luis THE PERISCOP13 2:5 GIH55 Song Tune: Over Th ure By ADALINE and FRED HENNINGS I. Class-mates, do you know that it's so, we must go, Our diploma won, play is done, work begung We must leave the dear old school, Where we've broken every ruleg But we'll have a heart, make 11 start, do our part, In life's busy throng forge along, brave and strongg Each will do his chosen work, And our tasks we'll never shirk. Chorus: So good-bye, Waverly High, Dear old school that we'll love till we dieg You've been patient ever With dull and cleverg We'll miss you as the years go byg Your aid we'll lack, but we'll come back At the call of the Yellow and the Blackg Tho years may change us, They can't estrange us, For we'll not forget our dear old Waverly High. II. Our school has stood the test, She's the best in the West, And we're proud to claim both her name and her fame, Loyal friend of days now gone, For her sake we'll Carry On. She sends us forth to iight with our might for the right And we'll do our bit, make a hit, never quit, When upon a goal we're set, 1918 ne'e1' failed yet. Senior Glass llbicnic Taking advantage of a short vaca- tion, the Senior class hiked for the woods. Needless to say, they ate din- ner when they got there. It required a few additions from Janesville to make it a meal, but that meant there would he more left for supper-and there was. just to say they had a good time will fill the bill: they did enjoy themselves, as far as we know. By the way, this picnic was at Riverside, and that meant more Seniors on the after- noon train. Things came to more or less of a crisis, or at least an anti- climax, when everybody turned in for our evening repast-or maybe it was just supper. XVe didn't have to depend on the train to take us back, or wouldn't have, if our jitneys had worked. liven Mar- vin's lecture didn't help any, or at least nothing more than to warm up the air, which was getting a little chilly. But this didn't stall us, we had a rope, and it wasn't much work to tow a Ford into town. Oh, yes, we had a chaperone, Miss Tyrrell, but she wasn't there all the time. Anyhow, nothing naughty was done. How'did we enjoy ourselves af- ter supper? VVe wouldn't dare say, but we all did enjoy ourselves. But it was a tired lot that got back after that strenuous day.

' Q , W .iq 1:11 SYNOPSIS The students are practicing for a football game, and much interest in the outcome is shown. It develops that Douglas Brown. a football expert from another college, is in town on business connected with his father's estate, and to distract attention, enters this college and thru Phyllis Lane he is induced to play on the team. Robert Preston, a lawyer, secretly loves Marion Dayton, his ward, and she reciprocates. He intrusts to her the combination of his safe and tells her of a packet of important papers lying therein. Louise Ross and her mother. Mrs. Brown, stepmother of Douglas, learn that a second will disinheriting them is among the papers in Preston's safe. They plot to obtain possession of the document at a mask ball giv- en by Marion. Louise wears a costume ident- ical with that of Marion, deceives Preston, learns from him the combination of the safe, and obtains the papers therefrom by the aid of Jack Austin. The Imp , a girl student, sees and recognizes her. ' Preston enters and recognizes Jack. and convinced that he meditates robbery, upbraids him. Marion enters and, comprehending the situation, as she fancies, she shields Jack by assuming the guilt. Her innocence is fully es- tablished by The Imp , who exposes Louise. Meanwhile Douglas wins the game for the team and realizes that he loves Phyllis, but when he learns that she has trifled with him, he becomes cool. This. however, passes away, and happiness follows. Preston, after learn- ing of Marion's innocence, discovers that he loves her, and their dream of the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow is happlly realized.
