SENIOR INNOVATION.

The class of 1911, which, by the
way, is just about the most versatile
bunch that ever received sheepskins
from "Alma "Alma" Mater, again
gave indisputable proof of their all
round ability when they broke col
lege tradition, on class day, and, in
stead of repeating worn-out jokes on
the faculty, censuring the college
verdants," and in a general way satir-
izing the last year of their college
life, they successfully staged the play,
"Anne, of Old Salem" a drama in
three acts, depicting tale of Salem
witchcraft, in the year 1892.
The class had intended TO hold the
play in the college grove just opposite
the administration Building, and had
already erected the stage and ar
ranged the seats, but inclement
weather forced them to stage it in
the chapel, and, ir- SO doing, they
were considerably handicapped by the
small stage and lack of fixtures. Not
withstanding this fact, it was a
remarkable success from every stand
point, and no doubt will become an
annual event
Although every member of the
class did exceedingly well, Miss
Dykes and Mr. Lindley were easily
the stars of the occasion, repeatedly
bringing down the house with their
clever impersonations
Prof. Adams coached the play, and
no little credit is due to that gentle
man for his untiring efforts to make
it success.
Elaborate costumes were worn, and
it was to defray the expenses of these
that small admission fee was
charged

believed to have prompted him to take
his life.

mlral Taylor was graduated from Jefer-

1862 and was appointed assistant surgeon
in the United States navy the fOllowins
year. lie was with Farragut on the

County Road Meesing

Official notice is given in this pa
per of the county road meeting, to
be held at the court house on March
9Th. This will be one of the most
important meetings ever held in the
county. Every township trustee
and road superintendent is required
by law to be present, and every per-
son interested in the great subject
of good roads ought to be present.
The theory that it is impossible to
have good roads in Winneshiek
county is a false one. Great i'm
provement has been made during the
past two or three years, and still
greater will be made in the future.
The roads should be so that they
will be passable for loaded vehicles
at all times of the year, and they
can be made so on the money now
raised for road work. Come to this
meeting, learn modern road work
ing methods, learn what your neigh
bors are doing, and you will go
home enthusiastic for good roads.
