SENIOR CLASS PLAY.
Instead of having the regular class day
exercises, the class of 1913 gave a play
entitled "Mose," college comedy in
three acts. The play was produced in
the town hall on Saturday evening in
the presence of an unusually large crowd.
Mrs. Robert Gibson trained the seniors,
and the success of the play was due TO
her capable management. The principal
part, that of "Mose," football hero, was
taken by Oscar L. Snyder, while Hildred
Mar!att and Martha White had the other
leading parts. Ethel Pearcy, as frat
house matron, and Lloyd Chorpenning, as
William Edward. her son, were especial
ly good, and their cleverly acted parts
added to the humour OF the play. The
singing was very enjoyable, and solos
were sung by Hildred Marlatt, Bruce
Dicken, 6. L. LaRue, Pearl Shickle,
William VIM, 6. c. Bartlett, and Edith
Dodd. Mabel Boyd was the accompanist
for the evening.
BACCALAUREATE SERMON.
The sermon to the graduating class
was delivered Sunday night by Rev. DR..
James S. Montgomery, pastor ofthe Met
ropolitan Methodist Church of Washing
ton, D. c. A very large audience was
present. DR.. Montgomery's theme was
"The Highest Mission" and his text
was, 81 have come to seek and TO save
that which was lost" The speaker held
the tense interest of his audience from
beginning to end OF his most acceptable
address. He was eloquent and earnest,
and with effective illustration and pic
turesque imagery he made clear his
points and drove home the truths he

people. DR.. Montgomery is an excep-
tionally eloquent and attractive speaker,
and his address, which was helpful and
inspiring, was thoroughly enjoyed by all
who heard it.
