noxious young woman from Derby. Miss
Mather of Boston, thinks both the Chi
cage and Derby girl had better be rele-
gated to the academy until they learn
70 conduct themselves properly. The
Chicago girl arises in high rage, knock
ing over her chajS. the Derby girl begins
10 cry and the class meeting breaks up
il general confusion and hysteria.
Act 3 was "A Faculty Meeting" This
was the most amusing part of the even
ing. 1t came near home, and here the
class got even with the faculty for all
the toll and severe examinations of the
past four years. The Senior class has
exactly the same number. as the faculty
while the class has nine girls and one
fellow, the faculty has nine men and one
woman. So it was the more amusing
when Mr.. McClung impersonated Miss
CloUgh. The other parts were as fol-
lows: DR.. Morrison. Ellen ROBINSON DE-
Cooley, Anna Jones; Professor Barlow,
Clara Richards; Professor Gavitt, Lily
Zeininger; Professor Clark, Daisy Zein-
niger; Professor Buck. Beatrice Baker;
Professor Isely, Adeline Finn; Professor
RQuiet. Mary Nickerson; Professor Spind-
Ter. Mabel MilIison.
The girls each had in some way secured
the every day coat and neckue of the one
they represented and this made it more
comic.
The mimicry of manners and voices, the
presentation of Characteristic sayings and
motions rendered this a scene long to be
remembered. DR.. Morrison, in his dig
nifty, courteousness and seriousness: Miss
Clough in her devotion to the interests
of her girls; Barlow in his nervous
alertness and demand for thorough work,
and his desire To speak little; Gavett in
his quiet but exact reporting of eel n
quent students; Cooley in his devotion to
technical accuracy and desire TO make
Fairmount college face east like the tenn
pie Of Apollo in Corinth, were exceeding
~ well presented. Professor Buck in his
desire to bring UP everything in general
and nothing in particular and in his as
surance that several students. or at least
one who was coming here next year;
Isely with his energetic and forcible
ideas; Roulet in his report on three days
spent to get a book bound for So cents:
Spindler in his somewhat caustic and
pointed remarks; Clark in his devotion to
the assistant treasurer's book, were
equally well served I'D.
Act 4, class banquet. This showed all
the class seated at a tastefully arranged
banqueting table. This was serious
scene, and intended to be a class banquet
in brief
Miss MillisOn delivered a short but very
telling Grafton on THE Duties of College
Graduates" showing how they should
use the mental powers and culture at
tanned here 10 elevate society, how in
every profession and walk of life the coll
lege graduate should be help TO So
ciety to larger and purer life
Miss Robinson read the class prophecy,
picturing the future position and life of
the members of the class.
Miss. Baker read the class poem, run
ming from gay to grave.
The class song, written by Mss Baker,
was sung to the tune OF Aud Lange
Syue' Then the president, Miss Nicker-
erson. with few well chosen words,
handed the college insignia, a golden can
dlestck, down TO the Junior class Miss
Jettie Laycock replied on behalf of the
Junior class
Act ), The Ideal Prophecy" was
series Of tableau, representing Miss Rob
inson's prophecy, Miss Richards was
shown as a teacher. Miss Lily Zeininger
as an editor. Mr. McClung as a preacher
and Miss Baker as a city Missionary. Miss
Nickerson posed as a nun. and Daisy
Zeininger as a sorrowing young widow.
, 1t should be said that neither of these
young ladies have any intention or desire
10 fulHu either Of these parts but they
chose these characters because they
would look Wen in these costumes. Miss
Finn was shown as doctor with 4 most
horrible case Of surgeons tools. and Miss
Robinson looked well as q professional
nurse. Miss AIillison fulfilled Inc part Of
q philanthroDhist without any expense
and Miss Jones was 8 prima dona without
singing.
