recalled similar painful experiences
TO the minds Of many Of our stud

moved almost TO tears 10 be sudden
iy brought back to laughter by some
humorous saying OF the reader. The
production was given with change
Of costumes and the time between
scenes was filled by Miss Joyce
Manning at the piano. Its success
was evidenced by the great amount
of favorable comment which is still
going the rounds Of the campus.
