Senior Play

The play, "Charley's Aunt" pre-
sented by the senior class OF the high
school last Friday night, attracted
a large attendance, not only from
the fact that all local talent made
the presentation, but from the real
artistic ability of those taking part.
Eleven young people presented the
play which was an amusing little
drama OF Oxford life, and portrayed
realistic scenes of the Joys and woes
in the lives of youth, The parts were
evenly balanced and effected much
care as to detail and preparation. The
plot was laid out at Oxford COM
mencement time. Two college men,
Jack Chesney Dwight Gregg and
Charley Wychem (Ray Clary), meet
and recount the serious difficulties
attendant upon their love affairs To
further complicate events, Charley is
threatened by a visit from his aunt,
Donna Lucia D'Alvadores, a wealthy
widow from Brazil. In order to en-
tertain their sweethearts at lunch
con the young men persuade another
college friend, Lord Fancourt Bah
berly (Arvin Burnett to impersot-
ate the part of the wealthy aunt. Reta
Gard and Alice Hast, taking the part
of the boys sweethearts, cause much
perturbance in the hearts of the
young men by Instantly falling in love

The ladies of the Upper Granite
Street Embroidery club wended their
way to the home of Mrs. Storey on
Aida street, Thursday afternoon,
May 2, where they met in regular
session. While they were almost out
of their latitude, from the boundary
line standpoint, they were, however.
not out of their element as was man
ifest by the animated conversation
and many busy needles. Following
the order of business informality was
the keynote, and the pleasure of the
afternoon was emphasized by the
presence of a large number of addi-
tional guests. number of whom
with their knitting added a patriotic
touch to the meeting. The hostess
bad provided bountifully for the gas
tronomic pleasure of her guests and
as a pleasing conclusion to the af-
ternoons entertainment, served de-
licious war menu. In this service she
was assisted by her mother, Mrs.
Baker, and her daughter, Mrs. Sow
ers. The next meeting will probably
be the last one for this season, and
the club will enjoy the hospitality
of Mrs. Yeo on Nutley street, who
will be hostess on the first Thurs
day in June. 1t is requested that all
be present as nearly as pos
sible, in order that any remaining
business may be settled up to date.

OUR APOLOGY TO THE DEVIL

We have been calling the kaiser names and
in way, it does seem childish, doesn't it? Be-
cause the kaiser is just the kaiser, just one of
co. 100000 Germans and largely the product OF
his heritage and his environment.
But on the other hand, he is the emblem, the
symbol of the idea which the Germans have set
up and consequently we are entitled to use him as
Ia convenient target.
But quite aside from this impersonal idea,
there is personality of the kaiser which we
have been comparing to that OF the devil and
so now we'd like to apologize to the devil We
don't pretend to know any more about his Satanic
Majesty (meaning the devil, not the kaiser) than
other people do, but this much seems clear; he
is the embodiment Of evil in the world Being
such, he is not responsible for himself AS long
as evil exists in the world, in various forms, and
we want to condense it to a personality, some
personality has to stand for it, and we have elect
ed the deyil. 'Tisn't exactly his fault. AS far as
we know, he wasn't even a candidate for the posi-
ton. He's the embodiment of evil. He's the
devil; that's all. ..- ~.
That's as bad as can be! you say. 1t would
seem so, but not quite. The kaiser goes the devil
one better. Joking? Not bit of it. We say it
deliberately. The kaiser is worse than the devil.
And here's the proof. =: a.
The devil is content to be the embodiment of
evil. He is frankly and candidly the devil. He's
not sneak, cur, coward. He doesn't dodge
his own evil. He's not hypocrite! g.
But the kaiser! He blames his devilishness
on God. He keeps claiming that Deity is respon-
sible for his wars, his murders, his schrecklich-
keit. This is nothing new in him. All through
his career he has claimed to be The War Lord
the Divine Choice and Voice, until me und Colt"
became proverb at least 70 years 4 i x
The kaiser had a choice between war and
peace, between good and evil between democracy
and autocracy between civilization and schrecks
lichkeit He deliberately chose Worse in every
instance. He is damned Of his own election.
Not 50 the devil. His worst enemies have
never accused him of Dragging about me und
Gott." By the vote of the world we made him
emperor of hell and we keep him there. Well
leave it to vote of the world whether Bill Hohen-
zollern shall remain emperor of Germany.
So if ever We have compared the kaiser to the
devil we apologize-to thedevilDe The devil is the
devil but the kaiser is the kafserzai", T., j.. r, om,
