PROGRAM
Lecture Wednesday Night Promises
to Be Funny and Will Be the Last
Event Arranged by the Board Of
Control

The fourth event of the Polytechnic
Winter Entertainment course will be
given Wednesday night December s.
The borad of control of the Polytech-
mic High School-has secured the SER
vices of the noted humoris. John
Kendrick Bangs of New York, for the
evening.
Mr.. Bangs is known all over the
country both as q literary man and
humorist. During his many years of
literary work he has been at The head
of some of the most popular Inaga-
zines in the country, notable among
which was his editorship of "Har-
pers' Weekly" the American Edition
Of Literature" and the "Metropoli-
tan" magazine. For some time he also
edited the comic magazine, "Puck."
Mr.. Bangs books are considered
second only to Mark Twain's works
and Holmes "Autocrat at the Break
fast Table" "The House Boat on the
Styx''- and Coffee and Repartee" are
examples of Mr.. Bangs works. He
has contributed largely to the period
ical literature of the past twenty
years, is the author of several success
full plays, a platform speaker and
reader of much charm.
The Polytechnic board of control
has gone to great expense and trouble
to secure Mr.. Bangs services. They
have worked untiringly and are con-
graduating themselves upon their sue
cess in getting such a popular man to
entertain their students
The Polytechnic students are quite
alive to the situation. From the
amount of enthusiasm displayed by
them it is expected a full house will
greet the .humorist on the stage next
Wednesday. Up to the recent time the
entertainments rendered by the board
OF control have been either OF
scientific or musical nature, This is
the first of q humorous nature and
the change seems to be appreciated
by most of the student.
On "Wednesday night Mr.; Bangs is
to speak ON his popular topic, Prom

centrated on humor and the humorlst.,
The title suggests many wide openings
for wit and undoubtedly wiz take Well
