Amusing Stunt
Night Observed
at Colby College

one OIL the really DlS events Oh 'Nc
college year at Colby took place Fri
day evening in the college chapel.
Last night was annual stunt night un-
der the auspices of the Colby Chris
tian Association and every fraternity
in college We'd with. the other in put
ting on the most 1udicrous perform
ance possible. About SEQ students
from both divisions and the towns
people watched the antics of the boys.
Every seat was taken and so or more
were collected in the back of the room.
The entertainment opened with the
singing of the Colby marching song
by the audience. Then Marlin d. Far
mum, the program director, announced
numerous sketches by some of the
Delta Kappa Epsilon brothers. Evan
Shearman was the official announcer
of this group of sketches and the first
was Joseph C. Smith and his orches-
ira. Doubtless you have often heard
them on the phonograph. said Mr..
Shearman. Thereupon Smith, accom-
panied by McBay, came forth and lit
orally sawed cut a tune using a hand
saw and hammer. His second per-
formance was more successful than
his first and evoked much applause.
Next Con Jussell Row from Egypt
gave a marvellous mind reading en-
tcrtainment and. blindfolded. he NAM
ed various articles held up by his as
sistants, who went through the audi
ence collecting numerous trinkets for
this purpose AL Mercer gave a very
successful imitation under the head
of the human bobolink, and was en-
cored. Perhaps the most successful
sketch was when Vale and McBay ap-
peared as Caesar and Caaaline arrayed
in much black paint and gave a sing
ing and dancing sketch.
On account of the recent fire many
boys from the Alpha Tau Omega and
Zeta Psi fraternity have been staying
at the Phi Delta Theta house and un-
der the name of Alpha Zeta Phi these
boys put on one of the funniest imi-
tations of an old-fashioned school
that has ever been put on in the Col
by chapel. Some of the boys dressed
as coy maidens and all had varigated
&C stumeS that provoked much mirth
without any addition to the perform
ance. Each boy was called on to re-
cite a poem and each responded with
delicate little eulogy to some of the
more or less popular professors.
The next was the modern imita-
ton of Lochinvar by the Delta Upsi-
Ion fraternity. Again the costumes
were very humorous and 200-poun1
Asa Adams danced we'll with the 1G0-
pound Russell Squire.
Lambda Chi Alpha came forth with
q real minstrel show and they kept
the audience in roars of laughter for
a half an hour. The sympathetic sew
en- number scored the greatest hit
when seven of the youths sang little
ditties that savored strongly of the
Colby faculty to the tune Of a mando-
lin.
The ri Delta Phi fraternity put on
an imitation revival meeting with
songs and wit galore. Applause and
laughter greeted every number.
The Hedman hall gang put on the
final entertainment and many clever
sketches We're produced.
Again imitation of some of the
more revered members of the faculty
was rampant and howls of laughter
were the reward to til perspiring ac-
tors
At the end of the performance by
a popular vote or rather by the loud
est applause. the prize. a bushel of
peanuts was awarded to the Lambda
CHS for the Minstre, show.
