MADE SPORT OF THE SENIORS
CLASS-DAY FUN OF HIGH
SCHOOL JUNIORS.
HIGH
An Entertaining Programme, In
Which the Graduating Glass Was
Cleverly Burlesqued.

The High school assembly room was
filled to overlooking last evening with
an appreciative audience, attracted by
the Junior classday exercises. For the
most part the programme was made I'D
of burlesques on the senior class. but
this evening the latter will return with
interest the exaggerations of the
| juniors, and it will all be made to an
pear that the class of 90 is mighty
! jealous of the seniors. In the pro-
gramme, caricature alternated with
music and song, and again with grave
and gay speeches, all refreshing in or
! iginality and bristling with witty.
though not offensive, personalities.
To the. air of Three Cheers for the
Red, White and Blue" the entertain
ment commenced with the juniors sing
ing an original song entitled, You
Seniors Don't Know Where You're At"
Then came President Percy Berkley's
address. 1t was in a vein of rich, clean
humor, aimed at the senior class. Miss
Agatha Berkhoel very sweetly sang
Stars and Stripes Forever" and Harry
Fulton spoke on Decoration Day" in
manner that would be most credita-
BILE to a college graduate.
Next was parody on the ever-popu-
lar drinking song, in which the juniors
again made sport of their superior
class. Miss Gertrude Hartman played
a piano solo with artistic execution, and
then the slides in the stereopticon were
operated Several of the juniors had
contributed pencil sketches of the
seniors, and every time the ludicrous
pictures appeared on the canvass, the
audience quickly recognized some WELL
known senior.
witch Scppa adan fod frnr,
beth" was one of the distinct hits of
the evening. Mark Brown, Frank
Moore and John Turner, the witches,
danced around the cauldron, reciting
their supposed grievances against the
seniors and bidding farewell to the
junior class fluctuations the past
year.
Part II was given over to burlesque
reproduction of the senior class ban
quet last winter at the Hotel Kenyon.
Isaac Ball impersonated Principal
Clark, and Roy Milliron represented
Professor Gillian in speech and ges-
ture, and other characters were acted
as follows: Waldemar Young, a senior,
by WinSlow Smith, a Junior; Jacobus
Coleman, by Percy Berkeley; Eveliner
Thomas, by Mabel Bolto; Arthur
Thomas, by William Richards; Richard

vim Jackson, by Frank Foote; Jasmine
Young, by Pearl Weller; Halle Fer
ron, by Carrie Sappington; and Irma |
Alff, by Nellie Goss.
Commencing with a song, "All Seniors
Look Fright to Me- set to popular |
air, the banquet scene was made merry |
and ludicrouS with every sarcasm of !
speech, responding to toasts, and every |
of action such as only the |
designing juniors could invent and exc

Before a pleasing interlude, a piano |
duet by Misses Sadie Merrill and Edna
Professor Clark directed at
tention to the notice at the bottom of
the programme cards. that between |
scenes mothers could get milk for the
freshmen in the basement.
Another witch scene was enacted, the
