CLASS DAY EXERCISES.

Monday morning the farewell chapel
exercises were held at the usual hour,
and from nine to twelve o'clock the oral
examination of Glasses was conducted in
the various recitation rooms.
The next event occurred at 3 O'Clock
Monday afternoon, when the class day
exercises were held in the chapel. 1t
has long been the custom in Alma to
show up the foibles of the faculty on
class day, and the usual custom was
closely adhered to this year. The chap.
ell was crowded and the applause that
greeted 1.-THE Searchlight," a play writ.
ten and enacted by the class to make
ridiculous the idiosyncracies of faculty
and students, would seem to indicate
that the people were satisfied. The play
was intended to show how the pure.
minded youth who enters upon his
freshman year, falls from grace and gets
mixed up in college pranks, which bring
him into disrepute with the faculty, but
after all do not seriously hurt the man.
Many happy illusions and timely hits
were thrown in all the way through,
but the house was brought down with
the faculty meeting" Among the
parts which were especially we'll taken
were the following-Dr. Bruske, A. J.
Helmer; Miss Allen, Miss Taylor Prof.
Notestein, Henry Soule; Prof. Mitchell,
Lucius Bagley Miss Ge)ston, Miss Haz.
elton; Prof. j. w. Ewing, Pearl Fuller;
Prof. j. I. Ewing. Wallace Weber; A.
P. Cook, II. N. Ronald; Miss Kohn,
Essy Hooper; Miss COBB, Myrtle Nichol.
son Prof. Harper, Geo. Timoy.
After the faculty meeting the Rev.
Pearl Fuller, d. D., delivered the bacca.
laureate sermon to the junior class and
willed TO them the tile hat and brown
jug which is handed down each year to
the succeeding senior class. The mirth-
provoking program ended happily with
the class song, which was written by
the class poet, H. II. Soule, and is as
follows:-
