A new mimeograph, which printed a much neater paper, was purchased during the year, and a new mimeoscope made possible the use of many clever illustrations.

Louise Thomas, Miss Nlonk, Senior Play HE SENIOR PLAY was presented on Friday, December l3. ln spite of the tradi- tional bad luck which this day usually brings to mind, the play was well-given, was appreciated for its fine humor, and was termed a success by all who attended its performances. The play was, The lmportance of Being Earnest, by Oscar Wilde. The char- acters were: lohn Worthing, Bob Morris, Algernon Moncrieff, William Warren, Rev. Canon Chausuble, Edward Todd, Lady Bracknell, Ethel Burger, l-lon. Cwendoline Fairfax, Martha Swanson, Cecily Cardew, Katherine Steele, Miss Prism, Louise Thomas, Lane, Donald Rossg and Merriman, Melvin Caviezel. The scene was laid in England. john Worthing lived in a country home and his attractive ward, Cecily Cardew, and her governess, Miss Prism, also resided here. lack's brother, Ernest, who lived in the city, was an imaginary relative who was used as an excuse for lack to make as many trips to the city as he desired. While in the city, jack went under the name of Ernest and this was the name with which C-wendoline Fairfax fell in love. When Algernon found out about lack's attractive ward, Cecily, he determined to pay her a visit under the pretense that he was lack's brother Ernest. Complications arose when lack attempted to get rid of his brother by sadly explaining that Ernest had died in Paris of a severe chill and Cecily suddenly entered to announce that Mr. Ernest Worthing had just arrived. This led to the exposure of names and a breaking- up of the friendship between Cwendoline and lack, and Cecily and Algy lwhich had been progressing very nicelyl, When Lady Bracknell and Miss Prism met, the fol- lowing was found out: Miss Prism had formerly been in the employ of Algy's mother and she had absent-mindedly misplaced a baby who had never been found. lack proved his claim to be that baby andlthen found out that his name really was Ernest after all-much to the delight of Cwendoline. l :-
