parlors of Wheeler hall. and because
Of the pleasure of listening to two
very talented members of the faculty.

ner sang, A Perfect Day. and The

The House of Rimmon, drama by
Henry Van Dyke. is the play selected
by the senior class for presentation
on the evenings OF Saturday and Mon

this play has given general satisfac-

is an American product, representing
the more purposeful and literary situ-
atoms and stage pictures. The char
acters are convincing and dramatic,
but not too difficult for amateur in
depreciation. The setting is Biblical.
