made one forget that she was not really a man. Miss Frances Fraser was a charming Celia, and an affection- ate sister for Ganymede. The difficult role of Touchstone was well played by Miss Winnifred Symington, whose gest- ures and speeches afforded great enter- tainment to the audience. The Melan- choly Jacques, also pleased the audience veiy much, and Mrs. Merkley ' s deep voice was well suited to the part. The juniors, too. showed quite favor- a])ly in the play, Vida Luno as Oliver, Leon a lerkley as the banished duke, Florence Horn as the usurping duke, r;ir fuei-ite Ai-mstrong as Silvius, and Fadge Robinson as Phebe. Of the m ' moi- characters, the acting of Helen Millay in the role of Adam called forth most applause. Saturday morning the bright sunshine put evei ' yone in high spii ' its.
