The Iris was what might be called a
boom edition-it was unusually fine. Wal
lace Parkinson managed 10 amuse Tor
some time by glib nonsense, and Ed.
Woodcock, being forced vociferously upon
the rostrum, said enough In twenty words
to keep his hearers roaring during the five
minu es he was expected to speak. That
famous ditty, seeking information as to
the locality in VIII CHI that famous head
gear was come into possession OF, was
catchlngly rendered by George and Mollle
Ross, who were Obliged to repeat ere the
laughing and applause would subside. 1t
was Georges first vocal effort before those
dreaded monsters, his classmates. but he
overcame bashfuiness. Miss Blanche
Fechheimer, as usual, did finely in her
pathetic recitation. North Clark seemed
to interpret mis- selection Alright, Judging
from the applause. Immediately after
MIR. Woodcock's hilarious effort several
shove ed off what they knew of parliament
AIRY tactics, to the amusement OF some and
the awe-struck ad miration of others.
