class extravaganza. The weeks OF dill
gent rehearsing were found to have re-
suited in a smooth, well-ordered perform
ance. The great amphitheater presented
picturesque spectacle, brilliantly lighted
en- the stage. with the shadows in the
auditorium forming a splendid back
ground for the picture. 1t was the first
time that an extravaganza had been at
tempted at night. and its success was en-
phatic.
The production of 1.-The Royal Road
called for the services of practically the
entire senior class. The list of principal
characters was a long one, and the cho-
ruses utilized hundreds of mea md
women students. The choruses scored a
decided hit, their costumes being elabo-
rate and attractive. their dancing finely
executed, and their groupings perfectly
done. -.
The extravaganza described the adven-
/ lures of Stuart Bumme, who. while
spending the holidays at Sunnyville, be-
comes engaged to Susie Faire. Returning
to college he learns that an immense for
| tune has been left him by his aunt on
condition that he graduate in May 1905.
He hazes a freshman during registra-
| ton and is punished by being prohibited
from graduating. His friends try to get
| Professor sitstill dismissed from the stu
dents affairs committee in order to help
Stuart Bumme. and Captain Nance's aid
is enlisted. Eventually Captain Nance
dismisses Professor Sitstill. and by this
time the man who was hazed calls it all a
| joke and Bumne is able to graduate, t1
wed and to get his legacy. synopsis
